Honesty Makes Success.

A great fortune has been held, per
sc, to be conclusive OF double-dealing
and fraud. To be oppressive and dis
honest has been declared the only way
to attain great financial success. This
we claim to be untrue as statement
of fact. declares Leslie's Weekly, and
at the same time a dangerous doctrine
by plain law of psychology. Young
men want success spelled with big
81 and the ambitious are not salts
fed short of fair degree of material
reward. For this there is no moral
blame But already the harm has
been done in making the false sugges-
ton that in order to be successful one
has only to be Slick" overshrewd, dis
honest. In the far-reaching influence
of simple suggestion we have one OF
ohe most valuable contributions OF
modern psychology. The smallest
word of suggestion can reshape
career. Thus the erroneous preaching
of many a sincere moral leader has
worked we know not how much harm.
With true conception of what consti
tutes the highest aim of life, there has
been coupled false suggestion of how
10 obtain what may be called lower
form of SUCCESSIVE material. On the
contrary, the lesson always to be
driven homa il that real success
moral, intellectual or economic
comes only as the reward of honest
effort on the part Of every man. No
other thought should ever be sug-
gested. The surest way to any lasting
prominence. even though it be finan-
cial, is the way of old-fashioned hon.
esty and integrity. These qualities
were never more valued than to-day,
!, and now. as always. they pave the
Z road to fortune.

Pure air, as every sensible person
knows, is essential to health. The man
or woman who seeks to build up and
maintain good physical condition will
try to dwell where pure air abounds.
Our first act in life is to breathe; the
cessation of breath is death. Between
that first instructive act of respiration
and the last feeble. fiuttering gasp,
how little practical thought is given to
the vital subject of correct breathing!
rAs free as air." runs the proverb. The
economy practiced by many in breath
ing the proper amount of air would
apparently mark 1t as rare and ex-
pensive commodity. At least twice .
day practice any good exercise that
will fully initiate the lungs and fill the
blood with life-giving oxygen, recon-
mends the New York Weekly. Do not
breathe as II under a bell-glass and
you feared to exhaust the supply! Lie
nat on your back upon the floor
Stretch the arms high above the head
Inhale slowly through the nostrils un
til the lungs are filed. Retain the all

CHATTER III.
When the Flag Came Down.

When the Flag Came Down.
The government was compelled to
take action toward pacifying its own
subjects Immediately after the news
of the Hawaiian surrender, public in
dignation having risen to the point
where the people threatened to take
matters into their own hands. With
out dissenting voice the journals of
the country came forth with scathing
editorials, occasionally asking the
president whether it was the intention
of the administration to run up a
white flag as soon as fast approach
ing enemy neared the shores, and thus
surrender the whole United States.
Therefore an appeal for patience was
issued in the following terms:
THE president and his cabinet,
acting for and empowered by congress
in special session, most urgently ask
the people of the United States to
withhold judgment on the conduct OF
the war for at least week longer;
when it win be fully demonstrated
that the government is following a
well-defined policy. which will not only
avert bloodshed. but will impose no
disgrace upon our country. The ex'
igencies Of the situation are such that
to make public our plans would be to
defeat our own ends. We therefore
ask the earnest support and co-opera
ton Of the people of the United States
by such means as lie within theiI
power, which at this time can be
shown best by cessation of mass
meetings and criticisms tending only
to embarrass the government in the
discharge of its duty and the bringing
to a successful termination the con
flict which is now on"
Contrary to the usual form Of procla
nation, this one was signed not .onl,
by the president. but by all members
| of his cabinet, who, therefore, joint,
assumed the responsibility. At frs
there was an inclination to deride tn,
message. and then when more sobe
thought prevailed spirit of fairness
| dictated that the administration shoul'
have its chance.

tack might be expected against tn
shores Of the United States proper TO

days seemed reasonable limit within
which the government might demon
strate its theories.
1t was possible that the public tenn
per would have remained passive for
the full period, but for a somewhat
unfortunate and graphic description OF
what had taken place in the Philip
pines, cabled by the correspondent
Of a London paper, who had been on
the scene, and which read as follows:
'The surrender of the Philippine is
lands by the United States to Japan
constitutes what is probably the most
remarkable chapter in the history of
wars. Not only was there no battle
fought nor any attempt made at de-
tense, but what is worse. or would
seem SO to any man with red blood
in his veins, is the humiliation Inn
posed upon the Americans by their
home government To an impartial
observer it would appear that nothing
but madness could dictate such pol
icy. The facts of the case are as fol-
lows:
Although trouble had been ex-
pected with Japan by every reasoning
inhabitant of the islands for many
months. the government at Washing
ton apparently made no attempt what
ever to strengthen its position, and,
on the contrary, seemed rather en-
deavoring to weaken it. AS the whole
world knows. there have been i'm
mense and costly Notifications under
progress of construction in the islands
for the last ten years. More than 30
days ago, by official order, work on
these defenses was summarily stopped,
the workmen discharged and the en-
gineers ordered home. This wac the
first act of treachery toward the Phil.
ippines.
Immediately following this incom
prehensible action all war vessels in
waters surrounding the islands and on
the Pacific station were ordered to
ports in Europe, where they rendez
voused in what can never be anything
but neutral territory. And there they
are at this moment, thousands Of
miles from the scene of conflict, in

range of the glasses it was discovered
that in the offing floated two cruisers
of the first class and one battle ship,
flying the Japanese flag and cleared
for action. The ofilcer in command
of the fort at once communicated this
fact to the governor, and a consulta-
ton was called, to which all oficials
of both branches Of government were
summoned. Inasmuch as the gravity
of the situation required the absolute
concurrence of all concerned, the con-
sultation was not confined to men of
high rank, but included every COM
missioned officer from the army and
every oficial of standing in the civil
government. The men, wondering at
this strange cali, and aware that
something unexpected had happened.
responded to the summons and re-
paired to the governors Office, where
they seated themselves silently. and

them. He. man grown gray in the
