The Narrow Way.
Matt. 1913, IL.

Narrowness is Christ idea Of the
way of life, a straitened way, the way
of truth. For moment pause and
ask: Could it be otherwise? It is IL
o'clock, the orthodox regulator at the
watchmaker's points with exactness
to that hour. every narrow" exclaim
all the cheap timepieces Of the neigh
borhood, and they persistently point
to all hours from $50 to midday, but
their boasted liberality is only mex
actness, which is another word for
untruth.
So orthodoxy in the iarbor channel
marks with exactness eacn rock Of
sunken hulk, and puts its danger sig
nails out. A liberal pilot might be
careless of these signals, but the pas
senger would prefer that the pilot
should be overcautious rather than
too liberal.-H. E. Partridge, Pomo-
na, Tenn.

Why shall not the blacksmith make
his hammer and anvil express his
hope? Why shall not the farmer pub
fish his secret? Almost any man can
learn the technical part Of any work
from carpentry to poetry-but no
man hath mastered a trade till it be-
comes language through which he
can express himself to all men. O..
the drudgery of life lies in the fact
that we bend above our work like
dumb driven cattle with never a
secret of our heart told in our work.
And this shall be the JOY Of our life,
that we make our vocation proclaim
to all the world the truth that God
hath put into our hearts!

Early Leap Year Story.

A mismated family's troubles were
sseing aired in the Superior Court.
Room l. Judge McMaster listened to
the mans story-he was the plaintiff
and had charged his wifg with cruel
and inhuman treatment. He was a
small man, and his wife-well, there
were at least apparent grounds for
the charge. After the plaintiff had
finished his testimony Judge McMas
ter decided to ask question.
Where, Mr. Trouble, did you meet
your wife who has treated you this
way?"
"Well, Judge" somewhat meekly),
"you see it's this. way. I never did
meet her. She just kind O. overlook
me"--Indianapolis News.

Commit Yourself to God.

Grief for things past that cannot
be remedied and care for things to
come that cannot be prevented may
easily hurt, but can never benefit me.
I will, therefore, commit myself to
God in both and enjoy the present.

Work anu calling open to men. When

desp.se its wage. II thy calling
yield thee not culture for mind and
heart, it is but coffin for thy better
nature. Demand of your life work
that it shall make a man out Of YOU.
Work is a great influence giver.
And here we come upon another
blunder. 1t is not the kind of work
you do that gives you influence so
much. That is what the world
thinks. 1t is the way you do it.
Quality counts for more than kind.
1t Is true. OF course, that there are
some vocations that in themselves
damn the worker. All labor that
vices is OF that sort. It is true also
that certain kinds of work give more
consideration than others
The minister, because he is min
ister, occupies q larger place in the
community than the day laborer
That is, he does if he ministers. His
great calling will not serve in itself
MANY laborer in many village has
village than the parson has been.
For, after all, the thing that counts
in influence is not money or posses
sions. It is quality, thing, an at
mosphere. 1t is personality. So the
f1neness of mans work. or the
coarseness of it, is the thing by
which he is at last judged in the
community.

RAILWAY EXTENSIONS.
Millions of Dollars VIII BE rxpend-
ed by the Burlington.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 2S.-One
hundred million dollars, it is an
nounced in Spokane, will be expend-
ed by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railway company in extend
ing its system into the North Pacific
coast country. The company recent
ly authorized a bond issue of $780,
100000, the largest in the history
of American railroads, and it comes
from unquestionei sources that full
ly one-third of tat amount is to be
used in extending it's lines from
Montana through Idaho and Wash
ington to tidewater. There are some
who believe that James j. Hill, who
controls the Burlington, will also en-
ter the Hartman territory in Ore
gon and California, but this is not
generally credited. However, the re-
port of the extension of the system
shows the degree of confidence the
railroad builders have in the resour-
ceS ana future OI tnlS rlch ana only
partly developed country and that
this belief is to be expressed in big
undertakings There are more miles
of railroad under obstruction and
projected in Washington than in any
other state in the union, the total
reaching $500 miles, while Idaho,
Montana, Oregon and British Col
umbia also show enormous gains in
trackage. Six lines are now being
pushed through what is known as
the Inland Empire to Puget Sound
and the west coast.

state of affairs was discovered by
Bromley Wharton, general agent of

Mr.. Wharton asked the prisoners
what complaints they had to make.
An inmate replied:
Mister, we're being overfed The
sheriff's wife does not take into &C
count the fact that we are cooped
up here without chance to hustle
around and get exercise, and yet she
feeds us on pie and cake and a lot
of rich things calculated to make
us all grouchy with dyspepsia.

Street car conductors regard inquisi-

tious dread The other day a fuse
blew out In a Broadway car, and that
car was hitched on as ii trailer to the
one ahead. Presently woman be-
gan to ask questions.
What would happen she said, "if
the fuse were to blow out in that car
ahead? What would become of u.s.
Would the car ahead Of that be able
to drag both of these cars?"
Il don't know" said the conductor
But don't worry. We won't have a
chance to find out. "A double accident
of that kind has',never happened to a
car of mine yet. and It isn't likely to
happen once in hundred years"
Just then there came an explosion
ahead. and both cars came to stand
still. The fuse had blown out.
'Confound that woman! growled
the conductor. THAT Is all her fault.

hadn't asked so many fool questions.

WHAT SCHOOL FOR THE BOYS:

Parents with sons who have COM
pleted the high school course are
now studying that phase of the hoy
problem, - What school for the
young man.
No period of the boys life is more
important than that in which he Sc
vers home ties for the first time His
college becomes his foster parents,
and has a lot to do with shaping
his destiny.
In a general way, the school
should teach him useful things.
Definitely, it should give him train
ing that will help him deal with
practical things This doesn't mean
that he should receive a technical
education right off. Rather, that his
mind should be kept in proper trim
through activity along proper lines,
and his physical being in condition
a. well.
The school whose faculty and
management have not proper esti-
mate of the Importance of physical
development along with the mental
is not proper place for the boy
Send him to school where athletics
are encouraged.
Look to the discipline of the
school. 1t should be firm, but sympa-
thetic. The boy should be watched
but not spied upon. He should have
inculcated in his being the spirit of
self-reliance and personal RESPONSE
bility for his acts. The discipline
that does not develop these attrib-
utes is dangerous to the state as
we'll as the boy.
Don't send the boy to a school
that 'molds'-the molding process
is too suggestive of a plaster cast.
Better school that develops indi-
yiduality and character. Above all.
remember that the boy is to become
nan and will then be thrown upon
his own resources, for good or evil,
for better or for worse.-Fort
Worth Star.
