The Effort of His Life o Failure.

before he wrote for the stage. when
he was a barrister waiting for his first

his life.
He was intrusted with the prosecu-
ton of an old Irish woman for stealing
a coat, and when he began the speech
that he had prepared and rehearsed so
carefully the old dame at once began
to interject: "Oh, We divil, sit down"
Sure, now, he's loier, yer honorw "Sit

minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked
the recorders Intervention, but that Of

Present GIVING WORSE Ihan Tipping.
The trend Of the times makes itself
felt in the matter of presents and
present giving. In the days OF our

were few and far between and were
marked by a stern simplicity. But we
have changed all that, and the up to
date riot of presents means a deadly
drain on our bank balances.

II Fourth Timer.

The other day the press chronicled the fact of a
forger being arrested for the fourth time each time
for similar ofense According to prevailing belief
it is asserted that once forger, always forger.
The experience of the foregoing chap seems to SUBJ
stantiate the theory being correct. Still there
are many wherein the theory has proved ncor-
rect, and it is only in isolated instances where the
rule holds good. This attraction, if it can be called
such, is attributable to the easy in which the
few have gained wealth with little expenditure of
ergy. Howetef allurng, however successful few
may have become at passing checks the majority
have been failures and have paid dearly for the ex-
perence that finally convinced them there moth
ing in it.
In time these men will learn that the arm of the
law is longer and more certain than the cleverest
plans they able to devise. They have been burnt
sufficiently and have no further desire to know
whether or not the fire is still hot. Undoubtedly
when this chap (who has been sentenced for the
fourth time) arrives at the prison he will beg
one to pull the wool off his eyes and brush the
cobwebs from his BRAIN Furthermore, he will prob
ably absorb little wisdom and conclude that his
idea of making money is wrong from every stand

Hope On, Hope Ever.

WHEN one has sunk to the depths of despair
and only see nothing but hopelessness before
him, it is indeed cheering to have one say, "Hope
on, hope ever" Who has not at times felt despond-
ency silently creep him and throttle hope, an
ticipation, sunny disposition, and bright future
in its relentless nav? It is then that one needs
someone to galvanize into being that dw1ndling
spark called "hope ere it is extingushed. There is
nothing sadder in this world than person who has
lost all hope in the present and the future. The
pathway of life is strewn with such pathetic wrecks.
They putter along aimlessly without ambition with
out friends, and without the counsel or inspiring
words of one who believes in them.
Look at Marius as he stood amid the ruins of
Carthage, forsaken friendless and exile from his
country. Altho pursued and hunted by his political
enemies he did not despair. He went doggedly
along and lived to shake the foundations of the Ro-
man empire. Let us hope on. even tho the odds are
tremendously against as We may yet conquer de-
feat and plant standard the pinnacle of
cess. We shall be the happier for it, and also be
companionable to those who know us. The man
who has hope in his heart soon becomes like Ii
mon, Athens peerless misanthrope, cynical critic
and enemy of everything that is beautiful. noble

Why Presume?

THERE many kinds Of rash and impudent
persons In this world who continually faunt the fact
that they gentlemen, whereas, they are simply a
mere shadow of what constitutes such. They seem
to forget that their speech, their actions their prin
ciples, and their ideals travelling advertisement
that tells to the world just what they really are.
They tell whether one has been accustomed to OBJ
serving high ideals, whether ne is all pretense
covered by thin of responsibility. They tell
whether one is humanitarian. broad minded, gen.
e1ous hearted and tolerant toward his fellow crea-
tures or whether he is cold and pitiless, and has
nothing in common with the human race, only inse-
far it contributes to his we'll being. The true gen.
tleman does not proclaim himself as such; he is
scous of the fact that appearances will establish his
status with whomever he comes in contact This is
true for successfully disguise from others
what sort of character he has. He may succeed for
a time, but failure generally arrives schedule

Heroic Treatment.

YOUNG man in Denver has confessed to COM
hitting statutory oense in order to get sent to the
penitentiary where he expects to be able to break
the opium habit It is seldom one reads of person
literally breaking into prison. 1t is usually just the
opposite, for most men will spend their fortune and
exhaust the influence of their friends in order to
avoid the stigma of penitentiary sentence
Considering that opium is such pernioious
drug and that annually it counts its victims by the
thousands, it would that its sale should be as
restricted the more dangerous kinds of poisons
are. For years opium has been close competitor
with liquor in its contributions of finished graduates
to the penitentaries. This young man in Denver
will find that his prison term will offer little help
less he makes up his mind to fight it by sheer will
power. In sacrificing his reputation to combat the
evil shows that he is determined to resort to heroic
treatment in order to himself Of habit that is
wrecking his life.

seemed to be that Harvard fairly, and is deserv-

of Yale's men broke down is simply considered one
of the hazards of the game. This is not as should
be, for it is conceded that the outcome would have
been different if this unfortunate accident had not
occurred. To take advantage of another's misfor-
tune in of this kind does not reflect the same
glory to the victors it would if both crews had
completed the race without accident While the
Yale men concede that Harvard won fairly, the lat
ter admit that another story might have been told if
the race had been devoid of breakdown.
