THE LESSON OF LIFE.

In her great papers in Harper S
Bazaar on The World Invisible"
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is writing
of this life as we'll as of the life to
come. In the July Bazaar she says:
My dear said a woman of the
wise world to young girl, never
tell people how you feel Nobody
wants to hear What is true of bod
lily disorder is as true of mental
pain Nobody wants to hear We
learn the difficult art of silent en-
durance. Repression, reserve, cour-
age, replace the first natural outcries
of suffering After a time, we begin
to feel almost ashamed of ourselves,
not for the pang, but for complain
ing of it. Then, from the rebellion
of youth, from the endurance of mid
die life. we pass on into the pa
thence of advancing age. An impa-
tient old person is a scholar at the
foot of the human class; he is perso-
ma non grata at the court Of life; he
may be tolerated, but he will not be
loved, and he will speedily find out,
if he did not know it before. that ha
who has outlived his welcome in this
world might as well be somewhere
else"

Out of dreams come the substan-
tial and permanent things of life.
The architect first sees the great
structure like a vision in his mind,
the mechanic has photograph of the
great locomotive, can feel its giant
throbs beat like the heart of Hercu-
les, before single piece of steel is
shaped or turned. Out of our dreams
comes character. 1t is well to give
much consideration to our visions
and our dreams. They are the chill
dren of our brain, and if they are
pure, noble and perfect, when they
are grown and they go out into the
world, our lives will be blessed and
We will be reckoned as not having
lived in vain. THE old men see Wis
ions and the young men dream
dreams" The old men see visions of
their youth that is fled, and they
muse over the dreams of by-gone
days, and are happy in proportion as
their dreams come true. Young men
dream of valorous deeds, and
mighty achievements or they dream
of insignificant deeds and little ac-
complishments.- Enter

TO CONTEST DENEEN's ELECTION
Democratic Chairman In Illinois Wants
a Recount Of Votes.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE election Of
Gov. Chas. s. Deneen to serve another
term as governor Of Illinois will be
contested by his defeated Democratic
rival, according to a signed statement
issued Friday night by Chas. Boesch-
enstein, chairman Of the Democratic
state central committee. The state
ment follows:
Il am convinced that with correct
count and an honest canvass Adlai e..
Stevenson has a plurality Of the vote
cast in the election last Tuesday for
governor Of Illinois. The demand will
be made upon the legislature, as pro
vided In the statutes"
Gov. Deneen's plurality is estimated
at from $4,000 to 10000. Ben Atwell,
secretary, explained that errors had
already been discovered In several pre-.
cincts. and 1t was calculated that II
only three ballots in each Of the 4,040
voting precincts in Illinois were taken
from Deneen and given on recount to
Stevenson the latter would seem to
have won the election.

5000 members represeting every
branch Of industry. The first series Of

mercial conditions, appeared in the oc.
tober is issue Of the magazine. The
series now published indicates con.
tinuation OF this improvement and for
the most part an optimistic view Of the
business outlook.
kilograms were also sent prior to
the election to o number Of the associ-
atoms members asking them to state
specifically how many wOrkingmen
would be added 10 their present force
by December II nothing occurred to
shake commercial confidence. A re-
sumo Of the information contained in
these replies Is also given by the mag
azine as follows:
"The percentage Of replies received
indicate that an average Of 1856 men
each will be added to the majority Of
manufacturing plants in the associ-
alton by December !. The percentages
show that at least one-half OF the 5000
members Of the National Association
Of Manufacturers expect to add to
their present force more than 100000
workingmen.
Taking this as q basis" says the
article, ut is safe to assume that the
$4,000 manufacturers. which, accord
ing to the census of 1900, employed
an average each Of 100 men or over,
will add at least so per cent to their
present force, making q total In round
figures Of 10000 men. In other words
with the continuance Of business con-
fldence the important manufacturing
interests OF the coutry will be enabled
to increase their present force by
more than 100000 workingmen to meet
the market demands for their products.
"In securing this information, DEM
ocratic and Republican manufacturers
alike were addressed. No attempt
was made to limit the canvass to any
particular industry or to any particular
section Of the country and the queries
sent to manufacturers were based sole
ly upon actual business conditions and
business possibilities for the future"
