message telling all the senators and all
the rest what to do about it and the
supreme court passes a law making
everything cost more for while until
the expenses are all paid up. They call
1t tariff and that's what the two big
parties are always fighting about The
democrats don't want any tariff and
the republicans want a lot Of 1t. But
II isn't only coffee-stockings and per-
fumery are going up. too"
That amt going to worry me any,
declared the motorman, cheerfully.
But I'm dinged If 1 can see why Taft
and those fellows picked out coffee
to swing on. / thought the govern
ment got its money out Of postage
stamps and the stamps on beer kegs
and cigar boxes"
They do get some of 1t that way"
admitted the conductor. "but prices
have gone up so much that they need
more money. I suppose they might
have put 2-cent stamps up to 3 cents
just as easy as not, but that wouldn't
help much. Anyway. we've got to have
tariff to have prosperity. l heard a
fellow explain it last fall in the big
tent out here just before election. He
says that when you see fellow going
along with swell suit of clothes on
and a diamond ring and silk hat
and all that, costing a lot of money,
you say he's prosperous. see? But II
he's moochin' along with his toes out
and a bunged-up hat he amt pros
porous. That stuff he's got on doesn't
cost anything-you'v got to spend
money to have prosperity"
The motorman got up and stood by
the car door for q moment thinking
IL over.
Then I got to pay more for nv
coffee after this. Just to have IT said
that I'm prosperous; is that % he de-
manded.
That's about the size Of e."
well. it's a funny thing" said the
motorman. I'D rather use the extra
money TO go to a nickel show."-Chi-

There is incentive, too, in trying to
imagine how some other man would dJ
the same thing Suppose President
Taft could spare a day from the White
house and the oversight of this ma
ton TO DO your job, how would he ap-
proach it? What new ways and I'M
proved methods would he employ?
What kind Of a spirit would he show:
What would be his attitude to hts en-
ployers and the concern as a whole7
How would he deal with the problem?
This "other man" is not an impossl-
hilily or a myth. He may turn up any
day. and you would better anticipate
his coming by trying to do as wen as
he would in your place.
And the last and chief source Of
fresh courage for the same old Job"
is the consolation of being a soldier on
duty. Unless we get some serse Of the
control and guidance Of our life by
higher power we shall be apt once ard
again to recoil from the mouotony and
strain and irksomeness But suppose
you can say, God wants me here. He
put me here; for ell can see he wants
me and no one else here. When he
wants me elsewhere he will give me
release. I don't deserve promotion, I'M
less I have done my level best Just
here and now"-what a new phase that
puts on the old task! The great thao-
Logan, Nathaniel Bushnell, once
preached a sermon entitled, EVERY
Mans Life a Plan Of God" To fulfill
that plan is better than to get riches
or fame. and in the long run, in pro-
portion as we do our part toward it's
fllhllmens. we obtain eur greatest hap
piness.

THE RISE OF A LABoRER.

There are not many countries on
Harth in which a laborer in a few
years may grow into public service
and Craftsmanship. America still has
a few boys educating themselves as
Lincoln did and they are doing it just
ls thoroughly. This story comes from
Iowa:
A young man scarcely over 80 came
70 the Iowa legislature this year from
} town in an old Dutch settlement in
The northern part Of that state. Five
years ago that young man was a Ia
bo-er on his fathers farm. Today he
is a successful practicing lawyer, with
one Of the biggest practices in that
section. His father was an immigrant
to this country from Holland, and I'M
til FIVE years ago this boy titled the
acres on his fathers farm.
But he conserved his time and i'm.
proved his mind under the lamp light
In the old farm kitchen. He studied
law through a correspondence course.
During the summers he couldn't study
much and do justice to his job In
the course Of three or four years he
had mastered Sthe intricacies of the
laws of contracts, and torts, and per-
soral relations, and all the other
branches. He passed, with his self
education, one Of the best law exami-
nations ever turned in to an Iowa
examiner.
He was rather raw when he started
in his public career and was made
sport Of. No man in Iowa ridicules
him now when he Is addressing the
courts or the people, for he has over
come every obstacle, and he is popu-
larry talked Of as a candidate for con-
guess two years hence.
What boys have done boys can do.
The proper use Of spare time loyalty
to purpose and persistence spells
success for any boy who feels within
himself a worthy ambition.

MARYLANp,s WAY.

Maryland is not a rich state, but
for her RESOURCES she is doing more for
the public highways than almost any
of her sisters. In planning to spend
$4,000, 600 on them, it is provided that
the highway commission shall keep all
state highways reasonably free of
brush and otherwise in good condition,
plant shade trees If practicable. and
establish and maintain watering
troughs. A state that makes herself
attractive adds materially to her as
sets.-Providence Journal.
Maryland's way is a good way. A
state can look trim and clean as well
as a town, and it is a way of increas-
ing her population and incidentally
her wealth Her way provides for the
comfort and protection of man and
beast and it Is virtually a sign that
she has a special regard not only for
her own people but for every one who
travels through her territory. A great
deal is being said about advertising
cities at a great expense in money, but
the very best advertisement a COM
munity or a state can have results
from deeds. Maryland is doing things
to increase her attractiveness and her
fame.

Roosevelt made It plain that he did
not consider a horseback ride of SO

it simply to show a Mortified and pro-

Doubtless that 96-mile ride has since

Try it some day and approach the
old duty as though you had never seen
1t before, and see If 1t does not present
to you some new and inspiring aspects.
Or, we might think of the next daT
service as the last one we should ever
render. That might make things seem
a little solemn, to be sure. but it
would prevent us, perhaps. from care
less and slipshod work. from leaving
any raw edges for our successor to

Good advice: Live right up to your
highest and best. If you have made
mistakes in the past, reparation lies
not in regrets but in thankfulness that
you now know betterl" 1t will pay
YOU to remember this and profit by it.
This is the way to find joy in knowl-
edge. 1t is foolishness to be looking
back and repining. Letting hygones
be bygones is following in the path Of
light and wisdom. Our mistakes and
our WEAKNESSES are the output of ig-
norance. Knowing better IS doing
better and doing better Is the redemp-
ton Of the individual Let what We
are and what we are to become put
shame upon what we were.

Modern life presents no greater single

Modern lite presents no greater single
personal problem than that of secur-
ing an honest and cheerful measure OF
service on the part of the multitudes
to whom the progress and dlfferentia-
ton of industry has assigned relatively
small and mental tasks of a treadmill
character. The same personal prob
lem confronts even those who have
higher tasks and who do not have to
delve and grind in the midst Of material
things; but who, nevertheless, do not
esca pc that sense Of WEAKNESS because
of unyieldlng obstacles, cramping lin
itations. and only a moderate degree of
success when their ambition Is spur
ring them to larger achievements.
And so II becomes a very vital ques"
ton to all Of US, how can we face the
Same old job morning by morning
with new courage, initiative and hope?
First by looking at 1t as a new task.
That may seem altogether impossible.

stood behind the same counter for 10,
Is or 20 years; but 1t is within the
field OF the possible, provided one has
determination enough. for as Susan

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
"sAME OLD JOB"

Over the telephone the other day
asked a man whom had not seen fer
months what lie was doing. Same Old
Job" was the reply, and the tone as
well as the language indicated what he
thought Of 1t. 1t was not the note OF
disgust and open revolt, but rather
that Of grin and bear it, of patient
acquiescence In the inevitable, togeth-
err with the abandonment of hope that
things would ever better.
1t seemed as If the voices of multi
tudes were speaking over the wire. I
could hear the unvoiced complaint of
the man who opens and shuts a gate
all day long, the man who hands out
tickets through a window, the man who
delivers milk at the back door in the
gray Of the morning, the woman who
stitches away on garment, 1he wolu-
an who washes dishes, who mends the
children's garments, the woman who
attends 20 the fretful and demanding
babies. In fact, the whole multitude
of persons condemned to a single kind
of task. and that in itself terribly mo-
notonous, spoke in that one mans re-

1t is a fact that great men can get
along with a very few books. DR.. Eliot
who has just retired from the presi-
dencv Of Harvard. has said that he
could be satisfied with the books which
could be placed upon a five-foot shelf;
and Horace Greeley considered four
books sufficient for him-the Bible,
Shakespeare. a dictionary and an en-
cyclopedia. The ten best books would
go upon an Eliot five-foot shelf-it is
not what is in the books but what is
digested by the mind that counts A
great show of books may be an evil
dence of literary taste. but not neces-
sarilY of literary ability Of the owner.
IT is certainly a waste Of money to
have a great display Of unused books
the well thumbed books are the ones
which tel that someone has been busy

the most room.

ing Kid Sullivan of Washington. 1t was
a give-and-take affair from gong to gong
and the end found each boxer suffering
from bruises and weits, but still game.
Toward the finish of the contest the
southern boy was getting a little the bet
ter of it. but the early work of Madden
gave him an advantage in points which
Sullivan's later lighting could not entirely
cut down.
Madden started forcing the fight at the
outset and from then until the last bell
it was a smuggling bee for the spectators.
Sullivan scored first blood with left jabs
TO Madden's nose in the second round.
The third round was an even affair and
the fourth was the toughest eXhiblt1on or
the evening. Madden punched sullivan
almost at will. with rights to the jaw, but

Madden recovered and the fifth and
sixth rounds were his. the seventh ended
with Sullivan receiving a stiff right on
the jaw and in the eighth the Washing
ton boxer was easily outcasSed. Suili-

No application for racing dates from the
Maryland Jockey Club has as Vet been re-
ceived by the Jockey Club. Hitherto the
the season, and everything the club has
asked in the matter of dates has been
granted. The action of the Maryland club
has caused much gossip in racing circles
If the Maryland association goes ahead
with its race meeting without consulting
the Jockey Club the Maryland meeting is
likely to come under the head of an un-
organized one. Jockey Club men here
intimated yesterday that all horsemen
who race at Pimlico without a license
being granted would be ineligible to race
on regular Jockey Club tracks.
Some officials. however. do not lnlnk
this good time to enforce the rule or
the Jockey Club in the matter of unrecog-
nized meetings. II horsemen were TO race
at PimliCo and defy the Jockey Club $
authority and become outlawed the Cana
dian jockey clubs would PROBABLY stand
by the Jockey Club, though the Canadian
club evidently expects reciprocity, as some
horsemen. horses. trainers and jockeys
are already the disqualified list Tor

haf-mile track in Toronto.
In behalf of the Maryland Jockey Club
II Is pointed out that the powers or the
Jockey Club are limited only to the state
of New York, and no. over all race
courses in the north and east.
There were not enough members or the
Jockey Club present yesterday to form
quorum. hence the regular monthly meet
ing of the club was not held.
