SHOW HATRED OF FOREIGNERS.
Chinese Historical Plays That Keep
Alive Race Prejudice.

Historical plays are acted every
where in China. They are popular in
the quiet villages, the homes of the
rich, In the crowded cities, and in the
busy market towns. These plays are
written with the object of intensity
ing the bitterness and contempt of the
people against the foreigner. The
story of plunderings and massacres of
their forefathers is vividly portrayed,
with all the dramatic power that the
actors possess. The foreigner is rep
resented as a monster in appearance.
His face is dragged out OF shape and
his mouth is made to appear near his
ear. His beard on one side is red and
on the other blue. His eyes are fierce
and staring, and murder is stamped
upon his hideous features. The peo-
pie of the interior, who have never
come into actual contact with the for
eigner, have this conception of the
hated barbarian. To their minds
Americans, French, English, Germans
are all alike, barbarians to be de-
stroyed.

The Power of Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is one magnet of power.
You must fire every event with it,
touch thoughts and acts with it; it will
transmute dross into gold, drudgery
into delight. What matters If the soul
which lives beside you is cold and
selfish. Set him a good example! Joy
is sunshine and he will feel it. Every
irksome task is chance for power.
For the qualities which they bring out
are Gods gifts which fit us to enjoy
better things. Easy things will come
If you have spent your hearts blood
on gaining strength, for the very goal
of power is the ease which comes from
strength. We laugh at things and peo
Pile who used to cow or annoy US, we
do gracefully and swiftly the tasks
once so hard. One by one, we have
unriveted our chains, we are free!-

TO HESITATE LONG is TO FAIL
Successful Business Man Must Have
Attribute Of Courage.

Many man fails because he does
not dare to take risks, to take the
initiative
When do yoH expect to do anything
distinctive in lie? When do you ex

mediocrity? The men who do original
things are fearle;s There is a lot oil
dare in their makeup, a great deal OF
boldness. They are not afraid to take
chances, to shoulder responsibility, ia
endure Inconvenience and privation.
There never was a time when the
quality of courage was so absolutely
indispensable in the business world
as 1t is to-day. 1t does not matter
how many success qualities you pos
sess, young man, if you lack courage
you will never get anywhere. Not
even honesty or perseverance will
take its place. There is no substi

1t does not matter how well edu
Gated you may be, or how good train
