He bewails the tendency of the times to
make the nobility pay its fair share of
the taxes and especially complains of
the income tax which the new budget
imposes on vast inherited properties.
This silly scion of the house of Marl

to take care of his property and would
throw himself out of the window but for
the brutal Inheritance tax, which would
rob his son. the dukelet.
In other words, he is tired of living be-
cause he has to pay taxes on his income.

has started on her tour of the world, one
of the most distinguished women In the
world of education.
How did she do it?
Just as any man would succeed along
the same line-by ability for study ana
determination to win.
Thanks to our coeducational system
a system less than 30. years old-this
girl had the same chance to educate her
self as any boy.
And she relied on herself.
That tells the story. You can educate
yourself only by yourself, Of yourself
and for yourself.
Modern psychology has revealed the
wondrous possibilities of the human VIII.
The desire to do persistently kept, backed
by the will to do, gives the power to DO.
Miracles aside, the mysterious and won
derful power within you can do anything
you want to do.
It is the power within, mind you not
without.
And Just here is the mistake OF the
girl or boy who says: 1T have no chance.
There is no one to help me-"
Mabel Sturtevant had no better oppor-
tunity than other girls of poor parentage.
She had no one to help her.
She helped herself
And that is what you must do, my girl
or boy. The best any one can do for
you is to help you to help yourself.
The power is within.

Luck or Pluck?
II C. GIBSON is his name.
He was a common laborer. with
IA no ambition except to draw his
wages and spend the money.
One day a railway train came along
and cut off both his legs close to his
body. 1t is intimated, though not proved
that Gibson had looked upon the wine
when it was red to such an extent that
he failed to see the train when he came
up to 1t.
However that may be, ne was dis
charged from the hospital without money,
without friends and without legs.
It was generally supposed that Gibson
would be a beggar or become a public
charge.
. But 1t soon was proved that if he lacked
legs he had plenty of nerve, an asset
having which no man is bankrupt.
What do you suppose this H. c. Gibson.
penniless, friendless and legless, started
to do-sell lead pencils on the street? He
started in to learn the bricklayer's trade.
He put a sort of tricycle. under him in
lieu of legs and, rolling along a scat
fold by the side of brick wall, soon
was able to cry out to the hodcarriers
More mort'P' along with the best OF
them.
People began to have a sincere respect
for what was left of Gibson.
And he on his part began to study the
statutes of the state OF Virginia. Then
he ran-or roled-for justice of the peace.
He was elected, made a SUCCESSFUL magis-
trate and was reelected.
And now he is on wheels for sheriff of
the county.
They say he has good chance for the
office, He has won the regard of the
people for his grit and Is esteemed as
one of the best citizens of the commun-
itv. The salary and fees are good, and
Gibson will be able to go out of office
we'll fixed financially.
Mr. Man
Have YOU brooded over your hard luck2
Have you felt that you were handicapped
by lack of education or opportunity
Contemplate the career of legless GID
son and be ashamed.
Gibson won by pluck and in spite OF
luck.
Indeed
His bad luck was a big blessing in
disguise If he had kept his legs he
would today be a common laborer-or

The power Within.

Tired of the stories of successful men?
Well, here is the outline of one about
a successful girl.
Ten years ago Mabel Sturtevant OF
Brookfeld, Mo-, was an ordinary school
girl of 16.
That is to say, she was In appearance
an average girl of rather poor farmer
folks. But she had tremendous desire
to make something of herself.
Largely by her own efforts she went
through the University Of Missouri WIN
ming all sorts Of prizes for scholarship:
by the way. She also studied law and
was admit to the bar.
Which attainments would satisfy most
girls desiring to distinguish themselves:
But last year Ma\el Sturtevant won the
browning triumph. She was awarded tne
Braun prize as the best student OF tns
universities Of America and europe. =.
Won by a girl mind you, "seif-made'

ing the educational systems of the world.

He is the only person in all the

the latter was so stunned by the STU

could only raise this hands skyward to
exclaim:
Superb! Magnifiquer'
Whereupon with skilled fingers of
art the jeweler set little gold plate
under the little finger nail of M. Du-
puts left hand, and then he mounted
a three carat blue white diamond on a
little screw that penetrated the END
of the finger nail and caught, the
threads in. the little gold plate.

A great many people who have trifled with indigestion, have been sorry for it--when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it.

 Everyone is subject to indiges- ton. Stomach delangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol.

Reports That Canadian Pacific
Machinists Will Cease Work

WINNIPEG, Man, March 3d.
Alarming reports are current here that
another big strike Of machinists on the
Canadian Pacific railway is imminent.
The company, it is alleged, refuses to
negotiate jointly with the men on the
eastern and western systems, and as
that is strongly favored by the men a
deadlock has been reached in the nego-
tiations.
Last night more delegates arrived
from far eastern and western points,
and Grant Hall, head of the mechanical
department in the west for the COM
pany, who was summoned to Montreal
a few days ago. wired last night very
discouraging telegram.
The present schedule expires in a
few days and new one must be at
once agreed upon. II the men strike
.his time they will have the backing
of the American federation of labor,
with whom they are affiliated About
$4,000 men will be involved, from
Moncton. N. B., to Vancouver, B. C.
