TALKS OF HEROES

"A True Hero" was the subject OF an
address IN Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church, Concord avenue and Madison
street, last night by the Rev. Or. A.

Wesley NJ. y. Church, Dover. Dr. Light
bourne said in part;
"Heroism is not mere brute courage,
which may be the same IN the dueliist
and the warrior. IL does not depend
upon physician organization. That
young man is O hero who viii not lie to

THE SECRET.
Does the world owe a man n living
Yes-and no.
1t owes him a chance TO earn liv-
ing, and. having given him the chance,
he owes the world the service neces-
sary to earn his living
1t was said IN the beginning that a
man must earn his bread by the sweat
OF his brow, not by the sweat Of some
other mans brow.
But some men eat bread FOR which
no sweat has been expended.
And that is not the worst Of t.
There are those who steal another
mans opportunity TO earn bread and
by so doing steal the bread out Of that
mans mouth.
But thank goodness, few men are en-.
tirely denied the chance 70 sweat 70;
their bread What pinches most OF
US is this:
We are crowded out Of our oppor-
tunlty to do what we would like Ia
do. We are forced 10 take up an un-
| congenial task. We are willing q
work, but we want TO select the job.
Well, IL is rather pitiful, but
We cannot all Of us be awarded the
task we prefer We may theorize and
deelaim on what society ought 10 be
and ought to do. but after all oui
theories we must face things as they
are and make the best of them.
Some philosophers say the secret OF
human happiness is only TO be found
in the doing of the work one most de
sires to do.
That IS TO be doubted.
Happiness may be found that way
other things being equal, for it is un
deniable there IS a certain Joy in q
chosen task.
But there is another way In which
happiness may be found-comparativ'
happiness, for all happiness is com
parative-and II is n deeper happiness
than the mere JOY OF congenial labors
That way IS TO do what thy hand
fndeth to do-do II cheerfully anl
heartily, and be Herewith content.
All. my friend. II you are bravel.
doing the task that is next TO you
denying yourself, sacrificing yourself
and II you are well satisfied to do tina
task manfully, ungrudingly. until yo
can do better. you have got close (
the secret.
IL Is a mighty poor philosophy this
comforts only the man who gets every
thing he wishes for.

They gave him the pistol.
And at 4 o'clock, when he went
on duty, knowing that, accidents
barred, he would be alone till 6,
he gripped the pistol In his hand
and entered, his brain whirling
with the vodka he had drunk to
kindle his courage.
Straight through the corridor
he passed till a blank wall con-
| fronted him. He turned-and all
at once he saw the Little Father
in q chamber at the far end,
seated at table drinking his tea.
l'fhe car raised his head. He
raised his hand. There was a
pistol In it. He stopped and
houched a bulb.
And suddenly twenty czars ap-
peared. each with a pistol and
twenty Breshkys, also with pistols
and red eyes and furious counter
4nces. Breshky rushed at the
nearest car and fired. The bull
let splintered on the plate glass.
/ But there, all around him, were
the nineteen other czars, watch
ing him, each with a leveled pis-
toll.
Now, like wild beast, Breshky
dashed hither and thither, firing
furiously as he ran. On all sides
he encountered himself. He
slipped and crashed through the
mirrors. and the long splinters cut
jagged stabs in his face and hands.
i No longer could he find entrance
| or exit-only everywhere were the
same calm czar and the same in
furiated Breshky. And ever the
cars sat with leyeled pistols,
while Breshky. roaring like wild
bull. slipped helplessly from one
glass to another, never finding
that maze of true passage which
led to the room in which sat the
calm little man. His ammunition
was exhausted. He flung the pis-
tol at the cars head. Again a
mirror crashed.
And suddenly the vodka went
out of Breshky's head. He knelt
down among the splinters.
Let me die now" he whim-
lpered.
On every side car 1eveled his
pistol at Breshky's head. Suddenly
he heard the trigger snap. Ane
at the same instant. plunging for
ward. Breshky fell, his blood dye
ling the floor.
The bullet had found its mark.

GRANDPA's PRESENT

Grandpa Thomas had just come
to visit at Archie's home, and
brought him q present of pretty
pair of brown gloves with cuffs of
soft velvety fur.
CHOW that is real beaver fur, T"
said grandpa, land you must be
careful not to lose Them" In an
swer to Arches question, What
is beaver fur?" his grandfather
sat down, took him on his knee
and told him this story:
"They are little animals that
live beside the lakes and rivers
in the wild northern country. They
are reddish-brown in color; some
time yellowish brown like the fur
on your gloves. They are not so
very large, but oh! they have the
sharpest hearing even If their ears
are tiny. l suppose their ears
have to make up for their poor
eyesight, for I'm told they are very
nearsighted. And Just wish you
could see their tails! Instead of
being round, woody and shaggy
like your dog Dukes, they are
shaped just like a big flat paddle.
When Mr.. Beaver is swimming
that is Just what he used it for
an oar with which to paddle
himself about.
"He is a sociable little fellow,
living in small villages with his
own relatives. After Mr.. and Mrs.
Beaver and their relations have
|ehosen a nice little river where
they want to live and rest through
the winter, they go UP stream till
they find small tree whose trunk
they gnaw through with their
sharp little teeth. Then the tree
falls and floats down to the place
they want to live. Here they make
a dam of mud and sticks and COM
mence to build their small cone
shaped houses in the water near
1.-THE shore.
"They carry the sticks and
grasses for these houses between
their chins and front paws, put
ting them into position with their
front feet. This finished, they
turn about and give them a hard
slap with their tails to make them
