The Thumb.

The dlsparagement of the usefulness
and Importance Of the thumb implied
In the expression, His fingers are all
thumbs" seems undeserved In view of
the important part the thumb formerly
played In the social customs OF the peo-
pie and the very important part 1t
plays In our own lives.
Lord Erskine. In his Institutes. :"
states that among certain OF the lower
ranks In Scotland the final settlement
OF bargain was always signalized by
the licking and Joining OF thumbs.
Selden, In Titles OF Honor" SAYS
that kissing the thumb was mark of
servility. The clergy. the rich and
the great, We're In receipt OF this honor
from their tradesmen.
From the remotest days OF Antiquity
the practice of licking the thumb has
been regarded as solemn pledge or
promise, existing. according to Tacitus
and other authorities, among the
Cloths. the Iberians and the Moors, and
1t may also be traced through success
sive periods down TO our own times

sFrLwELL.s.DREAM.

Our modern poet exhorts, do noble
things. not dream them an day long"
But II is always the dreamer who
docs great things. His dream Is neces-
sary to the progress OF the world, to
make the wheels go round.
Columbus dreamed of the land on
the other side and fouHd. it. Napoleon
dreamed OF empire and ton it. Sayo-
marcia dreamed OF reform and died for
1t. Lincoln dreamed OF q nation saved
and saved Ii.
1T must be so.
The dream must be a vision Of great.
er things. 1t must lure to brighter
worlds and point the way. And then
the dreamer must go out and make his
dream come true
The great dreamer writes the great
book, builds the impossible bridge over
the shasm, lays path for thought on
the bottom OF the sea, sends the mes
sage through the viewless air.
There was a man OF Kansas City.
whose name was Stilwe1l.
Stilwell dreamed a dream OF an air
line OF steel from the grainfeids OF the
middle west direct to the gulf. They
called 1t ''Stilwelis dream" The mon-
eycrats OF Wall street laughed at IL.
But
When the financiers OF this country
turned their back on Stilwelrs vision
OF direct communication with the gulf
he went to Holland and told his dream

The business man takes his business:

Is nervous breakdown.

Sleep is the one medicine in all the

MOTHERS OF GREAT MEN.

When you trace the beginnings of a
great man. behind him you Will find a
noble mother.
IL Is notable that great men seldom
have great sons. Is 1t because the
sons inheritance OF character is di.
vided by two? Unless he has a great
mother as well as great father the
son may Inherit but half his fathers
talent.
On the other hand, IL the son has a
great mother his Inheritance seems to
be multiplied by two. so equable are
the laws OF heredity.
Many great men have been the sons
OF weak or dissolute fathers. The
mother factor counted.
Note the Roman Gracchi.
The mother OF the Gracchi refused
the hand OF a king and the crown OF a
queen to devote herself TO her sons.
How great was her rewardi
The father OF Savonarola was a prof
ligate spendthrift.
But go back TO his mother. There
you find the nobility OF nature, the gu

preacher, reformer. statesman and
martyr.
Methodism came from Susan Wesley.
mother OF John and Charles.
The wide hipped physique and daunt-
less spirit OF Napoleon's mother made

Washington's greatness came from
his mother.
Had It not been for his remarkable

put into him the strong religious tend

-BE SOMEBODY

Most Of US go with the current be
cause 1t Is easier to drift than to take
up the oars and pull up stream.
Be somebody.
Most of us lack individualism, or, as
we usually put II, individuality.
Most OF us are prone to be content
with things as they are. We are con-
tent to be like other people. Conven-
tionality gets In the way of individ-
uality. What others do determines
what we do.
The person with individuality stands
out. looms large. There are so few
of him.
To cultivate your personality and
make II a force you must assert It,
You cannot do that by going along
the line OF least resistance. You must
often go along the line OF MOST re-
cause resistance overcome makes for
forceful character.
The tendency today is toward max
ing men alike, turning them out as II

Capitalization OF industry, combina-

Every man who has become some

upon relatives nor upon society nor

To be somebody one must be differ

There Is one grave danger In trying

souls are modest and helpful and

Remember. you are not asserting
yourself arrogantly over others. You
are asserting yourself over your
LOWER SELF, over your sublimal
self. You are making your HIGHER
SELF DOMINANT.
BE somebody-within yourself. OF
yourself. by yourself.
BE somebody-in your own soul.

WRECK OF THE REPUBLIC.

The unlucky liner Republic lies

10 SIT Stlll!'
He was bright little fellow OF some
three years and occupied a seat In the
passenger coach with his mother.
Fidgety and full of life, he was quiet
scarcely for a minute. At one instant
he would be down In the seat or under
IL. and the next his nose would be fat
tened against the window pane.
He was vigorous and curious.
He saw everything and everybody
and asked questions almost with the
rapidity OF a Calling gun. The mother.
trying to read. paid little attention to
his queries. He poked his fingers into
everything I'm reach. He wanted TO
know how things are made and why.
The boy COULDN'T keep still.
The little fellow wasn't built that
way. The journey grew tiresome, and
he was cooped In the seat, which effec-
tually barred any wide voyages OF dis
covery. Mind and body were excited.
He must have some sort OF safety
valve.
do You hear me. John? Keep stillv'
The restless kid paused for the frac-
ton of a minute, and then all the pent-
mp forces OF his nature broke over, like
the accumulated waters above a dam.
Again he was in perpetual motion. He
poised on the verge OF the seat back
and tumbled over IL into the lap OF
grouchy old maid
The mother threw down her book,
recovered her offspring, who was de-
lighted with his feat, and shook him
until he cried.
What was the matter with thu child !?
Nothing. probably, except superabun-
dant vitality. His mind was growing;
his sturdy little body was growing. 1t
was Inevitable that he should be on
the move. He was bundle OF vital,
wholesome activity.
III when he grew very restless the
mother had romped with her fine little
son he would have landed in sleep
much sooner and without the tears
That gemmed the long eyelashes and
the occasional sobs that interrupted the
slumber.
The boy just couldn't keep quiet save
when he was asleep.
OF course there are children who are
born fidgets" because there Is some
thing the matter with the little stom-
achs or the delicate nerves. They are
restless and fretful because OF some
disorder.
That Is case for the doctor.
But If the healthy child is to grow
and thrive it must have plenty Of exer-

should not be punished for what It
cannot help.

Again the financiers OF the country

ric. They said 1t was impractical and

Stilwell wanted to build a railroad
from Kansas City through old Mexico

has always been the benign one of
connecting the great granaries of the
west with tidewater. thus saving to

Stilwel got the money somehow, and
the Kansas City and Orient road is

THE GREAT CHESAPEAKE.

In the expansive language that is
sometimes used in describing the harbor
accommodations of a particular seaport,
1t Is remarked that 1.-THE navies Of the
world might be at one time fioated upon
the sheltered waters" There are very
few such sheltered waters, however,
that are in position to warrant their
use as a naval rendezvous or for inland
tactical purposes by a naval power,
The United States Navy possesses one
such rendezvous along the Atlantic
Coast that offords ample area, suffi-
eient depth and is ideally located for
naval uses. That sheltered water is
