ct which is making 500 miles a min

William, what ever made you think

A good prayer is that we may be
blind to the faults of others and be
wide awake to our own weaknesses
Then instead of thinking what a bad
neighbor we have we may find our
selves wondering if he really has a
good neighbor. Did you ever think
how rarely we hear anyone speak OF
the faultlessness of others? It has
been said that when a woman boasts
of a perfectly faultless husband it is
always safe to ask gently, How long
has he been dead?" By this SIGN il

bands, like the good Indians, are the

selves we should see that we are moi

IF man is the only creature that
laughs, why do we talk of the laughing
hyena and the laughing loon, or the
horse laugh? The laugh represents
surging emotions. perhaps, but have
often asked myself If there Is any,
thing so distinctive to mans haw-haw,
why the ass was set ever against him
with his he-haw! I never could an
swer this self imposed inquiry. There
are many kinds Of laughter. and per-
sons who lose control of their emo
tions sometimes laugh when they
should cry. A ringing laugh of joy
beats an ordinary laugh Of amusement
to death. laugh is sometimes con-
tagious and will spread faster than the
measles can: but it is OF short dura-
ton and in the concrete it is simply
representative of a merry soul. 1t is
a genial influence. but it is ephemeral
it lacks staying qualities.

When we see the we'll dressed chill
dren Of today on their way to school
we wonder what has become of the
boys who used to wear suits whitfield
out Of the clothes father used to wear.
There was a time, after the civil war,
when those old green-gray colored
overcoats dad wore on the Potomac
were made over and worn with pride
by at least two or three boys in the
family. The old clothes men got
mighty few bargains in those good old
DAYS when the least worn part Of dads
trousers used to be made into vests
and jackets, and when one pair Of
boots were expected to fit half the
family. Those growing boys were hap
py lads. if they did not look so slick
as the bows do now, and some Of them
have made great men. The boy who
gets into a family with a line of boys
ahead has a poor show even now for
new clothes. but he has got living
chance with all the rest of them, and
it is not so uncommon that he that
was last gets to be first.

We men expect our mates to take

while we decline to sift the ashes or

honest cooperation. The family upon
which the domestic harness sets COM

that gets on. Turning odds and ends

A great many refornrers would have
all men made after one model. If the
Almighty had wanted that kind Of
race He could have created it. There
is nothing that would be more dis
creditable to mankind than dead
level Man is warranted in abhorring
such a condition, just as nature is in
abhorring a vacuum. The man with
out talents or any marked ambition
is likely to find obscurity in the mass.
It is our peculiarities and distinctive
abilities which individualize us. It Is
the duty of every man to be true to
himself and to be loyal to his own con-
victions. He builds up his own Lam
ness by consciousness of his own abil-
ity-by faith in his own power. 1t is
differentiation that makes man inter-
esting. There are few duplicates in
nature. The average man is spoken
of bv statisticians. but the average
man is hard to find and when found
is not worth discovery. The man of
character and purpose-his own char
acter and purposes what the world
needs.

Once in a great while we have in
winter a. reign of Crystal, and then we
witness a sight which eXcels in its
glittering beauty the variegated hues
Of autumnal foliage. When the trees
and the shrubs are arrayed in jewels
and the whole landscape is a-glitter
with the shimmering colors of the
rainbow-when from the trees and the
shrubs flash the most beautiful greens
and reds under the suns magic touch,
then it is we realize that the jewels
in the crown of no earthly king COM
pare for brilliancy. for limpid splendor,
with these eVanescent creations OF
Cod The Crystal King divides hon
ors with no one when it comes to
clothing in pellucid beauty the COM
monest objects and imparting to them
the radiating quality of emeralds, car
buncles and diamonds. 1t is from such
scenes as these that the mind of man
has been able to imagine scenes in
fairyland-to dream of the delights of
Heaven.

THE MAN WHO IALkS

That is very old question of yours,
Jane: Where do 1 suppose Heaven
is? That inquiry was made and an
swered 1000 years ago by One who
said: THE kingdom of God is Wlthln
YOU; but His hearers did not under
stand. and most of the world has been
asking this question ever since. One
who writes better than l can says:
Heaven is here and now; Heaven is
a state, not a place. Heaven is in
getting there, not in being there. When
you see children building a sand cas-
tie on the beach you realize that. The
joy of digging and piling up the wet
sand into shape and form. is where
the joy comes. When the walls are
built and the meats are made and the
towers are up. and the whole thing is
finished, the JOY ceases. All you have
to do then is to wait for the tide to
come up and wash it away. Heaven
is in doing things. Earth is Heaven
when !ove is in the heart. When peo-
pie are only going to find Heaven aft
er they are dead, they have missed
the bust" The joy of doing is Heav-
en-, for from it only can come the
Joy of being. DO not expect to find
Heaven upon a map-it cannot be
charted

and vigorous pull at his dirty clay pipe

ants Of the Ghebers, the ancient fire
worshipers of Persia. The whole coun-
tryside is admirably adapted to the
propagation of fire worshiping creed,

fumes from subterranean confiagra-
lions abound In the neighborhood OF

caverns in the world is that Of Secun-

noxious fumes, which at certain times
are certain death to man and beast.
But the most astonishing place in
Azerbaijan is the ruined city of Takht-

city stands on a hill $50 feet high, with
a wall of thirty feet embracing the
crumbling remains of temple and
shrine. In the midst is flake of

buildings are of the Mohammedan Pc
riod, there is one striking mass which
has been identified as the temple OF
the fire worshipers.

turles from primal man, survives
throughout all the adyancemcnts Of

Indeed, II is not too much to as
