having penetrated the Grand Canyon
from end to end, and completed the
longest trip ever made over the turbu
lent Colorado river, Julius F. Stone,
president of the Central National
bank of Columbus, Ohio, and a party

The party started September II, and

Just Pleasantness.

Perhaps just pleasantness has not a
very heroic sound, but the human
heart that, knowing its own bitterness,
car yet carry itself cheerfully is not
without heroism. Indeed. II that hui
man heart does no more than hold
its tongue about its own aches and
pains it has a certain moral value that
the world cannot afford to lose. "Pleas.

self sacrifice or wisdom or spiritual
ity, but it may include all these great
words. And certainly just to start

PLoRER AND THOSE EXPLOITS WHICH CALL FOR INDoMITAsLE
WILL, GRIT, COURAGE AND PERSEVERANCE, WILL FOREVER
HOLD THEIR PEACE. DR.. COOK is A LIVING PROOF THAT SUCH
CLAIMS ARE ALL CANT.
All this talk about the country bred boy and what he alone can

pe of this falacy than in DR.. Cook? What was his youth, and where
was it spent? As a child in New York he INDUCED in the pastmes

Take the history of the worlds battles and trace the movements

to the present time were ALWAYS IN THE THICKEST OF
THE BATTLES and that they could march their country cousins
off their feet. One hears much about the rough riders, if you care

How Spiders Undress.

1t is an interesting sight indeed to
watch a spider change its skin and
n that will we'll repay any one for
the time taken up by waiting for the
little known-generally speaking
event to take place. When preparing
for the change the spider stops eating
for several days and makes his pre-
liminary arrangements by fastening
himself by a short thread Of web to
one Of the main lines of his snare, this
to hold him firmly while he proceeds
to undress. First the skin cracks all
round the thorax, being held only by
the fore part. Next the lower part of
the body is uncovered, and then comes
the struggle to free the legs. He
works and kicks vigorously, seeming
to have a very hard time Of 1t. Fiji
teen minutes Of continued persever-
ance, however, brings him out Of his
old dress, the struggle causing him to
appear limp. and lifeless for some time
after it is finished.

Hard Work Is Best
Equipment For Success

BY JOSEPH R PARROT. President II h Florida East coast Railroad.
rs all we'll enough to fix your eyes on some distant goal with
the determination to reach it. That may help some if one has
~ the GRIT TO STICK TO IT and not be discouraged
when the goal seems to get farther and farther away instead
of nearer. Anyhow, it does no harm-in a boy. But in a young man
who has achieved the serious responsibility of a job it's MUCH
MORE IMPORTANT TO DO A DAYS WORK or a little
more every day than it is to think about some ambition that may be
realized years in the future.
~ 1T is THE YOUNG MAN WHO KEEPS UP WITH THE BOSS OR
A LITTLE AHEAD OF HIM WHO WINS OUT IN THE END. THE
SNOWY QUALITIES OF THE "BRlLLANT" YOUNG MAN HAVEN'T
MUCH CHANCE AGAINST THE STEADY PLUGGING OF THE HARD
WORKER UNDER MODERN CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS.
That's the best general recipe for success that 1 know-HARD
WORK AND A STEADY PACE. Next to that I should say that
this is the DAY OF THE SPECIALIST in every line of en-
deavor. The man who knows one thing better than any one else is
pretty sure to win out in his particular line.
1T is ALL RIGHT FOR THE BOY TO DREAM AFTER HIS
CHORES ARE DoNE-HELL DO IT ANYWAY-BUT WHEN HE HAS
GROWN UP AND HAS CONNECTED WITH A JOB IT Is TIME &c
CUT OUT THE DREAMS AND GET DOWN TO TAcks.

Girls should be taught that the masculine defender is not always

If women knew a little more about the art Of self defense our

Comparatively few men are low and brutal enough to beat a woman
when sober, and if the wives of these whisky maddened towards were
not held back by a FALSE IDEA OF THEIR PHYSICAL
HELPLESSNESS they would need no appeal to the courts.
I believe that the most puny and understood woman by a course O
athletics combined with boxing CAN DEVELOP HERSELF sc
THAT SHE WILL BE ABLE TO DEFEND HERSELF agains
