In His Own State.

Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island does
not appear to be so well known by
President Taft as he is by the people
of his own state. For instance, the
Providence Journel. one of the best
known newspapers in the state, thus
replies to the endorsements recently
given Aldrich by Taft:
when Mr.. Taft credits Mr.. Aldrich
with an earnest desire TO aid the peo-
pie, he attributes to him benevolence
which even the people of his own state
have not known him to possess.
A senator may be without honor in
his own state for various reasons, but
it is reasonable to assume that Aid
rich would attract little attention and
have little power in the senate were
it not for his alliance with the Rookie
fellcr family by marriage.
The people of Rhode Island must be
very stupid indeed that they cannot
detect in their senator's record any
such benevolent purpose as the presi-
dent attributes to him. or else Mr..
Taft does not know Aldrich as well as
his constituents know him.

replaced them lovingly on the counter.
Then very carefully she pinned the

Good Advice.

| There is considerable good advice to
be found in the following suggestions
made by Jerome P. Fleishman in the
souri, Pacific-Iron Mountain railroad
SYSTEM:
Have faith in yourself, young man.
What others can do, you can do, if
you make up your mind that you can.
Don't imagine that the other fellow
| is superior creature, and that you
have got to step aside and let him pass
| you on the road TO success.
Ten chances to one the other fellow
is putting 4 mental premium on your
ability, and classifying you as a better
man than he is.
That's the way of the world. When
you and l were boys, the other boys
apples were always the biggest and
the sweetest, weren't they?
No. they were not.
But we imagined they were, ard that
settled it.
And now that we are classed among
the grown-ups, the other grown-ups are
better off than we are-abler intel-
|lectually, physically. resourcefulIy.
That is, we think they are.
So have faith in yourself Believe in
yourself Trust yourself Rely on
yourself Anyway, you are as good as
the next man - and, perhaps, very
much better.
Don't get the idea into your head
that all of the worthwhile things in
the world are beyond you. They are
not But they will be until you bring
can size up your own powers and abil-
tiles and know yourself.
Then, when you have found your real
self-when you have learned that diff
ficulties are difficulties only so long as
we view them as such-you will con
currently come into an abiding faith
in your own ability to dare and do
But first of ALL you must have faith
in yourself.
Where many a man has failed is in
lack of self-cOnfidenCc. Success re
quires ambition, capacity. energy, in
tellect, and the great essential-deter-
minatiOn. And as you go forward and
win new victories, you will be surpris-
ed how little the fellow ahead OF you,
whom you feared. really knows.
Don't lose confidence in your own
ability. That is fundamental to sue
cess. And it is equally important that
you not confuse self-confidence and
gall The former is a virtue; the lat
ter a serious fault
Cultivate the virtue.

That IL would cause a line OF speech
That sounds some like swearing
For in the breezes lightly swayed.
1t sits abroad its pollen,
And there are many tales Of woe,
And eyes are red and swollen,
And the afflicted can but fee

Where blossoms that are not so rude
In autumn days keep cases.

transportation. just as the automobile

Everything indicates that the day of

financial schemes is at hand
ed to think that the department of ag-
rieUlture, which has grown under his
supervision until it now calls for not
far from dozen millions of the pub
lie funds annually, spends a. good deal
of cash unnecessarily in sending out
documents by the ton which few per-
sons care to read, and in publishing
the reports of fadGists about matters
OF slight earthly concern. On the 9TH
CT hand, there is no doubt that this di-
vision of the government. with all its
defects and redundancies in pubIica-
ton, has rendered valuable service to
the men who grow American wheat,
corn, potatoes and cattle through the
practical information it has afforded on
hundreds of subjects. and the enlight-
eninS experiments it has conducted at
the stations it has established.
At least this is what the farmers
themselves seem to think, and while
that is the case Secretary Wilson may
perhaps be sure of his job so long as
he cares to hold it. For although the
man behind the pillow is one of the ia
vorite topics of the humOrists, those
individuals who essay to guide the deS-

become a mighty important factor in
politics if he should once be thorough

Secretary WiIson,s Job.

Once more the rumOr has gone forth
that Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
was about to resign; and once more
that still vigorous champion, counselor
and friend of the American farmer
has denied the report. AS a hardy
perennial i'll the ranks James Wilson
is entitled to distinction in an era of
rapid cabinet changes. Entering the
cabinet of Mckinley IL years ago last
March, Secretary Wilson has occupied
the same position under three sue
cessive presidents. With not much re-
pute as politician, he has been the
target of many assaults. But if he has
failed to play part as leader, Uncle
Jimmy" as he is sometimes called in
the departments at Washington. has
steadfastly persisted in regarding as
his real constituents all the farmers of
the United States. whether they were
republicans or democrats. One of the
results is seen in the lively objections
which these have made whenever it
has been suggested that rotation in
office was an excellent thing and that
Mr. Wilson should step out and make
room for somebody else.
Most impartial observers are dispos-

than Il student. Eut the fact WAS that
Molly Dodge really was Il poor south
crn girl working her way through the
wOman's department Of this big uni
verSity
During the three or four hours that
Molly was not attending lectures she
had 10 stay III the stone hoorcd locker
lined Cioakr0om and be ready at an.
time to get students hats ana coats or
put them away in their owners lock

1t first it had seemed not at all bad.
for Molly had Il soft. loyabie, southern

that made all the girls like her. Eut Is
the months passed they became accus-
toned To seeing her every Gay. I'd
they passed her th0uGntlcs$ly by. II
wculd not have been 50 hard if Molly
had been intellectual. but she was not
at all fond OF books. IN fact, if sle
had had chance she would probably
have been q little frivolous.
But there were two things that made
Molly's life bearablc. one WAS the
daily visit of the university porter, and
the other was tie appearance now and
then of new and pretty hats and
wraps. Molly had little mirror over

ever any specially charming hat ap-
pcarcd on the clothing counter she
would wait till the girls had left the
room and then with it ON her own pref

herself over her desk.
And the porter. Well, he used to
come over from the university every
day with the students mail, which it
was Moliy'S duty % sort and diStrib-
ute. OF course Il woman student of
Thornby college ought not to have
flirtcd with so humble parsonage as
the university porter, but Molly was
only half student. The half that was

impotence to the daily visitation of
the portcrs cheerful smile ana conta-

On rainy days Molly had to handle

Disciples of Christ. Today thousands
of these Disciples invade Greater Pitts

the centennial. 1t is estimated that
before Saturday the day of the actual
centennial celebration. $4,000 members
of the denomination will have reached
