What shall 1t profit girl Ii she buys
a prince for a husband and loses her
life's happiness?
Or
If you pay million dollars for q
husband who is not worth 30 cents
how much do you lose?
Miss Anita Stewart of New York is
facing these two problems in agree
ing to marry Prince Miguel Braganza
the son of the pretender to the throne
Of Portugal.
Prince Miguel is no saint. He has
long record of eseapades, is deeply
In debt, has been ousted from his clubs
and dishonorably discharged from the
army.
To be the mate of this scapegracP
and TO bear the title Of princess Miss
Stewart will settle on Miguel fine sum
of 81 100000.
Or. to put II precisely. the girls
foolish mother will pay the money.
The mother inherited millions from
the late eccentric "Sflent" Smith.
And this Is a brief history of the
family into which the Silly Miss Stew
art will enter:
The Braganza family was founded
BY Don Miguel who usurped the
| throne In 1928 He was appointed
regent during the babyhood Of bis
niece. who was to be queen-that is e
say. he stole the crown from a baby
| Revolutionists backed by the powers
ousted him. 1t was shown that he had
no claim whatever, having been borr
three years after his mother, Queer
Carlotta, had been separated from hel
husband, King John.
A pretty heritage indeed.
Since the time of the founder thu
family has loafed around Europe. ex
| plotting its so called claims and look
ing for rich girls to marry its sons,
And for this empty title and this
pseudo prince an American mother
will consign her daughter to the EN-
braces of notorious rake and give
him 100000 with which to ruin him
self
Could folly further go?
Why should any woman in this coun
try of ours where every woman ma!
be a queen and have for consort ;
royal king of men-why should mn,
woman American born and bred stool
from her high position to take up wit
titled debauches or scrofulous degen
crates of ignoble sires simply for
title?
Not for happiness certainly.
Even when an American girl marie

takes a tremendous risk Of happiness

THE ToP STORY.

Darwin tells us that In early life
he was fond of music and poetry. es.
pecially Shakespeare.
But he did not cultivate this appre-
citation He concentrated all his pow
ers on the study of nature and finally
lost his taste for music and harmony.
In his later life he expressed his re
gret that this was so.
He had become calloused. There
was nothing in his soul to respond to
the appeal
Which fact contains lesson.
One may harden his soul against
the best things of life by giving his
entire attention to other things.
For instance
One may become absorbed wholly in
making money and thus leave neglect
| ed his highest thoughts and noblest
| emotions He who does this does not
deliberately choose to shut the door
on his diviner side. He neglects to
cultivate the noblest things. By and
by they make no appeal to him. His
tastes have changed.
Also
a woman may give her days and
nights to social diversions so com.
| pletely as TO take all her time aud
energies. She does not purposeiy
| choose to forget the better side OF
life. She simply neglects to cultivate
that side of herself. After time she
| no longer responds to the appeal OF
the higher influences. She becomes
sordid, indurated, calloused.
II we are to be the best and do The
| best we must think the best, feel the
best, act the best.
ANY other kind of living has its
| dangers.
i The man or woman who falls ant
fails under some temptation is no
suddenly corrupted. The character has
become slowly weakened by the shut
ting out of good influences. The bes
has lost its appeal.
Do not think lightly of these facts.
| Some day an important choice ma!
come to you. or critical temptation
may lure You. or n great crisis appear
In that time you may find that yol
are not mornilr strong enough to NEE
the sudden call.
| You have not lived in such a wa
as to make the right choice, put dow

NOTHING IS LOST.

1t is conSoiing to believe that n0tn-
inc in all the universe is ever lost.
Science shows that not Il particle OF
matter can be lost. The form OF il eau
be changed: that is all. You cannot
possibly destroy the most intintteSlmai
fragment of an atom.
Matter. 50 far as science knows, Is
immortal.
If nothing of matter can be lost.
what shall be said of the soul, which
shapes, controls, rules matter: Is it
fair to reason that the lesser shall live
and the greater die?
Men are born They live, sleep.
struggle, sorrow, enjoy, die. They live
on the fruits of the field. and when
they die the latter live on their bodies
and so the endless chain of being
and dying,
How will you give significance to
their lives except that nothing of those
lives is ever lost?
The ant does not understand the
meaning Of its life, but it is always
busy filling the purpose for which it is
L
significance of its being, but it goes on
working out it's little cell with infinite
integrity, and the beehive Is the re-
suit. No individual effort of ant or bee
is lost in the outcome of the scheme.
Man is more than ant or bee.
The coral insect is born. lives little.
dies aud leaves it's tiny bones What
| is the purpose Of that frail life? The
| purpose appears in the coral reefs that
| lift themselves above the waves. No
single effort of one small creature is
| lost.
Man is more than a coral insect or
ant or bee. But how more?
Ii man Is merely animal he is no
more. Take, for Instance, the deffni-
| ton that some economists make of civ
| ilization They say civilization con
sists in the organization of industry,
the accumulation of wealth. the thrift
of the people
/ Nonsense,
The ants and bees organize industry,
accumulate wealth and are thrifty
/ An ant hill is better organized and
governed than any city on earth.
Man is soul,
And If nothing is ever lost. and /!
! there is a great purpose running
through his creation. then every noble
act of mans soul is gathered up and
woven somehow into the final, issue
of all things. Is 1t not SO?
Let us believe this to be true, even
If we cannot prove it-save by anal
ogy.
Because
Then whatever we do or say OF
think or feel has significance and
meaning. We are the answer to thf
"why' of our existence. We are con
tributing. to some ''farotf, divine
event" We are factors in the eternal
outcome. We are part and parcel OF
all. We may be kin to the clod. but
we are also workers with God.
These are big thoughts, but we mus
/ think them sometimes.

INCRATITUDE TO PARENTS.

A correspondent tells ptiful story
of an aged mother who reared twelve
children. all of whom are prosperous.
The mother is now very poor, and none
of the children will take her to his
lhome.
Stories OF this kind are too frequent.
The writer knows q sad case of an
old mother who was permitted by
prosperous sons to go to the poor
house because their families were
ashamed of the poor old lady.
Ingratitude to parents is crying
evil
We say the civilization of the Chi
nese is inferior, and we send mission
aries to them, but the respect and ven
eerafs0n paid to parents by the Chinese

parents is the most sacsed Of all hu

WHAT as YOUR LIFE WORTH

Yorfgrg man. what are you worth?
IF sou should die. how much would
tshe world lose by your death?
OF course if you should die the com
sgnunity would deplore the death of
"a promising young man. the hope
of bis friends" etc. | do not mean
shis sort of loss.
How much is your life worth in
cash?
Experts have figured II all out Ac-
Cort1ing II statistics. the life of labor
ing man who earns an average wage
of $3.50 per day at the age of thirty
that is, when laborer is most valu-
;abIe-is worth the sum of $3,217.O3.
That is to say. when laboring man
dies at the age of thirty years society
loses S321TO3 of its economic capital
The professional man or the special
list, however. is most useful at the
age of forty years.
When man who is equipped to
serve the world in these lines dies at
the age of forty the loss to society is
greater. According to the estimate
there is an economic loss of $13,2014S.
Besides
The value to the world Of the labor
Ing man grows less after he reaches
the age of thirty years. The value of
the professional man or specialist, on
the other hand remains about the
same until he is fifty years of age.
After fifty hi@Talue grows less.
TO illustrate
Take the laboring man at the age
of sixty-five. His value to society is
small From being worth $3,217.03 1T
thirty his value has decreased until
he is worth only $594.G7.
But the specialist is still quite valu-
able at sixty-hye. He is worth almost
lalf as much as he was at forty or. to
give the figures, S13.2074S.
OF course you understand, these fg-
ures are Of averages and do not gov
ern individual cases.
But they are startingly blunt.
They show from new angle how
education in a speciality increases the
value of q young mans life-twenty
Eimesi
You are worth in hard cash at the
age of forty from your shoulders
down 5000, but you are worth from
your shoulders up $4,000.
When | speak of special education
do not necessarily mean college educa.
ton. The specially may be that of q
breeder or an inventor as we'll as that
of doctor or a lawyer.
Therefore
The way TO make yourself more val
uable to the world. to your friends
TO yourself. is to educate yourself tc
do something better than the average
man can do it.
For the world of today Ia asking not
10 much
What do you know?
1t is asking more than all else
What can you DO?
