w ELL governed self-reliance is a
w most caluable asset.
W But don't make the mistake Of
putting conceit in the self-reliance
column.
Conceit is the child of ignorance;
self-reliance is the healthy offspring or
well grounded confidence in ones
ability to accomplish.
Justifable self-conf1dence is always
the result of preparation. He who Is
well equipped has reason to feel pride
and an assurance in his ability to
achieve. q,
"OnIy out of certainty comes power, >"
says Philips Brooks.
What show has the child who at 10
or 12 years of age is taken from his
school work to face life and fight his
battles against hopeless odds?
He cannot be self-reliant, for he must
meet with experience daily that dem
onstrate his deficiencies.
If that youth is self-satisfied it is the
satisfaction born of shallow concert. IL
only tends to make him the less cap
able.
No work can be well done without
paration-without materials.
No man can accomplish worth
whiles" without a reasonable equip
ment-without training and some
knowledge of his subject.
John Locke, looming big above MS
prosecutors, never for an instant lost
sight of the fact that he knew he was
right. 1t was not the congratulatory
assurance of an ignorant man buoyed
up by his own vanity.
When Ulysses S. Grant assumed con-
troll Of the armies of the north he did
so with a self-reliance that was sub
lime. He knew that he knew more than

WHAT SHE WEARS

After all, what is the use of all this
agony about the fashion?
It is rather a pity in some ways to
see women expend such vast quantities
of effort to be in style, when such
eminently satisfactory results can be
obtained with so much less of that par
ticular kind of effort. So much is ex-
pressed in the words "daintiness and
taste that, especially during the sum
mer months, when so little else is
really essential 1t seems pity to
waste so much effort on the craze for
style.
If a woman only believed so, she
could afford to stop with merely being
called dainty, instead of pressing on to
win the epithet stylish" There is
more real charm in a freshly laundered
blouse of fine batiste, plainly tucked.
and a perfectly plain white skirt which
is clean and perfect in fit than there
is in a whole wardrobe of frumpy look
ing linen gowns, tortured with inser-
ton, embroidery and lace.

THE CHILD

take his little hand and go
Down to the pastures green
THE babbIing brooks and waters stlll'
with meadows stretched between.
take his little hand and go
Beyond the citys roar,
To walk amid the perfect peace
Within the greenwood door
His little hand, his little voice,
His sweet companioship
OF heart and hope and innocence
The rosebud OF his lip
To fare amid the sun and flowers,
And climb the green-clad hill'
He leadeth me to pastures new
And by the waters still.
sweeter shall my communion be
Beneath the happy skies
lust for his little hand to hold,
The wonder of his eyes;
The marvel Of his childhood cheer
When all the lanes are bright,
And now the robin, now the lark,
Flash wings against the light
into the hills shall ascend,
The gates shall lift their heads
Omen shall swing the mighty doors,
Behold, His table spreads
The mama of its beauty where
take his hand and go
To lie me down in pastures green
Where peaceful waters flow!
We shall be brethren in thy bond
OF love, places fair!
Under the freedom of the fields,
The largess Of the air;
Under the blessing Of the hills,
And brooks that ring with glee,
When to the verges Of the meads
He gently leadeth me.
When, with his little hand in mine,
His little faith and trust,
We turn the roads that stretch away
From marts Of roar and dust,
From streets that TEEN with sunless life
To blue skies bending Ger,
And lanes beyond the central strife,
And then the greenwood door!

PUFFS

These little shells are not exactly ap-
petizing, but they serve splendidly for
holding delicate fruits and the like.
Take the whites Of two eggs and beat
to a stiff froth. Add Tablespoonful
of vinegar and enough pulverized
sugar to make mixture like sort cake
doI1gh, Grease patty pans and put a
small spoonful into each. They will rise
into little mounds, and make a delicate
brown. Remove and chill. The tops
should be cut off, and as there is very
little substance inside, it can be broken
down and each shell filled with fruit or
a delicate pudding.

FROM THE SEA LIMITS
I.isten alone reside the sea,

Listen alone beside the sea,
Listen alone among the woods;
Those voices Of twin solitudes
Shall have one sound alike TO thee;
Hark where the murmurs Of thronged men
surge and sink back and surge again
stiu the one voice of wave and tree.
Gather a shell from the strown beach
And listen at its lips; they sigh
The same desire and mystery,
The echo of the whole seas speech
And all mankind is thus at heart
Not anything but what thou art
And Earth, Sea, Man, are all in each.
Dante Gabriel Rosetti.

FUN AND FROLIC IN
EVENINGS AT STATE FAIR
After Day of Learning How to Make
Better Living-and More of It
the Visitor Has an Enter

25-comprise a program that is unex-
celled for merit and brilliance.
Aside from the big collection of clean
midway attractions over on "The Road, "
the free events out in front of the grand
stand are enough to make a trip to the
fair very decidedly worth while.
Let's begin, say, at 7 o'clock, and not
include in the night show the first of
the Continuous stream of amusements
which begins in the early afternoon.
First comes the Weber's Band evening
concert, and this continues all during the
brilliant horse show which begins at
o'clock. Also at intervals during the
evening the six big outdoor acrobatic
and vaudeville acts are given on the
raised platform across the horse show
ring. After the horse show the tens of
thousands of electric lights are turned
off and such displays of fireworks as de-
lighted the visitors to the Tennessee Cen
tennial are given their turn at lighting
up the grounds for while.

the judges will at certain hours show
the practical points in judging a COW

the purposes not only of an exhibition

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Johnson City People Should Learn
to Detect the Approach of
kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine
full of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by sensation of scalding.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the VIC
tim is often weighed down by feeling
of languor and fatigue, Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease or diabetes. Any one
Of these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's johnson
City proof:
Il. 5. Jones, electrician, living on
Main street, Johnson City, Tenn, says:
p" l know Doan's Kidney Pills to be a
remedy of great merit. They were
used by my wife and myself for back
ache and their curative powers were
shown in both cases. i procured Doan's
