TALKS TO THE STUDENTS.
Rev. Andrew Gillies Gives High
School Pointers on Success.

Rev. Andrew Gillies, of Minneapo-
lis, gave an interesting talk to the stu
dents of the Calumet high school yes
terday afternoon on Ethics of Sue
cess" He stated there are certain
things that must be considered in the
way to success, thrift being one of
these-not necessarily a desire to accu-
muate wealth but only a strong ten
dency on the part of the individual to
put aside a little for a rainy day.
Each person should seek his own level,
he said. That is he should work hard; /;
not to gain great fame and exalted
position. but to gain the place Tor
which he is naturally adapted.
"The fight today" said Mr.. Gillies
"is not between you and the other TEL
low, but with yourself. II is that sell
contented spirit that you must con-
tend with, for If you are satisfied with
what YOU are today the chances are
Won will be practically the same to-
morrow. If YOU are trying to gain
some place i'm this world please dc
not be afraid of good hard work, for
that is the only thing that can put you
there"
another important element of sue
cess" said Rev. Gillies, "is character
BY character / mean what man Il
twenty four hours every day of his life
and not what he is by day and wha'
he is not by night"
In concluding he asked the students
not to point all their aims and ampi'
tions toward the presidency of tn
United states or of some great corpo'
ration. but simply to steer along th'
channel OF success until they arrive a
that point for which they are bound.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 15.-Six big
disasters will occur in the United

diction of an astrologer but of the
American Red Cross, the organiZa-
tion which conducts n larger work
of relief among people stricken by
great calamities than any other agen-
cy i'm the world. Experience has led
the Red Cross to exect an average OF
five or six serious disasters I'm this
country every year. 1t does ot know
where or when they will cur, or
whether they will be caused ) storm,
or fire. or flood, or earthquake. or ex-
plosion. But 1t is sure that they will
happen, Just as one may be sure that
fifteen persons of every thousand now
living will die in the next twelve
months
Experience proves not only that an
average OF Ave or six disasters, severe
enough to call for Red Cross help,
may be expected to occur every year
in the United States, but that the de-
mards from other countries may be
expected to he equally numerous
