To Save You Time.

Have you ever noticed that when
reading you waste a certain amount
of time in turning from the end of
one line to the beginning of the next?
Long ago. when the world was not so
busy as now. columns were Of a much
greater width. Since then they have
been narrowed more and more.
OF course In an hours reading little
time is lost. but In lifetime it is like
~ to be considerable. Realizing this.
some one has suggested that type
should be arranged as follows. You
read to the end Of the line, drop the
eyes and read ackward:

Tho Power Of Napoleon.

The Power OF Napoleon.
The desperate struggle to do some
thing worth while is the very thing
which draws out our reserve forces
and develops latent power. says ORR
son SWEET Marden in Success Maya
zine. Without this struggle many peo-
ple would never have discovered their
real selves. Napoleon was never so
resourceful, never so level headed. nev-
er had that vigorous mental grasp,
was never able to make such powerful
combinations. as when he was driven
to despera ton. It was when all
bridges were burned behind him and
there was no possibility of retreat that
the possible Napoleon came to the res
cue. Napoleon said of his great gen.
eral Messena that he never showed
his mettle until he saw the wounded
and dead falling all around him in bat
tie. Then the lion in him was arous-
ed, and he fought like demon.

Ourr's SELF Control.

Aaron Burr was by nature and train
Ing man of extraordinary self con.
troll. He allowed no circumstances to
throw him of his balance. An anec-
dote told by Rufus Choate to Richard
H. Dana. recorded IN MIR. Dana's "Dia-
ry." illustrates the callousness which
aided Burr 80 greatly In controlling
himself Several years after the death
of Ha milton. killed by Burr In duel.
Burr visited Boston, and Mr.. Devereux
Of Salem paid him some attentions.
The visitor was taken to the Boston
Atheneum. where, while the two men
were walking through the gallery Of
sculpture, Mr.. Devereux happened to
catch sight of a bust Of Hamilton.
The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con-
fronted with the sight Of the features
of the man he had slain. But no. Burr
was undisturbed. He also espied the
bust. and. although Mr.. Devereux had
instinctively turned away. he walked
up to 1t and said in loud tone: "Ah!
Here Is Hamilton!' Then, passing his
fingers along certain lines Of the face.
he added. There was the poetry!
Hamilton's contemporaries gave him
credit for possessing poetic mind.
