GOOD WORK is LOVED WORK
And Therein One Should Find the
-ontentment That Is Chief
Part of Life.

If man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love it. The manualtrain-
ing scheme has this id view-to sur
round the job a man Is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make it attractive to him.
1.-The man who is in love with his
job gets more contentment out OF life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets great part of his
tcontentment in doing his work right.
No man car love his work who shirks.
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk.
ing or doing it negligent'y. So these
things always go together--honest
work, contentment and love of the job

The Vacant Chair.

What sad memories linger around
the old vacant chair Sitting in the
middle of the floor, with plaintive
look about it's frayed and seemingly
weary back, it brings back tumultu-
Gus riot of sad rccollections that time
can never efface. Volumes OF bitter
anguish come to me when I arrive
home in time to catch the milkman
swiping the loose furniture around the
place, and take Off my shoes to avoid
publicity, and strike my best toe
against the rocker Of the old vacant
chair. Then, forgetting for the mo-
ment my unclad feet, l kick the chair
on the other rocker. That is when
the sadness and suffering that fingers
around the old chair comes out with
an extra edition and great chunks of
gloom settle over me like herd of ILL
natured f1ies.-Oregon Journal.

part Of life.. Whatsoever he saith un-
to you, do it," He may command one
to difficult journey, promising 10 cal

to stay in humble privacy, promising

the task itself is his boon. If the diff

the weary cross is his, why demur? In
that journey, in that cross, he desires
to reveal his life through each of his

We are not surprised, therefore that
1t should cost Paul crucifixion. The
surprise Is that we should ever hope
to possess this supreme experience at
less cost. No one surrenders the house
to Jesus as Lord without a draft of

and therefore it is imperative, that all
who feel tae charm of Jesus should
recognize his unique claims. The cross
in our experience must be as real as the
cross on the Hill, until he gains his
throne within. Then his sovereignty
becomes an abiding joy, and obedience
to him luminous passion.

TEACH A LESSON IN TRUST
Christians May Learn Much from
Contemplation Of the Birds
of the Air.

The birds teach us how to live in
reference to our future. They do the
best that they can in providing for
themselves; then they trust in God
for their tomorrow. We are hidden
not to drag tomorrow into to-day. We
are not to add the burden of to-mor-
row to the burden of to-day. And
what Is tomorrow? Whence comes it?
No man can tell. Tomorrow is the
next thing that we are to come upon;
but 1t Is riddle not to be solved.
We cannot see one day before our
selves. Our future belongs to God. 1t
is enwrapped with many folds. No
human hands are deft enough to take
off the folds that the mystery Of to-
morrow may be read. One of the
wisest and most beneficent provisions
which God has made for man inheres
in the fact that he cannot see and
know what lies beyond the horizon Of
to-day.
Our imagination is winged; its tend
ency is to fly into the future. While
we should use foresight in reference
to our future, we are not to yield self
to thoughts Of tomorrow that chafe,
that rasp, that devour. Such over
anxious thoughts waste our nature.
dissipate our nervous energy, and
prey upon our vital forces. Such
overanxious thoughts distemper our
Imagination, bring our mind into a
morbid condition and destroy COM
pleteIy the serenity of our soul. AS
the gardener seeks to keep weeds out
of his garden, so should we seek to
keep such thoughts out of our life.
AS the way to take care of the har-
vest Is to take the best possible care
of the seed-time, SO the way to take
care of tomorrow is to take the best
possible care of to-day. God, having
shut us up within the limitations Of
to-day, says: Work well to-day, and
when tomorrow comes you will have
the strength to meet its problems.
Life comes to us, not in long
stretches, but day at a time. Living
day by day is the secret of all true,
brave, triumphant living If we live
our life according to the doctrine that
Jesus teaches, when he says: Behold
the birds of the air." we live day by
day. Then is our life richer, our hope
brighter. our outlook fairer and heaven
seems nearer. Blessed are they who
make to-day sweet with conservation
to duty, fragrant with the breath of
Christian prayer. and holy with work
we'll done in their Masters name; and
then for tomorrow trust him who
feeds the birds of the air.

as good many political sharps think
be will do. he is employing a novel
method of making his attitude known
The colo..el announced that several
OF the most rabid insurgent leaders IN
the country are coming to Sycamore
Hill on Thursday. The conference
gives every indication Of being the
most important gathering that Mr.
Roosevelt has participated in since he
got back from the other side, with the
possible exception of the meeting with
President Taft at Beverly last week
which apparently was not as sstisiac'
tory to the colonel as the Beverly dis
patches would have IT,
1t has been stated frequently in the
Oyster Bay dispatches that the eX'
president is cautiously feeling his way
before he lets the public in on how he
feels toward the administration. It
has been remarked. also, that the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy is the rock
upon which Colonel Roosevelt and
President Tafe are likely to split For
the first time the colonel defined
clearly his opposition to Secretary
Ballinger by telling Representative
Miles E Poindexter that he will IN
dorse his candidacy in the fight for
the United States senatorship against
Senator Piles. Of Washington Piles is
identified with the Ballinger wing Of
the Republican party in the state OF
Washington PoindeXter is an out and
out supporter Of Pinchot and a mill
tGnt insurgent.
There is. Of course. the possibility
that Mr.. Roosevelt will support the
administration in due time, but he Ger
tainly is in no hurry about it. He aim
self, has summoned nearly every one
Of his political visitors TO Sycamore
Hill. He wants to hear the insurgent
side Of the story first and then, per
haps later. he may ask some Of the
regulars to drop in and explain the
stand they have taken during his ab-
sence. Judging from his program, the
colonel IS going to work the New York
state and national game together, be
cause ne believes they are pretty
closely related.
In case the investigating committee
that is looking into the Ballinger-Pin.
chot matter brings in a report to the
president adverse to the secretary Of
the interior which results in Baliing-
er's resignation or removal whatever
probable breach now exists may be
healed. The colonel has been so fear
ful TO have his position known on this
mater that his personal comment is
unnecessary. Without exception, his
Sycamore Hin guests have kind words
for Pinchot. and there is a lurking sus-
picion here that Mr.. Balilnger will get
out.

Mr.. Newell's finish is coming swiftly.
