Real Test Of Character.

You cannot read q man so well dur.
Ing his busy hours as by what he
does after supper, or from the closing
hour of business to bedtime. You can.
not gage his character so we'll by the
money he spends for necessaries of
the living OF his family, as by that let.
tie overplus of money which is left
after the necessary expenses are paid.
What does he do with his spare
money. that margin left over from
business and from living expenses?
What he does with that margin will
throw wonderful light upon his char.
acter.
The largest part Of every active life
must be devoted to getting a living,
attending to ones affairs, and this is
done By most people in a routine sort
OF way. You cannot tell much about
the real man during these hours, be.
cause he has a system, his regular
daily routine, and he does very much
the same thing every day. But the mo.
ment he Is free, he is quite a different
man. Then his real propensities come
out. People are not natural until after
they are free from restraint.
Watch the boy and the girl when
they are free from their regular du.
ties, and see how they spend their
evenings. what society they keen.
what companionships they form, what
they do. This will be q pretty good
test Of their character.-Success

average American feel any blush or
shame at not knowing these names.
The truth of the matter is simple.
We do not know the men In the Han
OF Fame, because we have not yet pro-
duced enough men OF fanc-not, AT
any rate. when they must be distrib-
ttted over all the states. When the

America had not been republic for

in so brief a time, that each State
would have produced two men known

Nor did the stirring events OF the war
bring forth enough great men to I'LL

to recall, but SO long as we eXalt the

THE PRESIDENT AND THE rnEss

The note of personal bitterness to-
ward the newspapers which crept INTO
President Taft's address before the
Newark Board OF Trade Is altogether
unexpected. Just what was he thinking
of, we wonder? Besides paying his
respects to their alleged tendency to
hysteria. hypercriticism and hypocrisy
he suggests that they lack sympathy
with "the man who. under coz sider-
able responsibility. is doing the best
he CAM. e., himself. And he adds
an evidently sincere protestation
against newspaper treatment of his
administration marked sometimes
with contemptuous disdain and some
times with patronizing friendship
Really we think that the President
is unduly sensitive and wears his
feelings too nearly on his sleeve. The
White House, obviously, is not SC
OF the departments. AS President of a
peoplc whose newspapers represent
every shade of opinion, and In period
of political upheaval and lively popu-
lar interest in all public questions, any
President who means to do things

Reclamation viii not always he de-

vast. we shall drain every swamp,
tend every tree, double-plow every
acre.
In this part of the world, men are

We're almost as strongly felt In

that the whole South will mourn him,
BY every test of greatness, II seems

in the grip OF his theme and inspired

separate the average man from the
truly great.
And DR.. Hawthorne was even noble
