There comes with riches and oppor-
tunity poverty of legs. The
man who is able to ride
will not walk, although walk
ing is one of the best physical
exercises known; and city people of
limited means spare their nickeIs to
spare their legs, although it is to
their disadvantage to do it. All mod
ern nations walk too little and die too
young. I once heard a well-to- do
friend say he couldn't afford to ride
he could spare the nickels, but ne
could not spare the strength. The
amount we walk determines what kind
of legs we have under us. Jack E.
dFedge, a Boston boy of 26 years
walked to Frisco in n days and made
70 miles in a single day, breaking
Weston's best record. City legs that
can do 10 miles without feeling over
done are the exception, not the rule
The walking habit is a good habit-it
represents masterful reliance.

Have you ever thought how many
things betray one? Language betrays
us, and so do associations and temper.
The uncultured man cannot keep the
fact hid from his cultured neighbors
that birds of a feather flock to-
.gether make association reveal char
character through our tastes: and our
temper when We permit it to be stir
red up by a weak or fiippant person,
shows that we are not strong our
selves. The person of seIf-control is
the only well balanced person. and such
are rare indeed Man is. never moe

because actions speak louder than

cause when he hides his head he thinks

think they are doing things on the
sly. when they are acting openly are
not displaying more wisdom. A gres !

The briIIiancy of the peoples in the
summer gardens reminds one that we
are reaching about the center of
Flora's annual parade parade that
begins with the hardy lilliputs of the
floral kingdom and closes with the
giants-dahlias and chrysanthemums
on the extreme left. These blazing
flowers cast the spell that binds as
well as the odor that doDes. OF them
Mabel Osgood Wright writes in The
Garden of a Commuters Wife: ''The
poppy, though brief of days. is the
garden hypnOtist. Look steadily at
mass of these glowing flowers blend
ing their multi-colors in the fall sun
light. At first their briIliancy is
blinding; then as the petals undulate
on the slender stems your attention
is rooted as IL a hundred eyes return
ed your gaze and drowsiness steals
over you for each flower bears the
spell of the hypnotic pod whose seeds
bring sleep" Seen among the wild
grass wrote Ruskin, far away they
look like burning Goals falling from
Heavens altar" They have a charm
tha,t is all their own, and seen massed
they have a glory that calls for the
admiration.

1t has been said that you cannot
prevent the birds of sadness from fly
ing over your head, but you may pre-
vent them from stopping to build nests
in your hair" This is a good thing to
remember-it is practical counsel,
commonly unheeded. for birds of sad
ness nest in the hair of altogether too
many people. and the fact that they
were permitted to nest there is re-
sponsible for family and personal con-
dftions which are deplorable. We
should not permit them to nest there
when we know they are our own
birds, and certainly not when they are
the creation of another. The class of
people who Ieta birds of sadness nest
in their hair are in the class with
those vino borrow trouble and cross
bridges before they come to them.
They let worthless things prey upon
their mind instead of getting right up
and preying upon them.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

You have been told to be true
Every boy who has been to Sunday
school recognizes this as the regular
admonition. True to what? True to
God and self-to ones highest concep-
lions of right and duty If this were
all it would be comparatively easy,
but you must be true to friends and
true to enemies. To be true means
false in nothing or to no one. There
is no tit for tat in this sort of life
there is no scathing for scathing, no
SANDER for SANDER in true living. To
be true is t. erect the highest stand
ard of probity and honor and live
right up to it. 1t is far from being
an easy stunt, but it is the develop
ment of the best-the cleanest and
most dignified manhood. Few know
how to be true, hence men are what
they are.
What. is the use of telling a man
that life is a quarry out Of which
he is to mold and chisel and COM
pIete a character" The average man
can see that just as readily as he can
see the bust of a man, woman or child
in a. block of Parian marble. The
fact is. there never was in a block of
marble anything of the kind, for it is
of man. Man and his ability makes
marble yield to his sense of proper
the resistant block of stone yield
to the mastery of his art
he puts his energy into the stone
and out of it is wrought his concept
of beauty-or of naturalness. Man is
a creator-he can make mud or stone
express his conception of art, whether
real or imaginative; so out of life
the man of will and of desire and
good perception and conception of it's
worth can mold a master character
the other kinds of character do not
have to be nodded or chiseled-they
grow as Topsy thought she did.
Have you ever noticed how often
the coming man has failed to arrived
The boy orator seldom is known for
his great ability when a man. The
boy who at IL writes essays upon the
fourth dimension that aStonish the
scientific world has doubtless reached
his highest achievement-as has the
boy who at Is is star in comedy. Tt
has been shown that precocity is not
a good foundation for mastery man
hood. The genius of juvenility does
not last to glorify age The star that
is before its time is lost in the greater
light Of day-it is not to be seen of
men. The brilliancy which holds the
attention of the world is not of this
kind No brilIiancy of man holds the
attention of the world long, but that
which comes of Maturity is longest
admired 1t is not the coming man
who does great things, but the man
who has arrived. To never be in the
coming man class may be regarded as
good fortune.

Twenty-Five Eentombed.

There were a couple of explosiols

tendent of the mine and two pit bos-

lowered a second explosion 0,:ured,
and the supposition is that the mem
bers of the party lost their lives.
A report received at the Norfolk &
Western division Office from a special
agent sent from Norton to investigate
states that two miners have been res
cued alive, and two others were
brought out dead.
