THE SOMETHING WITHIN US

on the home stretch and drop in ex- haustion just before the goal was plays at home. Given a certain dis tance from my pursuer. could run like a deer; but let the distance les- sen, let him approach too near, above me, and, where any one of the other players would have spurted. l would falter, half paralyzed, and drop to the ground in sheer. physical inability to run at all. I am drawing the analogy now in my work. I am like the racer. He dashes forward, he holds his own, he passes one signal post after an- other, until he is on the home stretch. his goal in sight. his laboring heart almost home. Couragei Draw the heaving breath once more, yet once more, and once more again. Couragei Couragel Bravo! Almost homel Huzzai He makes it. He wins. But what is this? Down? Yes, downi Breathless, crushed. beaten! The racers rush by. That last sprint was the strain too much That last bound life-throb itself
 This morning bright, new hope came to me, borne on the wings of helpful thought I began to realize that instead of being pricked and prodded by our inward urge, we may cooperate with it and rejoice in it; that we may recognize 1t and chum
 
 and talk with it as with our. best friend; in a word, that 1t is just this something within that makes us at one with the Eternal and akin to all earth's greatest and grandest. as well as its humblest souls. It is that with in us which forces us to be and De come, to do and to conquer; that within that assures us of life. and is life; that which makes all life worth living, and all true work worth doing; that in us which 'tcan" and therefore will and does Folded away deep in the soul of Everyman is the living essence, and it is each souls problem to bring it out into the light. that 1t may blossom and bud and bear fruit. The first step is recognition. We must know and understand this inner self. we must make glad acquaintance with our own innermost spirit. The spark of inner fire must become conscious of itself. Next, we must take to our selves a great, grand, calm patience. through all the eternal ages we can wait. And it is the same thought, brother mine that even as we live our life from within outward. so the poet soul must create from the center, must write or paint or sing or work or play from the heart of itself. from the heart of life.
 'sFoole, saide my Muse to me.
 Looke in thine heart and write"
 To fail to use a talent that is ours. even though it be the least of all the little ones, is to fail indeed. To fear failure, or to whine over it, is to be morbid; and to be morbid is to sink to the dregs of seIhshness. to feed up- on the fungus growth of self-pity. To grieve over lack of time, lack of leis- ure and opportunity, or even over non achievement; most of all to grieve be- cause the ''I' of us seems such a small, unseeing '1," is a sure sign of weak ness. The king, the man who "can." is always masterly, strong, willing, joyous, serene, and free.

SPEED AND DESTRUCTION.

It is the speed maniac who brings the best-built automobile to an un- timely erd The life of any machine Is regulated by the way in which that
 machine is used. I'hs life of a wheel Is the number of revolutions it is ca pablo of making and when the num- Der has been made, whether it be one year or five, that wheel has become defunct. This principle is the same with every machine built and in the use of expensive machinery a fool may waste his patrin1ony by his ex- cesses- A joy rider may take more out of an automobile in his care and keeping in 8 few wild hours than a week of temperate pleasure seeking of days of moderate and sensibly con- dIcted business Those who elect to run up to speed who delight in fast travel, are paying three or four times as much for their pleasure as those who run within bounds, conserve the power of their machine, ride with less peril observe more that is pleasing en route and in general have a much more profitable time in every way There are owners Of automobiles who never give a thought to waste of en- ersy or needless wear and tear and in 6 few months their machines look worse than some that have been in use four times as long. It is appar- ent that half the automobiling world doesn't yet know how to run an auto mobile

pete with men who give all their time to them and have become experts"
 By this time Cousin Goodfellow was short for breath and who had been listening meekly had chance to get in a rejOinder to this purport: All that you have said is to me gratify- ing token of the richness and variety of modern life Good men are not satisfied to live in d groove. The mo- notony of many manual tasks com pels them to seek some let-up and change it's a good thing to have more than one string to your bow. If Charles Lamb had stuck forever to his ledger and other bookkeeping duties ing essays of Ella. If Hoplninson Smith had confined himself to his painting we should have missed some of the most piquant short stories in all avocation is a mighty good thing pro- vided it is not carried too far"
 ''But that's just the peril" continued my companion. 'T know a fine young fellow just out of college who went last fall to the principalship of a high school. He has a good singing voice and quite gift for acting and he has allowed himself to be drawn into most the real neglect of his school duties. He ought first of all to have made good with his school work"
 On that last point I should be lnslStent as anyone IL does not pay to spread ourselves too thin. Blessed is the man that puts his vocation first. but when he has conscientfously done that, blessed too, say I, is the man who has a side interest that may refresh him after the monotonous toll of the day, it is to be hoped. a better man. One may keep hens or collect stamps or old furniture or play at forestry or study Shakespeare, or paint old china or cultivate a class of bright boys in Sunday school, or correspond with a foreign missionary, and he may do any of these things in such a way as to enrich his own life and at the same time store up power wherewith he shall better discharge his vocation The summer season, on which we are so soon to enter, is a good time to consider the rehation of vocation to avocation and how the one may be tributary to the other.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
LOCATIONS AND INDICATIONS

Cousin GoodfeIlow and I had live ly discussion at luncheon the other noon over the old question as to his last. He was in a rather sarcastic mood for him and waxed eloquent over the disposition many people have to undertake the other fellows job to do which they are lily qualified. There's my friend Exploiter," he went on. Hes a mighty good advertising man and has established a large and paying agency, but why should he think he has any ability as an inventor lots of time and money into silly little devices that he thinks are going to have a great run, but which never come to much. Another crony of mine, a fine civil engineer imagines he has some literary talent and has actually pages of something he calls story When I last saw him he was still calling on the publishers in the hope that some one of them would put his goods on the market
 That's the way it goes in this world of ours. The bookkeeDer gets cob bIer's kit and thinks he can save money by mending his children's shoes.

A MINISTER FOR LICENSE.

When the Rev. William Wasson of Grace Protestant Episcopal church at Riverhead, l.. l., resigned his pastor ate to become a lecturer for the li- cense system or the promotion of the truly respectable saloon, hundreds of thousands of pious Americans gasped ! just as if he had committed the un- pardonab1e sin, or was the only min 1ster in America who would be guilty of such an act We do not see how minister could really do this. but we know that he has the sympathy of a great many ministers and a great many more laynen who believe in a citizens right to drink what he pleas es and his personal responsibility if he uses excessively fluids which should only be used in moderation We know that ministers are human, and we are inclined to think that they should live up to their honest convic- tions whether the world generally agrees with them or not. Rev MT Wasson has the courage of his con- victions and a great personal cost has advocated high license in the face of the sharpest opposition on the part of the church and the prohibition ele- ment everywhere. The Rev. MT. Was sons sconvictions are not our convfc- tions, but his manhood is the kind we admire and the kind the world needs more of. Intolerance does not advance any people, for it certainly is the way of degradation. True tenn perance, temperance in all things which he professes to stand for. wouId solve what now seem to be knottv problems. Since the truth is mishtv and will prevail, we need not worrx ourselves about the triumph of error Honest men in honest advocacy differ rom one another upon all subjects and their convictions are worthy of respect The time is coming when tolerant world will listen with re- spect, If 1t does not approve or ap- TnIa1d

MEDIco vs. MEplco.

One hundred physicians of emi- hence and ability have found it nec- essary to organize National League of Medical Freedom in order to pre- serve their own practice from invas- ion and to protect the people from an lnvasian of their rights-the right to consult their own physician and to act upon his recommendation in times of health or disease. The doctor in politics, and the subjection of a free people to all kinds of inspection to enforced dental and other operations, and to compulsory vaccinations when hea1thy to stay disease, is unworthy of this century and worthy the atten- tFon and intelligent activity of the people everywhere, for it is a tyran- ny which will prevent a citizen from consulting his own family physician in many cases. The Bulletin agrees with the Portland, Me, Press that such a condition this league charges the National Medical board with seeking would never answer in our free country. As well legislate that all men should be Presbyterians as to make legal only the practice of one school of medicine. To take these intimate personal matters into poli- ties and to attempt a paternalism which should interfere with the rights of the individual, would lead to com plication so serious as to ruin the freedom of which we boast. If one school of medicine was in political control today and it legislated out of the right to practice all it's competi- tors, it might itself be overturned, and another school of medicine become the only authorized method of healing the body, under another administration. So turmoil and uncertainty which would not be conducive to the na- tiona1 health or national happiness would certainly result. If the need is as great as the promoters of this league think it to be, the league has been started none too soon"

PEDESTRIANISM.

Since the great across -the-continent feat was accomplished by Weston other men have tried to see what they could do against time and New York man did 75 miles in 19 hoursi and a New Jersey doctor, in his 5sth year, did 90 miles in A alours, surprising everyone by his powers of endurance. There is no kind of physical exercise which gives more health and pleasure than walk ing and recognizing this, walking clubs are being formed in all the col ieEeS of the country, and pedestrian- ism promises to he more popular than ever this year.
 The season for walking is just opening The country is at it's best Nature never wore a more beautiful garb than at present. and all outdoors is calling to the student and the clerk. as well as the athlete. to improve the opportunity to bring health to the body, bloom to the cheek and happi- ness to the heart What can be finer than vacation spent in walking through our beautiful land, in the Berkshires, along the coast of Maine or on the forest trails of New Eng land. seeing the country in a manner impossible from a railroad train, and making intimate acquaintance with Dame Nature in all her beauty. stor- ing up a wealth of health to draw upon when winters icy veil closes the opportunity and indoor duties keep one closely confined

BOARD OF BUSINESS MEN.

It is always thought that a board Of business men will do business bet ter than a board of politicians, but in actual service this Is not always SO. What is needed to do business right sn public life is sharp and honest men and it does not matter then what they may be called. Kansas City has just had an experience with a board of business men an its water department and they were buncoed into paying ssO, 900 for 76 acres of land at S1,00o en acre, and the price was twice as high az the value Of land in the vii cinity; and of this board of business men the Kansas City Journal says:
 ''Thfs board of Business men ap- parentIy did not take the trouble to find out how much the property in the vicinity was worth, who owned the property bought, or any other essen tial facts, but seems to have been in such a hurry to get rid of public and back to private business that it left all the details to others instead of ascertaining them for itself. This transaction is a mere detail but it shows that business boards do not always transact the city's business With the scrutiny and acumen the members would devote to their private business. It is fnconceiva'ble that any business man would pay for four more acres of ground than he got or would pay anything at all until he found out whether the price was a reason able one"
 There is nothing satisfactory in an exhibit of this kind to voters. It is not likely that a board of grafters could have done worse, since as here portrayed there must have been a straight loss of s42,00O in a transac- ton covering sso, 1000. The grafters appear to have got in their work, anyway.

As I looked up through the soft green dome of that wonder of grace fully curving limbs and stems. upon deep blue background, with pink inter- facing it in differently formed patches of greater or less intensity, became conscious that a Corot never could paint on canvas anything that would approach it for beauty; any more than he could reproduce the flower on the brookside as shadowed Tn the water.

Seeing the letter carrier with his loaded bag reminds me that some one has said that 90 in every 100 letters is waste of postage. In other words, they are not worth carting round; but the writers do not think so, and I doubt whether the letter carrier would accept this saying for truth, for he makes a very good living car rying them round, and gets no little amusement out of the signs of joy which these sweet little nothinss evoke. He doesn't find everybody pleasant for half the world does not know how to smile or when. The let ter carrier has everybody to please. and has an occupation that can never be wholly satisfactory. If he learns to laugh at Mrs. Crouch and to give the bad dog good lessons he is well on to his job. It looks like a simple service but it takes a clever fellow to perform it.

LIBEL CASE COMES UP.

New York, Jan. 25.-"James Blu chanan was a pretty good lawyer, a much better lawyer than president said Judge Hough in the United States district count today, in commenting upon the argument of Delaney Nieoll. counsel for the defense in the Pana- ma libel case. Mir. Nicolrs motion was to dismiss the indictment charg. ing the New York Worldl with crimi- nal libel against President Taft, The odore Roosevelt and others, in con nection with the purchase of the Pan- anna Canal.
 In supporting his motion Nicoll re hearsed the history of libel prosecu' tions from Colonial times down to the present day, quoting President Blu chanan as authority for his conten- tion that congress had no right to pass a libel law and citing the classic case in which Thomas Jefferson ap' peared as complainant and Alexander Hamilton as counsel.
 MT. Nicol had not completed his argument when court adjourned until tomorrow.

MEXICAN BANK
 PAYS DEPOSITORS STEADY STREAM ALL DAY TO WITHDRAW THEIR SAVINGS
 DEPOSITS FROM BANK. Every Check Is Honored and the Bank Is Apparently Ready to Settle
 With Every Claimant.

Mexico City, Jan. 25.-The run on the United States Banking Company of this city, which began yesterday afternoon, continued today. From 10 o'clock in the morning until APO this afternoon, except for lull of an hour at midday, anxious depositors crowd ed the lobby of the institution and dur ing that time five paying tellers were kept busy.
 The bank honored every check, and t is estimated unofficially that fully 100000 pesos were withdrawn
 James Forsyth. Assistant manager Of the Mexico branch of the Bank of Montreal, and who was yesterday placed in charge of the United States Banking Company, tonight refused to discuss the banks condition after the run or to explain why large signs, stating that the Bank of Montreal had assumed charge. were taken down several hours after they had been tackled up.
 The crowd began to assemble half an hour before tihe opening time. When the bank opened there was a crush about the paying tellers' win dows, which soon increased to such an extent that it was necessary to convert bookkeepers' and receiving cages into paying tells compartments. Many women were In the crowd and some of them were roughly jostled by the men.
 Early in the day huge placards, an- nouncing that the Bank of Montreal had assumed charge of the affairs of the United States Banking Company for the present" were posted. These appeared to have the effct of rstoring confidence in Ia measure, and toward noon the line diminished until but a few persons were about the windows.
 Shortly afternoon, for some reasop which the officials of the bank decline to explain, these placards were re- moved, whereupon the run was re- sumed with renewed vigor.
