When our hearts

and all people. When our hearts
are full of such feelings we will lind
wealth in whatever circumstances
exist. A contented spirit is great
wealth to its owner and to his as
sociates. It gloriies the common
things of life and gives forth a joy
that cannot be purchased with gold.
A tender, loving heart is an alche-
mist that transmutes the dross of ev-
cry day people and things into pure
gold of content.
The spirit which creates wealth
may be cultivated. Indeed, it must
be cultivated else it will die. 1t we
choose, we may see the world with
the eyes of loving appreciation; we
may busy our thoughts with the best
of everything and crowd out the
poor things or the things that make
us poor because they take our
thoughts away from what gives us
satisfaction. Every day gives us
many chances to choose our point OF
view and every time we make the
choice in favor of that thought which
gives us joy, we increase the sum OF
our content and that of others. Ev-
cry time we choose the gloomy or
intolerant viewpoint, we rob our
selves and others of a moment OF
content.
The wealth of nations is in the
hearts of the people. We are all
rich in proportion to the moments
of satisfaction we can enjoy and the
moments of happiness we can be-
stow.
Life is not things, it is feelings
and all are potential millionaires
who control their thoughts so as to
miss none of the wealth of joy with
which each is laden for those who
so will to appropriate.

There were white regiments both
infantry and cavalry. Their drill
evolutions were perfection and we
used to consider it a treat to watch
them and visit their camps. / had
several talks with different men in
these regiments and used to make it
a point to ask them just what they
thought of army life and whether
they intended to re-enlist. If all the
replies could be boiled down into
one it would run something like this:
Take it from me, kid, it's dogs
life and when my times up, I'm
DONE" And although saw but
very little my own conclusions were
that they were not very far wrong.

LincoIn's Question

congress, told this Lincoln story:
"A friend of mine told me that

Their one of the famous Lincoln
Douglas debates in Illinois. My
friends father was a Lincoln man,
but the place in which that particu-
lar debate took place was Douglas
stronghold.
Douglas spoke first, and he was
frequently interrupted by vociferous
applause. The cheering and the
hand-clapping at the end lasted four
or five minutes. When Lincoln was
introduced the crowd broke out into
cheers for Douglas and kept it up
for several minutes. Lincoln mean
while waited patiently.
when at length the enthusiasm
had subsidized Lincoln extended his
long right arm for silence. When
he had partly got this he said in an
impressive tone, What an orator
Judge Douglas is!'
This unexpected tribute to their
friend set the audience wild with
enthusiasm. When this applause
run it's course Lincoln, extending his
hand again, this time gaining silence
more easily.
What a fine presence Judge
Douglas has!' exclaimed the speaker
earnestly. Again tumultuous ap-
plause followed the tribute.
How well rounded his sentences
are! How we'll chosen his language
is! How apt his illustrations are!'
ending up with, What a splendid
man Judge Douglas isl
Then when the audience ha d
again become silent at his~call Lin
coin leaned forward and said:
And now, my countrymen. how
many of you can tell me one thing
Judge Douglas said!'
my friend told me he searched
his own heart for an answer and
found none. Afterwards he asked
his father ii he could remember any
thing Judge Douglas had said, and
the latter remembered practically
nothing. But my friend said to
me impressively, even now, half a
century later, | can recall practical

championship, and the seventh straight
year he has been among the runners
up. Larned made the pace from the
start. After Mclaughlin had taken the
first game, Larned began a dashing
offense, driving Mclaughlin back from
the net to the base line where the Cali
fornian seemed unable to get back his
stroke Larneds mastery was evident
throughout both in stroke and accur-
ate placements. McLoughlin's return
was very weak and he lost in the net

In any event. it is certain the for

spent restless. Slcepless night. and
was pale when he Crawled through
the ropes. Dr. j. J. Davis. who
examined both wrestlers. declared that
while there might have been some
thing wrong with Hackenschmidt's
knee it was not evident during the
examination.
While it took GOtch fourteen min
utes. eighteen and oue-fifth seconds
to gain the first fall. the second
required but five minutes, thirty two
and three-fifths seconds, in which
Hacks friends assert it was proved
his knee was in bad condition.
Referee Smith is authority for the
statement that when Gotch secured
the fatal toe lock. which won him
second fall and the match, Hack
cried out: Don't hurt my toe" and
a second later, Don't break my leg"
and fell with his shoulders to the
mat. frothing at the mouth.
The first fall resulted from the
reverse body hold after the men
struggled for fourteen minutes That
terrible toe hold, for which GOtch
is famous. was responsible for the
second fall. He clamped it on the
left foot of the Russian Lion and
ended the match in jig time.
Scarcely had he obtained the grip
when Hack acknowledged defeat with
his shoulders
Hacks own statement that it was
the easiest worlds championship ever
won. tells the story of the bout.
Gotch never had serious trouble at
any time Neither was he forced
to extend himself to win.

The Iowan appeared faster than ever
before His condition was perfect.
He entered the ring filled with con

his cooIness.
on the other hand the Russian
seemed i'll at ease. During the first
fall he went about his work with
his face set and with anything but

After Gotch gained the first fall the
courage OF the Russian appeared To
have oozed out of him. With should

sat in his corner waiting the signal

Up in a box in the center of the
SrandStand sat two women who did

audience. They were his mother and
his bride Frequently while i'm the
