Making Good

erage American boy. AS list Of rules
there is not one of them you cannot fol-
low. They are Just as necessary to you
as they were to Columbus, or Lincoln, or
Palissy, or anybody else.
In their cases, and in yours they aim
to secure one result: to bring out what
is in.
Columbus had a new world in his mind
He brought it out.
Lincoln had a new social order in his
mind. He brought it out.
Palissy had a new pottery in his mind.
He brought It out.
The genius is the one who knows he
has something in his mind, and who
never quits until he brings II out.
This shows us that it pays to know
about the genius; not merely to know
what the genius does; but how he does it,
Now, about making good.
Its fundamental principles are three
in numbers
l. Be true.
2. Be honest.
g. Be busy.
The things to be true to are: Q) Your
| belief in the opportunity that belongs to
you. This will keep your nature sweet,
wholesome and hopeful.
C2) The power you posses. This will
make you self-reliant masterful and
earnest
The things about which you must be
! honest, are, first, your power It is your
power, a sacred possession given to no
one else. Second, your work, which is
what your power does 1t is that some
thing in your mind which you bring out.
The things about which YOU must be
busy are best called essential things
They are work and play
Work is your power shown up to other
people It succeeds when you are true
and honest to yourself.
! Play is your power also, but turned in
another direction. All you need to do is
to play so that you are still true and
honest. and then play is worth while. II
never becomes mere idleness, for you
never forget yourself
Every great genius has worked and
played. These are also your privileges.
Every great genius has had to decide
some day which he will do the most,
work or play.
And, again, this is also your privilege.

To Bill Dahlen

When you starred In Chicago's short
field.
These were a few OF your sins:
You tore the flap from an urnpires cap
And kicked him twice in the shins;
nNou steered your mates into mischief
Like a farmer steering a plow.
You used to be Bad Bill Dahien,
But you're Good Bill Dahlen now.
For you've helped us out, Bill Dahlen,
In times when our need was sore;
And we hope that Ebbets Will hire you
over and over and o'er.
You have pushed the Cubs to destruction
AS a Jasper might goad a COW.
You used to be Bad Bill Dahlen,
But you're Good Bill Dahlen now.

AN ILL MATED PAIR.

Thomas and Jane Carlyle.

Wide Apart In Temperament Were
Thomas and Jane Carlyle.
That the CarTyles were an Ill assert
ed couple no one could deny. She was
highly strung, nervous woman. very
quick, able and impatient, disappoint-
ed with her married life and her posi-
ton. Jealous Of the admiration which
Carlyle received at the hands of all
his admirers, especially of one or two
women. whom she found very unsym-
pathetic.
That Carlyle adored her there is lit
tie doubt. He loved her with all the
rough. passionate power of his nature,
but he was a peasant In manner and
character and lacking in all the little
outward signs of devotion and affec-
ton which so many women exact and
the absence of which they resent most
bitterly.
Mrs. Carlyle found herself tied to an
irritable genius who, sensitive at every
point. deeply devoted TO her, but abso-
Iutely incapable of translating that
love into the language which she
craved and longed for. remember
her once saying to me in a bitter way.

votion in which the whole of her daily
life was wantlng.-From Lady st. He

MUSICAL MOUNTAINS.
Singing Cliffs In the Pyrenees and
Roaring Sands In Hawaii.


In certain parts of the world are
mountains and hills which are said by
the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re-
sembling the strains Of a harp. Two
other cliffs in the same chain are called
the "snorers" When the wind Is In
the southwest they send forth a pc
culiar sound not altogether musical
The faces of these cliffs are marked
by deep gullies. open in front. which

Ing trees, closes the openings while the
wind blows freely between through
the gullies. or organ pipes. behind;
hence the music that Ia heard.
At the confluence Of the Orinoco and
the Rio Meta are granite cliffs which
sing at sunrise. Humboldt refers to
the phenomenon as the musical stones
Of the Orinoco. The music is caused by
the rush of the expanding air through
assures partly closed by mica.
Many more examples might be cited
to show that nature makes use of prin-
ciples which hnve been adopted by
man in the creation of musical sounds.
Nor are the musical sounds of nature
confined to~Focks mountains and bills,
for in Hawaii Is a sand bank fifty feet
high which. when the hand is moved
about in the loose sand. produces
sound like that OF melodeon. 1t is
said that if the observer slides down

hands in the sand, the sound becomes
as loud as faint thunder. -Hsrper's
