Let all such faint hearted folk re- member that the great successes have generally come to those who have. ar least, endcavorea- The conquerors they reached it, or till it was clearly proved that they never could reach it. It is on record that Edison ran down scores Of false clues in his en- ilis vacuum bulbs.

He kept running the hit out in each case till one day he landed safe on first base. He found just the right kind of bamboo aud the world had its incandescent lamp.
 How many inventors have stopped just short of the great discovery How many explorers would have won out if they had but kept on, How many unknown names in the great rast would have been emblazoned on the honor rolr of history if the bear CTS of those names had persevered to the full limit of their opportunities, am inclined to think that the real difference between men of merely in- tellectuaI competence. who yet never become known to stations down the line, and men of genius, who leave Q name for all posteritys is in. just this touch of daring temper which urges the genius to go little farther

The young man who goes out to work with the idea he is a wage slave is not tuned up to the key of success He has his mind in the right form to
 be a deliver, and to stay deliver as long as he lives. The man who is as careful of the property of other people as if it was his, and who knows any canduct cn his part which causes loss to his employer causes loss to him, is in the mood to so act that be will get the good will of those who ern- ploy him, and be regarded as indis- pensable to their success. The man who works in the light is different from the fellow who works in the shadow; and he is capable of accom- plishing more in a given time. It is the man who works that makes busi- ness satisfactory; and it is in the sat- isfactIon of those who employ him that his prospects, of advancement rest. Do not let a selfish and unapprecia- tive employer spoil you To slight his work or to denean ones self in any way to get even with him is simply tearing down manhood and spelling prospects. When he has proved to be indurate it is time te quit. Faith fiIl and conscientious workmen are not obliged to stand abuse. There is good demand in the world for every one of them

1 do not know what you think of books; but do know there are great variety Of opinions of them, and we are approaching the season when a warm fire and a good book are a com fort and a pleasure. I find books are pretty good companions. They do not require you to agree with them, give you no back talk. lay no wagers, and do not bore the reader. They are readily shut up when one has had enough of them, and never complain of rudeness. Books cannot corrupt a reader unless he wants to be corrupt ed People who read pernicious books like what is in them. Nothing will show a mans aste better than the books he reads: and if he indulges in marginal markings annDtat tions he leaves traces of his own character. What a man gets out of book de- bends upon the absorptiye quality of the reader, not upon the book. Some minds find it easy to pervert the mean ing of good books; and not always be- cause they lack the power to interpret them. A good course of reading is always profitable; and miscellaneous reading is both edifying and enter tainifIg. It does not take much of a book to be an improvement upon shop talk or every day conversation.

 it IS more respectable to belong to the Baskers than the to the Sons of Rest. The Sons of Rest were born tried and loaf like effigies but the BaslSers work smart until they think it is time to bast. and then ti1ey indulge in their preferred dissipation, which is to do nothing and to think of nothing under the sun-to just abide in si- 1ence and get acquainted with them selves Rasking is not modern, but somewhat ancient, for Wordsworth has been denominated the president of the Bas11ers for all time, because he un- derstoed how to basls and what came of it. which he efnbalmed for future generations in these words: Think you mid all this mighty sum of things forever speaking, nothing af itself will come, but we must still be seeking. No less I deem that there are powers which of themselves our mind impress. And we can feel this mind of ours in 8 wise passiveness." This showed that Wordsworth recognized and realized the advantage of going into the silence which is being practiced and promoted today. by the New Thoughters, who may yet see that basking is a good name for this exercise.

of Michigan az all. in my opinion, in
his attitude toward the Lorimer in

Osborn i'm an address here.
Michigan believes that Lorimer Is
unfit TO hold a seat in the United
States senate.
1T isn't necessary that Senator Bur-
lows. as chairman Of the senate COM
mittee on election. shall take the posi-
tion Of supporting. Lorimer to defend
the committees work"
Gov. Osborn would cure the evil
growing out of the Burrows-Lorimer
situation by taking steps to prevent
any United States senator defeated
for reelection, as was MIR. Burrows,
from voting in the senate after his
defeat.
Il think that when a man has been
defeated for reelection for United
States senator as was Mr.. Burrows,
he should not be permitted to vote,
for he no longer represents his state. .
he said The very fact of his defeat
makes his misrepresentation more
acute He realizes that he no longer
can have hopes Of reelection and he
feels no further responsibility.
This is the situation with regard ia
Senator Burrows. His defeat for re-
election in Michigan was decisive. yet
he still holds his seat during the pres
ent session and votes against the
wishes of the people whom he is sup
posed to represent. This is not right,

been defeated for reelection i'm his

WON'T UNsEAT BRADLEY.
Poll OF Senate Shows Fewer Than
Eight Against Him.

Lansing, Mich, Feb 25.-According
than eight senators who are in favor
Of unseating Senator Bradley. None of
these members will admit he is willing
to Introduce a resolution asking the re-
moyal of the senator accused Of solicit
ing SIS from Sherman NJ. Townsend,
former senate sergeant-at-arms.
BY an expression of the senators,
that body will vote Tuesday next to
adopt the committee report which was
recently submitted. Senator Bradley's
friends declare, however, the adop-
tion Of the report does not imply the
senator is guilty Of any serious charge.
Several of the senators who have
read the testimony at the hearing are
of a different opinion than they were
a week ago and do not hesitate TO so
express, themselves. 1t is known Brad
ley's friends are preparing for flow OF
oratory in a discussion of the report
that will tend TO show the Senator's
side of the matter.
Mr.. Bradley will not resign his seat
before the senate has taken action
on the report Of the committee and
there is a possibility he may not do
so when the report has been passed on.
Those who are opposed to Mr. Brad
ley admit they have not a sufficient
number of votes to unseat him, even
IL such a move is made.

Socialists and Anti -Clericals Appear
Successful in Their Opposition
And Premier May Be Un-
willing to Continue.

Paris, Feb 25.-It is regarded as GER
tain that the BRAND ministry will re-
sign Monday as a consequence of the
attack made upon it in the deputies
last night. and the small majority with
which the confidence of the chamber
was subsequently voted
Premier BRAND for the first time in
his brilliant career as the controlling
influence in the government of France
finds himself on the shifting sand. II
is quite probable the resignation of the
cabinet will be presented To President
Fallieries Monday. If this course. is
not adopted it will be more because OF
the urgency of personal friends and the
fact no other strong leader appears
available, than because of any desire
on Brands part TO continue the fight
against the radical Socialists and an
ti-Clericals.
The leader who has before survived
grave crises and come out with tri-
umphant vote, last night escaped the
censure of the government by a bare
majority of sixteen. The Socialists
who have never forgiven the premier
for modifying the extreme ecclesiastical
views which he championed when he
first entered public life, have attacked
him persistently and at last nights
session all but forecast his immediate
retirement.
Recently BRAND was assailed jointly
by the Clericals and Socialists. Last
night he was charged with clericalism
and blamed for not having applied tn,
laws against religious bodies will

After the chamber adjourned las
night the ministry held a long session
Some favored immediate resignation

The president. said McCumber
should not be censured for his advo-

farmers had shown by their votes last
fall that they had not wanted to re-
turn representatives who had defended
their interests in tariff legislation, and
that meant the farmers did not care
whether they were protected or not.
