Kindness and Consideration for Other.

The tendency of business life is to make
men calculating, selfish, limited in their
sympathies. This disposition, stressed
each work day and emphasized by COM
petition, becomes habit of the soul, which
takes control of life.
The tendency of the life of pleasure is
the same. Those whose eyes are single
to their own enjoyment, who are intent
upon every opportunity for amusement,
become superficial, cold and limited in
sympathy. Selfshness with them likewise
becomes habit.
Qualities that we admire, nobility, kind
ness, sympathy, service, are to be secured
like the practical qualities of life by maxi
ing them habits of the soul. They will not
come as the result of spasmodic action or
sentimental day dreams. Acts performed
daily ripen into habits. Do you want to
keep from being the selfish individual the
practical life of business would make you?
Plan to do some deed of kindness every
day, some act which has no relation to your

business, your own happiness or success.
Do your own work faithfully and we'll,
but see if there is not an opportunity to
lend helping hand to another, to say
kind word, do an encouraging deed. In
the midst of the hurly-burly of life, in
the daily contact with men, take time fof
look now and again for the weaker man,
for the man fighting bravely against great
odds, for the wounded and bruised in the
battle of life. Cultivate the habit of kind
ness, of consideration for others with whom
you come in contact.
But not only for those with whom you
come in contact, but others you do not
see, countless host in this great world,
who daily stare with what courage they
can muster, but with dread as we'll, into
the raging eyes of the @wolf of Poverty.
The world abounds in distress and suffer-
ing and misery which men might see it
they would step out of their selfish routine.
Do some deed of kindness each day until
| it sets into habit of the soul. This is
practical Christianity.
A good way to create such habit is tc
commit ones self to some form of Christian
or altruistic service. One of the objec.
tons urged by our pleasure loving natures
against definite service of any kind is that
it ties us down. This is really one of its
advantages. When you commit yourself
to the service of others, or make your en-
gagements with yourself to perform some
duty, your good intentions do not dissipate
into thin air, but are harnessed into prac.
teal work, and the disposition to be of use
to your fellow men becomes yours at las
as the result of the habit of definite
Christian activity.

School sessions have been announced and
all teachers are expected to attend not 80

is presumed that teachers are sufficiently

Hence, going to school between sessions
seems unnecessary. tits certainly hard

vacation, and it is also heavy drain on
their meager salaries. They are not COM

During this age water is again coming
to the fore. 1t is the age of rivers and
canals. The capacity of the railroads for
hauling the freight is overtaxed and it is
accommodating mountain high. The great
est artery running through the body of the
richest valley of the world is again coming
into its own and the whistle of the Missis-
sippi steamboat is heard in the land. At
the close of the nineteenth century the
steamboats, almost disappeared from the
broad bosom of the mighty river. It's
function of transportation of the fruits of
the soil was usurped by the railroads built
upon its banks and that of its tributaries.
The great railroad men of the country
were the first 10 recognize the situation and
point to resumption of river traffic as a
solution. The story of this great river and
the lore connected with the subject forms a
mighty theme worthy of the greatest bards
of old. In this work a-day world, how
ever, facts concisely stated are sought
after, and this is what has been done by
Mr.. Chambers. Nor has he omitted to de-
scribe in an interesting style the poetry,
romance, and tragedy which have clus-
tered around the theme, while attaching
himself more particularly to discussion
of the remarkable events of historic inter-
