unselfish for IL is upon them the
world looks most kindly. This class,
the most honored and admired, we
should join. There are those who set
sail on the ocean, reyelling in what
ever life holds for them, the tossing
waves, the peaceful tide or golden
sunset. La all things they see the
glorious gift OF God and inspired by
the beauty around them, they give to
the world productions OF verse or
prose that cheer weary souls or show
to others what life will grant TO those
who understand il.
Then, nf the unseltish, there are
those who embark on the deep, sup
piled with boats to rescue ships in
distress. Theirs is noble work for
many are the crafts too frail for the
buifetings OF the sea when the temp
est RACES too strong about them. Be-
cause OF the lack Of kind and steady
hand 10 guide them they fail To
brave the storms OF the deep and sink.
AS Pope once said, "Man is the
noblest work Of God" His every
ability depends for effect on the
action given it, upon the good he does
and the evil he overcomes.
The Children's Poet expresses this
thought in the lines -
Tell me not in mournful ND bers,
Life is but an empty dream.
For the soul is dead that sumbers. +"
"Act. act in the-living Present.
Heart within, and God o'erhead."
So, each hope that in life we may
see the brighter side and during our
journey on life's ocean we will never
fail TO lend helping hand to Others
or pass by valuable opportunities that
may cross our pathway.

WANT CHANGE IN BOWLING.
ST. Louis Tsnpin Men Advoeats
Amendments to the Laws.


At the convention Of the American
bowling congress. which viii be held
in st. Louis in January. the st Louis
tenpin bowlers will advocate radical
changes in the rules and regulations
Of the National Bowling association
despite the anticipated opposition Of
Chicago and other cities. One Of their
pet schemes Is to change the member
ship in the A. B. c. from club to in-
dividual holding. Another Il to raise
the salary Of the national secretary
$4,000. giving him an annual stipend Of
vote all his time to the tenpin game.
Abe Langtry Of Milwaukee Is the pres-
ent secretary.
A call was issued for the bowlers Of
St Louis. and they will elect delegates
to the national convention on Jan. q.
Each city is allowed one delegate for
every ten teams entered. st. Louis has
hopes of entering at least $50 fve-man
teams, giving her at least fifteen dele.
gates In this division. Twice that
many two-man teams will be repre-.
sented.
St Louis bowlers anticipate fight
from Chicago on this score. The st.
Louis tenpinners contend. however,
that should the membership scheme be
successful and a fee Of so cents be
charged each individual. half Of which
would go to the city association. the
revenue for the national would be
greatly increased. The present plan Is
to charge each club with an unlimited
50 entrance fee. A club
may have two or twenty members and
gain admittance to the national asso-
citation for 81. This is radically wrong.
the st. Louis bowlers contend.
1t is expected that St Louis will cast
a solid vote for the scheme, and the
Mound City may have the assistance
of Milwaukee and some of the eastern
cities. If the plan carries 1t will tend
to increase the membership in the na-
tional association, as many bowlers are
not members of clubs and therefore
cannot enter the big A B. c.
