Ego.

An ego is a Latinized /. All men
are created egos and endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable some
things of which neither statute, ukase,
edict, injunction, beggar, magnate,
book agent nor promoter can deprive
them. He who steals my purse steals
trash, but he who filches from me my
ego takes that of which he already
has enough and makes me not at all.
Women without votes have egos
and, strangely enough, would still
have them If they secured the votes;
hence egos are not political issue.
An ego is what a man is when he
has nothing and is nothing else; that
is to say, he is then first person singu'
lar and no particular genderf
An ego is neither soul, Id ~, spirit,
family, country nor race. neither
moral nor pathological. A q ninal has
just as much ego as a parson and no
more. Some egos are better than
others, chiefly our own.-Life.

JOHNSTON CHOSEN
Moline Boy to Be Valedictorian
of Augustana College
Glass of 1911.
HAS HIGHEST AVERAGE
Maintains His Standing Despite an
Illness That Has Confined Him
for Past Two Months.

To Arnold V. Johnston of Moline has
fallen the honor of being chosen vale
dictorian of the class of 1911 of Au.
| gustana college. Mr. Johnston is the
son of DR. L. A. Johnston, pastor OF
the First Lutheran church of Moline.
DR. Johnston is also president of the
! board of directors of Augustana col
! lege.
| The class left the matter of choos-
! ing the valedictorian to the college
| faculty-the one having the best av-
erage to be named for this high honor
In computing the averages OF the class
it was found that Johnston stood high
est. his average for his college career
being a fraction over 80 per cent.
During the past two months Mr.
Johnston has been confined to his
home because of a severe attack of
typhoid fever He is now on his way
20 recovery, and it is expected that in
the course Of 10 days he will again
take up his work as q student at Au-
gustana. Although it has been clearly
evident that Johnston would be award
ed this high honor, 1t was thought that
his somewhat protracted illness would
interfere materially with his standing,
but the character OF his previous work
was of such a high grade that he was
able TO overcome that great handicap.
IN HIS EIGHTH YEAR
Johnston entered Augustana in the
fall of 1903. when he became a mem
Der of the first class IN the academy.
Ever since that time he has steadily
continued his studies at Augustana,
having been a member of his class
from the very first

When they first began to criti-

1t so well have used several pack

am gaining in weight and feeling
fine
Since using GrapeNuts have
talked with several people about
them and they all think as do. that
they are the best breakfast food on
the market today
so in this case a knock is a
boost with those who use Grape

TO KEEP RECORDS
New Bureau for Employees to
Be Established by Rock
Island Road Feb. /.
WILL AID IN PROMOTIONS
Character and Ability of Every Per.
son Working for Corporation
Will Be Registered.

A system by which the personal rec
ord of every employee at present in the
service and by which the record of all
prospective employees will be secured.
is to be inaugurated by the Rock Island
road the first of next month.
A personal record bureau, in con-
junction with the pension bureau OF
the road, will at that time be es-
tablished, and through it, every
road official will have at his COM
mand the record of each man en-
ployed by the road in the various
departments. And 80 it will be pos
sible to ascertain thorough knowl-
edge of the ability and capacity of
each employee. It will be of great
benefit in determining promotion
and putting the employees on the
pension list.
CHARACTER AND CAPACITY.
Immediately after this system goes
into effect all of the officials will be
required to keep a record of the
character and length of service of
those now in the employ or here
after employed by the company.
They will be required to investi-
gate the record of applicants for
employment with foreign lines and
the information secured will be re-
ported to the employment agent.
The department secretary is w.
B. Ross, who is also secretary of the
pension bureau. He will, under the
new arrangement, have the secre-
taryship of both departments.

never heard of a coward yet
Who faced his trouble with a grin.
A coward I have never met,
Who smiled and kept lifted chin,
I've seen men battered down by fate,
And fettered by grim circumstance.
Who merely grinned and said, Just
wait,
Some day I'll get another chance"
:
He may go down unto defeat,
And drink his bitter cup Of gall,
He may be begging in the street,
But If his smile outlives it all,
If he can grin and say TO you;
Some day 1 will be up there yeti"
Although he's beaten black and blue,
He's no coward, you can bet
A brave man loses many fights,
A coward loses only one;
An easy win his soul delights,
But with one. loss his hope is gone,
Knocked down, the brave mans up
again,
Undaunted, though again he's kicked
Until he takes the count of ten,
The man who grins is never licked.
