THE FAMILY OF NOBODIES-By Dr. w. E. Euans

person, who lived hidden life" from whom inspiration was derived
 Napoleon, whose military genius and liar flung battle lines,' astonshed the civilized world, attributed all his achieve ments to his obscure Corsican mother. Wellington ascribed the conquest at Wa terioo to the tutors and teachers of Rug by, whose names no man can now tell offhand Glorious was the personality of Washington from the days of Braddock to the surrender of the British on the bluffs of old Yorktown but the military greatness of the great man was secondary to the greatness of his character, and this was stamped upon him by the hid den life' of his devoted mother. Recall the names of our most conspicuous men who figured in the wars of the 60s-Lee, Jackson, Johnston, Wade Hampton and others. It detracts not an iota from the glory of their gallantry to say that, in the old days back of them there existed social and domestic life creative of quality of civilization that naturally generated the sentiments of patriotism, honor and dauntless heroism that were excited and fostered by the stately men and queenly women whose gracious lives adorned the old homes of our dear south ern country.
 Lord Beaconsfield once said, "It is the private life that governs the world" It is true. For IL IS the prlvate Ire that sends forth kings among men; be they uncrowned, nevertheless, they are kings. And in the private life live the hid den lives" the family of "Nobodies," It is there that the first impressions are made. It is there that the belt is buckled and the sword-sash knotted for the bat tie.
 I saw play at one of our theatres while back It had reference to the war between the states. A young woman, in the drama, said to young man about to go to the wars, ''The men always fight better when they know their sweethearts are watching their careers Tt is true in a still broader sense. Thoughts of home. of loved ones there, of gentle sweethearts, of the lives hidden in the obscurity of quiet domestic life, are incentives to fn- vincible courage. Thus do the "Nobodies" inspire the hearts and nerve the arms o. the men at the front to strike for their altars and their fires"
 It is true of the battle of life. There Is many man saved from dishonor. com mercial ruin and social disaster by quiet.

TN an age of machinery. where to
 amass and build seems the largest
 end of society, it Is well to have the = calm word of the scholar to at least ap- proximate values of what we are pleased to call success It Is well to have on our library shelves analysts like Henry George, Maurice Maeterlinck. H. G. Wells linen who have found time out of the ,fume and stress to question and wonder about the revolutions of groups of men. And while the sage may not at all time, enunciate truths that will serve all units of society, he stil. approximates what may be termed near-truths for man as he is ay-half-truths that may be .uti- mate truths as the years advance.
 The teaching of Karl Marx that land Is a natural gift just as air and water are natural gifts. may in a fashion illustrate this point Nine-tenths of the civilized world know, or call. this proposition in- cendiary. anarchistic. And it is, to the degree that 1t strikes boldly at a belief ages old-a belief that has been cherished as truth through centuries, But 1t may yet come to pass that through communis- tic experiments. cooperative sharing end cultivation of industries and lands. some problems may be solved that sorely vex us now. ..l >.

newspaper man concerning Chief Jus tice White of the supreme court.
 It is love story
 Years ago when MT. White was a young law student at Louisville he did not look the man he has become. He was verdant, awkward, self conscious, but. there was a certain something about him that bespoke strong char acter
 He fell in love with one of the beau ties of the city and was accepted White told his sweetheart they must wait until he could get foothold in business.
 Enter another suitor.
 The latter was rich and the scion of one of the leading families. The girl threw White over and married the wealthy young man.
 Which nearly broke Whites heart, though in the end it made man of him.
 White became great lawyer and went to the Senate from Louisiana. President Cleveland made him jus tice of the supreme court, and later President Taft promoted him to be chief justice, a position esteemed by some as higher than that of president. Again the whirligig of time brought

flown, still blessed are the roads and highways of the Holy Land because of One who lived down by the side of the road and was the Friend of man! Out of the common experience of our American life has been coined, in the vernacular of the street, an expression that contains much of philosophy. The saying is:
 Keep still and saw wood" Tn physics you find the striking force of a moving body by multiplying the ve- locity by the weight In terms of human life you get the force of man by null tiplying his ability to do by his ability to keep still and walt.
 Keek still.
 When the foundations of the great deep beneath you seem broken up and the waves of adverse fate threaten to over whelm you it may be hard to do. but
 Keep still.
 There is nothing to be gained by crying out. Spare the indifferent world a recital of your griefs. Keep your head and con serve your strength to save what may be saved from the wreck of your hopes.

~ BERAMMERGAU, where the Pas

yXYyHAT is your idea of success?
 A/ Do you think it consists in w achievement, in accomplishing


 things?
 Success Is more than achievement. You may accomplish things by accident, be- cause of favorable conditions, by forces outside of yourself Success is more than that.
 Success lies in purpose.
 Success is in doing one's best.
 For instance. there is little woman in her tiny kitchen drawing her Satur- days baking from thes oven. She looks longingly out of the window at the fine lady in her carriage passing by. The world thinks-and the little woman feels-that the fine lady has made suc- cess.
 But s. The woman in the carriage may be neither successful nor happy, while the little woman may be both.
 The woman who does her daily task. who rears her children in habits of honest endeavor and who supplies the world with an example of a. pure and patient wife and mother. has made success Her purpose is right, and she mas done her best
 There is the young man who stays on the farm and helps father pay off the mortgage while his brother goes to col iege. Has the faithful stay at home made a failure?
 No
 However rich or famous the college brother may become, he will never score greater success in life than he who made the success.
 Success is more than achievement. The "old maid" who has stayed and taken care of the old folks at home. who has refused her lovers sti1ed her desire for an education and been faithful to her duty as daughter, must be mum bered not with the failures. M The world really owes more to the quiet, eacrifcial workers than to the noisy clamorers for publicity.
 Like the base Indian who threw away the pearl worth more than all his tribe, many self centered, so called success ful one has thrown away the real riches of life to hug to his bosom the hollow delusions which the world misnames suc- cess.
 Ignoble success is no more than suc- cessful failure.
 Tgnobie failure is successful failure.
 Noble failure may be success. Only noble success is successful sue cess.

Look Out for Rabbits.

urging farmers to plant sofa or soy
beans in the place of cow peas.
The writer tried these beans few
years ago when we planted three
acres. The beans their best
to grow b"t the rabbits kept them
eat down as fast as they could grow
and we lost our seed labor and crop.
If you have rabbits better let soy
beans alone. We have grown COW
peas for some time, and they have
never yet disappointed us, When
properly cared for they make the
finest feed to be raised, and they
will grow on our poorest land where
it is not too wet, but their growth

tie has just started when he
graduates. Never let him get 1t
into his head that an education
eliminates him from toll. The

that each high school should
have an agricultural department,
