rich talent there goes a certain dlsdainfuL
generosity which can turn its hand to any

but very great poets can write to order"
Here is Implied the reason why the great
man is not Jealous. He can do anything he
wants to a.. The little man cannot. He can
do a certain thing, and is, therefore. forever
fearful that some one selse's certain thing
may be better or more acceptable than what
he does.
Jealousy is the trait of the smaller. Of the
smallest man. and OF the masses Of men, but
a man may consciously and determinediy
raise himself above that class by reasoning

in power and usefulness without exercise, 30
bad traits without exercise gradually lose
their potency.
The stronger q man Is the more dreadful
are the effects OF his jealousy upon others
and ultimately upon himself. Strong men
seldom pull well together. One or all are
Jealous. though each will surely find some
other reason for what he does than this. An
English business magazine. called The Or
ganizer, In discussing recently the reorgani-
zation OF a certain great company. showed
that such a company, II made up OF too
strong men," will almost surely come to
period of disruption and. consequently. Of re-
organization. Il says:
Dominant men, unless they are very, very
wise, do not always run well In double har-
ness Unless they start with very clearly
defined duties land strong men hate limits
they are likely to pull very hard in different
ways. When a strong personality wants a
thing, he wants It very badly. and he does
all he can to get II When two men have
only one barrow between them, and each
wants to push It a different way, the barrow
is likely to get a bad time without moving

Venture Into Matrimony Merry"
The year 1887 was eventful In the life OF
Sol" Levitan. He married. which. as he
explains. was a Merry thing to do. and then,
after all his money had been spent, he opened
up a general store In New Glaurus. backed
by little capital. but by a lot OF nerve and in
dustry.
Shortly after Levitan discovered that IL he

through Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West
Virginia would not avail him The district
about New Glaurus was then thiclSly settled
with immigrants from Switzerland and Nor

to pick up the language according TO a

partly because his children were approaching

later he was IN position to open another de-

Literary Men Jealous.

The third man particularly warned me TO
take with a grain OF salt, because of profess
sIonal jealousies, what these men and their
sort thought of one far more brilliant than
any of them, one whom report said was in a
madhouse, prior to which time he had been
to the direst poverty. The fourth said of one
OF the greatest literary men of our day, The
trouble with him is that he is writing innita-
lions Of himself
Literary men and artists have the reputa-
ton of being of particularly Jealous turn OF
mind, but If we notice what one man says Of
another engaged in exactly the same bust
ness as himself he will be likely TO speak
somewhat deprecatingly OF the other, or a
bit patronizingly, or he will say he must
reserve criticism in such a way as TO imply
worlds. A doctor OF repute, in general con-
versation not long ago. made the remark
that when Cooke announced that he had dis
covered the pole he believed that he lied, for
Nc other reason than because he was a doc
ter. Perhaps few Of the profession would
speak so freely, and perhaps this doctor
would not have made the statement had he
been in the presence of those Of his profess
sion.
1t is almost unbelievable that men are 80
JEALOUS of each other as they really are, yet
* is a very human fact. although the trait is
So ignoble. When we have found a strong
man absolutely without jealousy We have
found one of the noblest men OF the earth.
The man without jealousy is both OF the noble
and the fortunate Natural gifts have
raised him above the common run Of hui
rnanity, with its petty jealousies. His great
qualities have annihiIated the small ones.
He has such a sense Of security in himself
that he has no sense or need Of envying any
body He lives in a world that is entirely and
beautifully his own, world so big and broad
and absorbing that anything outside 1t may
seem quite unreal to him. He is hard to de-
scribe, he is so unlike the common run Of
humanity.
Such a man was the fifth literary man.
This man is indeed so securely established
il his own world, which is in large measure
Just his great noble nature, that he is whole
suns above petty jealousies. He has no sense
Of being thwarted or hindered by any man.
great or small He is not jealous Of any man.
because there is no man for him to be jealous
OF, 80 secure is he in his own efficiency. Petty
human traits, which may be compared to the
sharp but tiny claws Of the animal, have been
forever shrouded in the great velvet kind
ness OF his heart-and this because his abil-
ity is so great.

\ ever so high ideals of behavior, but
wv IL we are practical people we must
always realize and take account Of
the inevitable human weaknesses
of mankind In laying out our own lines Of
conduct. We may build all the Utopias We
please In our imaginations. We may think
wisely, act nobly. and do the best we can,
but we ought never forget that others may
not have the same stimulus or encourage
ment or power Of will TO behave in the best
ways that we have. 1t is our business to adj
lust ourselves to our surroundings not only
in such way as TO lessen the manifestations
Of our own fraIlties but so as TO prevent the
natural weaknesses Of others from holding
US back in our best and highest endeavors
Such talk as this may sound very pharisa-
Ical. though much depends upon how 1t is
said. Let US consider but one Of the great
human fraflties with this idea generally in
mind. No one can doubt that there is a colos-
sal amount Of jealousy in the world. Jeal-
ousy is, to be sure, an animal trait but It is
really the animal traits in US that give us
the most trouble and bring the most sorrow
to other people. As the animal necessities
are our prime necessities, so are the animal
traits the primal traits.

as we suppress his natural destructiveness.
1t is an instinct which the wise Will take &C

pie are people to be handled with gloves.
