worth while. and Of keeping at them

This is intended to make IT clear
why you should read Carlyle, at least
a little, If you have not already done
so.

Carlyle's English is rugged: so is his
common sense. The best way to judge
a man is to note what he has 70 say
about a subject with which you are
somewhat familiar.
Let US assume that YOU work for a
living; that you know what Work
means; what work is for; what a MN
gains by work. With this knowledge
at your disposal read Carlyle's opinion
about work and see IL he knows what
he is talking about. II you find that
he does, YOU may then be led TO read
others OF his writings
Here follows the long and short Of
his opinion on work:
I. Work is noble and sacred
2. Just so long as a man works
earnestly there is hope for him.
8. If you want to get at the truth
OF things. get work done.
4. The only blessing man COR
woman needs is TO find the best

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Representa-
tive 4Adamson, chairman of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce. is pushing his resolution pro-
vidins for an investigation of the so
called shipping trust, including an in
quiry into Panama canal conditions
This resolution probably will be
adopted. and it will mean probing into
the relations Of the railroads with tile
Pacific Mail and the proposal to give
the Pacific Mail a monopoly Of steam
ship business through the canal.
X. r. schwerin is working hard
against any plan that will prevent the
railroads from controlling ships going
through the canal lie is reported to
have said that the Pacific Mail proposes
to borrow $4,000, 900 for the constrnc-
ton of four is knot steamers for trans
Pacific trade, which might be used in
the Panama trade also.
lie threw out the threat that Wall
street would not lend this money If
congress should prohibit railroad
owned steamers from using the canal.
Members of the committee are anx-
ious to know just how far the railroads
are trying to control the canal and ii
is said by them that the bill regulating
tolls will surely contain provision
preventing such control.

BEIRUT, Feb. 25.-Martial law was
proclaimed here today, although all is
quiet within the town. Not less than
90 persons were killed and 100 wounded
during the bombardment by the Italian
warships Saturday.
The arrival Of the Italians early
Saturday was followed by an immediate
demand for the surrender or the de-
struefion of two Turkish torpedo boats
lying III the harbor.
The demand was refused promptly
and after short delay the Italians
opened fire, the shells causing great
damage. Three torpedoes finally de-
stroyed the Turkish vessels. The Turks
fought Bravely, but were at great
disadvantage. as they were unable to
maneuver their vessels, and their guns
were of small caiiber.
During the fighting in the harbor a
mob looted the government arsenal and
seized rifles and ammunition. One
shell burst close to an American build
ing, but injured no one All Ameri-
cans in the city are safe.
