POWER
By GILBERT HUBBARD.

ANY person, in any walk OF life, who
puts Jealousy, hate and fear out of
his life VIII ba distinguished All good
things shall be his. They will flow
to him.
Power gravitates TO the man who
can use 1t. and love in the highest
form OF power that exists.
IL ever n man shall live who has
infinite power he win be found to be-
one who has INFINITE love.
Tho way TO free yourself from dis
cord Ia not to take a grip on your
self and strive TO be kind--not that.
Just don't think much about II. but
lose yourself In your work. IL your
intent is right your action will be
also.
Hell and heaven are not localities
they are states of mind.
Once We thought work curse: then
1t came to US that 1t was q necessary
evil; and yesterday the truth dAwned
upon US that 1t IL a precious privi-
lese. There il more joy in useful
effort than in the palnstakinE avoid
ance of 1t.
Creeping into the lives OF men every
where IL the thought that CO. operation
Is better than competition. We need
each other, and by giving much will
receive much.
That old maxim. Cast thy bread
upon the waters is founded on a stern
psychologist law, Everything we give
out comes back to ua. Give out love,
and love returns. To grasp and grab
and seize is to lose
We are reaching enlightened self
interest. And 80 there il q strong
setting Of the social tide toward use-
full effort and the elimination Of the
parasite. This through the knowledge
that We can thrive through service,

Everywhere schools and colleges are
doing things: not merely talking about
them. The education de luxe--tlle edu-

education will lie in it's possessor's
ability to serve.
Do not 80 out Of your way to do

of doing good to others are apt to hate

PUT BEAUTY
INTO YOUR LIFE
Selected by EDWIN MARKHAM

Dr. Orison SWEET Marden is one Of
the leading teachers of the times, a
man who is pouring optimism into the
restless life OF the modern world. Here
ia a passage from his last volume,
Self Investment,
Whatever our vocation, We should
resolve that We will not strange all
that In finest and noblest in us for .he
sake OF the dollar. but that We will
put beauty into our life at every OPP
portunity.
Just in proportion to your love for
the beautiful vii you acquire its
charms and develop It's graces. The
beauty thought, the beauty ideal. will
outpicturo themselves in the face and
manner. II you are I'm love with
beauty you Will be an artist Of some
kind. Your profession may he to
make the home beautiful and sweet or
you may work at a trade; but what
ever your vocation. II you are In love
with the beautiful IL will purify your
taste. elevate and enrich our life. and
make you true artist instead Of a
mere artisan.
There is no doubt that In the flu
ture beauty will play AN Infinitely
greater Part in civilized life than 1t
has thus far, 1t is becoming CONNER
oalized everywhere. The trouble with
us Is that the tremendous material
prizes In this land Of opportunity are
80 tempting that we have lost sight
of the higher man We have devel-
oped ourselves along the animal side
Of our nature-the greedy. grasping
side. The great majority of us are
still lying in the basement or our be-
ings Now ana then one ascends TO

the upper stories and gets q glimpse
OF the life beautifuI--the life worth
while.
There Is nothing on earth that will
so slake the thirst of the soul az the
beauty which expresses itself in
sweetness and light.
AN old travelling man relates that
once when on trip to the West ne
sat next TO an elderly lady who every
now and then would lean out of the
open window and pour some thick salt
1T seemed to hini--from bottle.
When she had emptied the bottle she
would refill 1t from a handbag.
"A friend to whom this man re-
lated the incident told him he was ac-
ouainted with the lady. who was
great lover OF flowers and an earnest
follower of the precept Scatter your
flowers ms you go, for you may never
travel the same road again He said
that she added greatly to the beauty
of the landscape along the railroads
on which she travelled by her custom
OF scattering flower seeds along the
track as she rode. Many roads have
thus been beautiful and refreshed by
this old lady's love Of the beautiful
and hereffort to scatter beauty wher-
ever she went
IF we could all cultivate a love
OF the beautiful and scatter beauty
seeds as We go through life what a
paradise this earth would become'
What n splendid opportunity A
vacation In the country offers to put
beauty into the life; to cultivate the
aesthetic faculties. which in most peo-
ple is like going into Gods great gal
lery of charm and beauty. They 'ind
in the landscape, the valley the noun
tains, the fields, the meadows. the
flowers. the streams. the brooks and
the rivers, riches that no money can
buy; beauties that would enchant the
angels. But thrs beauty and glory
cannot be bought; they are only for
those who can see them. appreciate
them, who can read their message and.
respond TO their affinity,
'Have you ever felt the marvellous
power Of beauty in nature? II not
you have missed one Of the most
exquisite Joys OF life,

top Of the mountain I caught

Falls and the surrounding scenery
Just as the sun broke through the
