Rudyard kipIins's Reaetionary View Of
tho Labor Prohlem.

Rudyard Kipling has written for the
July American Magazine a short story
based on the coal strike in England. which
presents with great force the reactionarv
attitude toward the labor movement. II
Is really a warning to labor and Is so DOM
mated by the editor of the American Mag
azine.. who frankly says that readers who
do not at all agree with MI. Kipling NAV
derive great benefit from the story in
that 1t presents the conservatives atti-
tude with extraordinary clearness.
In the story. which is laid in Hell. a
labor leader just descended into the lower
regions from England, where he has lost
his life as a result of the strike, tells his
hearers at great length Of the emendou
fight against capital and organized society
that he and his associates nave recently
Waged. At the conclusion OF the story the
Devil. winds up the discussion with the
startling announcement that England is
no longer to be in need Of coal. The idea
is that the labor unions nave pressed
their fight to such an extent that in-
ventive genius has come forward and har-
messed the tide to supply power in place
OF coal, thus relieving society Of the need
OF coal miners: The Devil ends his pro-
nouncement with the statement that these
!aDor leaders are therefore the benefac-
tors OF society in hat by going too far
IN their demands they have thus de-
stroyed themselves.
n story will undoubtedly promote a
gIeat zeal OF discussion, and naturally it
Will md warm critics and defenders.

Held at Bay BY Prayer.
From Hearst's Magazine.

Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus is fond
OF telling an incident in the college life Of
the late General Benjamin F. Butler.
Several students at Colby developed q
~fondness for the shop signs Of Waterv.lle,
and the merchants finally placed the mat
ter in the hands OF the law. One night
shortly after this the boys pulled up a
BARRIERS pole and secreted It in young
Buffers room. But the officers were no.
tilted and Immediately began to search the
building. It was a time of religious re-
vival and student prayer meetings were
being held on different floors. Young But
Ter saw his chance.
"N nave it. he suddenly exclaimed.
shutting the door Of his wood stove and
opening the hampers. Pray. boys. good
y and keep 1t up while ! whittle.'
fervent prayers from within they rever-
emily waited for their close. AS the flames
from h last splinter roared mp the chim-
ney, Buffers tones closed the meeting:
"Oh. Lord: We know that . wicked and
perverss generation seeketh for a sign:
save that Of the prophet JONAH"

SEVENTH - BE A GOOD
LOAFER.

I also want you to go from college a
good combination OF a good worker
and a good loafer. To be able to loaf
well is not a bad purpose of an edu-
cation. The loafing that carries along
with itself the freedom from SELFISH
ness, appreciation Of others conditions,
and gentlemanliness is worth COM
mending. Loafing tina follows hard
work and prepares for hard work is
n of h best equipments of a man.
Loafing that has no object. loafing as
a vocation, should be despised.
To save time, take time in large
pieces. Do not cut time up into bits.
Adopt the principle Of continuous
work. The min is like a locomotive.
It requires time for getting under
Roadway. Under Roadway it makes it's
own steam. Progress gives force as
force makes progress. Do not slow
down as long as you run well and
without undue waste. Take advantage
of momentum. Prolonged thinking
leads to profund thinking.

Facing the Enemy's Fire.
From the New York Press.

A member Of ongress from the south,
who saw service in the cOnfederacy, in
discussing the question SO often put to
old soldiers, Were you frightened?" re-
phases Of human nature brought put by
military service.
He tells of n of his comrades who
was a coward at home, at school and in
camp, but in battle wa one of the bravest
of men. Elsewhere this man would re-
into any personal conflict, and that not
from any principle, but from pure cow
ardice. In battle he was the calm. brave
embodiment Of the fighting spirit.
for half an hour after a musket ball had
torn his foot to pieces. yet he made no
sign, uttered no complaint, but fought
like the splendid soldier he was, until his
pallor attracted attention. Then only in
response to anxious inquiries. he told of
his wound n of the agony it was giving
him.
Another queer fellow was perhaps the
best armed man in the confederate army.
Besides his gun he carried two splendid
cavalry pistols and a murderous looking
bowie knife incased in a silver scabbard.
Of men on the slightest p~rovocation. Yet
this man never fired a shot at the enemy
IN all his four years service; nor did he
permit the enemy to fire at him If he
could prevent 1t.
On the battle field he was an unobtru-
sive, constitutional coward. Occasionally
he talked of his infirmity with those
whom he liked. 1t such times he freely
admitted he h.1d not a spark of moral
courage or personal pride when he heard
impossible for him to remain within the
danger line on such occasions. To have
compelled him to face the enemy would
have caused his death from simple fright.

In the assessment Of academic vail
ues. give a high place to sound health.
One may be sick and through sick
and through sickness become a sinner.
But one cannot be sick and at the
same time be as good a worker as he
would be If he were not sick. Good
workers the world needs, and therefore
men Of first rate health the world

First-That you sleep eight hours.
Second-Exercise at least half an
hour each day in the gymnasium.

method of training the man physical.

A GENTLEMAN,

OF course you are, and, of course,
you will be one. 1t is the creation of
the gentleman as well as OF the thinker
the personal equation counts. In fact,
it counts more in the making of the
gentleman. For in this making truth
is less important than the personality.
In order to open the eyes of the
heart, in ORDER to create an intellectual
consciousness. the study of great liter
atures must be assigned a high place.
Constant n complex needs to be such
study. Literature represents human
ity. The humanities are humanity.
Literature is style and style is the man.
The gentleman as a project represents
the homeopathic principle. The gentle
man makes the gentleman.
AS a gentleman you will be a friend
and will have friends. In this rela-
ton of friendship in its earlier stages
there is no part of life in which it is
more important for you to exercise the
virtue to make friends. Friendships
are groWths, not manufactures.
