CHANGE LAWS OF IMMIGRATION.

sting immigration laws Ac in
some respects brutal, ana at
Ellis island. IL not elsewhere. they
have too often been brutaHy enforced.
The hardships that have been imposed
upon ignorant immigrants. whose only
fault has boen their ignorance, has
been a disgrace to America, and the
change IN the laws cannot be made too

Some individuals ter instance are on
the line to Gl0omViIle. Their thoughts
are becoming set i'll sad grooves. The
burdens OF life so Cypress them that
melancholy is becoming almost habit.
They practically lose the power 10
smile. Life, which at best is a sui
flciency Of serious business, becomes for
them ii very sonlber business with
weeping skies above and around.
What such traveller needs IS
transfer shift of almost any KIND
that can break the spell of such
thoughts and turn life into a more
lopeful channel A comparative ely lit
tie thing will sometimes do the work.
The old time doctors used to prescribe
"simples'' or natures herbs for the all
ments of the body. And disorders of
the mind are often alleviated by means
SO unpretentious that they are over
looked. The genial Sydney Smith said:
II once gave a lady two and twenty
receipts against melancholy: one was
bright fire: another, to remember all
the pleasant things said to her; an
other, to keep a box Of sugar plums on
the chimney piece and a kettle sim
merine on the hob Surely any such
simple creature comforts must be re-
garded as blessings when they can
turn the scale against melancholy and
minister 10 happiness and contented
mind.
Aud they need transfer who are
on the line running to Feartown. 1t

blamed for thinking our faith makes
US whole.
Few of these self made men ever
appear to realize that little outside
help would have been of marked ad-
vantage to them Those who cannot
lay claim to having performed such a
ponderous task can see wherein the
self-made are at disadvantage. 1t
is greatly to a persons credit to have
succeeded in the face of all the condi-
tions of adversely; and while he has
missed something which adorns the
more fortunate, there is no doubt he
has gained a confidence in himself
when they know not of. I like the
self made man best who keeps his
pride in his boots where he can walk
on it; and who treats his conceit as
if it were a yellow dog. l like the
cultured man who realizes his power,
but who banks little upon his own
importance. There is human level
which is just glorious because there
are no chasms in it. The same quality
which spoils a self-made man spoils
the man who derides him.

popular cream among men, espe-
clally young men, is that they are GO
ing to strike it rich some day. Some
think they win do it by luck. and some
oy marriage, and few by orderly and
persistent work. These last are the
men who show the greatest percentage
OF success There is really only one
honorable way to get money in this
world, and that is to earn it; and this
IS the way fewest fortunes are made.
The speculative means for accumulat-
ing money are honorable if they are
kept within the bounds of justice and
honor; but the haste to accumulate.
the temptation to take advantage Of
the lack OF knowledge of others, or to
violate law, and the greed which says:
ANY price the pubic can pay or be
made to pay is a fair price, has put
Under suspicion all speculative methods
g making money. The only way to
strike ii rich is to have the know
le'fge, the capacity and the application
to bring !arge returns for valuable SER
vices.

There are few people who are so
FOND of having their own way that they
get confirmed in the idea that there is
no other way; and when they see any
thing being done in a way they never
thought of they are sure to inform one
that isn't the way to do that; and to
Immediately instruct the other party
how to do it. They are real good folks
and would feel grieved if anyone ven
tured to call them butters-in; for they
have no realization Of the fact they are
chronic interferers But what a nuis-
ance they are to those who like to do
things in their own way, even if there
are a hundred other and perhaps bet
ter ways of doing it. It is a good thing
to remember that the pleasure of do
Ing things rests principally upon our
own ability to conceive how it may be
done and then doing it without free
suggestions. 1t is not everybody who
can be grateful for assistance they
never asked for.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

To make 1912 a year of achieve
ments every man must begin with
himself How he. treats himself de-
ternines what progress he Is to make
for, IL through any excess he imp4ns
himself physically or mentally his
prospects of attainment are blighted.
He must respect the laws of his being
breathe right, eat right, drink right
and sleep right, or the chances of
success are against him. 1t Is folly
to be blind to the requirements of an
orderly life, and to plan for a success
full one. Most of the failures in life
are due to just such misconceptions
Of the path of progress as this. How
to live Alright is what the masses are
too ignorant of, and it accounts for the
excessive mortality in the nation and
the prevalence of preventahle diseases.
When man was commanded to know
himself the root Of all attainment was
pointed out to him; but somehow he
thinks ii is better to know the other
fellow. The only way TO do great
things is to make ones self equal to
performing them
We learn to walk step by step, and
then we are trained day by day. first
in the formalities Of the physical man,
and then in the art and science of the
mental man, and then in the purity
| and nobility Of the spiritual man; and
| in this last estate We stand as con-
| scious sons of God. This is not
! accomplished in a minute, for it is
| what the Almighty intended should
| compass human life; and it requires
| individual activity and persistence.
These three estates do not belong to
| the lazy for they seldom compass the
first two. God is never guilty of pre-
| tending to give something for moth
| ing--it belongs wholly to man to do
that, and he gets rich while pretending
to DO it. ALI the good things In life
are worth striving for; and the re-
wards are sure and ample for those
who constantly show their faith by
their works. A large part of the world
does not appear to know faith with
out works is dead.
| do not know whether the hypoc-
riches Of life ever cause a ripple
in the pool of thought which mirrors
your mind or not; but I know it does
