The Captain of His Soul.


Nearly blind, partly paralyzed and
wholly helpless, Gen. Homer Lea, re-
Gently in command of the victorious
Chinese revolutionary army, is report
ed to be returning to the United
States. His ailments are not of re-
cent origin. AS a young man Homer
Lea was frail and understood.
Those who saw this lad few years
ago drilling companies Of Chinese
with broomsticks for rifles only laugh
ed at the grotesque sight. But he re-
fused to recognize his limitations. The
driving force within him urged him on
and made up for all deficiencies. So
through the force of an indomitable
personality he conquered more of life
than is usually given to even the bril-
liantly endowed man of fine physique.
Stone walls do not prison make, nor
iron bars cage. Neither does phys
lcal frailty bar q person from achieve
ment. Milton did his greatest work
after he had become blind. Beethoven
was deaf when he wrote the famous
Ninth Symphony. Spencer did his
work in spite of chronic invalidism.
Stevenson wrote under sentence of
exile to the South seas. The deaf,
dumb and blind Helen Keller has
made her life count.
Henley was right. A man is the
master of his fate and the captain Of
