by red ink. Every possible kind of
danger is shown and described
working under bad rock" making

shot," etc.
State inspectors report most of the
mine accidents are caused through ig-
norance or carelessness. The volume
is devised by the anthracite compa-
MES for educating the immigrants who
have come in such great numbers
from southern and eastern Europe and
have supplanted the English-speaking
miners. In addition to being dis
tributed among the Lackawanna en-
ployes copies of the book will be used
by the Y. NJ C. A. in its classes
throughout the anthracite region; and
it is expected that other companies
will use the photographs to supple
ment the instructions now given in
the mine workers schools.

Puzzle of Living.

Religionists chided about their ina

point out that they differ only in Incl
dentals and not essentials, whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science of living. A week
ago you would have died if you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm at all. One
variety says: Eat meat. lots Of it, to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals. laugh; il
makes the food digest" Others insist

ALAY HOLD AND HANG 0N''
history's Pages Are Full of Instances
of Men Who Have Missed the
Success That Was Their Due.
Because They Had Not
That Quality.

There was recently a terrific storm
IN the Newfoundland fishing banks
Scores OF vessels were driven onto
The rocks and hundreds Of fishermen
we're drowned Among the vessels
threatened with danger was Glou-
cester smack" which had sought
shelter in a small bay. For time
it had ridden safely at anchor but
the wind shifted, the waves dashed
over her, and she was in imminent
danger of being blown ashore. Sud
denly the capstan broke, releasing the
anchor chain. which began to come
out of the hold at almost lightning
speed Something had to be done and
done quickly. A young sailor took IN
the situation. "trigged" the chain,
took a bite" with it over the stan
chion and hung on. This young mans
prompt and intelligent action saved
the vessel.
This story well illustrates what
Henry Ward Beecher meant when, at
the close of an address 60 young men,
be said: Lay hold and hang on. :"
That is, lay hold of the idea that is
worth the effort, seize the opportunity
that promises success. grasp the
chance that will enable you to do
something toward making place for
yourself in this world-and hang on
to it.
Many a man has laid hold Of an
idea but has failed to hang on. Rich
ard Trevithick a Cornishman. built
the first locomotive, but George Ste
phe1son developed it and made 1t
the power it is in this world OF COM
munication and transportation. Ste
phenson deserves all the credit that
is given to him. Walter Hunt really
invented the sewing machine and had
| therein opportunity for making him
self q millionaire. but Elias Howe
seized the opportunity which Hunt
abandoned. and hung on to 1t, and
achieved the success that Hunt should
have at aimed. Philip Refs is the real
inventor of the telephone but had not
the courage to develop it, Alexander
Graham Bell took the chance and to-
day is given the credit for both fnven-
ton and development.
Illustrations might be multiplied of
men who got the idea. had the oppor-
tunity and the chance. and, to GER
tain degree, laid hold of them, but
failed to hang on. They failed to do
the most important thing-hang on.
And this is why Henry Ward Beecher
emphasized hang on, and why we en-
phasize it today. that those readers
of this paper who get an idea that Is
worth while. an opportunity for sue
cess. a chance to make a place for
themselves in this world. shall hang
on TO it and get the credit that should
be theirs.

KEEP THESE IN MIND
WISE MAxIMS FOR A MAN WITH

OF course, there are folks who are
really earning more money than they
are getting, but the average man hao
better lie low and hope that the Doss
won't find out how much more ne Is
getting than he is worth.
Don't look in books for examples OF
successful men. Choose man IN reai
life who has gained success by honor
able methods and follow his business
ideas. If success doesn't come In a
week, don't get discouraged; 1t may
come in a month

High Ideals in Business.

Two underlying principles of sue
cess are honesty and integrity. The
man whose word is as good as his
bond is a success. And there are
many such business men today. Ulti-
mate success in anything brings with
it the consciousness of duty well per
formed and the knowledge that you
have done no man harm. Contrary to
the belief Of many people, high ideals
in business and a close adherence TO
them are essential to success.
