N OF long ago two brothers from rura
M Kansas went to Chicago to win for
tunes. Each started TO work on
salary Of $40 a week. The Oldest
and best educated got a Job In the
ONCE of a real estate firm, while the younger
man went to work for contracting nrIn'
At the end Of two years the older brother
was getting SIS a week as real estate
salesman, while the other youth was earn
ing SIS a week as teamster for the contrae-
tor.
During the next six months the younger
brother boughta team and wagon and started
a small business Of his own, doing special
teaming work. moving household furniture,
hauling lumber, dirt. cordvood, or anything
that afforded employment for himself and
his horses.
The older brother remained with the real
estate firm as salesman and looked forward
TO a future far superior to that Of his
"teamster brother. as he called him.
The young man in the teaming business
was his own boss-he worked when he had
an opportunity, but he was all the time
working for himself, solving his own future.
After six months he had saved enough money
20 buy another wagon and team OF hbrses.
and then is when his real business started.
He hired an assistant a young man fresh
from the farm. who knew all about horses
ard hard work.

Motor Part of Life.

The motor or motion part OF life Is al
most ali there 10 to hfe for the larger part
Of humanity It is the life Of the child in
his play, OF the college boy In his games.
and "even the highest and most developed
forms Of mental activity, motor ideas and
representations are by far the most pre-
dominant" says DR.. Boris sidis. the eminent
psychologist and physician.
DR.. sidis says. moreover. that through
out the sea Ie of animal life, from the lowest TO
the highest forms. intelligence Is intimately
related to the degree OF development OF the
muscular system and TO the delIcacy ofthe
motor adjustments.
when we come to man we cannot help
admlrtrg the high complexity and extreme
deiicacy of the motor adjustments. Most mar
velouA. however. r. the human hand, thae
divine organ which gives shape and form
to works OF art. to all outward visible mani
festatIons of civilization. The artists and
thinkers of antiquity held the hand in great
veneration."
/Dr. Sldis gives such simple practical ex-
ampIes of the part motor activities play IN
mental life as that so well known concerning
the greater ease In remembering words and
facts or syIlables and numbers IL they are
written down. The motor elements are so
important In mental life as really TO form the
very nucleus OF consciousness. Children
learn best by acting out what is taught them.
and the world 10 full Of examples OF Inn
povertshed mental processes because OF
lowered motor activity.
DR.. sidss goes 30 far as to say that motor
consciousness is at the very heart OF per-
sonaIity. We are what we accomplish. Ex-
treme variability and adaptability OF re-
actions TO environment are the main charac-
teristic traits OF intelligence. VIII person

Muscles Are Factors.

The muscle takes a very high rank In our
organism. This Is one reason why its abuse
Is 30 dangerous. Another reason IS ex-
pressed In the warning given by a great
physician concerning this abuse. He says:
Muscular tissue is the only tissue In the
body which Is under the direct control Of our
will, as implied in its name voluntary
muscle. You may order your stomach to
serve certain quality and favor OF gas
trio juice, or your liver to secrete a GER
tain color Of bile. and keep on ordering, with
out as much result as whiStling down the
wind You have absolutely no control over
your heart beat. But you can order
practically any voluntary muscle In your
body to contract. and It springs TO your
service at once, and will keep on obeying
until II fails from sheer exhaustion. II Is on
this account that the muscular system Is so
peculiarly defenseless and Liable to abuse
because IT Is under the win. or reason, In
stead OF instinct. A man cannot add a cubit.
or even an inch. 10 bis height by taking
thought. but he can Increase the girth of his
bieeps or the expansion OF bis chest. Muscle
Is the one tissue through which q man can
directly modify and change his body"
great servant. almost wholly subject to
discipline, the muscle Is entirely at themercy
Of the man without sense or Judgment. It Is
often as much abused by the worker as IT Il
by the man who dlssipates his energies in
riotousness and excess. There Is no limit
to what We can impose on the muscle, short
OF utter exhaustion. but there is fairly
definite limit to the food We can consume to
build 1t up. We listen when the stomach
says enough. II We have any sense. but It
has been considered virtue to ignore the
cry OF am tired" when 1t Is the muscle
that cries.
