Heart toHeart

he PAID THE PRICE.
By JAMES A. EDCERTON

On Observation hill, near the edge
Of the antarctic continent. members Of
the polar expedition headed by Cap
tain Robert e. Scott, set up a memo
nal cross for their fallen leader and
his brave companions. On it appears
this fine line from Tennyson's "Ulys-
ses:''
TO strive. to seek. to find. and not
to yield"
Captain SCOTS fate was peculiarly
sad one He reached the south pole
to discover that another had preceded
him there by scant month He re-
turned to a point nearly in sight of
the harbor to die of cold and privation
Yet mournful as was his end there
shines out of it certain white glory.
We feel glad in big way not that
he died. but that be lived
We feel glad that he dared take
large risks to win a large prize. that
he was not afraid to pay the price.
that he kept up his records to the end.
and that he met his fate like man.
He strove. he sought. he found and
did not yield. "a

texture Of humanity. so dependent
each on all and all on each. that one
great deed becomes the property and
pride Of all Of us. A new standard has
been set: new incentive is before US.

There IL but one true basis for d.
Their wealth or fame.
Il IL service.
ANY wealth we gain for which we
have not rendered an equivalent serv.
ice b tainted.
Any fame we enjoy that has not
been earned BY service u false fame
that viii turn to dispraise.
The Greatest Of the Great said he
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister.
His life was one Of service.
The old motto Of the nobility was
Sch dep" q serve,.
The first meaning of service is that
1t is something we do for others.
He who does any useful work Is ben
citing others. It may be the raising
OF crop that others may have food,
they in turn paying an equivalent
price.
Whether he recognizes 1t or not. his

he works only for the selfish reward.

' Perhaps his work is ministering to
the sick. The vulgar idea is that the
doctor works Only for his fee. Yet no
fee can measure the easing Of pain.
the saving Of life. Whatever we may
say OF the doctor. be works for others.
The one who serves may be a writer.
He entertains. comforts. instructs or
inspires others. We may say that he
does It only for the money or reputa-
ton It win bring him. yet that Is but
q small part Of the truth. He Is min
istering to his fellow men.
Or he may be an artist, saying, AZ
true artists do, that he does not work

Yet even this falls short Of the whole
truth. He Is adding to the worlds

thousands In the highest way.
So It is throughout life. If we are
worth our salt we are serving others.
The reward we receive Is but the
sauce on the dish. The solid. sub
stantial thing IL the service we are
rendering.
Moreover. our Importance In the
scheme Of things depends on this serv-
tee 1t is the rock on which is build
ed the temple Of our civilization.
One other point The important
thing is the service and not the re-
ward.
The man who works from that end
is the man who wins in big way.
The absolute scientific basis Of sue
cess is not how much can get from
others, but how much l can do for
others.

Sanctuary for Horse Riders.

1t has been suggested that the Isle
of Wight should be turned into a
sanctuary for horse riders by the en-
actment of bylaw forbidding motor
cars to be driven within its bounda'
ries. Such a law was formerly en-
forced in Prince Edward Island, and
its repeal two years ago aroused many
protests. The island, with its wealth,
OF subtropical verdure. is favorite
holiday resort for Canadians, one Of
its greatest charms being the restful-
ness which used to prevail owing to
the absence of motors. Prince Ed
ward Island still possesses more tan
gible attraction in the excellence OF
its oysters. These abound throughout
the island, and Malpeque bay contains
what is probably the largest oyster
bed in the world, extending over six
teen thousand acres.-London Chroni-
Gle.

Health.

There was a bank clerk who saw
the men of his own age losing health
year by year through overwork, indoor
sedentary life and lack of daily ex-
ercise. He saw them growing yellow
and flabby and unfit, and the spectacle
didn't attract him. He decided that
success had better come late, or even
not at all, rather than at the price OF
a ruined body. Health became to him
the choicest Of the mercies, the best
Of life's comrades. Up and away the
person in health can dash-to another
job, to another cline, master of his
fate. III health is chain that ties,
to the dreariness OF what is nearest at
hand. After youth of weakness
and fatigue. the man was happy in
finding that an hour of exercise a day
changed the aspect Of the outer world,
and removed him for all time from the
ranks of the unfit.-Colliers Weekly.

STUDENT HAS ODD DISEASE
Chronic Case Of "Caroanserlnusabm
tu" Prevented Him From Winning
Diploma.

Before a student can be graduated
from Columbia college he must be
able to swim at least one hundred
feet. Felix Metzger Rosenstock Of the
senior class cannot swim at all.
When Rosenstock found that he was
in danger of missing his degree, he
called on DR.. George l.. Meylan, direc-
tor OF the gymnasium, and explained
that he had a serious skin disease,
which would be aggregated by contact
with water in the university swim
ming pool.
Bring a note from your doctor to
that effect, and I'll o. X. It," said Doc
tor Meylan.
Rosenstock brought this note,
signed by physician:
This Is to certify that Felix Metz
ger Rosenstock is suffering from an
exceedingly bad case of Caroansernu-
sabmetu. and his condition will be ag-
gravated If he goes near the water"
The name was new to Doctor Mey-
Ian, but he translated it with the help
Of a Latin dictionary-caro, flesh;
anserinus, of the goose; alb metu, from
fear-goosefesh from fear.
Rosenstock was not excused from
his swimming examination. He and
four others failed to get their de-
gree.

Three hundred followers of the Ba

began on Saturday night here. Albert
G. Hail, a Chicago lawyer, said that
the delegates came in greatest number
from Chicago and farther west, but
few from New York. 1t is the fifth an
nual convention.
There is building in Chicago a Ba-
hal temple. Foundations are laid, and
construction goes on as fast as money
comes in. The whole cost will be
100000. There are nine sides, the
number having significance in BAHIA

to be a hospital, school for social
service, hospice and library.-New

HAS LABOR CLEARING HOUSE
English Government Has Established
Exchanges Whereby Job and the
Man Are Brought Together.

In tie English labor exchanges list
ed situations are either filled directly
by the agency In which they are filed,
or, lacking the proper applicants they
are put lin circulation" Every trade
has it's number and decimal divisions.
On the application card cipher uni
formly used by the exchanges re-
cords the last work the man had, the
job he wants now, his age, the employ
ers he has been sent to, whether TAX
en- on, how long retained and the gen.
eral impression he makes. Usually
the steady and efficient men can be
recognized. Employer and applicant
are filed under the same trade num-
Der in separate boxes on differently
colored cards. Instantly references
can be made for either side. This sim
pie Device being universal, enables
the number wanted to be wired to
the central Office and sent out to the
branches. When he is located, the
reply can briefly present the character
Of the applicant, John l.. Matthews
writes in Harper's Magazine. In case
Of need this man is furnished with
pass or railway ticket. The cost Of
the latter he is given time to repay.
This arrangement has Objectionable
features, since the laborer must both
bear the brunt of the expense and
take chance Of the job lasting long
enough to make it possible for him to
refund the money to the government
In spite of this discourage ent to long
journeys, the exchange tends to fluid
ize the movement of labor throughout
Great Britain and furnishes a reliable,
neutral medium of informati, about
supply and demand.

MODERN USE OF CHURCHES
New Ideas in Meetings and soeials
Would Shock Puritans ard
Old Ministers.

The churchman-minister or lay
man--of the Puritan stamp of two
centuries ago or his descendant who
lived in New England at any time in
the nineteenth century, would be
grievously shocked if he could look
in upon some of the gatherings in ves-
try or other church apartment, which
are held on the Sabbath under the
name of Pleasant Sunday Afternoon,
or something similar.
Suppose for the moment that Dwight
l.. Moody should scan the weekly cal
endar of the church in which he was
to conduct a revival service and find
the announcement of an address by
distinguished musical director on
How to Listen to Grand OPERA" to
be given between the morning and
evening services.
What would Camp Meeting John
Allen say or think should he be sum-
moned to a midweek evening vestry
party by printed invitation bidding
him to come hungry" and bring his
best and latest story" and upon ar
rival discover that il was regular
ladies night" of the MEMS Noisy
and StayUp Late Club"
These are two incidents in the
broad and diversified program in
which nearly every church in Boston
has taken part during the last few
years with increasing success and at
tendance. The two are chosen for
illustration because they are so radi-
cally different from the oldfashioned
ideas of anything distinctively re-
lgious in character.
