We are syntheticaily formed. and TO
get the best in us We must analytically
live-that is separate the good fellow
from his evil brother. Allow the two fell
lows in you to get mixed up and Your
life Is a series of successes and failures.
determination and cowardice, the i'm
polling powers of antagoniStic impulses
making existence useless.
The man who passes through these
moods and never struggles to control the
lower self lacks the complete pSychicai
development of the normal man. 1t is the
careful watchfulrfess OF the other fellow
in him, the getting command over him,
that goes up to make the successful man.
Too many men think that the mastery Of
mere SOrdtd things, money, success in get
ting control over other men, Is the main
| object in life. Such men are dismal fall
ures In the accomplish ment OF mans true
work-the controlling Of his own warning
and complex natures.
You start out at night intending to wit
ness a drama of force and instruction:
the other fellow in you takes you to see
suggestive lechery and the muck OF wan
tonness. The good fellow in you has been
submerged while the other chap revels in
his evil pleas ilres You leave home prom

fellow In you takes you home drunk to a

times pushes you into dependency
The other fellow in man is jealous of

Cause of Many Downfalls.
THE other fellow in u.s. has one great
seldom-failing lure. 1t is good at all sea-
sons and tempts all men. This lure is
shining gold, which flashed before the
eyes acts as Il hypnotizer. 1t causes the
literary man to write vile and suggestive
stuff for the money there is In ii. He
even lets the other fellows name be
signed to it. for the good chap absolutely
refuses to be in any way connected with
the injurious matter. This state OF al
fairs Is not uncommon. The lure Of gold
puts to sleep the good fellow and the evil
rises to the bait. This Is the cause Of
many strange downfalls.

Then the good fellow whispers: Don't

But the twin brother knows his bust

recall sad case of this kind. a once
honorable and brilliant surgeon IN the
asylum ward became pauper; raving at
times over his crimes; haggard. trem-
bling, fearful of something-something
ever hanging over him; thirty-four years
of age sixty in appearance and suffering.
1t was pitiable, but it was just. I've seen
many such sad cases; in fact, have
never known physician who let the lure
of the other fellow control him do other
than sink to the lowest stratum Of life.
The other fellow in you is one of the
deluding, despotic passion. Even when
men are truthful to one another they are
often liars to their other selves. Have
you ever stopped to think how frequently
you let the scoundreI i'll you control your
words-let him lie for Your good chap?
You have repeatedly told Jones tn at you
We're his best friend; that in you he had
a friend who would always stick by him
and so on. Jones had money when you
boasted of your loyalty. Now he needs
assistance-not much, just little bust
ness lift. What do you say? Well. You
just call on the other fellow in you and
get him to reply TO your friend:
Sorry, old man, but, YOU see. matters
are very tight with me just now. II you
had only let me know Of 1t last week.
But now am really not In q position
