like the plants that wake up early in the spring and grow despite the frost and the snow ffurries. The re cent cold wave hasn't taken the beauty off the pansy beds. The pansy is only a glorified violet, the offspring of viola tricolor but it has caught the fancy of the fiower-lovers of all nations, and from the French. who make the violet their national flower. we learn to send "Pensies for thoughts" The snoWfakes, the -crocuses, the squills and the glory of-the-snow all hardy little mountaineers, or cold climate aliens, who make the border look gay some times before the snow is off the ground The hardy seeds are sprouting and giving notice that F1oras hosts are on the way and will soon adorn the whole earth with beauty The tiny plants breaking through the crust of the earth look as good to me as the stars at night in the heavens. As the messengers of spring they are symbols of beauty and gladness and are inspiration to those who arc conscious to their worth.

1t is well to let some time eIapse be- fore pronouncing any particular epi- sode in our lives good or bad. If we could look across, the years and see the end from the beginning, we might often rejoice over what seems hope less and evil and but sit in sackcloth over what appear smiling gifts of for tune.
 Narrow horizons may do for dogs and apes but not for men. Immortals are bound to take the longer look. Life takes on dignity and poise when it is thought of as an eternal career, which neither the minor ills nor the transient joys of today can thwart or destroy.

Do you want to go through life (

Do you want to go through life on the crest of the wave. or in the hol- low of the sea? How you go through depends on how you live. Do not be one who says things cant be done and doing them successfully In the first place, cherish the Golden Rule for it's practical value to you. Believe in the innocence of people until they are convicted. instead of believing ev- cry idle rumor. Be prnctual-keep your promises. Make every day a busy day and your interest in your em- ployers success greater than your in terest in the clock and short hours
 Keep clean in person and speech and never lose your temper-keep it where you can put your foot on it. Do not prize righteous indignation too high ly. for indignation of any kind means

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
KEEP THE PERSPECTIVE.

Many small things in this world look large to us because we are so near to them. The hill seems like a mountain when you are toiling up it's side. A silver nickel held near the eye is big enough to shut out the sun.
 A photographer can take a picture of a tuorist with the Capitol at Wash ington as a background. the man quite him. The picture satisfies the tuor- iSt's vanity or his sense of humor, and the camera is unharmed.
 We are too near men of our own time to appraise them at their real worth. There are giants, in popular estimation, who will appear as pigmieS by and by. There are statesmen euphemisticaMy so called. who will be remembered, if at all, as peanut pol iticians when time shall have sifted their achievements and their motives.
 Others of our contemoraries who do not appear to advantage now will come into their own with the passing years. Public opinion is prone to error it is sometimes slow in changing. but. in the long run, it makes few serious blunders. When history is finally written it will rank many that are first.
 \ great philosopher has put the truth in a telling figure. He reminds us that as the traveller returns from
  obscure his outlook on the summits. the farther he wanders away, the smaller the foothills appear till at last the solitary caps of snow loom up above the outstretched plain.
 It is true of the moral mountain peaks among human kind. The really great need not fear the verdict of pos terity. The centuries give a true per spective. As the years pass we learn to think adequately of Lincoln and Washington and Cromwell and Paul.
 Most of the events that bafaH us cannot be interpreted rightly in the present. We must look back op them after space of years to understand their meaning. Distance lends not only entertainment but explanation to the view.
 The sculptors Phidias and AlcameneS were each commissioned to execute a statue of Minerva for the public square in Athens That of Phidias proved massive. rough and almost un- gainly on a close inspection while his rivals pleased the judges by it's fine ness of outline. But winch the stat ues were raised in turn to the top of the lofty column from which the god dess was to look down upon the people that of Phidias proved so incompara- bly superior that all the people shout ed their approveal.

Dyspepsia is generally regarded as a disease, but he who said dyspepsia is the remorse of a guilty stomach. spoke well. An overloaded stomach makes a crowding bedfellow for the Eeart and is an upsetter of order in a mans whole physical system; ana who doesn't overload the stomach when the provender is right and the appetite like a horse-leach is crying 'morei more! '" There is nothing that will do more to reduce the high cost of living and promote economy than care of the stomach. It is well established fact that one pound of food a day will support life in any person, but those who cater to the public allow four pounds day. Those who eat least enjoy most; and those who stuff are prof1ta ble patrons for the doctors. A celebrated Australian dietetist tells all his readers not to abuse Little Mary (meaning their ston1achs) and if they get in love with Little Mary they love food less and enjoy good health more.

When we see a man becoming a victim of his mistakes it is time for us to keep ourselves under closer sur veillance There is wisdom in this; but there is not in ridicu1ng the weakness of another. There is no man who hasn't a weak side; and perhaps you have noticed that if it isn't rogue who finds it. it is woman. Error is commoner than we think. Walpole said: Tn all science error proceedes the truth, and it is better it should go first than last" This is endorsible but I am puzzled to find out why error leads the procession. Tupper was of the opinion that There is nothing so true that the damps of error have not warped it. In a life of mysterious phenomence 1t is easy for man to err, or to go astray. It was Longfellow who discovered that sometimes we may learn more from a mans errors than from his virtues and 1t is up to us to make the mistakes of others of value to ourselves.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

We all look backward. and the long CT we live the broader the view The strongest indication of age is loving to talk about the past. or being In. ciined to think more of the things or the past than the present; and too many people have an exclusive pam orama of trials which they regard as the worst ever. when they mlSnt just as we'll cherish memory or their achievements, or their blessings. This backward view and it's results IS charged to temperament, Instead or to habit. Temperament we are not ac- countable for, and habit we ourselves form We form the mental pictures in memory which distress us, ana Tor get to turn them face to the wall. Cast from the mind the things which distress, and cherish the things which one is ever glad to remember.
 What is nature? It will not do to say it is God for some theoiogian will rise up and say it is not. Nature has been defined by theologian as the face of God" By others it has been described "as an effect whose cause is God" "a glass refiecting God; the time -vesture of God that reveals him to the wise and hides him from the foolish" Mature is cruel says the critics nature is not benevolent. Nature doeSns care for the opinions of men She commands man to serve and wait and he has to do it. From
  himself and from her phases learns wisdom From her violence man reaps large benefits, although by it he dies sometimes by scores of thousands and is impoverished. If transferring souls from the trials and troubles and perils of life to the peace of God is cruelty of course this is cruel. Man cannot understand nature any more than he can understand God by whose decree it performs it's part. He finds himself in nature and nature in him one and inseparable. The eyes of Pope suit me. for they looked through na ture up to natures God

with the laying OF Monday Of forty
men. mostly common laborers en-
ployed in the car shops OF the Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroad. that de-
p.rtment Of the road has closed one
of the busiest five months In its his
tory. Some idea Of what has been
done By this department Is gained
from the knowledge that the road has
IN .ervace now fully so per cent more
Of its own rolling stock than 1t had
on July I.
The car shops have given employ
ment to 100 men since last July. when
the work of rebuilding discarded box
and coal cars was begun. Bad order
cars that had been set out as unsafe
for traffic have been rebuilt from the
trucks up and are now new cars again.
This increase in rolling stock viii help
the road greatly in carrying on Its
winter business.
! Force Now About Normal.
With the laying off Of the forty men
ON Monday the car shops force Is now
about normal, around 100 men. The
men who were laid off were practical
ly ali Greeks and other foreigners who
were employed last summer when the
work of rebuilding the freight equip
nent began.
Master Mechanic William Gemlo Is
very much pleased over the showing
made in the car shops. The work has
almost double In amount over what
was accomplished In the same five
months a year ago.
In the machine, blacksmith, and
boiler shops the force is normal, and
will probably remain SO during the
winter.
Employees in the shops whose fam
tiles are not here, or who may desire
to spend Christmas in other points,
have been notified by the master me-
chanic that they will be given leaves
Of absence for the holidays. and that
their positions will be awaiting them
on their return.
