The Most Important Thing,

Motives make acts; but it is
just as true that acts make mo-
tives; only their creative efficl'
ency is subtler.
There are two kind Of people
the strong and the weak, the ca
pable and incapable.
The difference between them is
this only: that the strong change
their motives, likes, and passions
at will, through patience and
practise, while the weak are i'm.
potent to resist the inward desires
that produce deeds.
There is no art in the world 80
important us the the act of killing
one longing and creating another
in oneself.
The secret is so simple, and as
old as philosophy. It is that by
repeating an action one can
gradually induce a desire to re.
peat it, and by refusing q desire
one can eliminate it.
To believe that and to practise
this is the key to any sort Of hu.
man greatness.
Do you want courage? Act
as if you were brave, though you
quake with fear.
Do you want calm and poise?
Initiate what you wish, despite
inward flutterings. At last the
stubborn spirit falls into step
with the willed perform anoe.
Do you want will.power, con.
centration, optimism? Imagine
how a person would act who
possesses these qualities, and do
as you think he would do; and
under the incessant drill the
wished for impulses will grow.
Learn this law If reflex action.
Character makes conduct, every
body knows. Only the spiritual
aristocracy knows that conduct
also makes character.
/ Are you habit. bound, weak.
willed, unclean, despising your.
self, always falling back into self
contempt when alone. All you
need in order to climb out of the
slime is Imagination, with which
to picture to yourself how your
ideal self would act and will, with
which to drive yourself to that
line of action.
The process is slow. 1t is
doubted by all the worlds i'm.
potent ones. But it is sure. Ten
ounces OF action produce one
ounce Of desire.
This is the only known road to
real success. 1t leads to king
ship. The riches of personality
are cumulative. We must earn
and save them. And the eternal
law here is: ITO him that hath
shall be given, and from him
thas hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath. -

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
IN NARROW ESCAPES
But Had Broad Time at Denver
ConcIave, According to
Tales Today.

Here are few of the principal mar
row escapes had by the knights Temp
lar of the District, who just returned
from the triennial conclave of their
organization at Denver: Narrowly es-
capped a train wreck near Chicago,
while speeding westward; narrowly es-
capped a train wreck near Parkersburg,
while speeding homeward; narrowly
escaped being held up by bandits near
Kansas City, and very narrowly es-
capped being notified by the police of
Omaha. Neb., for doing a pajama drill
at the railway station of that place
during the early hours OF the morning.
These are only a few of the escapes
experienced by the entire party, which
left Washington aboard a special train
to attend the conclave. What happen
ed in the way OF escapes to the in
dividual members of the party will not
be put in chronological order until sew
eral years have elapsed.
The Knights, ITO strong, left Wash
ington August I. 1t was a cattle train
running just ahead of the special car
carrying the Sir knights west of Chi
cago that occasioned the first narrow
escape when 1t was wrecked. Another
train just ahead of the Sir Knights
near Kansas City. was held UP by
bandits. Escape No. 3. Train running
just ahead of Sir Knights, near Par

ment Escape No. g. But the Sir
Knights were given a broad welcome
at Denver and had an exceedingly broad
time there. according to the stories
they tell of their travels and visit to-

THE TIMES DAHL
THE PATRIOTS
The Story of Lee and the Lost Hope

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
The story opens in the trying days Of
81 when the North and South were ar
rayed in deadly conflict and family ties
were torn asunder over the grave Ques-
tions which split the nation in twain
While at Harvard Philip Grafton, young
Eirginian, becomes the afhanCed husband
of Kathleen kirkwood, whose sympathies
are all with the North. When Grafton
announces his intention TO bear arms for
the Confederacy a stormy scene ensues.
and results IN Philip being sent away
with no hope of ever claiming the North
ern girl his bride.
Heavy hearted, Philip goes back TO Nir-
ginia and enlisIs in an infantry regiment
with q secret hope that there, perhaps,
he may soon find surcease for his sorrow
in a speedy bullet from the enemies
guns. Before joining his regiment Philip
visits his old home and finds his guardian.
Judge Lewis, in u deplorable state OF
believing that he is about to die. gives
his granddaughter Ariadne into Fnlllp
care, with the request that he become her
husband.
Although Philip is unable to obllterate
the memory of Kathleen kirkwood, he
consents to marriage with Ariadne, and the
ceremony is performed at the bedside OF
Judge Lewis just few minutes before ne
passes away.
Philip places his young bride in the care
Of an old friend in Richmond and joins
his regiment on the field Of battle.
Philip falls into the hands Of Major Rurt
Kirkwood and George Manning. two old
friends fighting in the Northern Army,
and they plan to send him to the Kirk
wood home where he may receive the
miniEtratlons Of Kathleen.
