THE MAN WHO TALKS

The man who has faith in his abil-
 ity to lead, usually has little regard
 for what his enemies may say of him
 He knows he has got to stand where
 blows himself When anyone steps out of the mass to do something, or
 say something, out of the ordinary that moment he is open to suspicion
 with them. The greatest men in his
 tory have been most reviled. Every i leader is a target for the other side;
 and in the affairs of life men do not pledge themselves to Truth. In fact 1 the popular sentiment seems to be 1 Every man for himself and the dew i il take the hindermost." It takes pluck to be a leader combined with an inffexible purpose and an iron will It costs something in the way of 1 heartaches and self sacrifice and this is why so many men shrink from lead ership.
 # there is anything to religion-to the averred. rewards and puniShme its some souls are going to be overawed for what they have permitted, well as for what they have done. Ignor- ance and injustice are at bottom of most of the disease and suffering in
 this world How do you think the
 church member will feel when he is
 asked how he came to reap such prof
 it's from vice and injustice? What
 d
 ed men, women and children, or the
 swea tshops, which enabled him to pile
 up wealth, be to him. What of his false pretenses and overcharges in the line of business, or his dalliance and impaired honesty in the competitions of life? Will he look up Cain did and ask: Am l my brothers keep er?' If men believed in the day of reckoning wouldn't they be more care full? Does not their conduct belle their professions?
 It is worse than losing leg for a young man to get installed in his mind the idea that there is no chance in life for him. He has created for himself @ life dfstorting mirror which de- ceives him. Life doesn't always look bright and shiny to any of us; but the clouds are sure to break away, and the sun of hope do it's work, if we will let 1t. Gloom never can destroy a Lincoln. I doubt if it can destroy man. "A man wanted!" is standing advertisement in 1ife-a mani mind you. That stands for uprightness, eff
 ficiency and faithfulness, and if you have the goods never be afraid to ap ply for the place, for you are likely to get it nine times in ten for your very countenance will bespeak ability. Do not nurse gloom for it soon makes a good man look like 30 cents. Hug hope and press forward
 Opportunity does not have to knock at the door of observant people, for they wrest opportunity from circum- stances and open up new opportuni- ties, for others. You cannot imagine a man like Edison waiting for oppor- tunity to knock at his door. He seems to be a father of opportunities with an ever increasing family. It is said that one day some years ago, while the state legislature of Wisconsin was in session, member visited the state historical library in Madison and ask ed for something on railroads" He got table full of reports, monographs and what not. Not being a student or experienced investigator, he left the library sadder, though probably not wiser, than before. at least, not on the subject of railroads. A young man who was reading in the library noticed the occurrence, and, being a practical man and a student, he at once saw that here was a field for usefulness-he saw not only the need, but also the he was appointed document clerk to the state legislature and began to col lect documents, pamphlets, treatises and all kinds of material bearing on the muitifarious subjects coming with in the range of activity of an up to date American state legislature. He Is now known all over this country, and abroad we'll as the legislative ref erence librarian of Wisconsin, Charles Mccarthy; and the place he created for himself is of such value that it has been recognized as an aid to learning and has been duplicated in many cities and states opening the door of opportunity for many young men,
 Those who do not see anything to laugh at usually lack health. If the worth of n1irtn was more generally
