Foreign Carrying Trade OF
the United States
BY JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.

TINE value OF the sea borne
foreign commerce of the
United States during the
year ending June 80, 1912, was
$3,4S1, 47O,42S It's value for the
year ending June 30, 1913. was
$3,773,O60,924, a gain in one year
Of $341 ,59O,5O1.
The foreign commerce of the
United States carried under the
American flag in the year 1912
was 1922, Ash ,565, or s19,0o0,o0O
less than the increased commerce
of the United States in a single
year!
Which means that the total
tonnage under the American flag
in 1912 would not have been equal
to the carrying of the increase in
the foreign commerce alone for
the year 1913.
During the year ending June 80,
1913, British vessels increased
their carrying of American
foreign commerce to the extent of
Sl60.245,475 over the previous
year in which year the gain of
British shipping equaled nearly
one half the total foreign COM

knowledge of Things as
They Are and as They
Are Not.

In the same way the fault is not
with our minds, but with not hay
ing learned to use them. The
mind, every mans mind, is the
very finest sort of a machine; it
is as delicate a piece of appara-
tus as God ever made. 1t is the
apparatus by which we are able
to know things.
If we work it right, we shall
know things as they ARE. If we
work it wrong, we shall know
things as they are NOT, that is,
we shall not know them at all,
only think that we know them.
Knowing what is not so makes
out the larger part of some peo-
pies knowledge
We get our minds out of order
by trying to make them think in
way that is not natural to them,
exactly as any machine of wood
or iron can be damaged if put to
a speed other than that at which
it was constructed to run.
We do this when, instead Of let
ting our thinking take it's easy
and natural course, we frame our
convictions out of our preferences
and prejudices and then force our
thinking into a track that win
lead up to those convictions.

A CIRCUS STORY
Boy Who Was Disappointed Grew Up
to Make Others Glad.

Boy Who Was Disappointed Grew Up
to Make Others Glad.
Once upon time, some fifty or six
ty years ago, there was little boy
who didn't 60 to the circus.
He saw the circus come to town and
he watched the parade, and he listen
ed to the barker at the tent door, and
he read the posters, and he almost ate
his heart out with longing to get In
side that tent Of wonders. But he just
couldn't go, ana that was all there was
to 1t. ..'
No, don't mean that. It wasn't all
II It were shouldn't be telling about
this little boy who didn't go to the cir
Gus, because he would be Just like all
the other hundreds Of thousands Of
little boys who have been cruelty de-
prived Of that inaIienable birthright.
No, this little boy who didn't go to
the circus was different from the rest
Of us who agonize over our childish
disappointments, and then grow up
and think childish longings and disap-
p6intments don't amount to much.
The day the circus left town this
little boy stood on a hill and watched
It out Of sight with his little heart
swelling with grief. and as he watched
he showed what stun he was made Of
by making VOW. He vowed that when
he was grown up he'd take every little
boy in town to the circus -
And last spring the little boy who
didn't go to the circus still further
showed what stuff he was made Of by
fulfilling. He took every boy In mid
dle-western city: that meant more
than two thousand boys.
To my mind. that man Is an alche-
mist. For to want others to possess
what you have lacked, to be made ten
der to disappointment by your own
disappointments, and generous to 9TH
er folks longings by your own unsatis-
fed longings, Is to have turned the de-
privations and disappointments Of life
into the purest gold.

OF course we can't all take two
thousand boys to the circus. But we
can all try, in whatever degree Is with
in our reach. to revenge ourselves on
fate for our disappointments and de-
privations by keeping her from infiict-
ing the same disappointments and de-
privations on others.-Savannah News.
