But the muttudes of persons who have never donned prison earb have to meet this same situation, though perhaps in less acute form. They have to live down the reputation of their family for ShiftleSsness and Unreliabil- ity. They have to overcome inherited poor health, or get the better of un- favorable surroundings or bad name which their own misdeeds have fasten- ed to them, or some blunder, failure Or sin not known to others but which has eaten like a canker into their souls and blighted their future.
 I chanced the other day to hear a man speak of another man as handi- capped by his fathers wealth, and he used this very expression: When he can live down his reputation as rich mans son he may be able to show peo- pie that he possesses sterling stuff in himself" It was a new idea that the possession of wealth which one has never earned may handicap a man in the expression of his own individuality.
 But whatever the thing to be over come and whoever be responsible for it, the objective today is to speed for ward and not be forever bound to the past failure, or blunder or disadvant age And just here it pays for us to remember that men have lived down handicaps. Forber President Mckinley retreived his financial fortunes after he was 50 years of age. Phillips Brooks rose to the heights of pupit power, even though some closest to him thought that as young man he had no ability as a preacher. Moreover we can outlive the past because we ought so to do. It was never meant to be g chain upon us, no matter how scared with failures it looks to US now.
 The way of life is always a forward way. This certain truth should cheer men in those prison houses which the state has provided for the delinquent members of society, it ought to hearten also men of outward responsibility who are nevertheless imprisoned by ham pering and burdensome memories.
 There should be help from man that will enable those who want to live down their past more easily to do it. There is help from man to man, though far less than there ought to be. Yet such work as wise prison chaplains and gentle ministrants of kindness, like Mrs BaIlington- Booth do ease the way for those who would rise to higher things And no truer proverb has ever been spoken than this: God helps those who help themselves"

THE MAN WHO TALKS

If you would be companfonable do not venture to be a critic See every thing that is agreeable in the other party, and if you cannot be blind to faults just be silent. It Is more than likely that the other person knows his own faults and deplores them more than you do; and perhaps he is aware that you have more faults than he is conscious of having himself, for we all have eyes more or less penetrating and minds of variable activity and power. It is more profitable to be as- sailing our own little vices or habits and reforming them than to be assum- ing 1t is our duty to try to reform our friend, for in this way we are making ourselves a good example
 which is of value to him and all others who know us. We may keep popular while nagging ourselves concerning our own faults; but it is impossible to do so as nagger of other people. If, as the Pers1ans say, Tt takes ten pounds of common sense to apply one pound of learning aright," it takes no less to remain constantly agreeable to one with whom We are associated. What some people mistake for duty is simple meddlesomeness and it often works more harm than good.
 If you have discovered that you have inherited an iron constitution do not think it is indestructible It IS a splendid inheritance for the wise, but of little account to fool. Doubt less, the reasCn there are so few iron constitutions among men is because there have been more fools among men than wise men on the earth in the past. The fellow who thinks he has an iron constitution is usually taking all kind of health breaking hazards: he thinks it is safe now and then to defy the laws of his being, and the first thing he knows he is not; and wiser men look his way not venturing to say: He died the death of the fool" but remark he's paid the price of his folly" It does not take great mental effort to recall such eases, for they are too frequently in evidence to make special mention necessary. An iron constitution is 8 divine inheritance and should be treated as precious gift It is some thing to preserve, not to test in de- tiance of law. A weak man with a great endowment usually makes a fool of himself-a true man can't.
