hear the story.
Il told him that my father had
served as general in the Revolu
tionary army and, furthermore. that
he had been a member of General
Washington's military family. and at
one time served as staff officer under
Washington. I think he knew some
thing of my fathers history as
soldier in the Revolution.
HE asked me many questions about
myself. I told him that I had a suf-
fcient education to have enabled me
to pass examinations for admission
to West Point. He asked me how l
got to Washington. I confessed to
him that l had gathered together
what belonged to me and practically
run away, because wanted to enter
the army and didn't want TO be a
doctor.
He looked at me a long time after
| told him this, and at last he said:
You go back TO your lodgings and
write out an application for appoint
ment as a lieutenant, stating briefly
who you are, who your father was
and what your qualifications are and
send me that application
II didn't know whether he told me
| that to get rid of me or not, but
sent him the application, and in a few
days I received a communication
signed John c. Calhoun, secretary OF
war. appointing me a lieutenant in
the army of the United States. Soon
after the appointment Calhoun sent
me to Fort Dearborn, where Chicago
| now stands"
James Watson Webb afterward be-
| came a distinguished American citi-
zen. He served some twelve or If
| teen years in the army and after that
became one of the leading American
journalists. He was an intimate
friend of William H. Seward and
served for four years as United States
minister TO Brazil.

better keep it to yourself for a
variety of reasons. The best one is
that the man you condemn today you
are likely to praise in the ripper judy
ment of the morrow. When you get
a good second look at him you may
want him for friend. 1t would be
embarrassing to have to explain that
once upon time you thought him
unfit to associate with or not worth
cultivating. Your career depends al
most altogether upon your relations
with others, and you can't get far
along the high road to success If you
are dragging behind you chain of
unwise utterances. Generally speak
ing, your opinion of others Is for
your own guidance, and, short of
preventing a calamity, you are not
bound to share that opinion with
ANYBODY else. This truth comes home
with double force when you remember
that you are not correct in your
views much more than half of the
time and that you are likely to be
doing an injustice to someone upon
whom you may later want to call for
cooperation.
The man who boasts of what he in
tends to do sooner or later attains
the reputation of weathercock. Few
efficient men act upon decisions made
offhand No wise man ever confides
to another the purpose conceived
upon the spur of the moment. The
plan that stands and works out is
the one that has been subjected to
many notifications. Few reliable
courses of action ever sprang full
blown from the brains of their
creators The scheme that seems
perfectly feasible at first blush
proves itself utterly impracticable
upon close inspection. Your neighbor
seldom thinks of these facts. or, II
ne does. he assumes that you have

Persons whose birthdate it is have
an augury of disturbed conditions,
both financial and domestic. They
may expect changes which will not
be an improvement in environment
or opportunity. Women should
watch their health; they are coun-
seled to restrain their love of pleas
ure and social diversions of all kind.
Children born on this day will be
impulsive and inclined to resent
guidance. Boys should be guarded
against the temptation to waste time
| in dissipation or with friends that
are not helpful. Girls may be coquet-
fish and fond of self-indulgence.
