On the walls OF the great Bedford
reformatory in New York state, which
! Is doing wonderful work in reclaiming
, women once believed to be lost, hangs
the saying:
Forgetting the things which are
behind and reaching forth to those
| things which are before"
It Is the motto Of the institution, and
1t embodies the spirit which governs
! there.
1t were we'll for America and the
world If the motto were lived up to In
all reformatory and penal institutions.
We might see at q measurable distance
the coming OF the day when prisons
shall be all .'penitentiaries," places for
penitence rather than punishment
But others besides those In reforma.
tories and penitentiaries need the les
son embodied in the motto.
| It is another way of saying. Let the
dead past bury its dead" The past
/ is gone; the future is not yet come;
we live now.
| There is much virtue in now"
Far back along the road of life which
we have travelled to the milestone at
which we now fnd ourselves are the
landmarks of opportunities missed. of
misdeeds done. How fast, think you.
can you travel along the road which is
vet to come II you stop all the time to
look back at them, perhaps turn in
your career to revisit them?
Let them stay there
If you must go back to them let it be
ry to return. Do not bring from them
souvenirs to weigh you down in your
future journeying.
Above all. do not seek to retrace the
steps Of q fellow traveller on life's road
for the purpose Of reproaching him
| with past gatherings. # he is plodding
| along manfully do not seek to hold him
back by casting before him the shad-
ows Of his past.
AS we journey through life we face
the sun of hope It casts the shadows
behind US. not in front of us. Turn
| and the shadows lie before you. Keep
On going and the shadows stretch be
hind.
| Sometimes we glance backward, and
then they seem to lie thick and fast
| and gloomy and threatening on the
| road. When we have mounted the hill
and cast our last, long look behind on
the highway we have travelled we shall
see that nowhere were they as menac-
ling as they seemed
And. while you forget the things
which areabehind. do not fail to reach
forth for the things which are before!

DID HE CHOOSE THE BETTER PART7

DID HE CHOOSE THE BETTER PhRT7
etterman-George W. Letterman-
is dead.
You did not know Letterman or
know Of him, perhaps?
If not the loss is yours. as the death
of Ietterman is the nations loss.
Letterman belonged to the race Of
born natllralists To him the starry
beauty Of an anemone in the grass
was more than the glare Of the cleo
tric light in the city wilderness. His
mind perceived more beauty in the
stately aisles Of the forest trees than
in the arches Of a cathedral.
For seventy years Letterman stud
led and botanized in the Missouri
of nature grew so grew his fame un-
til few men were more highly re
garded BY the botanists Of the state
4hd nation Many famous scientists
visited his little cabin and roamed the
woods with him. Rare plants were
named for him.
Fame brought to Letterman no in
fation of spirit. The man who lives
much with nature is never vain or con-
ceited. He knows his own littleness.
ALetterman was a true member Of the
family Of Agassiz and Audubon and
Muir and Burroughs.
He did not seek the world.
The world sought him.
His wisdom in the ways of plants
reached the seats of learning. where
men and women study botany with
books and microscopes as well as with
the naked eyes. So some of the great
universities asked Letterman to join
their faculties, to become an instructor
Of the young.
Letterman preferred his haunts along
the brooks to stately chair near the
river of learning. He would not leave
his woods
Did Letterman choose Alright for
himself?
Considering himself alone, probably
be took the better part. He may have
felt himself untitled for the life ID the
halls Of the universities, although he
was man Of education. Perhaps he
feared the restraints Of regular hours
of teaching, when his soul wou.d long
for the great outdoors which he had
made his home for SO many years.
The world lost, no doubt, By bis de-
cision. But possibly he gained.
Should he have sacrificed himself
and given more freely Of the stock OF
nature lore which was In him? Only
he could answer the question. and he
is dead.
He lived a good life Whether he
might have lived better, more useful
existence elsewhere than among his
beloved grass and flowers and trees
each reader must decide for himself.

FROn a NAN WHO KNEW.

No honor, no reward, however great,
can be equal to the subtle satisfaction
that a man feels when he can point to
his work and say. 1.-THE task I promised
to the utmost Of my ability Is fnished."-
Henry M. Stanley.
Fine words from q man who knew
both the internal satisfaction Of tasks
honestly performed and the external
glory Of high honors won!
When James Gordon Bennett sent
Stanley to Africa to find Livingstone
neither the newspaper manager nor
the young man-he was only twenty
eight could foresee the order Of the
knighthood Of the Bath glittering on
the bosom Of the future enlightener OF
darkest Africa.
HI Neither could predgure the secreta-
ries Of the worlds highest scientific
societies thronging around Stanley's
door to bring to him certificates Of
honorary membership In their ranks.
It was to task Bennett sent Stan
ley, not to honors.
He performed the task. The honors
came afterward.
So It Is with the man who does
things, great or small. He glories In
the doing, ia the accomplishment Of
results. When the honors come he ac-
cepts them modestly. They spur him
on to greater endeavor.
Stanley was sent to find Livingstone.
He found him. In his book he tells
Of the pathetic meeting In the heart
Of the African jungle There is much
expression Of the Joy he felt in the
finding. with no thought Of reward.
When the work is truly done the re-
ward follows, as the night the day. In
Stanley's case 1t came in the shape OF
greater opportunity for exploration in
Africa. He had toiled through jungle
and swamp in leading his first great
exploration party. The others brought
him wider fields and won for him the
name Of being the worlds leading ex-
#plorer They took him into associa-
ton with the great Of the earth and
gave him riches. "a titled handle for

to Mr.. Bennett he had said:

And God was with him
