and, with a smile added, the
lady would have gone her way,
thinking what a pleasant youth
he was, instead of thinking what
she did think about him.
In ten years time this youth
will be man in his full prime
somewhere in his thirties-and
he will be wondering why he
has not got on in the world;
and he will say he has had no
influence" no pull" and that
others have been advanced over
him through ''favoritism," and
he will make hundred excuses
for his failure to arrive, when
the real fault will lie entirely
with himself.
The work this youth was do
ing required no great concentra-
ton. He was not absorbed in
some difficult mathematical prob
lem, and he had many moments
when he was doing nothing at
all save waiting for people to
serve. Therefore he had no ex-
cuse for not using his eyes and
ears to learn a small yet irnpor-
tant fact about the big station;
and he had no excuse for not
imparting the information asked
save lack of development of
kindness and courtesy.

"Mistrusting the Folks"

The Lewiston Journal proclaims that
it has not been attacking the public
utilities law passed by the last Legis-
lature because it has any connection
with the Libbey, Dingley CO. or with
any other corporate interest The
people who have endeavorted to find
out just why the Journal is so anxious
to have this law rejected by the people
would be glad to have the Journal
fully explain why it thinks this law
which progressives all over the coun-
try have been advocating should not
become operative in this State. So
far the Journal has done little more
than denounce the law and the max
ers of it without giving any valid rea-
sons for attacking it.-Portland Press.
The idea -a-r-r. AS if Dingley's i'm
perial ukase against tories" and
COURTS wasn't all the explanation to
which the folks are entitled That
ought to end the question without dis
eussion. If you defend the law, the
Legislature, the members of the
court" or the Governor, you are dis
trusting the folks" and defeating the
will of the people; you are lobbying
against bought-up petition.

Russell Backed Thrush.

Even the russell backed thrush. that
beautiful songster that has been known
to destroy cherry orchard in a SIN
gle day. is toe valuable bird to the
farmer to think for an instant OF STAY
ing. The adult thrush eats fruit, but
for its young kills only insects, upon
which alone the little birds thrive until
they are cast from the nest to shl1t
fer themselves.
Unlike many of the other Texas birds,
the thrush hatehesit it's young in the far
North. In fact, as soon as the summer
sun Of Alaska begins to melt the snow
there is the mother bird eager to begin
the making of a home. The russell
hacked. thrush breeds in Alaska, cana
da and the Northern Safes of the Unit
cd states, bat flies to Texas as soon as
rho voung birds are able to take the
long rim to the Gulf Coast country.

every Vestige of parasite and causes

hearers of fruit, 1t, however, is most
troublesome during the cherry season
when the young are in the nest. From
this it might be inferred that the young
are fed on fruit, but such is not the
case. The adults eat the fruit, but the
nestlings are fed upon insects.
Beetles constitute the largest item of
animal food, and ants come next. Many
caterpillars also are eaten. The great
est bulk of vegetable food consists OF
fruit, of which two-fifthS is of eultivat-
ed varieties. Where these birds live in
or near orchards or gardens they may
do considerable damage, but they are
too valuable as insect destroyers TO be
killed, and the fruit can be protected in
other ways.
The russell backed thrush is about
seven inches in length. Among other
thrushes having the top of the head
and tail nearly The same color as the
back, this one is distinguished by lts
taWny eye ring and checks. The bird
has a russell brown back and under the
throat dark brown markings. WhicH

The Miohty Y. M. c. A.

Threescore years ago T. V. Sullivan
a sea captain, organized in Boston a
new business, modelled after something
he had heard existed in England. 1t
was different from any American bust
ness then in existence. The new ven
ture began in a very small way, with
practically no capital and no backing
AS it became a demonstrated success,
pital came to it and men of affairs
became interested in its management.
Today this organization has thou
sands of employees. 1t has 2196 Of
fees in almost as many American
cities Its expenses are more than
10,000.000 year. 1t has recently
erected building in Chicago worth
$500, 900, one in New York costing
$4OO, 0O0. and another in Cleveland
valued at $4,000 1t is building an
office building in Atlanta at a cost of
$4,000. another in Philadelphia val
ued at $6S7,000, and a third in Boston
at an expenditure of $1.300,000. For
| five years this corporation has been
erecting branch houses at the rate of
one every six days. All told, ii owns
725 building. Its real estates is worth
10000, 900, and ii has maintenance
funds of $14,000,000 more, giving it a
total capital of $S4000,000 The name
of this organization is the Young
Mems Christian Association. Its BUSH
ness is the conservation of Americas
manhood.-~World's Work.

The Anqlo- Saxon Type.

What is the Anglo Saxon type?
George Grey Barnard, the sculptor
who is about to make a statue OF
Abraham Lincoln, has been looking
about for a living model and Will
probably find him. it is said, in Ben
A. Lee, of Lebanon, KY, who is fif-
ty years old and is so like the mar
tyred President in form and feature
that he is Familiarity known as Abe
Lincoln He is farmer by occupa-
ton and strictly of the Anglo-Saxon
type, with the physical features of
centuries ago"
What is the Anglo Saxon type?
While it may be surmised that the an
cestry of Lincoln on the mothers side
was English it is. by no means GER
tain that this was the case on the side
of the father Indeed, recent findings
have gone far to substantiate the
claim that the name Lincoln was
originally, in the family of the Presi-
dent, 'Linkhorn, and that his grand
father was known as q Pennsylvania
Dutchman. The Anglo Saxon type,
as far as form and feature are con-
cerned, is no longer prominent in this
country, and may scarcely be found
even in the hill counties of Kentucky.
West Virginia or North Carolina. We
are a mixed people and this mixing
started at quite an early day in this
country, soon after colonists began to
arrive from Germany. Holland, Swe-
den, Ireland and Scotland. Within
the last fifty years nearly every coun-
try of Europe has furnished material
for this mixing pot of nations Per-
haps the only blood that has not en-
| tered into the mixing of races is that
of the Hebrew, and yet it may be that
a careful search through Israel might
find model sufficiently Anglo
Saxon in form and feature to serve
| the sculptors need of model for the
great emancipation. The moving pic

appearance of the people who throne

Optimism.

John d. Rockefeller forty years ago
believed in the future of this country,
bought oil on big scale and became
the worlds richest man. Andrew Car
resie says he borrowed every cent he
could get to invest in his steel mill and
later sold out for something like three
hundred millions. j, p. Morgan himself
avowel that he was always a,"bnll on
the country" and he died leaving a
great name in the financial world and a
monumental fortune.
Washington was an optimiSt, even at
Valley Forge, and he created the
worlds greatest republic. Grant an
moved his enemies constantly because
he refused to be anything but an opti-
mist and his armies saved that same
republic from disunion. Bismarck was
the prince of optimists, and the Ger
man Empire is the sequel. In his OWL
DAY William Pitt outshone every other
Englishman in the belief in his eoun-
try's coming greatness. and 10 him
more than any one man can be given
credit for an empire on whose domin-
ions the sun never sets.
Every pioneer who braved an Indian
and starvation on the American from
tier was a supreme optimist. The
greatest books have been penned by
those who had a firm faith in the fu-
ture.
The Christian religion itself Is found
ed upon optimism, as is every othei
great religion. Omit faith from any one
of them and the cornerstone is gone
