The Best For Man

1 No mans character is com plete until he has passed through the valley of ignominy.
 The contempt of his fellow men is whip that stings when laid on a mans back, and the way he acts under that lash shows whether he is a thorough bred or not.
 The knowledge that you are hated is a bitter medicine, but wholesome.
 Defeat, failure shame and de- srislngs are supposed to crush roen. They do crush small men. They are the making of great men.
 There never was a man who reached the age of forty with a strong character but that had most of his excellencies driven into his soul by hard blows.
 Neither goodness nor great ness (and in accurate analysis they are the same thing) is a hot house plant maturing under careful protection Rather they are metals that become perfect only by much pounding between hammer and anvil.
 l used often to wonder why the old mystics laid so much stress upon the need of having the contempt of men in order to grow saintly. Reflection and ex1 perience have convinced me that they were psychologically cor rect. =
 For it is under lgnominy that man is forced to examine him. self and see if his principles are sound. his motives honest and cause worthy.
 So long as we are favored and fortunate we may be rotting in our souls and never know it.
 Our greatest friend is our en- emy who tells us unpleasant truths and tramples our preten- sions under foot.
 It is then we are thrown back upon ourselves, and must needs convince ourselves that we are worthy to live.
 When men shall revile upon and persecute you. rejoice and be exceedingly glad, :" for so have they done to every honest and brave soul since the worl d began.
 It'sgood for us. We are never powerful until we learn humility. All vanity is weakn ess and there is nothing like a swarm of spite full, vigorous enemies to clear our souls of those magic mists of vaing lory" of which Thomas A. Kempis speaks.
 There's never a nobler mom- ent in a mans life than when he finds himself alone and at bay, backed up against God, the world snarling and barking at him. = Dr. Frank Crane.

iron NTH Their Feet.

One of the most curious sights which
/ beheId In Cairo was men ironing with
their feet, says a writer IN the wide
World Magazine. They had not been
mixing their drinks. It Is simply
custom. of the country. These men
were employed IN the native tailoring
establishments. Except for a long
iron handle, the irons were shaped Ike
the ordinary datiron, only larger. a
solid block of wood rested on the top
Of the iron, and on this the men PLACED
one foot, guiding the iron IN the direc-
ton desired by means OF the handle.
For the sake of convenience the iron
ing boards were raised only a few
inches above the ground. The men
froned with great raptdity, and, how
ever strange the method may seem -
our ideas, it certainly does the WORK
very well and expeditiously.

MISS CLEVELAND
ENTERTAINED BY
CIRCUS ATTACHES
Leading Lady of the Lyric
Stock Company Guest
at Reception

Through the courtesy of the circI1S
management Miss Eleanor Cleveland,
Bridgeport's idolized little artist who
terminates her long engagement at the
Lyric theatre this week and is the
principal topic of conversation just
now, visited the winter quarters of
the Barnum & Bailey circus with a
small party of friends, and under the
guidance of Mr.. Frank Mooney in
spected the many things worth see
ing They visited the construction
and paint departments where the
travelling equipment is being looked
after; the scenic studios, where the
sideshow settings were created; the
costume shops, where Mr.. and Mrs;
the complexities Of circus wardrobe.
Then came the wild animal houses
where the various denizens were put
through their PAGES for the entertain
ment of the visitors. The week old
baby camel still rather wobbIy on its
legs; the mother kangaroo, who car
ried it's little one on her breast, and
constructed pouch on her breast, and
Harry, the infant giraffe, ELECTED
many obs and abs from the party Of
sighteeers.
The. treat of the afternoon was the
baseball game of Mr.. Moneys spe-
cial charges, his beloved elephants,
training. The big, intelligent brutes
entered into the spirit of the game
with as much enthusiasm as a band
of small boys on some backlot. The
unusually risky feats performed by
Mr. Mooney with his gigantic charges,
PROSTATE upon the ground while five
big fellows pile all over him without
injuring him, shows a great conf
dence in their affection for Ahim.
