Chasing Elusive Thought.

The thought We cannot quite grasp. the
thought that but dimly rises. how are we TO
bring it into the foreground? How can We
hold our minds patiently to the task Of
thinking?
Some philosophers have had the idea that
to go out Of doors II they are in. or to go
in If they are out helped them to think. An
idea or truth eludes them and they go forth
TO ind IL, or they seek seclusion thinking II
will come to them in the quiet Of a library
Perhaps II comes TO them for doing none Of
these things. yet II comes. II comes Just at
the moment when they think they are as far
from 1t as ever. for their persistence in try
ing 10 ind the right place to think has been
like thinking itself. Their mind has been
fixed on finding out what they set out to find
out. They have had but this one aim
Eternal vigilance brings a mind to It's best
state. so that 1t can operate every moment,
but there are a large number Of people who
never exercise any vigilance at all in tasks
set the mind. Some one el,e does the work
for them, and they pay the price. Some one
else does work. which they might well do,
and gets the price.

We all think in our own tiny ways whe"
we might be thinking as masters. man
has been known to be thinking over such
little things as how to put up window shades
when he ought to have been thinking Of the
problems Of q great concern over which a
stroke of fortune had placed him. He lost

II is the problem Of a carpenter to put to-
gether building out of material that in
the hands Of a different man would be mere
rubbish. We all have small or large collec-
tons Of materials which are as useless to us
as so much lumber until we give our minds
TO the problem of what we can make out
of them. Our collection may be a lot Of lis
cellaneous experience or attachments which
sadly need TO be subjected to some uniting
principle. A great many things which seem
but rubbish become suddenly precious when
the searchlight Of a new thought is turned
upon them.

Many inventors are seeking to do away
with the pneumatic tire and substitute
spring and cushioned wheels which will give
the same effect. Most Of these inventors
fail to master the principle Of the pneumatic
tire before tackling the spring wheel and
hence find their spring wheels are no better
than easy springs on the car itself. and much
more costly.
1t is the inspiring weight Of the rim itself
that binders spring wheels. the chief ad-
vantage of the pneumatic tire being that 1t
warps around an obstruction instead OF
mounting over it. On this point most spring
wheels fail, and others which meet this are of
too great complication and are noisy.
The wheel shown in the drawing has been
recently proposed, and is a combination OF
air springs placed inside the wheel. Con-
nections are furnished for pumping each
cushion. The rim weight is inspiring.

Develops Strong Men.

Woods work is no sinecure- 1t is hard
life, but It is out in the open, and 1t develops
strong men. The city man who thinks the
forest a playground has never rolled out with
the "jobber's sun" in winter. broken
" jam in the spring, or driven rioting rivers
in summer " The tobber's sun " Is the moon.
Advantage must be taken OF seasonable
weather in the woods. This wt.s especially
so In the old days, when there was less log
ging by railroad. Then a good snow for
hauling meant that every bit OF daylight
must be utilized. Tne men were rolled out
early. Often It was to breakfast at or
O'Clock and labor until the darkness Of night
made work impossible. The men often walked
to their work in the woods by moonlight
in the morning. Hence came the appeilation
for the moon Of "jobber's SUM-"

also with danger. Many a good man has been

Inability to Think.

Men of place and power who can think, who
have trained themselves persistently TO do
so. make great use Of other men. while the
latter are quite unconscious of the fact. The
great man recognizes that the other man has
"a wealth Of a certain sort of experience Of
wnish he is making no use. He calls the other
to him and quizzes him and the lesser man
gives % the greater facts which the latter
uses to excellent advantage and profit.
This is a thing which has happened thou
sands OF times in the worlds history, and
our sympathy is with the man who gets no
credit, but there is always a question %
whether he could actually lose a thing
which he did not know he possessed.
The man in humble place. il he afterwards
recognizes that his idea has been turned t.
great service, will often excuse himself by
saying that in his possession 1t was like a
mine which the ner has no money TO work
But this Is a confession Of his inability to
think to look the problem of the development
in the eye and ard by pure will way. And
low that his idea has gone from him to CT
rich another. there is no Use in MS SrowInG
bitter and resantful. This spirit will not
help him to enlarge whatever creative power
he has. so that he will not only have othei
ideas or truths in his possession. but so that
he will know how to guard and make them
OF service in his own advancement.
II is often hard to drive our bodies TO their
tasks. It is many times harder 10 drive Our
minds. The ideal is to keep them in such a
state Of activity and alertness that they will
need no spur. But some minds have never
once been reused to this state and some have
fallen back into shiftless habits
As a pure means to happiness there is moth
ing more serviceable than the ability to
think It removes mems lives from the COM
monplace. Things trivial become interest
ing when given the right thought connec-
tons. Thinking is an inexpensive excite
ment for the mind.

amount of savings in the prison safe and
the pile OF stock in the storeroom was grow
ing. Still another year went-and then, one
Thanksgiving day, the pardon came and
E. E. Brooks of Denver went forth a free
man.
Then 1t was that he gathered his stock
of canes Of penholders. of horned hatracks
and gew gaws and started right back to the
scene OF his troubles, Denver.
IF I'm going to make the fight any
where. I'm going to make it right where I
was accused and convicted" he said and
resolutely he started.
It was winter then. There was little chance
for the selling of curios. And so Brooks,
not to be stopped. began taking orders for
gas mantles. for books, for periodicals-any-
thing possible to enable him to make a liv-
ing until the next summer. The summer came
at last and Brooks started in earnest.
He opened a little store and his wares
attracted attention. Tourists saw them.
They heard his story and they bought at
fancy prices. Brooks had hundreds OF canes
made OF building papers-some from the
pages OF magazines. He sold them all the
way from $3.50 to $40 His penholders went.
He gained capital fhen with the knowledge
Of gas fixtures which he had gained through
his winter Of work. he put in a stock Of
those wares and began a new business.

At Last the Pardon Came.

Soon the work Of the " long timer began
to attract attention and visitors to the prison
asked to see him. His wares began TO find
a certain trade-but there was always an
unsold portion. With the money that was
taken in Brooks bought new material. The
left overs he placed to one side, saving
them for the time when the pardon came.
A year went by, two. three. Brooks was
given a little place in the store room TO put
the overflow Of his work. Four. FIVE, six
wears went by. Brooks had a comfortable

He had competition. There was a man on
the corner who also sought to sell gas fix
lures like Z. E. Brooks displayed. He learned
that Brooks had been a convict, that he once
had killed a man. And so he caused signs
TO be printed depicting Brooks in the act of
killing his father-in-law. calling him a muir
derer and a coward and pleading with people
not TO buy OF him. But Brooks smiled.
Il am making an honest fight" he said
and people believed. His little business pros
pered He enlarged his store to the some
what strange combination OF bakery. gas
supplies. and confectionery. The combina-
ton seemed TO be a good one.
Now, almost any day. you can walk into

you. He will always be there TO smile and to
assure you that II there is anything you
want, he'll either find It In his stock or get
1t for you
And some day I'll persuade the people
that I really was innocent Of that killing.
he will tell you II you can manage to get on
