Masculine Loyalty.

The family consists of two small
children and their devoted parents,
and of the latter papa usually helps
the small boy to bed, mamma taking
care of the small girl Occasionally,
however, something takes papa away
from home in the evening and mamma
does double duty. After one such ex-
perience young Philip conf1ded to his
father the true and deep-seated reason
why he preferred masculine assistance
in regard to saying his prayers.
Mammals all right, of course, for 9
lady" he generously conceded, but
you see, father, Gods man, and
you're a man, and I'm going to be a
man, so / suppose it's natural for us to
stick together"

to the front against ali sorts of OBJ
stacles have proved the turning point
In tens of thousands of careers. They
hold on when they were ready to let
go; they have induced them to perse-
we're when they had decided to turn
back. They have given them fresh
hope and renewed confidence in them
selves when those dearest to them
even had predicted failure and had
told them that to continue would be
to waste their time.
Smiles "Self-Help" was q wonder
full stimulus to me and l believe it
has proved the turning point in the
careers of tens of thousands of
youths. Nothing else is more fascinat-
ing than the romance of achievement
under difficulties. The youth full of
hope, bubbling over with enthusiasm,
reads the life-stories of men and wom-
en- who have succeeded under difficult
ties, and he says to himself: Why
can't l do it," To which something
within him replies: Il can and !
Wilt"
Ambition requires a great deal and
great variety of food to keep it Wig
orous. An ambition must be backed
by robust will power, stern resolve,
physical energy, powers of endurance,
to be effective
The fact that you have an almost
uncomfortable impulse, a great alb
sorbing ambition to do a thing which
meets with the approval of your judg-
ment and your better self, is a notice
served upon you that you can do the
thing. and should do it at once.
There are tens of thousands of day
laborers in this country-common
workmen-p putting their lives into
drudgery, who, if they had only been
aroused to their possibilities, would
have been employers themselves
would have been men of force, of
standing in their community-but
they have been held down by their
ignorance of their own power. They
have never discovered themselves.
and so they must be "hewers of wood
and drawers of water" We see
them everywhere splendid men and
women, who impress us as giants in
possibility, hut who are totally ig
norant of the great forces that are
sleeping within them.
Why not take an inventory of your
self at the beginning of this new
year? If you are dissatisfied with
what you are doing and think you
ought to do better, try to discover,
no matter how long 1t takes you,
just where your trouble lies. Find
out the things that keep you back.
Make long searching tours of dis
covery in your own consciousness.
Say to yourself over and over again:
Why can others do such remarka-
BILE things while I do ordinary, COM
mon things? Constantly ask your
self: IF others can do them, why
cannot II"
You may find some great nuggets
of gold in these tours of self-discov-
cry which you never dreamed you
possessed-great possibilities of pow
er which you never uncovered before,
and which may, if developed, revolu-
tionize your life.

HE JUST FILLED THE BILL

Soon after President Wilson came
into Office he began hunting for a
man. He kept three essentials in
mind during the progress of the
search. The man, he said. had to be
physically and mentally robust, and a
Democrat, of course, and he ought to
have been a Union soldier in the
war between the North and South. If
such man could be found, the presi-
dent promised to appoint him commits
sioner of PENSIONS There were plenty
of veterans, he agreed, but they were
old and infirm and not competent to
manage one of the greatest bureaus
in Washington.

congress from the Fifth district of
Ohio, heard the news, he FASTENED to

Bellevue. the famous old hospital
OF New York city. has been led to per-
ceive that to care for man or woman
physically is not the end Of its respon.

thousand persons a year in hospital
and dispensary is today but one side
OF the great work accomplished nv
that institution This change has
been brought about by woman
Miss Mary E. Wadley. AS an en-
ployee of the hospital she saw pa
t1ents leaving Bellevue discharged as
cured who had not regained sufficient
strength to take up their work. She
saw families broken up because the
breadwinner lay ill in the hospital and
the smaller and weaker members
were unable to shift for themselves.

enough to have a home to which he
could return could not get the care
there necessary to insure complete

fact that it was the command OF the

public funds should be so used until
the expiration OF ten years from the
date upon which the Parish OF Je1Ier'

heretofore demanded the expenditure
