 At furst I did not regard the proposi sion of visiting Atlantick City with much favur. Atlantick City is phase of resort for the suns of the idul rich, and predda- tory weelth, and I felt that the plain pee pull mite resint me getting on intimate turns with these finansal vampires have been led to beleeve that Atlantick Citty was a phase where they put on lots of style. I am prepared to inform the publick that I can nail this bass slandlir on the spot. They do not put on lots of style in Atlantick City. They do not as arule-- put on lots of enny thing at all.

The next time I saw him he was down on the Board Walk getting sum moor shocks. / I judged from the glimmer in his eagle eye, and the kindly expression of intense inter rust and satisfaction on his fase, that he had accumulated about four millyun volts of perfectly good shocks that afturnoon.

lies in being able to endure
contumely without resent
ment For to- day there is a les
son in the letter of Lincoln to
Major General Hooker
Hooker had harshly and un-
justly criticised Lincoln his COM
mander- IN chief. and he had en-
barrassed Burnside, his ranking
officer But Lincoln waived all
this in Difference to the virtues
that he believed Hooker possess
ed and promoted him to succeed
Burnside. Lincoln wrote:
Here is the letter:
Il must fear that the spirit you
have aided to infuse into the ar
my. of criticising their com
mander and Withholding conf
dence from him. win now turn
upon you. / shall assist you as
far as can to put it down.
But neither you nor Napoleon,
if he we're alive again, could get
any good out of an army while
such a spirit prevails in it. And
now beware of rashness; beware
of rashness, but with energy and
sleepless vigilance go forward and
give us Victories"
One point in this letter is espe-
cially worth our consideration. I
refer to the habit of sneering,
carpnS, grumbling and CRITICS
ing
The man who is anybody and
who does anything is surely going
to be criticised, vilifed and mis-
understood. This is a part of the
penalty for greatness, and every
great man understands it-and
understands. too, that it is no
proof of greatness.
Not long ago l met Yale stu
dent home on vacation l am
sure he did not represent the true
Yale spirit, for ne was full of
criticism and bitterness toward

was not with Yale the trouble
was with the young man. He had
mentally Gwelt on some trivial
Sights until he had got so out of
harmony with the institution that
he had lost the power to derive
any benefit for it. Yale is not a
perfect institution-a fact, I sup
pose, that President Hadley and
most Yale men are quite willing
to admit But Yale does supply
certain advantages, and it de-
pends upon the students whether
they viii avail themselves of these
advantages or not.
If you are student in a col

there. You get good by giving it.

If the concern where you are
employed is all wrong, and the
Old Man a curmudgeon, it may
be well for you to go to the Old
Man and confidentially, quietly
and kindly tell him that he is q
curmudgeon. Explain to him that
his policy is absurd and prepos-
ferrous. Then show him how to
reform his ways, and you might
offer to take charge of the con-
cern and cleanse it of it's secret
faults.
Do this, or if for any reason you
should prefer not, then take your
choice of these: Get out, or get
in line. You have to do one or
the other-now make your choice.
If you work for man, in
heavens name work for HIM
If he pays you wages that sup
ply you your bread and butter,
work for him-speak well of him,
think well of him, stand by him
and stand by the institution he
represents.
If put to the pinch, an ounce
of loyalty is worth a pound of
cleverness.
If you must vilify, condemn
and disparage, why resign your
position, and when you are out
side damn to your hearts content.
But so long as you are a part of
an institution, do not condemn
it.
Everywhere you will find those
out-of-job fellows. Talk with
them and you will find that they
are full of railing, bitterness and
condemnation. That was the
