babe in the palace of a king with

bends over me when others sleep,

me away to be held for kings ran

I am the stolen princess OF some
royal house, and no doubt other girls
my age have the same conviction
about themselves. Somewhere, away
off beyond the seas, there walks
through stately halls a proud queen
with bowed head who mourns her
stolen child, and her king sits on his
throne and weeps. Can you not see

HAVE THE FINAL DECISION
Great Men Borrow Others. Brains, bu,
In the End Always Decide
for Themselves.

The wise man seeks the wisdom oi
others, but, IL also strong, decides for
himself and acts on his own judg.
ment. The unwise man relies first
and last on others, for even IL he
seeks wisdom in multitude Of coun.
selors, he is the plaything of the lat
est adviser and does what this man
says, no matter If it fatty contradicts
what was first advised.
There exists confusion of thought
between taking counsel and relying on
oneself. 1t appears to-be thought that
asking information about ones course
from those who have information that
he has not Is leaving the decision to
them. But the two things are not
the same. An intelligent or sensible
man knows that his Judgment may be
biased by looking at matters only from
his own point of view or from having
insufficient data for forming a judg.
ment: But when he has consulted
friends and increased his information,
then, If strong and wise, he thinks
for himself and steers his own course.
This is the method OF such men as
Socrates and Lincoln, Napoleon.
Roosevelt and Wilson. Socrates did
not believe he was the wisest of the
Greeks, but he questioned his fellows
everlastingly until he became con-
vinced perforce that he was less un-
wise than they. Napoleon held a coun-
ell Of war with his field marshals be.
fore every battle and heard and
weighed their every argument, but the
final decision was made by himself.
Roosevelt took his cabinet freely into
his counsel and gave weight to their
Judgment, but 1t was he himself who
decided the course of President Roose-
Velt. Mr.. Wilson, in his own pictur.
esque phrase, "borrows all the brains
he can," but the man has yet to be
discovered who determines his iudg.
mont as to what the president should
do.
The wise man knows his own limi.
tations and tries to enlarge himself
through the wisdom and counsel of
others. Then, if also strong, he takes
the tiller himself and steers the ship.
