Most people, when making a summary
OF their own good points, assure you
seriously, II haven't particle OF jealousy

ing this statement are telling vast un-
truths. Unfortunately, particles of
jealousy" seem inherent In the average
human being. And there is probably no
more contemplate petty vice and no more
dangerous leading to major Viciousness
than this same quality OF jealousy.
The most usual form of jealousy 10
take is that OF begrudging the right OF
ones loved one to care for other people

wise happy wife will make herself miser-
able because OF her husbands affection

genial comrade, or even because of n

business way.

sweetheart's mother or OF some old friend
he chances to mention to her.

There is probably no cure for Jealousy
except the swing OF the pendulum OF ones
common sense toward sanity, kindly
judgment and the saving grace OF q
sense OF proportion.
Jealousy takes two forms-that OF fear,

pecting all the vast realms OF the un

Did you ever feel disconnected? Disap-
pointed? Discouraged? Thoroughly out

ings? Sure that you were meant for

dition, and yet quite unable to impress
that fact upon your unsympathetic

undeniable fact that there was little or
no uplift in your environment? Who is
there among us who has not suffered

to be part of the very fibre OF our mental

So much for the unforgettable year
of 1776, at mention OF which our hearts
thrill.
Now. the next great date in history is
1914. Around this date will swing and
center the names of men who have made
their impress indelibly on the times
For instance, the name of Thomas A.
Edison will never die. You cannot look
out of window in any civilized city of
the world without seeing the effects of
the hendiworlS and the brains Of this
man. Edison, born in the little village of
Milan. o. Not a steamship plows the

Laurier. Thomas Shaughnessy, William
Van Horne, Marshal Field.
All of these men did things, and ar,
doing things. for even those who are
dead have souls that are still march
ing on.
At present the artists, writers anC
orators are playing pianissimo.
The great men of this day are invent
I ors builders-business men. This is thei
distinguishing matchmaking humanity
ministering to the thoughts and needs o
the time, and making of the world
better place because they are here.
And my opinion is that we are on tn
eve of bigger things than the world ha
ever seen.
Perhaps the greatest discovery of tn
age is the fact that truth is an asset an
lie is liability.
1t is getting grained into the nature an
