Evening Chat
The Two Books.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

81 imagine music must make feel
ings and paint pictures in the minds
of the people who hear it according to
their own nature as much as according
to the music itself. The musician
might compose something wanting you
to think of the Holy Grail and some
people who heard it might think of a
prayer meeting, and some would think
of how good they were themselves,
and a boy might think of himself at
the head of a. solemn procession car
rying a banner and riding a white
horse, and then if there were some
think of a circus."-Booth Tarking-
ton.
The other day 1 heard two women
arguing about a book.
One said it was a wonderful book
and so true to life.
The other couldn't see anything in
it at all.
Each considered it so strange
that the other didn't feel as she did
about the book.
But as 1 listened I didn't think it
strange at all. You see, they weren't
talking about the same book They
thought they were and it was the same
book in one way but not in another.
They had read the same book but they
weren't talking about the same for
the book each was talking about was
the book as it read after she had
translated it by the vocabulary of her
own experience and poured her own
emotions into it.
And as they were women of widely
differing experience each read very
different translation of the same book.
Even the simplest thing we read
we translate with our own experiences
as vocabulary. A newspaper clipping,
a love poem, a Bible story, in every
one who reads them each of these
arouses different mental pictures.
instance, must mean something en-
tirely different to the girl who looks
forward to her wedding and the old
woman who looks back to hers.
Wouldn't it be interesting to take
some familiar Bible story and have
half a dozen people describe the men
tai picture it created for them.
For instance, when l read the in
junction not to hide your light under
bushel, 1 always see in my mind 8
eye a candlestick under big buShel
basket which used to hang in our
cellar.
Again, when read about Shadrach,
Meschac and Abednego in the fiery
furnace, 1 see them standing in the
distinctly cramped quarters of our old
furnace.
And so into everything we read we
pour our own experience What won
der that no two people like the same
books. What wonder that the story
which is beautiful to me is meaning
less to my neighbor. He can never
read the story that I read. 1 can never
read that other story that wakens and
thrills him.
For many men, many minds, is just
another way of saying, many men,
many experiences.

THE YOUNG MANS CAPITAL.

Young man, don't lament because
you were not born into this world with
a silver spoon in your mouth, writes
John A Sleicher, in Leslie's. Don't
worry because you do not have rich
father. Don't grieve over the thought
that poverty is your worst handicap
The most successful captains of indus
try in this country came into the
world as poor as you are, some of
them much poorer, but they had
plenty of capital of the best kind If
you haven't it, it is probably your own
fault. Better than money and inheri-
lance. a settled income or bank ac-
count, for the young man who wishes
to succeed in business, is his health
That is the foundation of all things
substantial and real in life so far as
happiness is concerned. If, together
with health, you have character. in
telligence, industry and politeness,
you have the things that constitute
the most valuable capital with which
to start upon your business career.
Every moment you spend repining
oyer your condition and envyirg the
success of others, or in anxiety be-
cause you do not move as fast as some
one else who had a better start is a
wasted moment. Think of the sue
cessful men who started as you are
starting. Judge Gary, head Of the
most important Steel Corporation, was
farmer boy; A Barton Hepburn. the
eminent New York banker, was
school teacher; John d. Rockefeller
was clerk in a grocery; Andrew Car
negie, a telegraph operator; Henry C.
Frick, master builder of the steel in
dustry and possessor of one of the
finest art galleries in the world,
worked on a farm during vacation to
get money with which to make his
start: John d. Archbold. president of
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, was a struggling salesman in
the early days of the oil excitement in
Pennsylvania, and Frank A. Wander
lip. president of one of the greatest
banks in New York, was a newspa-
per reporter in Chicago. These are
not solitary examples. You can find
them all about you in every commun-
ity. It is the common history of near

A crooked attorney can be the worst
crook
A man usually deserves as much as
he will stand.
A woman's tears do not amount to
much; but they still scare the men.
There are a good many heroes in
novels who couldn't hold a job in real

QUAKER MEDITATIONS.

IFrom the Philadelphia Record.1
Honesty pays in the long run, but
lots of people are merely sprinters.
When a man has clear conscience
he doesn't care if people do see
through him.
When a man forgets he is a gentle
man he can't very well blame his
memory.
The man who gets the reputation of
being a good talker is apt to be a poor
gutter
Whisky improves with age, in which
respect it has something on the man
who drinks it.
You never can tell. Many a man
who boasts that he pays as he goes is
one of those slow-going fellows
The fact that every cloud has sill
yer lining is poor consolation to a man
after he gets wet to the skin.
Ennui isn't always contagious.
Many a fellow makes other people
tired who is absolutely tireless in do
ing it.

She said that Ned Henderson had

Miss Hollyhocks; so she had posed as
Miss Hollyhocks in the library. know

the original of his painting and the
whole thing a mere trick of fate.
But she could not carry out the de-
ception- She made this shamed con-
fession and said she would rather not
see him again.
For long time Newton sat staring
at the fire; then suddenly he went to
the painting of Miss Hollyhocks and
began to paint feverishly. Then he
telephoned Mrs. Coleman and asked
her to bring Dorothy to the studio.
And please, like the angel you are"
he added, give US a moment alone"
She laughed and promised.
1t was nearly noon when his Jap

Bright and early in the morning
the two nasturtium plants set TO
work at their task. They stored nm
sunbeams-oh. many more than they
had ever used before-they. sucked
up all the good rich moisture thex
could get from the ground; and all
the while they were working. they
kept very quiet-not a word did they
whisper of the surprise they were
making for the sunbeamsl
In one day they had made a tiny
green bud. The second day the bud
was so big and happy, 1t spilled open
on one side and showed a hint OF
color. And on the third day, the
blooms were ready Come and
