sword. gains the truest success
and wears the brightest crown
No one is, or can be, the best
preacher, the best lawyer, the
best physician, or the be t
business man, who is not truly,
grandIy, gloriously and I'M
selfishly man.
If you would climb to the
! highest places. carry off the
richest prizes, get the most
enjoyment out OF lite. and
have the sublimest old age,
you must conquer the base
elements OF nature, you must
have every atom OF the dross
of dishonesty squeezed, ham
mered, burned out, il neces-
sary.
You must come as sound as
24~karat gold, as true as rest
steel. You must prove your
self as reliable as nature, as in
corruptible as sunlight, as pure
and sweet IN your personality
as the breezes OF heaven. You
must scorn all meanness,
Iloathe all false pretenses, be
afraid Of every kind Of dishcn-
esty and hate a lie as you
would hate the devil himself.
You must determine stoutly to
be what you would appear.
There is premium Oh men
like thar. The great world,
disguised with frauds and
pretenders and shams OF all
kinds, will know such a man
as soon as he appears. 1t will
prize him, honor him, reward
him, make him famous and
render him immortal. %. F. ].

MANHOOD

Lies best prizes are won,
not by adroitness or sharpness,
not by skill or strength. but by
that grandest thing known on
earth-manhood. Honorable,
educated. active manhood is to
rule the world.
Always there have been bad
men. corrupted, degraded. but
sharp and cunning, who have
made great gains by great
frauds, or crafty swindling, and
have held some sort OF posi-
fion in the world in spite OF
their want Of character, tor
there are parasites and money
worshippers who honor and
applaud the man of money
without caring to know how he
came by his possessions.
BUT THESE ARE. THE EXCEPTIONS
The true man is the thing
most priced by the world.
True manhood is the wisest,
sharpest, strongest, most clear
sighted far-sighted contestant
in the. battlefield of life. Man
hood carries the shafpest

FRIDAY. AUGUST 20 1915.
Do Trifles Annoy?

What blessed thing it is
that we can forget! To-day's
troubles looks large, but a
week hence they will be for
gotten and buried out OF sight.
Says one writer: III you
would keep a book and daily
put down the things that
worry you, and see what be
comes Of them, it would benefit
you. You allow thing tc
annoy you, just as you allow
a fly to settle on you and
plague you; and you lose your
temper and you justify your
self by being thrown of your
balance by causes which you
do not trace out. But if you
could see what it was that
threw you off your balance be-
fore breakfast. and put it
down in a little book, and
follow it up and follow it out,
and ascertain what becomes OF
it, you could see what a fe oil
you were in the natter
The art Of forgetting is a
blessed art, but the art OF
overlooking is quite as import
ant. And it we should take
time to write down the origin,
progress and outcome OF a
few OF our troubles, it would
make us so ashamed of the
fuss we make over them, that
we should be glad to drop
such things and bury them at
once IN eternal forgetfulness.
Life is too short to be worn
out in petty worries, frettings
hatreds and vexations.
