A MATTER OF INDIVIDUALITY

But what about Dick?" queried
The-Mother-of-Three, the Indignation
which stirred her tender heart creep
ing into her voice.
Why" answered The-Mother-of.
One bit impatiently, have not just
told you that made up my mind
when Dick was born that he should
be great artist. think it will be
just too lovely to be pointed out as
the mother of renowned painter,
don't you?"
But" reiterated The-Mother-of-
Three, what about Dick? How do
you know that he is artistically gifted?
How do you know that he will have
the ability to become a great painter?
Whatever may be his gifts you must
remember that they are God-given.
And he has right to travel the road
to which they point, even as you have
right to be yourself.
why" she asked, how dare you
say that Dick will be great painter,
and to boast of the pride you shall
feel as his mother?"
The clear-seeing eyes of the speaker
flashed their indignation, and her
usually gentle voice took on an un-
wonted sternness, for this matter of
individuality was one in which she
was much interested.
Maybe you have made up your mind
to make an artist out of Dick" she

effort to turn him into channels that
are not his own. Don't try to force
him into being what you would like
to have him. If he is intended to
paint pictures, and become a great
artist, you will find it out. And II he
was intended to follow a commercial
life you will know in plenty OF time
One thing is certain: he would make a
success OF neither the one nor the
other under compulsion."
The speakers face was aglow with
hope and enthusiasm. for at last she
saw that Neutrality-suspicious. had
gained full comprehension of how
wicked thing 1t is to interfere with
the intentions of God in the matter OF
a human life.

Nonsense" said The-Mother-of-
One. why Dick is in art school now.
Everybody knows that any artistic ac-
complishment is just the knack of
sticking at It, If Dick keeps on work
ing at his art from now until he is
through high school he ought to be
ready by then to do something really
worth while

gle church which Is famous under the
name Of st. Appollinare in Classe. The
site of most vanished cities is marked
by ruined walls or at least mounds.
OF Classe there is not a wall nor q
hillock. All that was not overthrown
and carried away has sunk into the
soil, and only by excavation can here
and there some fragment of founda-
ton be revealed. The surviving
churches within the city of Ravenna
itself are numerous, and many more
than the present population requires.
Yet they are only few compared
with the number that once existed.
MausoIeum Of Gala PIacidia.
The earliest building of interest still
existing in Ravenna is the small but
most attractive little mausoleum of
Gala Placidia. 1t attempted no rival
ry with the mausolea of the great Ro-
man Imperial days, such as that of
Trajan or even the Constantinian San
ia Costanza. 1t is only little cruci-
form structure of brick, surmounted
over the crossing by tiny dome; but
the three sarcophagi that fill its arms
are stately, and the lining of gold
ground mosaic that covers its lunettes
and vaults glows with all the splen-
dor which ancient artists knew 80
well how to attain; while the marble
revetment below them, admirably re-
stored. and the marble pavement and
thin alabaster window slabs likewise

decoration which, for perfect taste,
subdued magniflcence, and simple dig

spacious marble floor is divided by the
two great ranges of columns, noble an

standing upon sculptured bases which
are not buried. The simple apse, en-
rfched with mosaic, is all the more
splendid in effect because SO much
else of the walls is bare. An ancient

One other monument OF great inn

out brief mention. This is the mau-

rising, as ground levels in towns nor

they were built. The process is a

POISONED
HIMSELF AT 40!

Death by slow poison is killing many
a man, young in years, who has made the
fatal mistake of failing to understand the
warnings of kidney trouble
When your kidneys begin to lag in
throwing off natural poisons that accum-
ulate in your body. the first warnings
come in little twinges, stiffness across
your back and hips. Urniation may be too
frequent; you may feel tired in the
morning when you should feel your best.
The best known remedy for these trou-
bles is GOLD MEDAL HARLEM OIL Cap
sules. This remedy has stood the test for
more than 200 years since it was first
produced in the ancient laboratories in
Harlem, Holland. 1t acts directly on
the kidneys and bladder and gives relief

GOLD MEDAL Harlem Oil Capsules are

had at any drug store. Prices &c SOC and
