the millions man can gather. Happiness is al
state Of soul which laborer in blue overalls
may possess in measure so abundant that mil
ionaire in broadcloth is beggar in comparison.
Mr.. Brashears life, as sketched in the American,
proves again that happiness is not purchasable
commodity, but is a state of soul which any man
may have for the asking and doing.
There is the sunshine of contentment in the
observation of Mr.. Brashear, IF you cannot get
interested in the world about you, or in other
worlds, at least get interested in something. Re-
move love and interest from whatever you are
doing, and you have nothing but waste. Some
where beneath the stars there is something that
you alone were meant to do. Never rest until
you have found what it is"
Suppose all of us took to heart this bit of
duce. Every rag picker, every street cleaner,
every trench digger, every mechanic, every
clerk every banker, every writer, every profess
sional man, would go through the day whistling
and singing. IF he believed his vocation were
not the one nature intended him to follow, he
would not kick and growl but would spend the
evenings at home seeking that thing under the
stars Providence has set aside his task in life.
Mr. Brashear had to go through the fiery furn-
ace of drudgery and toll, but he kept on striv-
ing until he found in the stars themselves that
thing which he alone was meant to do.
A perusal of Mr.. Brashear's rise from a
laborer to a scientific man of the highest quail
ity is one of the most refreshing, inspiring and
thought provoking article we have read in many
a month.

A Simple Man: A Great Man

We read and hear so much now days of max
ing fortunes that some of US believe we are rank
failures because we cannot clip our share Of the
golden fleece. Again, we are adjured to lead the
simple life and are told that it pays in the end
and that contentment and happiness surely come
from a life devoted to conscientious pursuit of
duty. Both bits of advice have become common
places and generalities for most of us. So it is
pleasing now and then to discover man who has
captured fortune of happiness and demon
strates daily that he is happy in distributing his
happiness to others.
The American Magazine for July details the
story OF Uncle John" Brashear, student of stars,
dispenser of wisdom, recipient of honors from
learned societies and institutions and wthal a
plain neighborly mechanic who worked for twen-
ty-five years in the rolling mills of Pittsburg
while he studied the lights of the sky and per-
fected instruments to observe and measure them
Doctor Brashear is man among men. He
had hobby youth. It was to know and study
the stars. The grinding toll of the rolling mills
could not demolish his ambition and his love. Mr.
Brashear did not rail at fate that kept him
tied to the shops; neither did he blame existing
social conditions. These were only incidentals
to his whole plan of life, namely, to acquire for
himself and his neighbors pleasure from the
skies.
The American prints a letter from Mr.
Charles M. Schwab, paying this tribute:
"Perfection without regard to cost and with
out regard to the labor involved, has been his
aim. I have known him at times to get so inter-
ested in the struggle for perfection that he
would turn out an instrument which in the max
ing cost several times its selling cost But the
results were that he attained happiness and gave
the world the fullest possible benefit of his extra
ordinary scientific knowledge and skill. And is
that not, after all, the best use a man can make
of great talents?"
Mr.. Schwab is right in his judgment on Mr.
Brashear. Happiness cannot be bought with all

SIXTH STORY
Sowing the Wind.

There were two pictures on Mar,

in her heart there was only one.
On the table. nesting In big silver
frames, were the photographs OF
Henry Scott and of his handsomer
and younger brother, Hugh. In her
heart the image Of Hugh Scott reigned
alone.
Cyrus Turnbull had been guardian
to both the orphaned Scott boys. And
he had taken both OF them into his

Henry Scott was a man after the
old brokers' own type-honest. clever,
q glutton for work. And in time these
qualities made him manager of the
firm.
Hugh frankly hated work. As a re.
suit he had more of It to do than
had his more ambitious brother.
Being only mortal, he naturally laid
his mlschance at the door OF hard
luck and would have sworn that his
brother owed his rise to fortune.
