Progress

When was young I had to go and till the
cornfeld with noe. All, it was weary work, in
deed; paralyzed the noxous weed, and scraped the
dirt around the corn, and yearned to hear the din
ner horn I'd toll all day to beat the band till bis
ters came Oh hoof and hand, and then the husband
man would say, as he dug up my meager pay: WAS
that the best that you could do? You must have
loafed the whole day through" And now | see the
farmers ride on cultivators tall and wide, that till
the corn and slay the weeds, as they drawn by
prancing steeds hundred freckled lads with hoes
might work all day along the rows and not achieve
as much [ ween, as would green and red ma

naught of old time toilsome ways; they do their la
bors sitting down, and ride in choo-choo cars to
town; they find the Doodle growing rank, and have
to stack it in the bank.-Wat Mason.

What to Read
Alone (call number 664), by Mrs. Mary Vir-
ginia Terhune (who is better known by her pen
name, Marion Harand"), was her first novel, and
appeared in 1854, when she twenty-four. The
scene is laid in Richmond Virginia, where Ida
Ross, orphan of fifteen, goes to live with her
guardian, Mr.. Read and his daughter. Josephine,
girl of her own age
With the Reads, who are cold, worldly and
reserved, the impulsive Ida is extremely unhappy.
Fortunately her life is changed by friendship with
schoomate, Garry Carleton. In the well-bre and
kindly households Of the Caretons and their rela-
tives, Ida finds friends and lovers When the girls
enter society. Josephine becomes jealous of lda's
greater attractveness, chiefly because certain Mr..
Lacy falls in love with her. Misunderstanding en-

Ernest Matrevers and it's sequel, Ace The
Mysteries, by Bulwer Lytton (call number 1922. In
the preface to the first named novel, the author
states that he is indebted for the leading idea of the
work-that of moral education or apprenticeship
to Goethe "Wilhelm Meister''
The apprenticeship of Ernest Maltrevers u.s.
however, less to than to life. The hero of the
book is introduced to the reader as young man
of wealth and education just returned to England
from a German university. Belated by storm, he
seeks shelter in the hut of Darvil, man of evil
character. Darvil has daughter Alice young and
beautiful, but of undeveloped moral and mental
power. Her father having planned to rob and muir.
der Maltrevers, she aids the traveller to escape.
Moved by her helplessness, her beauty and her in
nocence, Maltrevers has her educated. and consti-
tues himself her protector declaring his love for her.
From that time she remains faithful to Maltrevers.
By series of circumstances they separated and
Matrevers in the meantime loves many women: Va
lerie; Madame de Ventadour, whom he meets in
Italy; Lady Florence Lascelles, to whom he be-
comes engaged and from whom he is separated by
the Vaccinations of an enemy; and lastly, Evelyn
Cameron, a beautiful English girl Fate, however,
reserves him for the faithful Alice the love of his
youth.
Ernest Maltrevers'' is written in the Byronic
strain, and is fair example of the English romantic
and sentimental novel of the 'thirties.

In seeking the cause of many Of the present day
failures, we find that large number of them are due
to dread of the past'' weak spot in our make-np
is this tendency The old adage that: Sin will

be prepared against the time when the past will
loom large and be detrimental to our prospects.
Let the past act as teachers but don't devil too
much upon it. Strive to live todays life, treat your
fellow as you would be treated 60 out and take
what is coming to you--no more, no less; and if
you do this you need fear naught. No man is in

An Attic Philosopher(call number S13-3SS3),
appeared in 1850. The author Emile Sonvestre,
then forty-four, already well known as writer
of stories; but this book was less story than col
lection OF sympathetic moralizings upon life, the
commonplace adventures of an unknown thinker in
those twelve hosterles of time called months" He
shows us one year in the life of poor workingman
who, watching brilliant Paris from his garrett win
dow. knows moments of envy, ambition, and loneli-
For these moods he finds cure in kindness
to Others in recognition of his own limitations and
in a resolve to make the best of things
The voice is that of Sonvestre himself, deduc-
ing from his experience lessons Of contentment,
brotherly love and simplicity His character sketch
er include the frail and deformed Uncle Maurice
learning self-abnegaton; the drunken Michael Arout
regeuerated thru love and care for his child; the
kind and ever-youthful Frances and Madeline mid
dle-aged workwomen, cheerful under all hardships;
and many vivid personalities. He excels in
presenting the nobility hidden under commonplace
exterors, and the pathos involved in common lace
conditions.
In 1851 the French Academy crowned the( At
tic Philosopher); and in 1854, after the death of
Sonvestre, it awarded the widow the Lambert Prize,
which is always bestowed upon the most useful au-
thor of the year.

An article in The Mediator from the pen of H.
]. Petngill, under the caption: SideIights Sue
cess, is of such worth in phosophic truths that we
enjoy reprinting therefrom the following excerpts
All the world loves winner and the world
admires the pageantry of power and is inclined to
envy the princes of fortune that flash before it's eyes
for an hour day. But the world, general
thing does not know of the toll and battle and mid
night lamp and indomitable courage in the face of
every obstacle and disappointment that lie behind
every brilliant success upon which it gazes today.
Good fortune, unusual talent genius or some Won
derful stroke, TO these popularity attributed the
great successes of the world But it has been my
observation, through many years spent in close
touch with and affairs, that the application of
the simple, homely, common principles at the
command of almost every man, win more than half
of the successes in every line of endeavor.
Good health, hard work and far-sightedness are
the chief essentials of and all the rest are
merely the trimmings that help us to reach goal
more quickly or to achieve greater degree of sue
cess. Every healthy man work hard, if he will
Far-sghtedness consists in merely calling upon the
head to aid the muscles to win to the top of the hill.
1t requires special talent genius to look ahead
to think
The machnist may become an engineer if he
masters the essentials of his calling in the shop and
the principles of his calling from books he can study
at night He must fit himself for the next STEP that
is ALL If he is ambitious rise and will apply old
fashioned common and little thought to his
problem he will climb step by STEP Looking ahead
these steps seemed hard but looking backward he is
surprized how easy they were at how anxious the
world ia tn off nd init
The late James Hurley general manager of the
great Santa Fe Railroad System started in life as
hack driver in country town. Asked many times
for the secret of his wonderful success his nvarable
answer, crisp and emphatic, was hard work"
He simply gave thought to his case and fitted
himself for better position than that of driving
hack. II was small success at first, but it was
easy. tie was using his head more, and he was get
ting more money for it. He gave the direction of
his particular state of affairs over to common sense
and worked hard and harder and worked overtime.
and although he has been dead for several years.
this ex-hack drivers name is byword for success
and achievement among railroad men from Chicago
to the Pacific Coast. James Hurleys case is an ex-
emplifcation of Solomon's proverb: Seest thou a
man diligent in his business He shall stand before
kings He shall not stand before mean men,
There fairies today with their magic
wands, or genii of Aladdin's lamp make us kings
or build us palaces at our wsD and the gold ships
of our dreams will never return from the Spanish
Main If we would win success we must pay for it,
We mnst pay by giving up many pleasures, and de-
voting thought and effort and attention to the
serious thoughts of our life work."

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, April "a.
Easter services at the post chapel
yesterday morning could, not have
been excelled anywhere. The chapel
was beautifully arranged for the occa-
sion. The order of service was the
highest.
5 There were but two lacking fea.
lures; the incapacity of the chapel
and the absence of a pipe organ. Dur
ing the service solo and duet was
rendered which would have graced
Westminster Abbey. London, or Trim
ity chapel, New York II was a great
credit to the army to know that such
talent existed within it. Pvt. Thomas
of Company 6, 25th Infantry, the
chapel orgsnist. acquitted himself be-
yond expression In the musical rendi-
ton His ability of transportation ana
harmonic bellishments made him
somewhat attractive and marked him
as q master of the Keyboard. s
The large number OF officers who
attended the morning service also ad.
ded to the splendor of the service.
The profusion of Easter lilies COW
ering the pulpit; the dignified expos

with the singing of Easter hymns by
the congregation and the solo and

angels must have been listening, for
the reverence of the service was so
penetrating that it touched the hearts
of the most irreligious.

their way satisfied, hoping to see next
