- When 1 asked for
drink of water it was quickly
brought, and as | finished the cup
l was handed a rosebud by the
gardner.
l thought l was possibly ex-
pected to buy the rose in exchange
for the water, but when l reached
for my loose change the gardner
put up hand and exclaimed:
"Just for memory of the day,
sir-nO charge"
That interested me, and telling
him / was an American in strange
land, asked him if it was his GUS
tom to give flowers away.
whenever l can," he said. Il
do fairly we'll here, and I'm sure |
have nothing to complain of. But
there are many tired, discouraged
and often thirsty people come this
way, and bit of flower chirks
them up just as your kind greeting
pleased me. The cost to me is
little, if anything, the pleasure is
much. Really, helping one another
is comfortable, sir; isn't it,"
That little experience l had with
this humble gardner is what [ call
one phase of making character an
asset. He was young, not rich,
battling out his own work with his
garden, but ready to meet all
comers with a kindly word and
when he could, a flower.
l am under the impression that
some young folks think character
is best displayed, is most powerful,
through exceptionally fine clothes,
or gift of quick wit. or even
display of money, which possibly
they have not earned through their
own efforts. They are mistaken.
The assests of character that aid
young and old to stand securely
before God and man cannot be
measured by wit, clothes or gold.
| Not that | would have a boy
despise clean dress, a capable
tongue, or savings account.
These are helpful accessories to
character if rightly used, but char
acter as truly formed, is something
far beyond these and has it's origin
in the most hidden recesses of the
heart. 1t is from and of the di-
vinity that has given us life, no
matter how far through error we
may depart from the true purpose
of that life.
In Berlin, last summer, | met a
young East Indian, fitting himself
for a physician. He came from
that vast, seething world of India,
which knows so little of us and of
which we know much less. l was
curious to know why at eighteen
years of age he had decided to de-
vote himself to medicine, to prac-
tice among poverty stricken
people. A desire for wealth could
not have prompted him to it, for
he frankly told me that he pro-
posed to work among the humblest
people of his race.
And for why?" I asked.
They need the knowledge | can
bring them. [ wish to live and ]
wish to have name as physician,
but most of all wish to help my
people-to show them the way
your people know"
Is that not manifestation of
the highest kind of characteristic
wish to help those at home who
could not come to Germany and
learn what he was learning? Earth
ly power, cheap glories, or riches,
did not appeal to him. He wished
to be scientific physician, a man
of ability, he desired to win repu-
tation on his knowledge, but above

- must, for we're in the
league now and intend to stay for
awhile. The M. S. P.'s certainly
deserve a great deal of credit for
the steady game they put up
against the visitors. The Nc
Governs had in their lineup a
number of veteran players and
stars of former years, all we'll
known to the fans hereabouts.
When we went to secure the visit
or's batting order just preceding
the start of the game, Al. Dretch-
ko, former q. of M. pitcher, rat
tied off a list of names that cooled
our ardor somewhat, even with the
mercury at ninety or thereabouts.
Commencing with the two Cap
rons-Ralph and George-he didn't
even pause to let us catch our
breath but kept right on, adding
Johnny McGovern, Kehoe, Kinkle.
Pause. Then with malicious
gleam in his eye. he said: Let's
see, who've l got down for first

managed to articulate and felt
little better because we thought
he'd fired all his heavy artillery.
WELL" he countered, put Ross

familiar, that name did finally
we guessed: 'Yuh don't mean
Claude Rossman?" Sure We
registered a feeting thought that
he wouldn't need anybody at first,
as our chances of getting to that
station seemed to grow less as he
proceeded. He finally stated that
he would undertake to pitch, re-
serving that for his last shot. We
don't remember how we managed
to make our way to the bench.
Quite number of out of town
visitors were on hand and the
Twin City press was we'll repre-
sented. Lee pitched a strong
game and was steady in the
pinches, keeping the visitors down
to six. In the first inning Geo.
Capron slammed one over to Main

Govern ahead of him. Wag, Fan,
Lew and Della batted we'll for the
home team. Fan and Lew con-
tributed some nice catches of long
flies in the outfeld. The visitors
started strong but seemed to wilt

their lineup were necessary. 1t

the boys continue their good
record. Story of the game:

In the Yale Review for January
there liz an article on the subject
OF preparedness which onght to be
widely read at tins time. 1t is by
Rev. Arson Phelps Stokes, Secre.
tary of the University, and pre-
seDts the subject In a way at once
judicial and earnest. The article
has also been issued IN pamphle let
form, In the closing sentences
Mr.. Stokes gives very well the uly
tlmate. argument Of this whole
problem, which is now stirring
the minds Of people more perhaps
than any other question since
antislavery days. He aays:
If the United States tries to
brighten Europe by her arma.
ments her distrnst of us and her
misinterpretlng Of our motives
will lead to deep suspicious and
hatred--aDj these are the things
that surely breed war Knowing
that armed peace haa proved a
sham and delusion in Europe, why
should not our nation be willing
to take risks for real peace IN the
interest Of world tired of the
cruelties aud horrors Of waif A
reputation for fair dealing will
prove better and most lasting in
suraDce' against an uDprovoked
attack than any undue reliance
upon monster nipple ments of
Mars, which are efficient for less
than a score Of years and then GO
TO the scrap heap. Would that
the word preparedness might
take on a new signiiicanee--that
instead of being the doctrine of
the mailed fist, which has wrought
such havoc 10 civilization, it
might become the ideal Of those
who wish to prepare this nation

zenship to keep bright the torch
