Nothing SO completely fills my soul
with gloom as all this talk about peace
and the peace party. 1t seems to fall
so far short OF the mark, To protest
against preparedness and to denounce
those who advocate it--these acts do
not mark an advance on the road 10
anywhere.
Education is not to be had by talk

Different STRAIN OF BOYS
Little Story Shows Why II ls That
Some Succeed In Life While 9th
ers Don't "Make Good"

Two boys left home with just money
enough to take them through college.
They both did well at college, took
their diplomas in due time, and got
from members of the faculty letters
to large shipbuilding firm with which
they desired employment. When the
first boy was given an audience with
the head of the firm, he presented his
letters.
"what can you do?" asked the presi-
dent.
II should like some sort of clerk
ship"
"Well, sir, will take your name and
address, and If we have anything OF
the kind I will write to you"
The other boy then presented HIM
self and his papers.
"What can you do?' the president
asked him.
Anything that a green hand can do.
SIR was the reply.
The president touched bell that
called foreman, and the college grad
uate went to sorting scrap iron. A
week passed, and the president, meet
ing the superintendent, asked, How
is the new man getting on?"
"Oh," said the superintendent, "he
did his work so well that put him
over the gang"
In two years that young man was
the head of department and on the
way to a salary larger probably than
his friend will ever earn.--Youth's
companion.

Russia awaits the future with con-
f1dence. Some monetary disturbance
may happen In our financial system,
but Russia Is rich In latent wealth.
During the whole war the deposits in
our savings banks have been constant
ly growing in an extraordinary fash
Ion. The prohibition of alcoholic bev-
erages has produced marvellous re-
suits. Alcohol was indeed the scourge
that gnawed, decimated and impOv-
erished our people. We destroyed this
enemy at the beginning Of the war"
The Russian minister of finance,
when presenting his budget to the
council Of the empire, reported:
"Despite war expenses amounting to
12,000000,000 roubles, and thanks to
the abolition of the alcohol monopoly,
the financial strength of the country
is growing. The savings Of the ma
ton since the beginning of the war
have increased by 2,00000O,0OO rou-
bles."
