INITIATIVE IS WHAT COUNTS
Without It, Any Man Will Accomplish Little, Says Former Newsboy,
 Now RalI Head.

Matthew c. Brush was once Chi cago newsboy. Today he is the presi- dent of the Boston Elevated railroad. Alfred Grunberk in American Maga- zine writes:
 "The qualities that stand out the strongest in his own amazing career are the qualities which Matt Brush demands emphatically in his men.
 "'What can an employee do to at- tract your attention the most quickly and surelyY asked him.
 Show initiative he replied in stantly. Without initiative any man will have rocky, uphill road, with poor pickings all along. One of the great est of all handicaps is the fac. that 1t is easier to let other men think for you than to think for yourself.

 Low Living in india.

Christianity has eXtraordinary pow CT to unite, uplift, relieve India 1; preaching is necessary, but rapid growth depends on it's passing frori neighbor to neighbor in community. Our Bible school men live on rice at 5 cents day; speak out with elo. uuence and force, stimulate each other in the work and soon graduate and are out as preachers. The mission unites them for a new life, rouses them to higher thought, fills them with gray CT purpose The spirit which has fallen upon them divides to every man as he wills, and nation seems indeed to be born in q day, nor is anything impossi- ble to them that believe.

True in Some Cases.

A book reviewer in the London Times makes the rather remarkable assertion that the word "interesting" is not one that should ordinarily be applied to a work of fiction. It is re- markable because. for some occult req son, he considers the word unsuitable in its application to any fiction of whatever character. If he had said that it has no fitness when applied to much current fiction he would have aroused no surprise.-EXchange.

 The sound of voices-excited voices! Then heavy, rushing feet through the hall, past the bedroom, and into the library. It was not telegram. What did it mean? What had happened?
 Snatching her dressing gown, she sprang to the door, but Warren, en- tering. pushed her back with brusque:

 But Helen, gathering closer her robe, flew after him. It was terrify- ing scene. The flaming bay window awning lit the room. Burning frag- ments fell cracking against the glass.
 "Oh, if the glass breaks!" screamed Helen. 'Take down the curtains !"
 Apparently neither Warren nor the night watchman had thought of the curtains. for instantly they wae up on the window sill, snatching down the thin null hangings.

 'Get me something-quick! A heavy towel-anythingl do.''
 She flew out and was back with bath mat. Terrified, she lowered near as he smothered the blazing rope, while the watchman stamped out the .menacing sparks that blew into the room.
 "Oh, your hands-your hands!" she was tugging at Warren's arm,
 You keep out of this!" wrenching off the mass of charred rope and slamming down the window.
 The place was filled with smoke, but outside the flames were dying down. The awning was almost burned out. Only few shreds of smoldering canvas still clung to the iron frame The fierce heat had cracked but not broken the glass.
 The watchman rushed to answer another clamor of the bell. It was

 But the walls and ceilingl They didn't have to wreck the whole place. And oh, look--look at this," she start ed up to examine the scared back of chair, against which strip of mold ing had fallen.

 It was after two before they were finally in bed, and even then, too ex- cited to sleep, Helen insisted on talk ing it over.

 Well, 1t can't be helped! You can insure against loss-but not against discomfort. Guess everything's all right out there.''
 Leaning out of bed, Warren opened the library door for a final assurance that no smoldering sparks had blaZed forth.
 Then with vigorous force he swung and shut the door, the full rebound of his elbow hitting Helen in the eye, as she peered over his shoulder for q view of the wreckage

 Another half-hour of anxious appli- cations of witch hazel and cold cloths relieved the intense pain. Once more they settled down for the few hours that remained of the night.
 All right now, Kitten? How does it feel?" drawing her to him. "Still hurt?"
 Not so much.' Then despairingly, "Oh, it won't be swollen or discol- ored?"
