Your competitor is watching you,
He may try TO dim your stars, but
struggle on and you will find the
mist of studied obscurity he has tried
to raise will soon pass by and your
stars will be more brightly Singing
than ever.
The Mississippi is some river in
the worlds catalogue of streams,
but you must remember it got its
start in the blunt rugged mountains
of North America.

1t is to be hoped that you have
passed from the class of rabbit foot
carrying, salt dropping, black cat
soaring to the class of reasoners.
No person can intellectually and spir-
ituaIIy grow who is governed by su-
perstitious fears.
Do not measure your neighbor by
the coat he wears. 1t is so easy to
make. a mistake when you use the
clothes rule. 1 saw a man dressed
in the best clothes money could buy,
made by the best tailor IN Kansas
City, and worn by a fine human ami
NAL, but after 1 heard that animal
talk, learned some of his actions, and
saw some of his social deeds, con-
Guided that it is best to be careful
when estimating human values by
the clothes folks wear.
1 am learning that what's back of
man gives him value. The grade
of brain, and not the price of the CT
gar he smokes. the quality of bone,
and not his boosted recommendations
determine his worth to society.
The destiny that is before you, that
you honestly use, can do vast deal
more for you, my friend, than that
ancestry that you had no hand in
choosing can do for you.

person few days ago. There is not
a gill of imperial blood in America.
And if you want to get Disguised
with royal blood business read the
most kindly generous history ever
written of the royal families of Eng
land, Russia, France and Germany,
and you will thank God you are
not of this blood strain.
The paths of civilization were
never made and blocked out by chas-
ing royal thoroughbreds, but they
were hewn out by the mountain
clans led by freless captains of var
ious crusades. 1t takes brain, Drawn
and gristle to clean the over-heated
highways of effete civilization. Now
this is one of the reasons that Europe
with her jungles of bigotry, tangled
with her ancient superstions, is burn
ing up. 1t is awful for the present
but perhaps it is the only way to pre-
serve the future. Pagan Rome with
all her ancient glory had to die by
the fires of conquest and it is more
than likely that some of the European
arrogance will have to go the same
way, so the new future greatness may
have a place.
