Wanted Her for Himself.

There are some good stories of An
glo-Indian life in Lady Login's newly
published volume Of Recollections.
One particularly amusing one hinges
upon the marriage Of her brother, Gen.
Charles Campbell, to a Miss Wemyss
at Cawnpore.
The bridegroom (writes Lady Login)
appeared to take a very languid inter-
est in the ceremony, being very slack
in answering the responses.
The Eurasian clerk thereupon took
upon himself to prompt him in his
part; but when 1t came to the ques-
ton "Wilt thou take this woman to
be thy welded wife?" and the jealous
official replied for him in loud nasal
chant, CT WILL" General Campbell
electrified the congregation by turning
round in a towering passion, and
shouting at him:
'I'll be hanged If you do, STRIP
The effect, to put 1t mildly, was de-
cidedly disconcerting to everybody;
but, anyway, it put more life into
Campbell's participation in the rest Of
the service.

WILL POWER ALWAYS COUNTS
Well to Realize One Has Got to Want
Things Hard in Order to
Get Them.

Just wanting something will rarely
obtain it for you. You've got to go out
and get it for yourself. In an article
called increase Your Driving Power"
in the American Magazine, writer
quotes an authority as saying:
"After all, man does what he
wants to do. Therefore, he must be
taught as child and he must learn in
adult years to teach himself, to want
to do the right thing and the big thing
and to want it so hard that he is
bound to arrive at the wished-for goal.
Anybody can sit down and say, I'D like
to be the head OF my company, or the
president Of the United States, or the
best salesman in the world That much
is easy. 1t is exactly what the baby
does when it sits on the floor and
squalls for piece of candy. But it is
a very different thing from wanting
something so much that one is willing
to set about it and undertake at once
the doing of the impossible.
"The trouble with the average man
is that he does not want things hard
enough. And one reason for this Is
that he has not been taught the value
of this wanting He has not been
shown in his schools and in his life
that man has tremendous resources for
wanting and for willing, and that, as
he continues to will and will, he will
find himself unknown and unsupported
layers of energy. There is always
enough energy to supply mans de-
sires for success if he will tap the
source of it,

SO precise, prompt and reliable in all
his dealings that he had won consi1-
cradle notice as a coming scalper on
the outside of the legitimate banks.
Some OF his dealings had been large.
His balances were not bad, he collat-
eraled everything securely and
seemed to have ample capital. So
far as / could surmise he was too
shrewd and going man to commit
the folly of even knowing a Tod Fer
ret, or seeking as an intermediary a
female bank looter, or having any use
for bank disappointment like Alison
Ransome.
But Marvel knew-he always knew.
There was zest in collaborating with
that great man, for in the end there
was gratifying blaze of discovery
and fruition so far out of the ordinary
that it was worth effort and was an
enjoyable event to participate in.
It was not difficult to follow out my
vols. He had an eye to business, and
a specious professional call from my
self, the secretary of his clearing
bank, led to cigar, then to lunch. !
made pretepse of wanting his opin-
ion as to some Russo-Siberian bonds.
1t was natural that Purvois should be
familiar with these, for he had orig
inally come, understood, from part
of the cars dominions where such as
he had been baited and driven from
pillar to post for generations. At the
end of week, in cordial way, he in
