BELL HAD EARLY STRUGGLES
Inventor OF Telephone Experienced
Common Fate of Pioneers in
His Early Manhood.

Next to the reaping machine, which
drove famine from the world, Amer
ica's greatest gift to modern civili-
cation has been the telephone. The
name of its inventor, DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell, will live down the ages
after all but two or three present-day
Americans have been forgotten.
Unlike most famous inventors, Doc
tor'Bell did not spring from obscurity
and poverty. His father was scholar
and scientist ofsnote, and young Bell
received a ripe education. But he did
not escape the common fate of inv6n-
tors and pioneers. His struggles with
poverty came in early manhood in
stead of in boyhood. And they were
struggles as trying and as protracted
as fall to the lot Of few men. At one
time, while .fghtlng to establish his
ridlculed "t0y" as an article of genu-
inc use, he was reduced to the ex-
tremity of borrowing occasional half,
dollars for a meal, sharing this lot
with his dynamic colleague, Theodore
n. Vail.
The world first learned of the tele-
phone at the Centennial exposition at
Philadelphia in 1876. On January 20
of that year 4 young college professor
of Salem, Mass, Alexander Graham
Bell, had executed specifications and
a claim for an invention embodying an
Improvement in telegraphy, which in
reality was a telephone, and on Febru-
airy IA his application for the Amer
lean patent was filed at Washington.
The first telephone message Of
which there is record was this: "Mr.
Watson, come here, want you" 1t
was sent on March 10, 1876, by the in
ventor from the top floor of II Boston
boarding house to colleague, Thomas
A. Watson, in below. Watson
heard every word and rushed to apS
prise, Boil of the fact. Almost 40 years
later, on January IS, 1915, Doctor Bell
sent this same message to Mr.. Wat
son, only this time Bell was In New
York and Watson in San Francisco.

Insure Future in Youth.

In youth is the time TO insure the
future. This is true Of every kind
OF insurance. And success follows the
same law. TITS true that in youth you
have less to go on, but If you don't
make the start now you will never be
more than q "hand-to-mouth" per-
former. You must be convinced Of the
worth of your ideal and then stake all
on making 1t Indispensable to the
world. You will have to show tho
world you believe in 1t. The world
may even demand proof in sacrifice.
Hesitate and you are lost. Pay the
price Of your belief promptly and con-
stantly and the. future will be more
welcome In consequence. 1t isn't the
noise you make that counts-it's the
good you do. tEven that may be ques-
toned by some folks, but you >know
when It's genuine. So begin, now.
Keep.your ideals high and back. them
up with the service that commands
respect and the world win return the
purchase price Of your ideal with In
terest.--Grit.

This world is full of beauty. We
alone, with the enginery Of our greed,
make it ugly. But we cannot altogether
succeed in hiding all its beauty, and
the open eye and appreciative heart
still, without going far adeld, may
catch glimpse and often behold the
full glory Of field and flower and star
ry heaven. How deeply must we pity
the life TO which the beauty OF the
world brings no enrichinR, he who
does not take a deep breath and feel
a thrill OF pleasure at sight of noun
tain, prairie or sea And all the prod
igai beauty of this world is but a mes
sage to us Of the greater love OF the
life that upholds it all, of the riches
of him that inhabiteth eternity. And
fairier yet than field or Hover, treas
ures greater and more enduring than
ours for the taking, the appreciating,
in friendships, human love, and com
partnerships. The peace that broods
rom a mothers face, the strength OF
fathers life, the light in our chill
Jren's eyes, the joys of home and
hearthside-are not these the best
riches of life?

IL is one of the ironies Of fate that
the poet from whose pen has come
the immortal lyric of the hearthstone
was himself a rowing outcast--a
homeless wanderer. The world re.
members the pathetic story of John
Howard Payne. Broken 10 health and
reduced in fortune, the poor American
exile found himself in the throbbing
heart of the great city of London. Be-
tween his publishers-who allowed
him little-and his creditors-who
came to see him often-the penalties

ocean separated him from kith and
kin. lie felt the acutest sense of iso-
,ation-the bitterest pangs of lonell-
ness. Perhaps no solitude is more
oppressive than the solitude of great
cities-the solitude which hroods in
the repellant looks of the uusympa-
thetic lnultitudes. IL is, as Luclan
Knight has SAID, the hearts Sahara.
Bereft of all other consolation, Payne
seized the harp; and lightly he touch
ed the strings. But not in vain. For
the fire of inspiration was in the
poets SOUL and ON the banks of the
River Thames, from the aching heart
of a humble exile leaped tho hearth

We are glad to see and know OF
young men, either as individuals or in
organizations, who are using the
golden hours of youth in suitable en-
deavor TO fit themselves for useful
honorable and Christian manhood:
and for young men who spend their
leisure and their evenings in profit
able empIoyments, study or company.
We are sorry for any young man
who adopts the opposite course, be-
cause we knows his future will be
made less useful and happy 10y it.,
popular though it may be, and, alas,
is, to q deplorable extent. We would
not 10y any means abridge any lawful
enioyments or recreations, we are not
advocating a hermit life, or low and
selfish eXcl1siveness-not at all. Let
our young men be buoyant of spirit,
active, Joyous and sociable, but al
ways under the wholesome restraints
that high aims, noble purposes, and
moral and religious motives impose
without depressing; and that are in
diligently recognized and cheerfully
accepted by them.
