Continue what you are and where you are and you are what and where yoa will always be. If you are satisfied don't read further. The world of wage earners is a world of hopers. wishers, and hesitators held down by foolish doubts and emp ty fears. Endless thousands of bright, fine fellows whose wish bone is where their back bone ought to be, are eXcusably a. fraid, halting, timid, clinging with the drowning man. grasp to their slender teaching salaries, because thcr think business is a mystery and they can never learn to succeed in 1t.
 You must be more. have more and do more in this life CT you will always be seeing other men that are getting more out of life. more of this worlds enjoyment5 and comforts than you. We can point you to hundreds of young men and women no smarter than you that are successfully and happily engaged in a business of their own, because they attended our institution and secured a business training and prepared themselves to go into the business office and work d. long with trained men and be come masters of the art of doing business.
 Business is not a happy-go. lucky, hapha1ard sort of a thing. If yoa understand 1t thoroughly, you are sure to succeed. If you have never been trained for it. it is all left to luck and guess work,

RELICS OF FIRST CENTURY
Portraits Of Christ and the Apostles
Dug Up From the Ruins
Of Antioch.

Portraits of Christ and the apostles
which. it is believed, may be authentic,
are on an old chalice dug up from the
ruins Of Antioch and now in the pos
session of q firm Of art dealers In this
city, it became known last night.
The chalice, according to the deal
ers, came directly to them from the
hands Of the excavators in 1910. IL
can be dated with certainty to the Sec
ond half Of the first century A. d..
says DR.. Gustavus A. Eisen, the ar
cheologist, who is now in this country
and WI has made preliminary re-
mort upon it in the American Journal
Of Archaeology.
1t was found by Arabs digging
we'll in Antioch, Syria. At the depth
of many meters they cape upon I'M
derground chambers, one Of which con-
tanned the treasure.
It is probable, say experts, that the
chalice is a replica Of the cathedral
erected in Antioch by Constantine the
Great after his removal of the capital
of his empire to Constantinople.
This Antioch church was intended
to be the center Of Christian worship
in the East, and remained standing
until the year 526, when, during an
assemblage of 100000 Christians, the
city was leveled by an earthquake SO
disastrous that one building could not
be distinguished from another among
| the ruins.-New York Times.

WHAT THE CITY GIVES BACK
Those Who Return Home to Stay Are
Often Nothing but Empty
Shells.

We who knew him in the days be-
fore the city swallowed him up Chat
was 40 years ago) had forgotten all
about him until the other day, when
the morning train rolled in and we
stood ready to help unload the coffin
and then to follow it to the place on
the hill prepared for him, Tom Bodine
writes in the Paris (Mo.) Mercury. Ev-
cry now and then someone like him
comes home to stay, and it Is the same
story so far as we who remain are con-
cerned. Not until the train comes to
q standstill and the baggage car door
thrown open do we remember-and
sometimes it is poignant. When the
city took him he was young, and,
though bearing a grievous burden, he
went hopefully. When the city gave
him back to US jhe was an old man
broken by many griefs, and desolation
looked up from the dead face, wherein
the majesty of the final peace more
often sits enthroned.
What the city takes and what 1t
gives back are always different. Some
times it sleeps them in folly and re-
turns dead wrecks, whereon we look
and read an ancient regret for things
that might have been better-and per-
haps in the end, happier. Again it
swallows them up in the vortex Of the
great unceasing, pitiless economic
struggle, and, having Slapped brain,
body and soul, returns to us the! empty
shell that once housed our friend.
That is what it did to him.
Are not some fated to be bound to
the wheel and others to walk in the
glad places, and at the end Of the
dolorosa way is not there heavenly
compensation? Perhaps, but somehow
down deep in our hearts will continue
the bitterness Of an ancient revolt be-
cause of empty and joyless lives, the
deep resentment because of that blind
| fatality, which even through love
wrecks human aspirations and makes
Of life an unending tragedy.

Saved by Bullet,

It is better to be born lucky than
rich, they say, and no doubt certain
policeman Of Acton, ILL.,, will sanction
the sentiment. He was one of squad
sent recently to arrest two desperate
criminals who had been located hiding
in a boarding house.
When cornered, one Of the men at
bay pressed the muzzle of his revolver
against the policeman's abdomen and
pulled the trigger twice.
The first bullet rammed in the bar
rel about an inch from the cylinder.
This effectually barred the pathway OF
the second shot, the force of which
tore a strip from the barrel an lnch
long through which the bullet escaped,
thus destroying the usefulness of the
weapon.-Popular Science Monthly.
