Power Of IdeaIs.

1t Is hardly possible to estimate the
power of ideals In human life. am
disposed to think there Is no one who
does not have his ideals, conscious or
unconscious. Some there may be who
are not clearly aware that they possess
them, Just rs we all breathe and do
many other things which we are not
conscious or. But | am disposed to
think that absolutely every human
being really does have, hung on the
walls Of that room OF his mind where
dwells the wonderful faculty which we
call the Imagination, pictures, dim or
clear, Of what seems to him the most
desirable kind OF life-pictures of per-
sons, whom perhaps he knows, or may
be has known In some past time, or if
not that, then persons dreamed Of who
represent to his thought the kind Of
life he would be able to live.

INSPIRED AT ODD MOMENTS
Brilliant Thoughts That Have Como
to Men of Genius In Their
Hours of Repose

There is a photograph, with which
most of us are no doubt familiar, Of
Mark Twain at work in bed-holding
his writing pad on his knees, and
having the things he needed for his
labor disposed about on tables on
either side. But the idea of working
In bed was not original with Mark
Many eminent men before him did
the same thing, writer in the Phila-
delphia Ledger says, Indeed, no, small
part OF the worlds literary treasure
has been produced between the sheets
by physical indolent although men,
tally active men Of genius.
One Of the best known lines in Eng
lish poetry came into It's authors head
when he was actually asleep. While
visiting at Mimic, Thomas Campbell
one evening went to bed early, with
his mind full Of a new poem About
o'clock in the morning he suddenly
awakened repeating, Events to come
cast their shadows before" Ringing
the bell sharply, he summoned SER
want. The man found Campbell with
one foot in bed and one on the floor.
"Are you III, sir?" he asked
Il was never better in my lifc," said
the poet. 'Lcavc the candle and bring
me cup OF tea"
Selling his pen he put down the
happy thought, changing "events to
come into coming events" and over
the noninebriating cup. he finished the
first draft Of "Lochiel's Warning"

TWenty-Year-Old Trout.

The death has occurred in the south
OF Scotland Of a trout which for TWEEN
ty years had survived in well. The
fish was caught In an adjoining stream
= the river Evan, tributary of the
Amman, near Moffat. and was placed in
well formed i'm burn adjacent to
remote railway signal.bOx, q few
miles north OF BcattOck, on the CaledO-
nian main line. The Signalman who
at the time was In charge OF the cabin
took a lively interest in the fish as
also did various engine drivers and
other workers on that section OF the
line, when intervals permitted OF their
visiting the "aIuariMm," with its soli-
tary occuDaat. The trout gradually be-
came quite tame and docilc, and was
accustomed to swim boldly to the edge
of the well to receive tit-bits from vis-
itOrs, in the form OF worms or in
sects suitable to It's appetite.

ABOUT LOVE AND MARRIAGE

mains That We All Have to
Take a Chance.

No man is ever really in love who
can say so with all the ease, ardor and

to his wife all the time may have had
lots Of practice either before or since
his marriage.
The husband who never gives his
wife decent word or compliment
would knock down any other man who
would treat her in the same way.
The sinccrcst lovers are those who
are tongue-ticd, and don't know where
to put their feet

GOLDEN HOURS NEVER FOUND
Stories Of Vast Wealth Hidden in
West Indies May Be Merely
Romantic Tales.

The British West Indies may not
be worth much in money, but they are
rich In money tradition. It was the
lure OF these islands that brought
the avaricious gold hunters Of Colum-
bus, way across the seas in search of
the tabled wealth of the western isles.
1t was here that the brave British
admirals went to "snge the king of
Spain's beard"
Stories of sunken moncy-ships and
buried treasures In and around the
islands are numerous. Capt. Kidd,
Morgan and many other famous buc-
cancers made the islands their rendez-
vous. Sir Walter Raleigh went there
and so did the Ill fated Darien.
In later years the Islands were
Fought over by the Spanish, British,
Dutch and French. The latter were
supposed to be very rich, but when
the British drove them from the is
land they were unable to find the
hidden gold
An old negress once told a story
that renewed interest In this tabled
French wealth. An old man an
preached her. she said, and asked di-
rcctions to the grave Of her mistress
youngest child. She told him and the
man dug up the coffin. He opened
1t and took out three df four hand
fuls OF jewels. He disappeared, after
saying that he was n grandson Of one
of the old French pirates, who had
concealed the jewels.
