First British MARTYR.

st. Alban has the honor Of being re-
garded as the first British martyr. The
bloody persecution of Dioclesian,
which ragged In other parts Of the Ro-
man empire with such terrible fury
that Dioclesian declared the Christians
exterminated, was kept in check in
Gaul and Britain by Constantine, who
governed those provinces with almost
regal authority. But some few are al
legged to have suffered, and among
them st. Alban was first. he shell
tered priest, whose name was Am
phibalus, who is said to have convert
ed him, and when he could conceal the
priest no longer, he assisted his escape
by changing clothes with him. For this
act Alban was brought before the Ro-
man governor, condemned and be.
headed.

Aptitude.


My observation in life leads me to
believe that nearly every human be.
ing has an aptitude; that is, there is
something that he or she can do bet
ter than all other things. One in q
hundred. again, has a remarkable apti-
tude, and In one in a thousand this ap-
titude is developed into something ex-
traordinary. 1t then amounts to natur.
al insight and constitutes genius. Now,
a perfect system of education, If it
could be devised, would be one which,
while developing to the fullest extent
all the faculties, would allow free play
to the special aptitude. But this Is
just what our American school system
fails to do, and does not aim at.-Auto-
biography Of Charles Francis Adams.

OCEAN FACILITIES
FOR NORTHWEST n
Movement to Bring Ocean Steam
ers to Lake Docks Thru -Op-
GRAFTON Of y. s. and Canada.

~~o~~~O
Wide interest IL being shown in the
project Of bringing the ocean to the
heart Of the continent by developing
an ocean highway from ,tidewater to
the head Of Lake Superior through en-.
largement of the Welland Canal and
the canalization of the st. Lawrence,
by the joint efforts Of Canada and the
United States. One Of the results
would be the saving Of millions annu-
ally to the wheat-growers of the North
west by cutting in half the freight
rate on wheat from the Head of the
Lakes to Liverpool.
The project, which il second only
to that Of the Panama Canal in i'm
portance and will give to this section
the full economic advantage of the
inland seas, needs little enlargement
to tho broad-minded and 'far-seeing
business men of the Northwest.
The vision of q natural waterway
from the Atlantic ocean passing in its
course the greatest manufac turing dis
trtcts and coal fields in the United
States and ending In the heart Of the
richest country in the world in the
production Of cereals, livestock, dairy
products and iron ore is not new, but
never before in the one hundred years
OF peace have the governments OF Can
ada and the United States acquired
that spirit Of unity, which now exists
as a result Of the war just over, and
which now reaches the time for COOP
erative effort in this project.
The engineering problems to let
ocean traficinto the Great Lakes are
not serious. In fact It is stated that
the water power developed would pay
the interest on the investment.
It is evident, however, that to in
ject such revolutionizing measure
in the business of the Nation, will
require the cooperation of all.
It would mean a Encouragement of
railroad rates in favor of the people
of the Northwest. It would mean
unlimited possibilities to the wheat
growers of Minnesota and the North
west. It would mean the develop
ment of manufacturing In all lines Of
industry but particularly those of iron
and steel, their products reaching the
worlds markets without the present
competition of eastern cities. with their
four hundred mile rail haul, trans
shipment and terminal charges.
It would mean unlimited possibili-
ties to the wheat grower Of Mime
sofa and the Northwest. An average
pre-war rate on wheat from Duluth
to Liverpool was fourteen cents a
bushel. An average pre-war rate from
Duluth to Buffalo was two and one
half cents bushel. With the elimin-
at1ng of the necessity of breaking
bulk at Buffalo and the reloading at
New York, saving of at least six
cents bushel could be made by ship
ping the wheat directly from Duluth
to Liverpool. What this would mena
to Minnesota and the Northwest
would be figured in millions annually.

How tho Tornado "Works.~

in a single short paragraph, in a per-

when he was asked by a reporter about

while she worked she worked like

e calses the production or permanent
goods rather than the mere satisfaction
Of transient and temporary pleasures.
The trouble is that people confuse
money with what is back of it. They
see that spending increases trade, but
fail to see that investing money in
creases trade just as much. Perhaps
you never stopped to realize that every
time you deposit dollar in bank or
invest 1t in some legitimate enterprise
you not only help some TO get and keep
a job, bat useful job. Every dollar
you bank or invest provides work for
somebody.
1t Is sometimes said in favor of one
of the larger excesses--i ewelry-
diamonds are,a good Investment. That
Is, people think that they will be able
to sell their Jewels If they cannot af-
ford to keep them. But aside from the
fact that don't believe that anyone
ever sold ring, or pin. or expensive
watch for as much as he or she paid
for it, there is the further fact that
money invested In jewelry earns no in.

TURN RIGHT

The road to success is no rougher,
or harder, or more painful than the
road to failure, but there is a differ
ence; we voluntarily choose to bear the
pains of success, while the pains of
failure are thrust upon us. The pains
OF success are mental and physical as
are those of failure.
The boy or girl who aspires to sue.
coed in school pays daily penalty in
the act of resisting the impulses to en-.
JOY pleasures of the moment; In fore.
ing the brain to exercise when 1t is
crying to quit; in doing daily mental
tasks which are just as firing as any
physical labor. The man who succeeds
pays his penalty, too. He must save
when he would like to spend. He must
work when he would like to loaf. He
must be up and doing when he would
like to sleep. He must take kicks and
not kick back. He must assume respon-
sibilities when he dislikes to add to his
burdens. He must be patient when his
nature is to be impatient. He must
bring his appetite to reason when 1t
calls to be unreasonable. All of us know
men who want to succeed, but we know
that they cannot because they will nay
the penalties of failure; they cannot
avoid them although they think they
can. They will pay and pay hard, The
penalties OF success are suffered for the
most part in early years. The penal.
ties of failure ara reaped in later years
when the rewards OF success are being
plucked.-The Fortuna Magazine.

ENGLISH is COMMON TONGUE.
Chinese Girls Learn It to Talk to One
Another

Chinese women students in the Tung
Flu College, Picking China, are obliged
to learn English in order to talk with
one another because of the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Picking during
all Of the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because to return each summer
would require six weeks for the trip
one way and would cos more than a
trip to America and return.
Girls from each of the western
provinces speak Il different lapg1age
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as a common tongue.
