THE MEASURE OF A MAN.

A man canot be measured with
a yard stick. A very large man
may be put up in a very small
package and the converse is also
true
Equally useless is u pair OF
scales as a means of measuring
men. A man Of diminutiye pro
portions may tip the beam which
measures human worth lgher
than the monstrosity who makes
his living by exhibiting himself
in a side-shoW or museum.
Despite popular notions to the
contrary, money is not q measure
OF man. The man who posses
ses much wealth may or may not
be a large man. In the genuine
miser the most powerful micro
scope fails to reveal any Of the
essential elements OF real man.
The ability to make money is a
great and useful gift, to be held
in disdain by nobody, but it is
incidental, rather than funda-
mental, when it comes to max
ing true estimate of a nan s
worth. The small man who sud
denly acquires wealth remains
small and the big man, possessed
OF wealth, becomes no smaller
when his fortune is swept away
For example Mark Twain" was
once a great and rich man but
suddenly found himself impov-
erished by business disaster; in
his misfortune he proved himself
to be a greater man ihan the
world had ever known him to be,
setting to work with prodigious
energy, paying his debts dollar
for dollar and again amassing
wealth.
In the final analysis, the only
measure of man in his charac-
ter and a number of elements en-
ter into the makeup Of what is
called character
Character is in the mind and
heart. If we would know wheth-
er the man of powerful physical
proportions is really a big man,
1T is necessary to ascertain how
he uses his powers. Similarly,
to determine whether the man Of
wealth is large or small, we must
know how he uses his money.
Does he make a god of Mammon,
bestoWing his worship upon it?
Does he use it solely for selfish
or does he find satisfac-
tion and pleasure in using it as |
means OF making the world bet
Ter and bringing blessings to his |
fellow menY The selfish man is
necessarily small man; his I
is confined to the mar
row circle of his personal inter
as's and pleasures. No man is
really great unless his heart
.hrobs in sympathy with all hui
And that brings us to the prac-
ical part fo this little talk. The

II is probable that Judge lands Will

eral good of the sport, as we'll as his own
