IN YOUR HOUSE.

f YOU are not a careful reader OF
the Bible you may have the idea
that all the miracles which 1t details
are in the New Testament, but If you
Will turn to the fourth chapter OF
II Kings you may read an enter
tanning story Of one Of the remarkable
things performed by Elisha in the
multiplication of the pot of oil.
Elisha performed many miracles,
but of them all this one is perhaps
the most interesting.
A widow, one of the wives Of the
sons of the prophets, tells Elisha that
her creditors have come to take her
two sons as bOndmen in settlement OF
what she owes.
Elisha asks her what she has In
the house which might be available
to settle the debt. Her reply is that
her only possession is pot OF oil.
At his direction the woman sends
her sons to gather all the empty re-
ceptacles in the neighborhood and
when they have been brought she
obeys the command Of Elisha that
abe shall pour from the pot OF oil into
the empty vessels and this she con-
tinues to do until all are filled and
then she sells enough Of the store Of
oil to pay her debts and there Is SUM-
Client left to supply her and her sons
What have YOU in YOUR hOusef
The trouble with most Of us Is that
we never value very highly the posi-
bilities Of what we have.
The apple on the high branch al
WAYS looks bigger and fairer to us
than the one in our hand.
The Job that the other fellow has
always seems easier and more salts
factory than our employment.
The other mans lot always seems
pleasanter than ours and his pros
poets and chances brighter and more
attractive.
The trouble is we do not properly
examine and truly estimate and wise
ly use what we have "in OUR house. "
Success is made up entirely Of what
we have and how we use it.
No man was ever born who did not
have the possibility of success.
No man ever lived who did moi
have plenty Of opportunity to sue
coed.
The man who says IT never had Q
chance" Is just lying to himself al
an excuse for his failure.
Lord Bacon said, "a wise man vii
make more opportunities than HI
hnds," and that is much truer thar
the famous poem Senator ingalls,
wrote that pictured opportunity al
knocking only once at a mans dOOl
or the picture which Rabelais drew

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
YANKEE."

VKT HILE the genesis Of the
w term yankee" as applied
by the English to Americans in
general, by Southerners to those
residing In the North and by
Northerners to New Englanders,
is shrouded in the mists Of
colonial antiquity, there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks Of truth and
logic.
The first, and most generally
accepted Of these, is that the
word Is a corruption Of the
French Anglais or English"
used by the northern Indian
tribes during the early days Of
the colonies. History states that
aYengeese" was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro-
nunciation either Of the word
sAngIais' or English" and It
Is easy to see how this In turn,
could have become transmitted
into yankee"
Another explanation, a tribe
more scholarly, Is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
4.yankie' meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
aJankin," which was the dimlnu-
tive Of Jan or John. One au-
thority goes so far as to declare
that aJankIn" was the generic
name applied to the English set
tiers OF Connecticut By the
Dutch settlers Of New York.
The first known use Of the
term in print occurred 10 .
noem entitled AOppresSlon, :
published ID 1895. IN which APP
reared the line sFrOm meanness
frst the Portsmouth Yankee
rorey me coupling Of the
cords Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear 70 bear out The
contention thar the term was
one applied principally 70 New.
Enelandera and therefore oris-
lnaIly Of Dutch origin.
