THE MAN WHO TALKS

out the length and breadth of the Brft- lsh Isles not of very savory rep5,ta- | 1on. who is quite unknown to the boys l. and girls of America The gentleman,s l; name Is Mr. Guy Fawkes. At an early | age ne broke away from the ancestral reilglon and embraced something he thought was better. He left England and served with the Spaniards in the Meth erlands He became very fanaticaI fin his newly-found faith, and when he re- turned to England he formed a cons,ira- 1 cy With some others of his ilk. to bloE | up the king. If the conspiracy had gone | no farther nobody would have object | eo' worse things are done every day l than blowing up kings. But these fana- | tlcs proposed to blow up the members of l permanent on the opening day, Novern- | per D, l6o5.

This affair is known l as the gunpowder plot, and on the an- | nlversary (Nov. 5 Fawkes, as stuffed | eH1gy. is toted about London and then | burned Moral: Don't try to blow up | more than one person at a time with | gunpowder.
 Last week your attention was called i to the profound subject of rubbish, and the duty of cleaning it up, having par ~ASeA-e"A AClcA CAlcc EO Llit UuE51OG NOW you can take it from me that all the rubbish that accunulates on mans property is not all on the outside Some of it clutters up his mind and some of 1t gets into his heart and gives him bad heart action. Look at your library col lection twenty-five, or, possibly, fifty years ago, and what is it worth today taken as whole? Of course you have some Of the immortal books, but most of 1t belongs to the grasses of the meadow, that blossom but to die" In other 1i- | rections, don't We fill up with rubbish that necessitates a genuine house clean- ing. at least, once a year? Are things creeping into the lives Of our young peo- pie that tend to debauch the emotions They are up against some things that | demand the liberal use of the scrubbing ! brush.
 | One of the most persistent topics of 1 conversation just at present is, what 1 does, or what ought to constitute per-
 manent disability from operating a mo | tor car? This question will keep in the 1 front rank as long as the automobile l continues to be the chief assassin of man Of course, great severity must be 1 used in dealing with the careless driv-- | CT, because he is wholly inexcusable 1 equally drastic measures must prevent tilG lulUAlCdAGu I1letIl kpT WOHl9nj ITOil ever holding a license again. But is enough said and done to keep the man from holding drivers license who holds | a criminals record? The science of penology has discovered that a criminal
 not only has bad heart, but a pervert-
 ed mind He is sub-nornal without being IactuaIly insane. Ought a drivers license
 be given to such a man? Law in New | York says decidedly no; but New York
 custom breaks the law constantly.
 Did you ever realize that the different
 states of mind have commercial
 value? Suppose the men who stand at
 the head of the greatest corporations
 should express themselves in a sort of
 symposium as believing in the early re-
 turn to a normalcy in business, would it 1 not inspire confidence which is the nerve
 center of business activity? All you have to do is to keep telling John Smith l that ''you never saw him locking better
 in his life,' and he at once will begin to put on fesh you have made him more
 efficient as a workman. On theR other
 hand, pessimism works in the opposite
 direction, having a commercial value for those who can put it across. Pessimism
 is the trade mark of the unprincipled Q business man. It is sometimes used as 6 an organized propaganda to boost the l price of commodities. Let peach grow. f CTS, peach handlers, and peach sellers , all join in some secret society wall: , ''There'H be no peaches this year because of the frostP In response up goes the . price of peaches. Or if there is a trough in the fall you can substitute potatoe. for peaches.
 Is there not real power in anything | that is excellentiy well done? The req e cause of this emotion may lie in the con s scfousness Of most Of us that we dC . our work so poorly. This thought camt e to me the other evening as I listened tt
 the Marine band. Looking around I say , 1 many people, probably as untrained il z the technique of music as myself, btu I how we enjoyed it! We were under tn, : spell of the perfection of execution F Great music, great painting. great sculp s ture, great poetry great preaching 't great ball playing, create precisely tn t same impression. The reason is ther n is so much slumpy work done along al .- these lines that in the hands of master,
 we are enchanted I was glad to see S many boys present and hope some wer = inspired to take up orchestra work. st Remember that perfection grows out 0 5 persistence. Think of the practice Nil

 From the I7th chapter of the At 4o of the Apostles, which many of you 1,a -. heard of, we learn that the crowds car 'u to Mars Hill expecting to hear sor elI new thing, and they certainly receiv
 what they were after. We sornetira
 hear about the craze for somethi TOT ngw' as though it were an unwort he ambition. Paul did not condemn tf to Athe1lian propensity. Would there be
