Doing Too Much.

TNHE only way to do enough is to do too much.
AS it has been well put: Doing more than cir
cumstances require is the surest way to satisfac-
ton"
You may be able to lay brick to exact measure. And
indeed exactness is necessary in making typewrltng
machine automobile seventy-fve centimeter gum
But man is not machine
Man lives by superfluities.
The only way effectively to be kind is to be kind
The only way to get your little act of love over to
make it register is to perform about two hundred acts
Of love.
This seems to be Natures law
When Nature wants to produce hundred apples on
the she wastes about thousand blossoms When
Nature sets out to water your garden with her rain she
waters all the dusty roads and pors her streams
on the river.
In other words to do thing that is needed Nature
does a hundred things that are not needed
In the miracle, related in the gospels are told that
about five thousand fed upon five loaves and
two fishes 1t is said: "And they did eat and all
MED ana there were taken fragments that remained
to them, twelve baskets"
We often complain of the smallness of our reward
when do good But the beauty of doing good lies in
the very fact that if do good at all must do
much that there remain twelve baskets full
The tides of life and light and power which the
pours down upon the earth but tiny fragment of
the amount that it is pouring out all through empty
space.
So good woman sheds her influence upon many a
heart where there response and apparent result
But she goes on being good
So honest is honest thousand times when he
sees that it gets him nothing.
These are the who go forth to and of their
seed falls by the wayside and some upon stony
ground.
But here and there the seed takes root in good SOIL
springs up, and bears fruit a hundred fold
There is hundred per cent-efciency in love,
There lis only probable fraction of per cent. But
from this the most amazing truth in the world
that in spite of it's apparent waste and usefulness in
many instances love is still the greatest known
and from generation to generation grows apace.
For this reason man has right to judge the effect
of his good will his righteous conduct by results
To live the higher life is not at all matter of mathe
mates or intelligence any kind of knowledge. It is
a matter of faith.
1t is a matter of confidence in those higher cosmic
laws which only great souls

IF YOU wish to exercise your
imagination usefully, spend
Il an hour, or two in the Won
derful halls of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History. One
of the newest things to be seen
there is one of the worlds oldest
curiosities, viz, the eggs of dino
saurs laid in the sands of Mon
golia perhaps millions of years
ago.
Don't be in too much of hurry
when you pay a visit to these
fossil eggs. Let your mind brood
upon them while you regard their
oval outlines, their hard shells
and the tiny skeletons enclosed
in some of them of embryo dino
saurs whose thread of dawning
life Atropos cut off before they
see the sunshine of that ancient
day which was just as bright as
the sunshine of our time.

Long ages before the first

the cries of the victims OF these
terrible carnivorous dinosaurs

f.. DINOSAURS

, The general forms in both classes
were often similar; but the big
heads denoted the flesh-eaters
and the small heads the vege-
tarians. 1t was not that the
former needed more room for
their brains, but that they must
have massive jaws, long rows Of
teeth. and large and firm attach
ments for masticating muscles.
Still, it might be argued that
a need for more capacious BRAIN
cases was imposed by their
superior intelligence, which was
exercised in capturing and over
coming their prey. The her
bivorous found their food all ready
for them, and in great abundance.
in the luxuriant morasses and
river flats. The bigger-headed
carnivores lay in wait, watched
them get fat, and tracked them
down. They were beef cattle for
their masters. And they were
stupid, unsuspicious creatures.
Nature repeats herself-with
ture of highest intelligence on the
earth does what the carnivorous
dinosaurs did in their time, but
with more cunning, having more
brains. He not only let's his beef
cattle make animal protoplasn
for him from the plants, but he
furnishes the plants for the
cattle to chew and digest.
Look into the tranquil eye Of

Does she guess at the thoughts
and intentions of the master who
takes care that she shall have
plenty to eat? All! that old world
which the dinosaurs governed
was only a prototype, and funda-
mental things are slow to change.

Methods Requisite for Success
of Writers.

Success In newspaper correspond

they will be of special interest, Mrs
Sallie V. H. Pickett, society editor OF
The Star. told the evening class In
journalism at George Washington
University yesterday. Discussing
such work at the National Capital,
she said that the cities throughout
the country were prepared. usually. to
print Washington stories about their
own people.
Mrs. Pickett advised the members
of the class as to opportunities in
writing. She said that the person
who was engaged in such work was
usually correct in assuming that what
interested him particularly would also
interest the average reader and would
appeal to the editor, wi ,se duty 1t
was to judge the articles submitted
The speaker emphasized the impor-
tance Of the worfl Of the reporter and
found in that branch of the profess
sion the advantage of being able to
create something and the special op-
portunity to be out in the world
where real stories are to be obtained.
There was great need, she said, Of
remembering the Importance of
names and dates. proper spelling of
names, correct initials and other ele-
mentS of accuracy.
She mentioned. incidentally, the
work of the society editor, and said
that the reports of this class publish
ed in The Washington Star were sent
generally to the foreign offices abroad
as means of accurate inform alton.

The Enduring Fame

The wise men of each passing age
survey the actors on life's stage, and
say of one, "His fame will last till
earthly things are done and past !;
he has the goods, he has the FIRE of
genius when he bats his Tyre, or
with his pencil, brush, or pen en-
chains the gaze of startled men,"
And of another man they say, "His
tinhorn fame will pass away; with
gaudy talents he's endowed, which
talents captivate the crowd; his
tiimsy structure cannot stand, for it
is built on shifting sand" But
Father Time alone can tell who
builded ill, who builded we'll. When
Southey made his frightful din, an
everlasting wreath to win, the Wise.
Men, deafened by the noise, re-
marked, With the immortal boys
this Southey gent will take his
place, or we are badly off our base"
And when poor Keats produced his
song, that lacked the whang of
Southey's gong, the Wise Men said,
His cheap tin Tyre will never set the
world afire. Some cross roads viii
lage he may charm, or please the
hired men on a farm; some local
fame he may achieve with ditties
like st. Agnes Eve,' but he can't
reach the starry heights like South
ey and such gifted wights." Will
Conrad live, or Harold Bell? Old
Father Time alone can tell.
