What Makes a Man Great?
BY BRUCE BARTON

Then he went on to speak
about his own career, which
started with the salary Of an
office boy and has carried him so
far.
~ never asked for an increase
in salary" he said; ~ never
asked for promotion or even
thought about it. had only
one single thoueht-how to
make that company as great and
as influential as it possibly could
be. ! believed that by extending
it's influence we were extending
human happiness; more than
anything else, ! wanted to see it
reach people in every corner Of
the world.
I'VE made that vision come
true; and those Of US who
achieved it discovered that the
company to which we had given
our lives, had given them back
to US q hundred times richer
than our own selfish thought
and planning could possibly
have made them"
II is Emerson who somewhere
says that the average run Of
men fret and worry themselves
into nameiess graves, while here
and there a great unselfish soul
forsets itself into immortality.
Many hundred years before. a
much wiser Man had said: "For
whosoever will save his life shall
lose it; and whosoever will lose
his life for Ny sake shall find
it,"
A rather cryptic utterance; SO
contradictory in sound that the
majority Of men pass it by un.
needing.
But now and then there comes
a man who, sensing it's truth,
harnesses his life to it, forget
ting every selfish thought and
purpose.
Often he knows himself to be
little man; or, at best, only me
dunn. sized.
But the world, behoIding the
marvel Of his influence, renem.
bers him and calls him great.

Europe, birthplace of the play

principal countries of the Old World.
After period of decadence in

America, which learned about play

made decided progress toward

yet has much to accomplish, is In

Such are the analyses made by
competent observers returning to the
United States from studies of health

The national neglect Of the old

way before the wave Of bathing popu-

an important part of a nations edu-

Another authority who is impressed
with Europe's hygienic renaissance is

He points out that while Europe
really paved the way for the public
playground system now in vogue
throughout the world. she fell behind
in developming her brain-child in all

in putting into widespread practice
the ideas rightly hers. America arous-

OBSCURE GRILL

Famous Old English Eating

Chicago. Aug. 13 Hidden be- meath the cornices of towering build ings which flank it, a little grill room deep in the business district, unknown to most of the thousands who pass it daily, has won wide re- pute as one of the notable eating places of either hemisphere.
 It is St. Hubert's English grill. and its staunch oaken tables have been spread to many son of the crown sojourning in mid-America. From it's ceilings hang two hun dred English pipes, through whose clay stems the smoke of rare tobac- cos has been drawn by adventurers from around the world. Charles Dickens, son of the novelist, found hospice within it's rough-hewn gran ite walls, and Henry Irving and Sir Thomas Lipton have come through its broad oak door to find what they declared to be a genuine English mutton chop.
 A Chicago clubman, Willard Gentleman, long since deceased, founded the grill in token to a fancy for English foods. Finished in English style. it is adorned with tapestries. prints, oils and table. ware of rare origin.
 The pipes were collected at the behest of Capt. Robert Forhan English short story writer Under his sponsorship the Adventures club, a group of globetrotters, gath cred at the grill to trade tales of the seven seas, with many noted traveller as their guest.
