for it plays for higher stake. Balance
remains the ideal; but highly sensitives
overstrung nerves do break down out
of the ordinary work and out OF the
ordinary risks.
The other side is the quality of ones

the question in two cases, the one that
of a successful college president, the
other of prominent statesman, as to
how they came to go SO far in their
careers, and received the same answer
from close and admiring friends-it's
because of their limitations. They had
great singleness of purpose, were not
troubled by doubts and hesitations that
would have disturbed more sensitive
personality. They used their intelli-
gence to the utmost. Many things we're
beyond them, but what they attempted
and to the limit of their understanding,
they did well.

isn't quite as high in achievement as

recognizes ones capacities and ones
limitations. Every one of us in small

of his defects. If we manage to make
the best of our qualities and minimize
the defects, we succeed. The more sem

Man as a Machine.

II you take a superficial look at a
man as he goes about the days work
you can't help comparing him with a
machine As an object in motion, he
excites about the same interest as a
steam shovel at work in an excavation
Sometimes it would seem that the steam
shovel has more versatility than some
men. In fact any man placed in Q
strange situation will blunder about and
make lot of useless movements be-
fore he gets the proper combinations
of wheels and levers going, so as to
achieve what is called a perfect ad-
justment
If you study man more carefully your
superficial observation is likely to be
confirmed, rather than reconstructed
not to say refuted. At least, that's what
the extreme behaviorists say, and ]
am here only stating their general po-
sition.
The "selenium dog" experiment Is a
good example of how outside influences

November 8, 1854 - Rain, fog and
mud have not kept from the streets of
this city tonight great throngs OF peo--
pie who have come out to get the latest
returns from today's presidential cleo
ton.
The Republicans and Democrats were
equally enthusiastic early in the eve
ming. When it became apparent that
President Lincoln had been reelected
the Democratic supporters of McClel-
Ian lost most of their ardor, while the
Republicans or Union men," began to
parade through the streets
Almost before the gas was lit people
with umbrellas and rolled-up trousers
began to hurry through the downtown
section of the city in quest of election
news. About o'clock the early returns
began to come in, and the bobbing
about of umbrellas here and there be-
tween clubroomS and hotels became
furious. It is probable that the rain
and umbrellas averted many row, for
no man can fight well while holding a
spread umbrella, and by the time he
has shut and looped 1t up his angry
passions have had time to simmer down.
The main rallying points are the IN
lon League Clubrooms on Ninth street
and the rooms of the Democratic Asso-
citation at Parker's Hall. At the Union
League Club there is an immense
throng. The chair is occupied by Lewis
Clephane. president of the Lincoln and
Johnson Club.
AT quarter past Z o'clock Mr.. Gle
phane announced the opening gun-a
dispatch from New York City, as fol-
lows: state all right for Lincoln"
tremendous applause greeted the read
ing Of this news.
Various fragmentary returns from
soldiers in the hospitals and camps in
and around Washington were received
and showed Lincoln leading Mcclellan.
little later returns from Philadelphia
and Boston increased the enthusiasm
of the audience.
The chair announced that vote
taken on the boat from Fortress Mon
roe today among officers stood only SO
for Lincoln and z for Mcclellan. @. H.
Plant returning from Baltimore,
brought word that Lincoln has carried
that city by at least 10000 majority.
A vote at the Navy Yard among Penn
Sylvania marines and sailors was as fol-
lows: Lincoln, IS; Mcclellan, 10.
AS the returns continued to indicate
the reelection of Lincoln the crowd
began to sing the Hallelujah song.
The Democratic headquarters were
crowded early. The Mcclellan men
were cheered by some of the early frag-
mentary reports, but as later returns
pointed to the reelection of President
Lincoln, the audience began to dispense.
At midnight only about 800 remained
in the hope that news more encourag-
ing to the Mcclellan cause would be
received before morning.
