Every man of intelligence recognizes that he wio leads only the strenuous Jife is winning material things at the gacrifice, of spiritual development. It has been shown to man that he was created to battle in the intellectual, moral and spiritual worlds as well as in the realms of labor, mechanics and mercantile pursuits; and to be an evenly developed, self-polsed, useful citizen he must give attention to the graces as well as to the employments. If men realized this as they should we should not have to be marshalled to attend to “The King's Business,” nvhich is a business of love and mercy over against the engagements of toil and sin. ' ‘We are all conscious of the fact um' “Some day the silver cord will break _ And we no more as now shall sing”} | and as Mrs. Urania Leach Bailey ex- Pressed it, we at times become con- | sclous of the fact that “the mistakes | of our lives have been many,” and that “the sins of our~ heart have been more.” Tt is then we should turn to “the word which lighteth every man who cometh into the world Our business fe to achieve, and the Xing's business is to make us all real- §ze that we should not live for self alone—that we are capable of and should put Into this life something etter than we take out of it—that we #hould elevate not oppress our breth- ren—that we should make the path of | life easy, not hard. | The Saviour of men was not a sen- timentalist, but a practical leader of men in the path of life. The Golden Rule contains the essence of love and of common sense, and as a rule of gov- ernment has never been placed in im+ portance second to any constitution or document for government the com- bined scholarship of the world has produced. Our Great Example never suffered action to obstruct light. This 35 the lesson for all men to learn. They should look for that light which flames in the heart, which illumines the temple of their characters, which teaches them ¥ow to gather up the sunshine Lying all around their path— Not to scatter thorns, but roses— To beam with Love, not nourish ‘Wrath. / Life without the hope that abides— without the light which directs, the Seart that is true, is sure to become wearisome and oppressive. For where | disappointment is always waiting upon endeavor man s sure to feel that life ds not worth living. The King's business puts faith up- on a firm foundation, and gives man faith in himself, in his fellowmen and in Truth, and imbues him with the _power and the peace which nothing else on earth can give—the power which wins the victory over death and the grave and the peace which abideth where He reigns and angels dwell. HOW PROBATION WORKS. That the man who spends his ywa In the saloons and leaves his f in squalor and want needs a conser- vator is recognized by the observant (s public and the law, and that is one way In which this humane enactment operates. The assistant secretary of the Connecticut Prison assoclation | says of the man who used to support the saloons and let the town support his family: “Now the probation officer collects Bis wages and expends them for his | family. In Hartford alone over were thus coflected by the probation | officer last year, in New Haven over | $2,600, in Waterbury over $2,700, and the state over $17,000. Fines and costs Amposed in court are also often worked out on probation, instead of in jail, with great saving to the offender and 20 the state The law proceeds to check vice in the juvenile ranks which results in creating a larger per cent. of good | citizens. As Judge Warner says: “The duty of the probation officer is to win the child’s confidence, and | overcome its bad habits or dangerous tendencles through friéndly persuasion and improvement of home condiitons | and associations of the child. Obedi ence to certaln rules is required, and, for a violation of them, the child may be returned to court for more severe treatment, but this does not often bappen. The asdistant secretary says that “Probation is the greatest step | we have yet taken in solving the prob- | lems of crime; and the result shows | that it is working well NOT A NEW WOMAN. Chicago's $10,000 wéman superin- Rendent of schools is admittedly a star Yot the first magnitude, for it is ques- tlonable it there is another woman in the world as distinguished as an edu- eator or receiving so high a salary, so the women who believe in equal rec- ognition for equal merit and equal pay “for equal service, have a right to feel | that woman under equal conditions is @ble to compete with man for life's prizes in most of the occupations ‘of dfe. They are showing that Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, the superintendent of the Chicago schools, Is 64, gets $10,000 & year, and }us a man assistant who | @ets only haif that amount of salary. " Mrs. Young i3 not a “new woman,” but 88 one of the foremost educators " the count; She was one of sixty * mpplicants for the place, the rest be- ¥ #ng all men. It was a great achievement for her %o win against such odds, and if she { | mecomplishes half that is expected of jber, her supremacy will mark the Jdawn of a new era in educational . matters at Chicago.

Following a condemnation of the Sherman “anti-trust” law as vio- lating the constitution in that it pro~ hibits freedom of contract, he suggests a federal law that would prohibit un- der severe penalties the giving away of commodities or the lowering of their prices with a purpose on the part of the giver to crush out competition. This, he argues, wourrflxe injuri- ous combinations impossible, for as soon as the independent producer or dealer was assured that he would be protected by the law and the strong arm of the government he would go In or stay in and compete and woild, in addition, have this advantage—that the competing *“trust” would in dil probability have to pay dividends on “watered” stock, while the independ- ent would not. It is maintained, fur- ther, that it is perfectly lawful for any.one man or set of men to control the output and the price of any com- modity or to put up the price of it. But under the operation of.the law suggested, he contends,, the situation produced by putting up the price would “cure itself” by the profits that others would make by entering the business at the high prices. In oth- er words, independents could not be kept out or be forced out of the busi- ness when once they were in it through a lowering of prices by the “trust”; but they could, through active competition force a division of the | volume of the business between them- Ives and the “trust.” It is not clear here exactly how the public would be protected against inordinately high prices, unless it be assumed that the free competition thus made possible and protected by the law would fn- evitably, sconer or later, keep prices | at a normal level, This, it is claimed by opponents, would be just as much an interference with the constitutional freedom of a recognized ac- s it for e ly to read the signs. Thin and thick eyebrows, slightly arched and high-arched, all tell a different tale, and 1 do not feel like saying too much about these indi cators of character which cannot con- veniently be rubbed out. But I will say that w] you meet one with bushy, archihg eyebrows which meet above' the nose, men or women, you see eyebrows that spell sincerity, and this calls attention to the fact that sincerity is not thus spelled any too often. They are people who mean what they say; and yet, like the rest of us, some of them may prove on acquaint. ance to-be almost too mean to live. Almost all these personal qualities ars reversible—bright on one side and black on the other. ‘The/November moth is here. I have seen this little white-winged black- gpecked geometer with his yellow, fuzzy collar flying at the electric arc lights of recent frosty nights. He comes a little before his time, like some of these municipal anniversaries, but he doesn’t appear until a topcoat is convenlent and one's breath becomes visible on the frosty air. He looks more like a butterfly than the regula tion moth, and the cocoon he weaves is a loose network on the wild plum bushes which shows he does not know how tc hang up like a butterfly or to roll up in a silken blanket like a true moth. He seems to be a conmecting link between the two, as the Peacock moth, Saturina o, is between the moths that spin and the moths that burrow. He is no Eskimo, doesn't dress for winter weather and soon is frozen, but its eggs will stand winter cold and jts children are the merry lit- tle caterpillars of June. | think, were | an old bachelor, that I would make ® collection of. ladies’ hatpins just to inform myself about the variety and character of these adorn- ments which can hold a big hat down in the face of Old Boreas, or make a big man tremble when in the grasp of a flerce little woman. They are made contract as the Sherman law is, but upon the plea that it might accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number it might find approval in the supreme court and in congress. THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS. We hear a great deal nowadays about the Des Moines plan of munici- pal government; and it is alluded to as a promising and progressive plan. he Des Moines Capital says that very important enterprise in that city is making money.” This is a good deal to say for a trial of three years and it is not surprising that another three campaign is under way. The Capital says: “In the growth of cities it often 1spires that business is overdone. not true of Des Moines. booster committees have never ade an effort to secure the estab- lishment of. a retail store. It often happens that retail establishments are too numerous. The booster commit- tees have gone on the supposition that retail establishments would be numer- ous enough without effort and would keep pace with the growth of the city. “All efforts toward growth have been In the direction of substantial achieve- ment which will add to permanent conditions. “Therefore, notwithstanding this city has had three years of growth and three years' increasing confidence, there is no evidence of things being overdone, hence continued growth may be expected. The Greater Des Moines committee is organizing and planning for another three-year campaign with every feeling and assurance that Des Moines can continue to grow for an- other 'three-year period without go- ing beyond the demands of the com- munity or the state. “Every bit of work done in Des s | Moines for the growth of the city has been on the safest The boom has not entered in. : sane and safe method is the Moines way, and it never over- or underdoes things, but just promotes a healthy continuous per- formance, That is good enough for any city. EDITORIAL NOTES. Roller skating is booming not onl. in this country, but in most other ciy ilized countries. The assailers of the suffragettes of England -have learned to call them Hooligettes, which must be very pleasing to the Hooligans.

As I'm not a bear I feel in no special danger. In ornamental heads they vary from cut glass to jet, from brilliants to brass and are of every jmaginable de- sign. Some of them ought to make a bachelor glad that he never married since he escaped both the expense and the danger of them. | suppose it is true that no one is really devoid of all commendable traits although with our disgust and preju- dices excited you and I have not at times the ability to find even one in the erring ones we know. It used to be the custom among the Indians to say something good of the dead, but one dissolute Old Red who had g long rec- ord of evil deeds and a short list of g0od ones died in the gutter and some one must say some good of him before he could be removed. The Indians filed by with grunts of disgust by scores and it looked as if the buzzards would have to move the remains, but a char- itable old squaw who feared for the worst and hoped for the best stopped and looking at Old Red said: “He was a good smoker!” That broke the si- lence and solved the problem. A very little good has magic in it sometimes. Once in a while, strolling in the woods or looking from the car window, we see twin trees, and we ask our- selves how they became twins. You may have seen twin chestnuts or twin birches, but oaks and elms cannot grow close enough to look like twine I sup- pose they are called twins because the two suckers started from the parent Toot at about the same time, received a falr share of sustenance and ynder the same conditions grew to nearl the same size. These paired trees look like congenial partners—they almost seem to cuddle together, like playmates, and their dancing leaves in the gentle breezes appear to signal-each other of their pleasures, just as their thrashing and torn limbs and flying leaves in cold storms express to one another their peril and _distress. Trees don't talk, say you! Somehow they say all kinds of things to me. Why should we call pretty infant trees suckers? A friend who enjoy: nurscs seedlings and fancies them as 1 myself do, called my attention to some of mature's creations for him this year; and he had a novelty in a deep " maroon single flower with a lake center where other blooms are yellow, ranging from buttercup yellow to buff, and I shared his delight, for 1 had and lost a bedutiful flower of this type some years ago It was so dwarfed, 0 tiny and so precious that I felt that no name but The Jewel would fit it; and it wintered well and I started thres the next summer, but somehow the conditions set up by my corelessness weze 100 much for its weakened condi- tion and all the roots died, I have forgotten hundreds of these bright floral children, but I never could forget that one. 1 ami pleased to think a friend has been likewise blessed and I hope that he will have better luck. dahlias and The weighing machine that passes out a card’ with your weight printed upon it and then plays you a tune is made to flatter those who like to welgh up Of course, no weighing machine would _ever become popular that let one appear (o be a lightweight, 9nd in consequence of competition mo two ever weigh one alike.

The real rural hush of night never comes upon it, for the cars run all night. it is 2 a. m. before the theater-going population are all carried home and it is 3 before the dissolutes and drunks forming the day's rear guard seek bed and rest. Then the relief gangs and early workers begin to find their places in the manifold in- dustries and the night workers com- mence' to precede the influx of day workers which gradually grows into the morning rush.

The watcher sighed, then shrugged his shoulders vigorous- 1y as though to shake off some feell which possessed him. He was a tal splendidly proportioned man of 4 with square-cut jaw, grave dark eyes and hair very slightly touched with gray. “I have never gotten over the wonder of it,” he murmured, “that plain, shy little child has developed into 'such an attractive woman. If only I were not 80 old—" “Wallace,” called a querulous feminine voice. The tall man on the veranda gave one last look at the approaching couple and turned to enter the house, where his sister evidently desired his help with her troublesome household accounts. The two young people drawing near to the house were good to look at. The man, who would come of age on the mor- row, somewhat resembled his uncl Wallac: Grant, with whom he and his mother made their home, except that his figure was decidedly boyish and his hair was not cropped so closely as to prevent its curling slightly upon his broad forehead. Esther Charles, who had made her home here for the past year since completing the course of education laid out for her, would reach her 21st birthday the following week. Esther's blue eyes were bent upon the ground to hide the laughter in thelr merry depths, but In a sympa- thetie voice she murmured: “Yes, Har- ry, dear, but which one are you in love with now? You haven't told me the lady's name.” She was accustomed to having Harry’s affairs of the heart confiled to her, but the weather vane of his affection sometimes veered so rapidly it was quite impossible for her to be absolutely sure of whom he was speakirg. . “It is Madge Clereford,” he replied reproachfully: then impetuously, “any other 4ttachment I have bad, Esther, was as nothing compared with' the love I have for Madge. Esther,” pleading- Iy, “won't you manage somehow to prepare uncle? I think I can man- ag> inother all right, but for some reason Unéle Wallace seems to avoid any conversation relating to love and marriage.” The girl's face grew very grave and her lips trembled slightly. The de- parting sunlight rested lovingly upon the shining golden bralds which crowned her head. She did not smile now, but said, slowly, “Do you not think, Harry, it would make a better impression if you presented the mat- A M ORI A Rt SR, S strengthens the sinews and gives per- fect action to the digestive organs—it not only can put warmth into the room but strength into the back, brightness in the eye, elasticity into the stcp.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tocth might become a bear but it is a disgrace to a man. The true Christian must return good for evil and not evil for evil. -Some professedly good people are not too g00d to retaliate in kind and what a life they lead. You know religious homes where tit for tat is the rule and discord and misery the order of the day. What profiteth a man to return grudge for grudge and curse for curse? A bad temper fyspecks a prayerful record. What is there in meanness that adorns a plous person or improves the’condi- tion of the home or adds to the lustre of thy life? Calmness, self control, sweetness are the trinity of good char— acter and they are worth striving for every day in the year. SUNDAY MORNING TALK. “BE SOMEBODY.” This laconic injunction caught my eye the other day. It was the first headline of a bold-faced advertise- ment proclaiming the advantages of a certain school of correspondence. Tt offered attractive courses in engineer- ing, architecture, electricity and a number of other branches of learning and the inducement held Yorth was that it does not pay to settle down lazily in a minor position when by gaining ine that such an advertisement would command & higher salary. I can im- agine that such an advertisement would appeal powerfully to many young men. It suggests a differentiation of one- self from the common herd, a strking out boldly with the hope and expecta- tion of amounting to something. The nobodies are all about us. Some of them are amiable, well-meantg persons. But they lack ginger and 80. Negative, colorless, they are when the world wants men of conviction, men of action. Not so were the men who have real- Iy contributed something to humanity. “Be somebody,” whispered a voice in the ears of Tyndale early in the six- teenth century, and he set his teeth and said, “If God spares my life I will malke it possible for any plowboy in England to read the Bible in his own tongue.” “Be somebody,” was the bugle call a century ago to Samuel J. Mills, the American pioneer of the modern missionary movement, and he wrote in his diary, “No young man ought to think of living without try- ing to make his influence felt around the globe, “Be somebody,” said the inward monitor to ~Frances Willard, and out of her brain and heart came the splendid development of the Wom- an’s Chistian Temperance union. “Be somebody,” was the terse com- mand that spurred Willlam Booth on to organize the Salvation Army, And thus, time aftcr time, to the country lad hoeing his father’s carn, to the city clerk not content with be- ing a mere drudge, to the soclety maiden weary of her gayeties, to the middle-aged man consclous that there is yet another chance before the night closes in upon him, has come this in- cisive voice bidding the one addressed cease being “anybody” or “nobody” and rise to the dignity of “some- body.” It is a noble command. We are meant to be somebodies, to count for all we are worth, to play the game through fairly and vigorously and nev- er be quitters or shirks. The man- ager of a great corporation said re. cently that he sought for men to be- come agents of his company who could impress their individuality upon those with whom the concern did business, S0 that they would not think of it as an abstract entity but would personify it in the faces and figures of its cheery, whole-souled_drummers. Today, as|of yore when conditions were far simp- ler. people like to do business, not with a tremendous affair known as the Amalgamated Hair Pin company, Lim- ited, but with Jones and Smith ana Brown. If we cannot be somebody in the eyes of the big world, we can be within a limited area, We can be somebody to our children, our friends, our meigh- bors, our church associates, and the secret is first to build ourselves up in the finest graces and virtues and then to expend them lavishly on others. THE PARSO! more au tative of the s library, deep in thought. never been In love until now and could scarce understand the pent-i emo- tion within him ver his eyes rested upon Esther's He sighed 2s he mentally compared his age with hers and then thought of Harry. “Those two young people were meant for each other,” he thought, “and have evidertly discovered the fact. I.doubt if Esther could ever regard me in any other light than as her guardian.” At this juncture there was a light tap at the door. He was ashamed of the rush of blood within him as he re- cognized Esther’s knock. .“Come in," he called The girl entered, hesitat- ingly. She seemed at a loss how to bégin, and he remembered that for some time she had ceased to call him “Guardy,” her old pet name for him. He dully wondered why this was. Lately she had not addressed him di- rectly. Finally she said in a low voice: “Harry desires very much that I break to you the news of his engagement.” Shd faltered and her eyes dropped before the steady gaze of the man be- fore her. With an_effort he strove to conceal he said, dear child, I have been expecting this, and congratulate Harry and wish you both happiness from the bottom of hy heart.” Bewildered, she raised her head and looked at him. “But you don't under- stand,” she gasped. “It is Madge— Madge Clereford” “Madge Clereford,"” he repeated aft- er her in a‘dazed way, “but, Esther, I thought it must be you." “Oh, no—no—no, indeed” so vehe- mently that she caught her breath as she 1ealized. He looked more closely at the beautiful troubled face and downcast eyes. “Is it someone else, Esther?” he asked, gently. For a mo- ment she hesitated, then slowly nodd- ed. He took both her hands in his, and trying to speak In a fatherly way asked her to confide in him. He could not eliminate from his voice the in- tense feeling within him, and the girl, suddenly comprehending what this meant, grew more COUrageous. “You know him well, she whispered, “Who s he, darling?” the name es- caped him quite naturally. Then, as the golden head inclined toward him, almost roughly he placed his hand un- der her chin and lifted the drooping face The rioring dlushes told him the truth, bu before clasping hef in his arms he made his last stand. “Sweet- heart, I am so old——" and then ca- pitulated as two soft arms crept about his neck. Falf an hour alterward there was a. timid rap at the door and Esther started in dismay. “You haven't sald whether you ap- prove of Harry's engagement to Madge, and Harry is here to know his stand- ing with you.” “Do you suppose 1 could deny him what he asks when he has been so blind as to let a prize like this slip by him?” he asked. “But, Wallace, he never had any 8 cessity entall Dr. Cook has stood before a Balti- an represen- ve ent that does not commit itself with un- due haste to any side of a controversy, and has won its regards by his direct and unaffected manner of munuu his_exploit. ~Fortunately, com- munity is not called upon to decide the North pole , but it is satisfied with the quality of material that Dr. Cook has to present upon his lecture tour, u;enl‘t is pleased with the fact that he furnish an evening of fine entertainment.

They would like this fact to be estab- lished, because any man who has his record of unflagging enterprise, to- gether with his charm of personality, should be deserving of the success he asserts in his behalf. There is glory enough for both contestants. .

In other words, these figures show that less than 10 per cent. of the allens admitted in the month of March were equipped and trained to follow a giv en line of employment, whereas 77,058 were thrust upon us, in most cases so situated that they would be comnelied | SOLD BY t the first job, and at :uu.mg;end to them.
