The Pennsylvania rallroad is cur- tailing with a vengeance. They have changed the name of the president of the road from McCrea to Rea. It will take less ink for signatures. When Mr. and Mrs. Wilson go to the White house they will say, “Greet- ings, President Taft”; that is, if they accept the invitation of President and Mrs. Taft to dine there this winter. Reports say President Mellen of the New Haven road and President Cham- lin of the Grand Trunk worked in the same office. They are close enough together to be in the same school now. There is trouble enough in Turkey now without adding to it the horrors of cholera and smallpox, Surely the Red Cross is going to have plenty to do for some time in its particular line of work, The gift of a dreadnaught costing $12,000,000 to the navy of the United Kingdom has been secured from the Malay States, but it is doubtful if Canada can be worked into such a state of mind. The Texas authorities who wanted Lincoln's picture removed and order- ed President Taft's picture changed for Woodrow Wilson's in the school- books, must be planning for current events instead of history. The home-rule bill promises to cause a war in parliament even be- fore Ulster gets a chance to show its military strength. The defeat of the | financlal feature of the bill gave rise to the stormy session which is faced, President-elect Wilson hes declared for the open-door policy at the White house. His two predecessors were both strong advocates of the idea until it was found impossible to attend to callers and look after the mujtitudi- nous duties of the office at the same time. 44 Can't Endure Publicity.

There are lots much money you have if you are dis- | contented—you are poor beside the man who only has faith and hop and peace. The man who takes stock in himself and keeps his character at | par can never be poor. Money mak the mare go, but it doesn’t make tI man! To possess a rich mind and a noble spirit is indeed to be rich. Too many people think that high living is an aim in life, when simple living passed it at the distance pole nturies ago. Some one sald. “Tell | e what you eat and I will tell you what you are!” He doubtless could tell you whether you were sensible or foolish—temperate or intemperate— and this might foreshadow all the rest. It is the high-seasoned, mixed diets which have made the Americans | a race of dyspeptics, and which still holds the life of a generation down to vears, What you eat will not real what you are, but it fore- what you are likely to be. An over-fed, clogged system drives out health and produces an invalid. Most invalids are the victims of injudicious and intemperate living; and they will not thank you for making the way to health plain to them. Man does not enjoy belng sick, byt a great many things he enjoys in life breed sickness. It is not strange that man comes to belleve in luck. There are many things in life which tend to confirm him in the opinfon that luck is against him. When things are done by rule, results are not always the same. What spells success this year may spell failure next. Most any one of mind and mem- ory knows the truth of this. There appears to be an element of uncer- tainty about almost- everything man engages in. Belief in luck is not all attributable to lgnorance, or lack of skill. The man who had been digging for oil on his farm for a year was not to blame for thinking when his neighbor dug for water and struck oil it was a streak of good luck. When a hufricane does great damage! to my nelghbor's property and skips mine, why shouldn't I think so far as m interests are concerned that it was af plece of good luck? Nature teaches us there is something to chance! Have you ever asked yourself how often you stand for principle and how often 'vou follow e blind lead? We are all of us a good deal like a drawn glass of beer—two-thirds froth. In important matters, Bill, too often does things because Jim Is going to, or re- refuses to do them because Hen is that way. We are swerved by most any- thing but principle—we ail dodge ask- ing ourselves why we are doing things as men and citizens.

Doubtless Tennyson gave us a glimpse into his own spiritual experi- ence in Merlin and the Gleam! “There on the border Of boundless ocean, And all but in Heaven , Hovers the Gleam. Not of the sunlight, Not of the starlight, Not of the moonlight, O young mariner, Down to the haven Call your companions, Launch your vessel, And crowd your canvas, And, ere it vanishes, Over the margin, After it, follow it, Follow the gleam That the great laureate kept the quest all will testify who love his poetry. He had better success, per- | haps, than that other English poe Tom Hood, who confessed in later life that he was farther off from heaven | than when he was a boy. It is good to follow the gieam even if at times it becomes a mere speck on the horizon. You need never lose hope for a man while he retains a par- ticle of his idealism. The gleam has a | way of growing brighter as we pursue it. It is only when it vanishes utterly out of sight that night falls. It is to be expected that an ideal will be far in advance of our present at- tainment. Its value is in its power to lure us from afar. Satisfied people are not necessarily the ones who are arriving. It was an English states- man who said not long since. “The na- tion which is content is lost” The words remind us of what Aristotle | said centuries ago of the Spartans, “They prospered when thy fought for victory, they perished when they had achieved it" The remedy for the ancient nation was in pursuit of a flying goal that advanced with each new success. The same is true for modern nations and for individual men. The ideal of achievement which should be the inspiration for every ear- nest worker is nowhere better illus- trated than by & story of the Ameri- can artist Chase. When a recent visi- tor to his studio asked, “What picture do you consider your masterpiece? He pointed for answer to a blank canvas | hanging conspicuously in a frame on the wall. “That” he said “is my best work. have painted on it thousands of times, and 1 know I am getting on with my citizen sinful ga on of her poultry ; 'HERE 15 1o adver Two factions in the same church can | gasiorn Coanootiont & | say meaner things about one another | letin for brainess resu edium in 1% The Bul ChooseYour Overcoat Here Today you why they are what they do not art because each year I paint a better Profess to be!
