When he opens his mouth he says something, when other people simply enunciate words. At the dedication of a vocational training school in Illinois the other day he said: “Too many persons who see the sign ‘P. C’ in the heavens think it means ‘Preach Christ,’ when It means ‘Plow Corn’'” Because of this, he pointed out “a vast army of persons whose labors would make for the in- dustrial advancement of the nation, have econceived themselves fitted for the fancied nobler pursuits, and thus the progress they would have made in the work they are fitted for is lost.” It is through such misinterpreta- tions of signs as this that good farm- becor.e poor preachers; and that the attempt is so often made to drive a square peg through a round hole. What the world needs is men who plow, who ne, who plan, and by their practical works they are made better preachers. Do not misinterpret the signs, but roll up your sleeves and do something. THE DOLLAR SAVED. The doliar saved is the mark of suc- cess. James J. Hill in an address said If you want to know whether you are destined to be a success or a fail- ure in life, you can easily find out. The test is simple and infallible. Are you able to save money? If not, drop out. You will lose. You may think not, but vou will lose as sure as you live. The seed of success is mot in The dollar 1s not the whole thing; it is omly the evidence of the ability to save, to exercise the self-control and the self-denial to do little things until in the aggregate you are forced and the world is forced to recognize that vou have done something great. Saving the dollar is simply cultivat- ing quality—gathering the power which bespeaks for you prudence and superi- or manhood. To grip the dollar for the dollar's sake alone is miserly, is dwarfing. The dollar-savi power has many at- tributes which recognized ennoble the human soul and make it a power for g0od work of every kind. The ability to get the dollar develops the ability BE A PUSHER. It iz easier to be a grumbler than a builder. It takes mental ability to plan, while any man can growl on a sour stomach. In municipal growth | the pusher is the force and the fault- finder the check in every direction. What every city needs for its ad ment is as many pushers as pos and as few checkers. Manufacturers who are seeking a location for a business are strongly impressed by the spirit of the people. The facilities for getting raw material and for shipping goods, the abundance of labor and the wage rates, the price of land and power and illuminants, and the tax rate must all make a fay- orable impression. In this age of stren- uous competition everything must be right that it may be successfully met, and it eannol he right uniess tha peo- ple of a city are alive, just and fair, Tt i the spirit and peliey of a eom- munity whieh work together ts make a place inviting for businass, and it is up to every citizen to do his part, ible Ambassador Wison sheuld net be blamed if ho rememiers President Wilson as the man with bad maaners, A kind handshake or ‘adieu the presi- dent declined 1o give him, The ten pelisewomsn pa Chicage's forre arve equal in various wavy 18 twenty of the gops in men's eipthes.

Kansas is calling for 20,000 harvest hands, and will doubtless get them; and she will harvest her crop, and 'most of the money she pays to this floating army of workers. They are followed by a smailer army 6f harvesters, who sow not, neither do they spin, but on Saturday night they think they are sports, and with rat- peisen labelled whiskey, marked cards and ieaded dice, skin the workers out of thelr week's earnings, This is not enly the ease In Kansas, but everywhere. is shadowed by the harvesters, who fieece them, as the saloons, poker Jeints and dives everywhere bear wit- mess. It takes a man to earn money, and it takes mere of a man to make a wise use of it Tt is well said of those whe are so easlly victimized: “Fools and their ‘| money are soon parted.” THE SONGS WE SING. Tt is afirmed as a fact that the songs that are being sung today are more vulgar than the ultra-fashions which are being so fiercely criticized, and they prepare the mind for the immod- esty which shocks decent people. A magazine writer inquires of par- ents “if they know the songs their daughters are singing® The chances are that they do mot. If the music is pleasing, little attention is given to the words which are corrupting and degrading. the minds of the people. Young and old alike are absorbing with great glee the vulgar sentiments which make +the turkey trot, tango, and what are termed “physical dances” possible and popular. The world has had too much of this ragtime—ragtime in words, in dress, in dance, in music and in behaviour. The big cities are chasing it out and dulge n it or listen to it. Ragtime is vulgarity, and the war upon it should be persistent. live together. EDITORIAL NOTES. Mexico has ordered the missionaries out! Is there anvthing that Mexico needs more?

Nothing is toe tiny to make a picture in his mirrors— nothing too large. When the Psalmist sang of “the green pastures” and “the still waters,” he felt what the Ged- eonseious human soul must always feel in the prescence of God's wonder- ful werks. Yet Bevee has said that the beauty which inspires man is part- Iy in and of himself. The eve is quickened by the spirit which recog- nizes beauty in any form. The love of the beautiful becomes a second na- ture to those who have eyes to see, and the beauty of goodness looms above all, for it is Gad.

To add to the horrers of the scene, fires had .breken out here and there, and these whe survived were subjected to a deuble danger. I say those whe survived, for a fioating form now angd then told of the less of hu- man life in many cases. As soon as pessible, rescue parties were formed to cenvey the sufferers to places of greater samety. Many cling- ing to their reofs were saved in this way, and gany of them, forgetting their own ‘distress helped ~ to rescue others. One such party called to Jabez Hamilton to avail himself of the chance of escape, but he refused to go. Telling them of his mother's death, he said, “No, I'll stay with the house. I have nothing to live for, and, if the house goes I'll go with it. Go on, help others, and leave me to my fa Nothing would change his _decision, they were forced to let him have his own way, and help others who needed their assistance. Descending upon the stream he saw a mass of trees torn up by the roots, and evidently headed for his house. He awaited the trush, which he felt was inevitable, with a degree of satisfac- tion in the thought that he and his mother would not be long separated. A little change in the direction of the current, however, sent only the tree tops against the house, and from the | midst of their tangle came the cry of {a little ‘child in distress. Close inspee- tion revealed a small form caught {among the branches, and within reach from his roof. Jerry rushed to the roof, and quickly grasped the little. waif which proved to be a girl not much more than an infant. The man was always fond of child- ren, but how to care for this one was a puzzle to him. Her clothing was torn into shreds by the clinging branches, and she was exhausted with the cold and exposure of the night. A {brisk rub restored some warmth and |life, and the woolen shirt which he had on provided the most available garment at hand. The next thing was food for the little one. This sent him | foraging in the rooms below, where he found some cans of condensed milk covered with mud.

Finally hands removed and cared for the lifeless form of his mother, and loffered to take the child to other care. This last Jabez refused, saying: “I claimed 1 had nothing left te live for.

He tried to teach the little one to call him Uncle Jabez but that was too much for her. Daddy was the only word she could say and Daddy Jay became her title for him and he seem- ed to like it. Her own name could not be learned, but Blizabeth was his mother’s name, and this he gave to her. So she was soon known as Elizabeth Hamilton, and people quit laughing at Jabez, as they noticed his faithtul care for the child and the comfort she was bringing to him. He evidently shad transferred his de votion from his mother to the child, and was the happier for the interest she put into his life. Truth to tell his heart went out to her from the time her tiny hand clung to his_clumsy finger as she looked up into his face with a grateful “Goo Goo.” Enabled soon to regain the position he formerly held, he bravely went on with his life, whith was brightened by the love lavished upon him by the child whom he sometimes called his bit of driftwood. trouble troubles us.
