Dally by Pee star Publishing “He that cannot think is a fool, He that will not is a bigot, He that dare not is a slave.” —Inscription on the wall of Andrew Carnegie’s library The High Plank Lay a plank on the ground and a million people will walk H without a thought of losing balance. Lift it 25 feet high, nd only one in a thousand will dare to walk it, Lift it 100 t, and not more than one in a million will venture upon it. It illustrates the difference between littleness and bigness pf purpose; and that difference is not in the plank, but in ple. f i : A big thing is generally done just as easily as a little one e-if one only gets at it with proper force applied in the right lace. The big automobiles run with less noise and seeming train than the little ones. The giant locomotive seems to Glide with greater ease than the dummy engine. THE STAR—SATUR DO YOU REMEMBER? The First Time You Called on a Girl—How Frightfully Large and Clumsy Your Hands The main difference between the millionaire and the per is that the one frames his thoughts to the forms of $nillions and the other his to forms of pennies. The main difference between the educated man and the ignorant one is that the one seizes upon the essential things and the cther does not Some of the most highly educated. men the world knows, pr ever has known, have had the least learning. Some of the world’s most learned men have been the most ignorant. What do you know that counts? There ts the measure of your education. What do you know and do to make your- self better and braver and brighter? That is the measure of your real culture, power and opportunity, It is really no harder to walk the high plank than the low one, except for fear. The many look down and fall through Wizziness. The few look straight ahead, confident of success. But remember this: However high your plank may be, make sure that you are walking it to something worth while. For many of the things that most of us deem big are really wery small; and many of things that most of us deem little Bre very big a; Men have controlled kingdoms who did not regulate their bwn homes. Men have won fortunes while wasting their lives. ‘There are never any vacancies in a well-conducted busi-| ness, but thete’s always room for a good man. It is true in all kinds of business. + The whole world is full of good places for a good man The practical question confronting every young man is Rot: Is a big job ready for you? But: Are you ready for a big job? If you have the right stuff in you, you don't have to go trawlingon your stomach for any man’s favor. You don’t need to beg for a job as though you were asking for charity. | But don’t swell up and wait for big jobs to come after you with a brass band. People will not take you at your own un- puprorted estimate. You have to show them. Lots of us envy the man in high place, thinking we could fill it as well as he does. It’s up to us to work up to it as he did. Ninety-nine men in a hundred think they cach would cut a fine figure if only they could be picked up and set upon a ready- made pedestal. But there's nobody in tite business of making pedestals for others to stand on. Men’s abilities are measured by what they have done, not by what they think they could do if somebody else gave them a chance. Most all of the men in the world who have amounted to mucif never had half a chance until they made it themselves. A Brand New Test Henry Hazard, United States naturalization agent at Port- fand, Oregon, has established a precedent in refusing citizen ship to one Talag Halvorsen Dahil. The latter proudly admit- Red that he beat his wife. Being born in this country still has many advantages. No gtrong-armed member of the Association of Domestic Strap Artists is required to show his credentials before “representing! his wife” at the polls. Neither does the man who causes his} wife to be a dark lantern expert at rifling his jeans of a few Stray nickels have to divulge what form of household manage- ment he practices. Yet Mr. Hazard has plainly done what he fould to show that unconsidered domestic relations have some thing to do with whether the citizen is likely to be a good ne or not.

THE GREAT American public isn’t interested right now in politics. The question of the moment is, will the stork bring to Mrs. Madeline Force Astor a boy or a girl?

JANE ADDAMS of Hull House, Chicago, has done a famous work in the cause of the poor and suffering, but she’s got famous all over again now because she’s the first woman fver to have seconded the nomination of a man for president.
