Copyright, by the Character Devel opment 1-oa sue J HE weaving of estry tr oriental rugs Is a slow and labori ous process, luto the warp of tlie fabric with utmost precision every particular thread Is put in lilt by bit by band, a islngle thread tit a time, day In and day out for years monoto nous n n d slow, with no variation of movement, only a difference In the color of the threads to mark the dif ference In the work done, and yet nt the end the beautiful pattern of deli cacy and delight repays nil the months of uninteresting toll, perseverance und power of endurance. Imagine the process of giiudlng a glass lens no change hour after hour, the same movements, the same sleepy bum of the wheel and not much to show (it the end. The grinder grows tired. hut keeps on. Without infinite patience such work could not be done, nor could all the finest attainments be possible. It Is true, as Mlltou in bis blindness said. "They ulso serve who only stand , and wait." But the best teachings of patience for the young will differ somewhat from that. Old nge, be reavement, life s failures and disap pointments call for a saintly patience. But youth needs another sort the patience that overcomes adverse con ditions. Cheerfully making the most of meager opimrtunltlos, singing In stead of sighing along toilsome ways, getting even n child's grip on the best things and holding on while slowly the worth of it all unfolds these nro the ways of patience for the young. Job gives us the right starting point. The conditions of poverty or dullness, of weakness of body or weakness of will, must not make us lose heart. They are simply handicaps which re quire to be overcome by patience and perseverance. While these two trnlts are often associated with each other, there Is n difference between them. Perseverance Is active to achieve. Patience Is passive not to despair. Nearly nil that Is called genius Is courage In the form of patience. De Malstre says that to know how to wait Is the great secret of success. We must sow before we can reap and must often wait long for the har vest. But the Latin proverb says, "Time and patience will change the mulberry leaf to satin." Audubon, the naturalist. In the pros ecution of his studies In natural his tory bad traveled for years over the country collecting specimens. From these he made careful and elaborate original drawings, which were after ward to be published. After enormous labor be had made a collection of 200 of these original drawings, which wero nicked lu a box until the entire work should be completed. When the time came for publication he opened the box find found that mice had got In and de stroyed the entire collection.

It Is expected that Kaiser Wilhelin will pardon the convicted Englishmen next June nt the time of the coronation of King George. England does pot regard Germnn spies with so much disfavor.

HOW TO LEAD HOBO ARMY. "Millionaire Tramp" Plans to Forage on Illinois Farmeri. James Eads How of St. Louis, presi dent of the National Brotherhood Wel fare association, sometimes known ns the "millionaire tramp," Is organizing nn nrmy of hoboes to march from St. Louis to Milwaukee. The national con vention of the Welfare association meets In Milwaukee Jan. 31. nnd the start will be made In time for the dele gates to leisurely stroll the 280 miles from the Missouri metropolis fo Chi cago nnd then hike the eighty miles farther to their destination. The Journey will be made on foot, nnd the hoboes will depend for food on JAUE3 KAUH HOW. what they can beg nt farmhouses. Be ing engaged in a serious mission with business to be done when Milwaukee Is reached, the hoboes will have n legiti mate excuse If nsked to cut wood or do other work to pay for their food. They will have no time to spend nt such frivolous pursuits, Mr. How, who will lead the army, Is by no means n millionaire, though be has a fortune ample for his needs. He Is sincerely trying to better tho condi tion of tho unfortunates, though the methods he adopts do not always have tho npprovnl of other philanthropists. The walk will take about two weeks, according to How. and Is to bo inndo for the experience. Business men who feel athletically Inclined and some of the more athletic ministers and physi cians of St. Louts, as well as St. Louis charity workers and philanthropists, will be nsked to accompany tho small army and get actual facts relative to the real living conditions, snclntly, morally and physically, of the holo. t'ef; pf' ! - -H- : ! New Ruler of t Siam to Make I Many Changes 4 s, IAM S new king, who made a tour of the United States some rears ago while he was the crown prince, will be known aa King Citowfa, his full name being Chowfa Muha Yajlravudh. He was recently crowned with appropriate cer emonies, and It Is expected that he will gradually make many changes la the government of hU land. He haa been well trained, aud so far as edu cation goes he is fitted to become a ruler who will be a great help to his people. Ho Is an interesting character In many ways, conituning as no ooes me progresslveness of the west with the superstition of tho east He Is entire ly different from the men who have ruled Slam before him, though his fa ther, the late King t'bulalongkoru, was himself progressive and a believer In education. Dissatisfied with tho schools in his owu land, he sent bis eldest son, destined to succeed him, to Eng land and Germany to be educated. After siH'iidlng several years under private tutor and in studying British, military methods nt Sandhurst the fu ture king passed a creditable examina tion nnd was admitted to Oxford uni versity, where ho was graduated with honors. Ills success so pleased lit father that ten of his stepbrothers wero sent to England, where they went through Eton. After finishing his education In Eng land and Germany the future klngvlH Ited tho I'nlted Stntes nnd studied po litical and commercial conditions here. Ho was particularly plensed with tho school system of America, nnd ho de clared that sotno day his country should havo similar advantages. It la believed that the first reform the new king will attempt will be to establish schools In Slam. While ho wns In this country the future ruler spent somo time nt the world's fair In St. Iuls, where he wa4 a close student of exhibits. With tho exception of a few schools. In Bangkok, tho capital, education In Slam Is now entirely In the hands of the priests, the boys going to tho tem pies for instruction between tho ages of eight nnd thirteen. Tho teaching Is most Inadequate and elementary. By the precepts of th i KINO CBOWVA Or SIAM. Buddhu no money Is accepted, but the pupils are obliged to dig In the temple gardens, do other lalsir or make pres ents to tho priests Instead. Girls, if they nro not taught by their brothers at home, receive no education. King Chowfa Is twenty-nine years old. Ho rules over about 10,000,000 persons. 0,000,000 of them being In Slam proper. He speaks several lan guages nnd Is familiar with the work of tho best British, American, French, German nnd Siamese authors nnd has written severnl books and plays that wero favorably received. He has ap peared on tho stage ns nn amateur and lias shown ability that would enable him to mnko a living as an actor If U wero necessary. A little less thau five yenrs ngo King Chowfa created quite n stir in literary circles of France when ho published an Interesting volume telling In quaint but charming stylo the mysterious and curious folklore of his native land. About the same time severnl of his dramatic productions were staged at Budapest and attracted much atten tion, not solely because the young mon arch fluished his education in that city, but because of their merit. The new king of Slam knows every movement of the Intricate British and German mllltnry tactics. Ho has mas tered the science of soldiery to tho last letter, for not only has he studied at Sandhurst, but ho has been a cadet at Potsdam and has been attached to tho Durham Light Infantry at Alder fihot. King Chowfa operates a typewriter with the ease of an experienced ste nographer, lie was plensed with the first machine he saw ns a youngster nnd ordered one insdo especially for him with a keyboard of Siamese char acters. Tbo old King Cbulalongkorn was to pleased with the Idea and bo tickled that bis son had caused the Inaugura tion of the Siamese typewriter that he ordered all manuscripts presented at court to be written In this manner. It was not long before the typewrit became much used tn Blara. I - t l ;' i -y: ' '--'- . : ) 6 V A v
