Taking a crayon he wrote across the face of . the ' canvas the single word "Amplius" larger. When the young fellow awoke he grasped his . master's idea and as he realized how cramped had been the vision of his work, he received a new inspiration, and later he became one of the world's greatest painters. As Jesus Christ looks into every mans life, He writes across it the word "larger" fuller. He himself said : "L am come that ye might have life, and that ye might have it more abundantly."

THE PATTERNMAKER'S RULE. Mail to Go by Tunnel. The new underground electric rail way mail service at Chicago was put into actual operation for the first time July 16. The mail is hereafter to be transported through the tunnel which has been constructed beneath the city streets, from the postofflce to the ma jority of the depots in the city. CAPITAL' AUXILIARY. Rev. Charles Stelzle's Weekly Letter Contains Some Telling Points. I my cnum was an apprentice in tne pattern shop. Sometimes I would eat my lunch with him, and then together we roamed about the shop, studying the new machines as well as the old ones. But one of the things that strongly impressed me was his own set of "shrinkage" rules. I discovered for the first time, that every pattern was made larger than the mould was intended to be, because when that pat tern was put .into the sand, and the mould was cast, the catsing came out smaller than the pattern, because of the shrinkage in the cooling metal. For cast iron the rule was made an eighth of an inch larger to the foot, for brass, three-sixteenths, and for steel, one quarter of an inch. But so our models and our ideals always suffer in the work of embodi ment. Beethoven tells us that his beautiful symphony is but an empty echo of the heavenly music he heard in his dream. It lost its divinest charm when he transferred it to manuscript. . And yet Emerson says: "Hitch your wagon to a star." It may be easier to build castles in the air than to con struct huts upon the ground, but the man who never has a vision cannot even build a huit that will really be worth while. The dreamer has ; his place in the world's work, for every machine and every great enterprise was dreamed out before it was worked out. But dreaming and doing must go together. Each by Itself alone 'makes man either a drone or a drudge.' , Especially should the intensely prac tical man that "hard-headed" fellow learn to centre his thoughts on things that are not always to be found in the work-a-day world., It will give him a broader outlook, and it will round off some of these sharp corners that sometimes irritate his fellows. That pattern maker's shrinkage rule taught me that if my life was to square itself with the plans laid out for me by God, so that it would harmonize and fit in with other worthy lives and plans, my ideal as to what I should be and do must be higher and better than the average, for tose ideals would suf fer grievously when transmitted into practical every-day living. If my ideals were higher than the average, perhaps I would make a pretty good, ordinary sort of a fellow. Ac art student once fell asleep over the task given him by his master. As The red stickers are being used freely of late. We find several of the merchants of our city are giving adver tising to a man who not only neglects . the label, but takes the work out of our city. , ,' , The "Special Offer" cards sent out by the Butterick Publishing company have been returned by many of our . members and those who have failed to do so are neglecting their duty. The committee in charge of the so cial for Friday, July 27, when the fa mous Peake Sisters will appear, . are working to make this a record-breaker in the hope No. 209 will appreciate our efforts to entertain them, as well as help them in boosting the label.

WILL BUSTARD. LOOK FOR THE BUTTON! Union Street Railway Men of Lincoln Now Wearing Them.; The union buttons of the Motormen's and Conductors' Union are now in evi dence in Lincoln. They bear the fac simile of a trolley car and the name of the current ; month. They look mighty good on the coat lapels of the men who have been enterprising and farsighted enough to get together in organization for their own benefit. The only trouble so far is that there are not enough of them. -. A lot of the men are hanging back. They 'can not see the good in joining an organization and paying ' a paltry sum every month as dues. ; They pre fer to keep that 50 or 60 cents in their pockets and remaining at the mercy of the employer. Some of tiem are op posing the organization because they think it makes them solid with the management of the company. . In other words they are "snitching." , Whenever you see a union button on a street car man, "give him the signal of union fellowship. Ride on ' cars manned by union men, and if you can't do that, walk down town for your health. Let the unionists of Lincoln give the union street railway men every encouragement poslsble. . ; .y . $1 r Trust Sued for Damages, r . .,.
