The menwho do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-np, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure' inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the .qaallty of 'courage was So absolutely indispensable in the business world as it is today. It does not .matter how many success qualities you pos sess, young' man, if you lack courage you will 'never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substi tute for courage. It does not matter iow well edu-. cated you may be, or how good a train ing you may have" had for your voca-, tion, if yon are, a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on" your judgment, you will never get 'above mediocrity. ' The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there be cause "they have die courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had' the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others. Success Magazine. V -.. IXBJBajaw. , - .-i - . " daBBBjBBBBmaBmamavr' BmaBmamaam. ? - -..

The Power ef Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is one magnet of power. Ton must fire every event with it, touch thoughts and acta with it; it will transmute dross, into gold, drudgery into delight What matters if the soul which lives beside .you is cold and selfish. Set him a good example! Joy is sunshine and he will feel it Every irksome task is a chance for power. For the qualities which they bring out are God's gifts which It us to enjoy better things. Easy things will come, if you have spent your heart's blood on gaining strength, for the very goal of power is the ease which comes from strength. We laugh at things and peo ple who used to cow or annoy us, we do gracefully and swiftly the tasks, once so hard. One by one, we havs unriveted our chains, we are free! Nautilus. Advertised Letters.

Sydney, Australia, has had a nov elty in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsig naled and unannounced. It was peo pled by a strange-looking crowd of men, women and children. The offi cers were dressed in clerical attire long coats and white ties. Nobody was allowed on board save the gov ernment medical officer and the hap bor master. The Sydney reporters ascertained that the ship is connected with the newest American sect, the "Holy Ghost and Us," whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board The Coronet has been cruising for soma months among the Pacific islands. Ratal A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very nervous old lady who complained that she was sun there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep It there, madam," said th captain. "But 'do you like rats?" asked she. Tve got a nest In my cabin," re torted the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious, urged the dame. "No, ma'am,' wound up the captain. Tm not, but the rata are."

AND THE WOMAN INTERFERED. She Wasn't Going to Let Any Flirta tion Go on in Her Presence. "I saw an odd case of interference A-ith other folks business the other day in tho subway," said a young man. "A very pretty and young girl got in a local train on the upper West side. A couple of stations further on, in came a young man who sat where be could see the girl. "She was good to look at, too. He saught her eye and apparently held her attention. Maybe it wasn't just the right thing for her to do, but after a time she moved her head and obvious ly tried to smother a smile. "The young chap wasn't a bit back' ward and before the tram got much further along he was sitting in the cross seat with the girl and chatting. "There was a middle-aged woman in the car who apparently had watched the whole affair Just as I had. The car was practically empty and the others in it were reading newspapers and hadn't paid attention to what was going on. "First thing I knew the woman changed from one of the lengthwise seats and took her place in the very cross seat where the two were sitting. They didn't notice her until she leaned over and said something to the girl. 1 could just imagine from her looks that she was asking: 'Do you know this young man?' "The young girl flushed up, looked three times as pretty and the woman kept on talking and looking stern.. "The upshot of it was that the young fellow got out at the next sta tion, apparently to hide his embarrass ment, and the girl stayed where. she was. "After she'd broken up the little party the woman moved out of the seat and back to where she was before It made me a little sore and I felt like asking her what business it was of hers. But then again it wasn't my business, either, so I didn't" N. Y. Sun. Took Precautions. "You ran into this maa at SO miles an hour and knocked him 40 feet," said the court ."That, er a little better, I suppose," answered the chauffeur. "Why didn't yoa slow down?"

Success Never to Be Counted in Piles of Dollars. What an unfortunate thing that the idea should be dinned into the ear of yout everywhere that it is a disgrace to fail that is, to fail to make money, to accumulate property. It is not a disgrace to fail; but it is a disgrace not to do one's level best to succeed. "Not failure, but low aim is crime." Multitudes of poor people to-day who are not known outside of their own little communities are really great'successes when measured by all that makes true greatness their heroic endeavors, their brave battle for years with obstacles, playing a losing game with heroism. Their great patience and wonderful self-control under the criticism of those who do not understand them are evidence that they have succeeded. The pos session of a noble "-character is the greatest evidence In the world that one has succeeded. On the other hand, if a man has gotten a fortune, but has left his man hood on the way to it; if he has bar tered his good name Jn the process of getting it, be is still a failure, no mat ter how much money he may have accumulated. A clean record Is the greatest kind of a success. And how few men who make big fortunes manage to save their good name, to keep their record clean! Success Magazine. Idleness. It is no more possible for an idle man to keep together a certain stock of knowledge than it Is possible to keep together a stock of ice exposed to the meridian, sun. Every day de stroys a fact, a relation, or an influ ence; and the only method of pre serving the bulk and value of the pile is by constantly adding to it Sidney Smith. A Despicable Wretch. "That man has no conscience." "Why do you think so?" "He cheated me fearfully in a horse trade in which I supposed I. was easily getting the better end of the bargain.' A Flat Child. "1 was a flat child," he said. "I wa born and brought up in a New York flat. I have never known what it Is to live anywhere else." She looked him over. He was six feet two in his stocking feet and broad in proportion. He not only filled the chair he sat in, but he seemed in his great health and strength and bigness to fill the flat. K "Yon are not like those little flat dogs, are you?" she said. "Those lit tie long dogs that are born under 9 chiffonier to fit a flat,, those Dachs hunds?" The Japanese Baby. The first name is given to him with, great ceremony when he Is a month old; at 15 he is considered grown up, assumes the responsibility of a man and takes a new name. Entering up on public duties he ' takes another , name, which is changed with every v3tep in life: if his superior officer has the same name he happens to have at that time he must change it again; he must also change it when he marries, and when he dies it Is changed' for the last time and inscribed upon his tomb. --Home Notes. Extreme Carefulness. "Ribson is the most careful man I ever met." "Indeed!" "Yes. The evening he was married he requested his best man to carry the ring, and then asked him for a receipt for it" Jimmy's Grievance. After Jimmy had attended school a few days he begged to stay at home. "Because," said he, "teacher says we mustn't talk and I'm so tired of whispering!" Mixed Population. , The most mixed population In the world Is probably that of British Gui ana. There is admixture of French, Dutch, Spanish, British, coolie and In dian blood. A Sign. When people begin to take the trouble to tell other people that the value of your work is overestimated it is a sign that you are succeeding. . X, -aw v' . c s- ' ',r4srJv' ' v -.jt" v !? "" BBBBV?
