STRIVE TO BE MUCH LARGER "Forces That Win," waa the aubjoot of "Billy" Sunday'a sermon at the taber nacle last evening, when he preached specially for young men and women. He poke aa follows: I feel that I am talking to the future through you as a long-distance tele phone. At the time of President MCKInlfys funeral procession this country for five minutes stopped all work. The rail roads, every factory, the machinery of this land stood still; tho banker stopped counting his money; the merchant quit measuring the onmmondltles and left them unmeas ured, tha farmer stopped his plow In the furrow, every student closed bis book for five minutes, and with uncovered heads we ail attempted to pay a mark of respect and tribute to the man. who tried to make this a better nation, and happier men and women, and children. I am glad we did that, thus ahowlng to the people that we did not forget to place a high value on character, al though we eeem at times to ba commer cially daaed and drunk. We stood still long enough to testify to the world that It matters not to what political party a man belongs, If ha tries to make this a better nation and make better homes. I am glad there are a great many periods In our Uvea whan we laugh, and I can recall a good many in my life that I wish I could forget. TOO Yea re blvem McKlaley. Seventy-five million people In the United Mtatea, each giving five mlnutee. would make over 700 years of service rendered MoKlnley. I am glad we did It. I am glad there la a Fourth of July, when we uncoil our enthusiasm and testify to the world that we realise at what oost we laid the foundation of the great eat nation God's eyes ever rested upon. I am glad there ta an Easter to recall Him that burst through the bonde of death; I am glad we havo Christmas to recall Him that was born amidst the malodorous, unwashed beaata In the manger to save us, If we are men and women enough to accept Him. I am glad there la a tabor day to rv.v tribute to the man with the dinner tmcket and calloused hand. I am glad we have a Thanksgiving day, when we all Journey back home and eat turkey and cranberry sauce and rntnoe pie.- As a nation, we can raise enough to feed the world. Listen, you boys, when you go Into the world It takes something more than being a student to make a successful man. But a student Is a tnousana unw bigger than the Qod-forsaken. mutt of a corner loafer who hangs about the bar room drinking all he can and sneering at religion. The girl student Is a bigger woman than the girl who spends all her time seeking after ptsasurea. It la like a girl, when she Is about 17 years of age and bar mother Introduces her . to some young man. She says: "Mamma, mamma, who Is her' When she becomes M and bar mother Intro duces her to some young man, she says: "Mamma, mamma what Is bar But when ahe Is S she says: "Mamma, mamma, tor God's sake, where Is her , Bias Depends am Where Tew Are. Tou know Squire 'ones la Squire Jones In the litis lay-rube town where be lives because everybody In town kelps to mag nify Squire Jones, But bring Squire J one to New Tork and let hire rub elbows with the crowd and be Jostled about. Let him threw beak bis head and look up at the buildings to eount the' atorles. Ton know what happens. He Is Just a unit In the crowd. But at borne he's some pumpkin. It Is like the grasshopper. He sat on a sunflower ana ne Bweuea up wun pride, and he said: "I am the blggeet thing that ever happened, and when I strike the ground it will tremble as from an earthquake.' And be leaped to the ground right In front of a big turkey gobbler. The earth did not tremble, but along name a big fat ban. and she safer to the turkey gobbler: "Did you see a fat-legged grasshopper pass along this way r" And aa the turkey gobbler gulped, he said: "He didn't pass; he stopped." As the grasshopper tried to adjust Itself to the craw of the gobbler to a more comfortable poeltVxv, said: "Hew little and dried up and us si ass I am bare. How big I waa out there, or how big I thought I waa" Tou are big or little, not according to avoirdupois, but according te what you are. rhoolbor Blasjvv Tha a Loafer. How many opportunities to develop yourselves physically and morally and to make good you pees up because you are too laay to do anything except make yourself fit to be one of the crowd. Now, young folk, I want to tell jroa something la the hope that I can Induce you to write your lives In Italic I hold that the boy who goes to school Is bigger than the young lobster that loafs la the streets; amokea cigarettes, goea Into the back door of grog shop and tries to drink the whole bunch under the table. It la blsger to pray than It la to blaspheme; It la bigger to pray than it ta to be that little scoundrel that walks tha streets blaspheming and sneering at religion. It Is bigger to alt In a church than it la to line up with the bunch at some bar with a French plate glass In front. Ws have the greatest nation In the universe, and the greatest opportunities to become something In all the world, and If you can't become something, you are a mutt, a mollycoddle, excess bag gage, and nothing but a mere cipher. This element In us; this hope for some thing barter la nature clearing the ground. That Is why the young man roes west. He la tired of being a molehill and wants to be a mountain. Not to grow up, not to get bigger in to bring on yourself the contempt of those who do grow. Make Toareelf Larger.' Branch out and make yourself larger than you now are in character. A midget in body can be turned Into financial account in a dime museum. Klngllng Bros.' will pay well for a physical monstrosity. A midget In character, and a midget In morals la pitiful A woman once aald to her husband: "William, I dreamed last night that I attended an auctlun and they were selling husbands, and they brought all the way from tuUO to SlO.QUO." "Wife." aald he, "tha fellows that brought 114,000 were like me?" "No, husbands like you sold three bunches for a nickel." A midget In mind, and a midget In character la Ilka a carbuncle, Tou can't look up and admire a runt In mind and a runt In character unless you do it under protest. God said to Gideon: "Grow np a mighty man of valor," He aald to David: "Tou are a man after my own heart," after he had fought and climbed upon th throne. Ood like to see a man leave the cellar and go to the roof garden of life. Now, I'll tell you. The humility that want to alt In tha shade and alp lemonade and fan and aay: "Oh. tt'a so hot," Is leas pleas ing to Him. Peel off your coat, aell It and bur a sword and go out In tho world's strife' snd drive that sword to the hilt In the putrefied and foul-smelling evil of the world. There are not enough men in the world willing to Uke off their coats and fight for Chrlat. But I'll fight for Htm, and I'M fight hell la Omaha If I have to do It alone. But I know Pve got you back of ma They say of a man. be Is dead. Is heT What complaint caused his death T No complaint, they say of him. everybody Is satisfied. Soma people leave the world and all that's left Is their epitaph on the tombstone. Tou have got to have your desire to grow up and develop. Ton have got te feel your need to grow Just like a miser wants money, a politician wants office, and like a hog wants slop. It's a great deal like watering a horse. A raw-necked, pigeon-faced kid. with a stone bruise on each heel, can ride a horse to water, but a college profesaor, with mutton chop whiskers and forty-ntn diplomas can't make a horse drink If be doesn't want to drink. Building schools Is one thing, education another. Christ may have died to save your sins, but If you bare no desire to be saved yon miss Him. Tou muat dealre to do something useful before you can be useful. , ArcoMslUksaeat Follows Dealre. Borne fellow says he will never get mar ried, but when he meets the right girl, when some girl croaaea hla path, he will fall so dead In love with ber that hie heart bone sticks out two Inches abnor mally; some girl with eyes like a raven. hair like 'the midnight, teeth Ilk pearls behind lips of coral.

When a boy drinks, swears, hlanpheme. sneers at religion. It is simply because he Is going with com pany that makes Mm do It or his lobster of a father sweara In bis hearing.

So If yon want to become a rohr, sit alt around and read "TVadshot tlck," "Dead wood Dick" and aturf like that That would make a robber out of any boy. Pluck It While Ripe. A girl was once granted a wish by a genii, who told her to walk through a magio field of corn and pluck the fullest and ripest ear she could find and her wish would be granted. The girl walked through rows of full-earned corn but hesitated to pluck one, hoping to find a "Billy" Sunday Recalls Days He Played Ball Under A. G. Spalding When the newspaper notice of the death in San Diego of A. O. Spalding, the pioneer base ball manager, waa brought to the attot.Uon of Billy Sunday, while he was eating his luncheon at noon, he read It carefully, and then sat still for a moment without a word. "Well, well," he aeld, finolly. "and we Were out there Just a short time ago. It hasn't been more than three weeks, has It?" and he turned to Mrs. Sunday, who waa sitting beside him at the table. "Just three weeks ago," replied "M." 'I played ball with the old Chicago better one further on. As she walked I "bite Sox, continued Mr. Sunday, "when on the ears were less full grown and fl-i Spalding was manager, and a finer man finally ahe came to a row of nuttblna. She scorned to plurk a nubbin and walked on. Soon she was up to her arms in weeds and had plucked no ear of corn. Ko It la here In Omaha. Some of you you have nothing to ahow for It but a few straggling gray hairs, a ragged suit of clothes, a whisky breath and a character murdered long ago. So you have got to have a definite aim In life. If you find a man on top of tha hills never was In the he so ball business. He was a high grade man. And he proved himself a business man as well as a base ball maimer, for be made money. Tou see, I played with the White Box from 1881 to 1S8, and thea I waa aold to Pitts burgh and after that to Philadelphia. I remember one aeaaon we were having a hot race for the pennant, and aome of the fellows were hitting the booze a bit, so Spalding got one of the Pinkertons, in thla world's conflict, you can make up Bl,r ; and told him to watch svery your mind did not light there; he had!1"" on the team and see who waa going to climb.

"Our aviators bombarded the German mlnea and batteries in the forest of Non nenbruck as well aa the railroad station at Luttebach. Furthermore, about thirty wrong. So Plnkerton did hla detective work and turned In hla report a little later and then Spalding didn't know what to do with it, ao he kept it for two or three days before he did anything at all. Then he called the whole team In and read them the report. Every one of ua was shaking In his boots while he read It. but only three of the bunch had been playing loose. They were Mike Kelly, Sliver" Plynt and George Gore. When Spalding had finished reading the report he asked ua what he ahould do about It. " 'How much did It cost you to gt the Information? asked Kelly. " 'One hundred and seventy-five dol lars,' replied Spalding. " Well replied Kelly, 'I think that Flynt and Gore and I ahould be made to foot the bill and ao they were charged up with the amount. "Spalding seemed to be all right when we saw htm last," said Mr. Sunday, ab ruptly changing his point of view. "He was not Just as hs had been, but I thought that It was Just because he waa getting old. It may be that he had had some paralysis, but I don't know about that. He waa very much Interested In a big plot of land near San Diego when we were there. He was going to sell It In town lots, but there were no house built when we saw It. But he didn't need to make any more money. H had enough. I suppose he Just did It to pass the time away. He was always an energetlo man. "I'm very sorry to hear of hla death; he waa a fine man. Tou know he origi nated the reserve rule which gives the employer ot a player the option on the continuation of the player's services, and he did lots of other things.
