EMILY GUIWITS "O if I could only win that $5.00 for the 'Times' contest story," said Helen Perry to herself, as she slowly walked up Dodge street toward her boarding place. "If only my brains could adjust themselves to something besides adding up columns of figures in a poky old store. If I could only write one quar ter as much as I feel like Mrs. Peattie, for example. I'm sure nobody can ap preciate the beauties of nature and of art and music more intensely than 1 do. Now the glorious sunshine this morning the singing birds the fresh, green grass the little leaves coming out on the trees, all these filled my soul with an ecstacy which was ab solutely beyond expression. And at Mr. Butler's last organ recital I thought I would actually stop breathing from the very beauty of the music that Chopin Funeral March in particular, where it seemed as if every note was a tear-drop falling into my beating heart. Yet how could I express my emotion in a form that would hold people's attention or bring in a five dollar bill? Everybody knows that grass is green, that sun shine is golden, that spring is tho time for life and for hopefulness. And every body knows that Mr. Butler is a master of the organ, and that Chopin's music is far more expressive than the tenderest words ever spoken. 0, if I only had an idea that was new and original and startling, how fast I would write it down, and how happy I would be if I won the five dollars." Helen had now reached the house, and after giving a dash of cold water to her tired eyes she went into the dining room where a dozen young men and women were doing justice to the eve ning meal. "No, I don't care to go to the theatre tonight," she said to one of tho young men who followed her out into the hall to give her the invitation. "You are very kind to ask me, but I want to dip into a book that I brought from the library today, and I'm too tired and cross to be good company for any one tonight, any way." Wearily she mounted the stairs and put on her dainty dressing jacket, then drew her chair close to the lamp and with a sigh of satisfaction began to read "In Tune with the Infinite," by Ralph Waldo Trine. Eight, nine and ten chimed from the clock on the high flchool building, but Helen heeded it not. "O if it only could be true," she said to herself again as she read how a difficult literary problem had been work ed out by a journalist in her sleep. "But Mr. Trine says that anything is possible to one who believes that he really will have the things he desires. Surely it could do no harm to have a pencil and paper ready to write down any brilliant ideas that may come to me in the morning, and it's more than time for me to go to bed, any way." Hardly had Helen's head touched the pillow when she was wrapped in a sleep so profound that the morning sunlight was streaming into her window when she opened her eyes. "O what a wonderful story!" she thought, as her mind lingered over the fast-fading dreams of the night. "If I only could write it down and I verily believe I can!'' She seized paper and pencil, and page after page was flung away from her swiftly moving hand. "There; it goes, any way," she said as she folJed the paper and placed it in an envelope ad dressed to the "Times." "I'll be late to the store this morning but never mind, it won't happen again, and then I may win the five dollars!" Day after day came and went, until finally one evening Helen found a com munication from the "Times" editor stating that her story had won the prize and would appear in the following Sat urday's issue. "And yet there are peo ple who never believe in dreams!" she said to herself as she danced joyfully around her little room. TOO MUCH RUSHING. Considering the recent close of the school year and the intense heat, the National Educational association should be satisfied if the attendance at the Detroit meeting was not so large as on former occasions, These great assem blies and conventions come far too oft en. If the Epworth Leagues, Christian Endeavor societies and educational, scientific and other associations would hold their district meetings twice a year, their state meetings once a year and their national meetings once in three or five years, every desirable end would be served, and the energy, time and money expended in racing across the continent would do better service when used in promoting the causes for which these societies are supposed to exist. The boom-spirit and the pro moter do harm enough in the commer cial world without being allowed to invade our religious and intellectual lite. Human nature has its limitations, and the American people do not need stir ring up half bo much as they need quiet and thinking time and the opportunity to consider and perform the duty that lies nearest to them. The feverish rushing from one ex treme to tne other, which is one of our national characteristics, finds its in evitable result in the superficiality of our high school and college courses. A majority of the students 'try to crowd the work of four years into two or three; a smattering of various subjects is all that can possibly be secured, with no time to devote to the beauties of nature or to the human beings with whom they are associated. Trained in this way to the habit of appropriation of all things in sight for personal use, the instincts of charity and of generoeit) are stifled, SOUTKIia.

"Man's inhumani ty to man makes countless thousands mourn," and this inhumanity ia a direct result of tho spirit of personal greed which exists in embryo form in every human being, and which is abnormally developed by the conditions surround ing the youth of the present centurj'. American Wheelmen.
