THE -Oth CENTURY BOY
So live that your afterself— the man
you ouc«it to l>e—may lu his time be
pei««.le and actual. For away tn the,
twtitles, tlio thirt>s, of the twentieth
century he is awaiting his turn. His
body, his brain, hu soul, are In your
boyish bands. He cannot help him
self.
What will you Imtp for him? Will
it be a brain nnspoiled by wrong lir
lng or dissipation, a mind trained to
think aud act. a nervous system true
as a dial lu Its resj>onse to the truth
about you?
Will you, boy of the twentieth cen
tury. let him come as a man among
men In hi* time, or will you throw
away his Inheritance before be has had
the chance to touch It?
Will you let him come, taking your
place, gaining through your experience,
hallowed through your joys, building
on them his own. or will you fling his
hoi>e aivay, decreeing wantoniik# that
the man you might hare been shall
never be?—I>avid Starr Jordan.
MENTAL EXERCISE
As our bodies, to be in health, must
be generally exercied. so onr viluds.
to be in health. must be generally cnl
tivared. Von would not call a man
healthy who had strong arms, but was
paralytic in his feet: nor one who could
walk well, b'lt had no use of bis bauds;
nor one who could see well, though
he could not hear. You would not vol
untarily redu'-e your bodies to any
such partially d >ve!oj>od state. Much
more, then, y u would i>"t. if you could
help it. reduce your minds to It. Now,
your minds ere endowed with a vast
number of iri'ts of totally different
uses—limbs of mini. as it were, which
if you don't e::erci»o you cripple. One
is curiosity—that is, a gift. u capacity
of pleasure i:i knowing. • hich if you
destroy yon mal:e yourselves no!d and
dull. Another Is sympirhy— the power
of sharing in the feelings of living
creatures, which If you destroy you
make yourselves hard and cruel. An
other of your liml>s of mind is admira
tlon—the power of enjoying beauty or
ingenuity, which if you destroy you
make yourselves base and irreverent
Another Is wit or the power of playln.*
with the lights on th? many sidoa of
truth, which if you destroy you make
yourselves gloomy and less useful and
cheering to others than you might be
So that iu choosing your way of work
it should be your aim. as far as possl
ble. to bring out all those faculties a?
far as they exist in you; not one merit
nor another, but all of them.—Ruskln
Two Foes.
Two well known but unheeded facts
are that anxiety is no baker and bakes
no bread; that worry is no tailor and
makes no clothes.
Saving.
Some women formed a resolution to
do something about the high cost of
living. "Something," they insisted,
with lofty courage, "that will count!"
Accordingly they banded together
and so perfected themselves in the art
of making up their minds that whereas
It had hitherto taken a salesgirl an
average of two hours to sell a yard of
ribbon she could now turn the trick In
twenty minutes flat. *
The economic saving, of course, was
In the aggregate enormous, making it
self felt all down the line.—New York

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
Fill Whatever Job You Hold to th»
Bast of Your Ability.
"In climbing the ladder of success
what have you leu me J that you could
pass on as aid to other struggling
young men?" 1 asked H. P. Davison of
J. P. Morgan & Co. "Did you conceive
any ohlnlng goal and bend everything
to getting there?"
"No," he replied emphatically. "What
ever Job I had was to me always the
Yery best Job In the world, and I tried
to fill it. I made 110 elaborate plans
for the future. If I had an; system In
my labor It was first, to do my own
work; second, to teach the fellow be
low me how to take my place; third, to
learn how to fill tho position ahead of
me.
"Boys and young men should not Im
agine that their work is so Unimpor
tant that nobody takes note of how
they do it It does not take long to
find out whether a boy is on his toes
watching how he can best be of help in
a situation or whether he merely sits
down and waits to be told what to do.
Tho simple virtues of willingness, read
iness, alertness and courtesy will carry
a boy farther than mere smartness.
"Perhaps It will not be out of place
for me to describe an Incident which
may carry a lesson for the young men
you are anxious to help. One day
when I was teller a customer offered
me a very fine gold pen. I went right
Into the office and asked If this man
had any loan from the bank. I ex
plained that he had asked me to accept
the gift. The bank promptly acted,
and It was not long before the fallow
was In bankruptcy. The simple course
I took saved the bank a good deal of
money."—B. C. Forbes In Leslie's.

Two or three years ago the Nomad
was driving a livery nag oa a road In
Vermont, when the animal suddenly
began to limp terribly; couldn't go off
a slow walk. It was pretty serious,
for a Journey of about twenty miles
had Just been begun. Knowing a man
on the road who was a practical horse
man, the Nomad drove up to his door
and submitted the animal to the ex
i pert's examination. The man looked at
I the horse's feet, examined his legs—
looked him over thoroughly. "Did the
I horse go all right when you started
I out?" he asked. Yes; the horse had
| gone all rl^'ht for three or four miles,
j "Well," said the expert, "this horse Is
j shamming; there Is nothing the matter
with him."
I Then he addressed some plain lan
guage to Dobbin, advising him with
J some sharpness to cut It all out and go
! along as he ought to. The Nomad
touched the horse with the whip, and
I he trotted on to the end of the Journey
without the slightest limp/—Nomad in

Swearing on the BIbla.
The method of swearing by the Bible
came Into use at a very early period,
practically with the establishment of
courts of law In Christian countries.
It was the ordinary method of swear
ing when America was settled by Eu
ropeans and was naturally adopted
here. Oaths were common before the
Christian era, and any form may be
used that conforms to the religious be
lief of the iierson to be sworn. He
brews are often sworn on the Penta
teuch, keeping on their hats, and their
oath ends with the words, "So help me.
Jehovah." A Mohammedan Is sworn on
the Koran.—Philadelphia Press.
He Mads the Salo.
"Yes. the property Is cheap enougli.
Why do you want to sell It?"
"You won't give me away?"
"No."
"Well, sir. It's because I'm the only
man In this neighborhood that doesn't
move tn high society, and I'm lone
some."—Chicago Tribune
Sample.
"George didn't keep his engagement
with me last night," said the girl who
was betrothed to him.
"I'd give him a piece of my mind,"
said her mother.
"Just a little sample of married life,"
suggested father.—Cleveland Leader.
A Biting Sentiment.
You have to be careful even about
paying compliments. Bill Mixer, who
used to write ads. for a tobacco house,
got himself in bad when he started
writing copy for a butter concern and
wrote "Guaranteed not to bite the
tongue."—Boston Globe.
A Real Autocrat.
"Here's the photograph of a famous
maltre d'hotel. He has a stern and
haughty look."
"Hasn't he, though? I dare say that
fellow wouldn't unbend for any tip less
than a $100 bill."—Birmingham Age
Herald.
Car on the Brain.
"Do you know how to handle an
emergency?"
"Is that going to be one of the new
makes?"—Baltimore American.
