It may be that we think that we do aaa It while we are really gating upon a mirage. Hope al ways tells a flattering tale and Is ready to be the father of thoughts. Imagination la akin to faith, but requires no teal basis If our op timistic outlook is warranted It la as because wa cam believe la a prosperity that la to be real be ceoee it will be the product and the poaaesslon of uo all, AClTlUcatlon la the sum of co-op 'Sratlva Intelligence. All the capital ta the world could not mine coal without miners, end all the miaera la the world could net do It with out capital. Idle wealth baa proved no more than accumulated useless aaae ta eastern countries; men have starved to death la the mldat 9f vest hat unappreciated natural resources.

When the aw cannot navigate the ship , there la ne? advantage In killing the captain. It Isn't necessary to have tyranny In order to have a captain, bat society and business must have leaders and governors, and there cannot be two captains oa any ship. f After all, men hardly aspect te pass for more than they are worth. The teal kick In oar democracy Is against false differences. Ours Is the land of ? fair chance. It is the home of opportunity. No crust kasps merit down. In an Inter change of values every one here has had and must have a chadce to make the most of himself AIn doing this he will need end 'nee his fellows. No one ever sue- s ceeded yet In being great or pros perous ae a hermit We climb up upon each other. It takes us all to make and to keep ctvlllaatlon. A man owes himself and his fortune t to society in a very large degree. Are we not all members of a great and wealthy body politic, wherein no one can live to himself or die srlthout lose te the rest? A Let a dosen men, each man ow ning his neighbor Ave dollars, sit In a circle. Let one of these take a live-dollar bill from his pocket and pay his debt to the man next to him. Let this man pay his neigh bor and the next man pay his until the bill shatl have gone round the circle mnd returned to the man who started It on Its round. This man may return the bill to Ma pocket with the happy consdoue new that he has paid Ma debt and also received what was due him, and that every other man In the group has the same satisfaction. But if the first man had not started the bill going there would have been no such results. He would then have Illustrated It use Is, In stead of America. fThe secret of civilisation la the irculatlon of ability. It ts the secret of prosperity. Let every man circulate his worth to sodoty, so shall there be a true commun ism. also a true capitalism. There lo a conundrum which asks why om should prefer a dollar bill to a gold dollar. Tho answer Is. "Be came* whoa yen put It Into yonr pecks* yen double It and when you toko It out you find It In cresses." Prosperity progresses as we pees oe whet we are and have A TIMELY RESOLUTION "Ralph."

Bach of ua has Ma own special temptation, and, once we real ise the form own takes, the way Baa straight before ua. Ifa the fashion to emlle at New Year resolution*, go often made only to be broken; but they are a definite help If we make them firmly intending to keep them! They win only weaken us if we throw them to a troublesome conscience merely as a top something to keep It quiet for the time, until It i goes to sleep again. Presiding that ' they be sufficiently elastic to change their form when there to reasonable cause, rules fence in duties that might m neglected and knap them la tha forefront of oar minds. Bat to multi ply rule# la a bit mistake, for that* Is mm which, faithfully kCpt, win maka as both hired ng and blessed. The Bale of Lore. Just loving oar neighbor as wo tors ouroelvee; carving htm. trusting him, hoping for him. Refraining'wen under grave provoca tion from saying what would sting If ho said it to as; forgiving him as wo ivoald be forgiven; considering him as ws would be considered; helping him when he needs It with the thoughtful delicacy which makes help acceptable Instead of humbling; respecting his weakness, his prejudice, his Infirmity | laughing with him Instead of at him; and, should there come a time when sincerity deminds, we should say what we know will not please him. fkklag care to blend truth with charity. All the "little" rules we make for ouroe|veo come Into line with this one. The Rule of Order?oh, how many New Tears have we not begun with the resolution that we would not leavo our things about, nor lose them, nor hide them away) For we cannot be untidy all to ourselves any more than we can be 111 tempered and not spoil ' someone else's pleasure; and nothing Is more upsetting to already wearied brains than the fuss and worry of hunting for things which should bo ready to hand. The Rule of Punctil iousness In little things, that famous "oiler of the wheels of life," will make us both polite and punctual, aa we must be If we would bo pleasant te work with (Jndgtpg other people's preferences by our own!J The Rule of Gettlng-Up-In-Tlme (this almost deserves all capitals!) means, If kept, a great deal more than our own con veniences, since everything we do or leave undone Is bound to react en our neighbors. And even If we often fell te keep, even fitfully, the golden rale which enjoins us te love them as ourselyet, every effort we make in this direction brings Its own reward, here and now. As we grow Into the habit of tbluklng of people kindly we cease to be an noyed at their peculiarities, and create an atmosphere of good feel lag tu which they cease to bo annoyed at outs. Wo must always ismambn that the bearing and 'orbenring Is not needed on our side alene?sa Thames a Kampis said long ago, when wo find ?ur neighbor dlftarit te put up with, ww may bo sura that bo finds It aguelly diAeult to pwt up with as.
