There ore very few ocean
ioiis in life that cnll for hnr-
ry. Perhaps no om mnn
confront" in hid whole career
more than two or three emer
gencies that nail for instant
action. It requires thp gen
iu8 of insight and courage to
deal with those But in the
tust majority of instances
we make a fatal mistake
Vihvn we suffer the ardency
of others, oranapporentcris-
is, to lend ue into a conrse of
action that tins not been ron
e i d e r e d. It is wonderful
what a capacity things that
we consider urgent have for
"keeping,'' if one is only nelf
contnined and patient e
nongh to iet them "keep."
One of the 2mo8t successful
business men we have tver
known was famou? for his re
fusal to give immediate de
risions upon important qnes
tiong. He said to those who
rrged him that he had "to
sleep over" things before he
made np his mind. That
did not mean that he took
them home to worry about
them, nut, that pe let them
lie in his mird and germinate
before he would decide just
what he would do. At least,
he gained the advantage of
looking tit the mntter from
several different points of
view. And the point of view
frequently changes the whole
aspect of a situation. The
men who'are in such a'drive'
and hurry that they mnst
make up their minds "right
away" turn up with unusual
frequeney'rn the bankruptcy
courts. There is nothing
lost by following thej sound
maxim. "If you don't know
what to 'do, do nothing".

. Poor Spain is ir. a bad con
dition. Notwithstanding the
praises showered upon her
by the Catholic press of this
country, she is the last and
pitiful representative among
prominent countries that
stood by the pope. What is
the matter with Spain? The
government is a failure at
home and in its colonies. Mar
rowneRs, religions bigotry, ab
solutism and illiteracy have
cursed the people. When oth
er countries wee undergoit g
the new birth of reformation
in ffovcrnnsent aud religion,
the pope was god -and king
to poor Spnin, and now the
end is inevitable. TheGubans
nre gaining ground daily.
Victory is not fully assured,
but it draws nigher.-Central
