It was thu son of lis host, "Bob," said his father, as they walked on, "is learning this business. Tho oiily Way lo do that is to master the theory in college, and then learn the praclice. as an ordinary workman. It is a common cus tom in our great industrial works. That lad," pointing to another black and greasy workman, "is the son of a bishop, and that one the nephew cfa former presi dent." "The chief diffcrouce that I note he I ween Jou; people and ours," said his guest, "is that Ihc class which is idle with us all work with you. The sot.s of ytur prominent men and millionaires are. busy in professions or io amassing more mil lions. The few exceptions, men who idle, their djys io yachts or who frequent foreign court:, are, I find, looked upon with disfavor here." "Yes," said his bust, "our American creed is that a in no must justify his right to be alive by doing something for his fellowuitn. No amount of wealth will exempt him from that duty. He must give employment to olhers, wriie books, paint pictures or invent something. He must take up some work that will grow and bear fruit, or ba regarded as a fungucs-ao unwholesome growth. It is a libel on our American life to say lh.it the solo motive of its energy is tin making of inuney. The instinct of mutual pro gress prompt ruucb of our activity. Whether the motives arc wise or the abnormal energy is well directed is a question whh.h American buys and girls may answir tor themselves."

I'mler tho coii.pet- itivo system, whrru employeis nro Bcvore, the pressure to drivo workingmeii is ennvspondinijly keen. As a result of this and tho concentration of. wealth and energy certain groat evils grow up. The phases that seem to be most appalling at this stage are tho tendency d increase child labor nnd the insanitary conditions which carry olT many workmen. Another niaiiifestiilion is the enormous number of accidental deaths nnd physical injuries to working peo ple. America is the only country that has not wrestled with that difficult v in tin adequate way. Nearly all European nations hnvo estahlished complete systems of accident, sickness and old ngc.

Wo grow bo accustomed to wotds, pbiusi'f, that they often lose for us a largo part of their significance, even while we use and repeat them thinking we grasp all their meaning. If you do not believe this just lake familiar thought or expression ami my it over slowly lo yourself, searching it for Us inmost uicauing. It will be strange if it does not soon grow lumioous with light of which you had not dreamed, and if you take one by one the words ol which it is composed, you will find each full of hitherto UDgucssed meaning. It is a pity that we live so fast now-a -days that we have no time to take into our consciousness the significance of much more than the surface of things. Thero is such a world of truth and boauly ready at our hands for the taking, could we but pause to look and consider. And what enrichment of our lives would come from even a little looking and consider ing! Mrs. Browning you know tells ua of "Every common bush aflame with God." but as she adds significantly "Only ho who sees takes off his shoos." It is a terrible thing that we should be so blind, blind lo hcvenly vision that we might behold on all sides, in the sky, in the trees and flowers, in tho "sound of gentle stillness" after tho storm, io the faces and lives of those about us, and io the common phrases and expressions of our conversations that have become household words to all. Wo might so greatly ennoble and dignify our lives did we but fed the significance of common things Mary Lome Dickinson in Tht Home Magazine, A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC, CHOL ERA AND DIARRHOEA HEM ED Y CAN DO, "One of our customers, a highly res pected citizen of this place, had been for ten years a sufferer from chronic diar rhoea," writes Walden & Martin, drug gists, of Enterprise, Ala. "He had used various patient preparations and been treated by physicians without any per manent bent lit. A few months ago he commenced taking Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kemedy and in a short lime was entirely cured.

"A fiieud of miue, a Mobile, Aia , physician tells this story of one of his patients, and I have no reason to doubt his veracity," said S. A. Ilankins, of the Southern city, to a Star man at the Arlington. "Dr. Blank had as a patient a young mail who had received a severe cut on his arm; it had healed nicely until it had reached a certain poiut, but then got no belter. Finally the doctor sug gctted ihat ho be allowed to take a piece of skio Iron another part of the body and graft it on the injured aim The t atiect consented and made an appoint ment for the opcralion to bo performed the next morning. At the appointed hour the patient arrived at the office, ac companied by a very charming young woman well known in Mobile society. Tho doctor invited the patient into the operating room, when to hii surprise the young lady accompanied him. Once in side the youog lady asked both men to leave the room for a minute The young man then had an opportunity to tell my friend the doctor Ihat he had informed his fiance what was necessary to heal tho wound and she had insisted upon being allowed to furnish the necessary skin. She thought it would be a very sentimental thing to do, and that when they were married within a few weeks tbey would be actually of one flesh. The doctor consented and took from the arm of the youog woman suffient skin for his purpose. Both wounds healed nicely and neither has a soar to show for it." Washington Star. HE MAN WHO DOES THINGS. DISCOURAGEMENTS AND FAILURE ARE MEANINGLESS NOTH1NU8 TO HIM. Every institution wants him. He is not looking for positions; positions are looking for him. lie does not complain, he acts. He accomplishes results, and these accomplished results, speak more mdly in his favor thin acres of subsidi zed newspapers. What the world wants. the world rewards, is the man who does things. Disci'uragi ment aud failures are meaoinglcss nothings to him; results are the substantial things for which he strives and attains. There is u settled air of as sured success in his: tuanuers uud move ments. There is no trouble in selecting him from a crowd. II o can bo picked out just as ' unerringly as his opposite, who .ihides with disc mrageincnt ond failure, and they leave a more attractive imprint on the countenanoo. Men wl do things io industriil, commercial and financial life arn as scarce as their nppo- sites are plentilul. Opportunities are not scarce, they are plentilul, more plen tiful than ever since history was written. They await the poor boy who does things without looking at the clock. People who are always looking at the clock never amount to much in anything Men who do things never consult the time to bc if they can stop; they know tima "was made lor slaves, not lor virile men who enthusiastically do things. Employes who frequently consult the clock w alwaysbe employes with no hope of ris ing. The man who does things may in his absorption forget his meal or his bed, but his opposite will be ever ready ahead of time for bath or cither.
