The world takes us at our own valuation as a rule, and unless we are deluded by an exaggerated self-esteem it will accept us on our own estimate. Do not be afraid to voice your own value, providing you can "make good" or any promises or statements you may make. The idea that a timid, re tiring manner succeeds either in social or business life is erroneous. Without boasting, give full credit to your possibilities and accom plishments, else you cannot expect others to do so. The biggest, the most irremedi able mistake made by women, or men, for the mailer of fad, is the one of assuming a false modesty regarding their work. Underesti illation of lite work of others is the natural tendency of mankind. To concur in this opinion is to put your efforts and accomplishments on the toboggan that leads to the land of oblivion. If you can bake a delicious cake, say so, and back up the declaration with the cake. If you are an ex peri typewriter, tell your prospec tive employer about it. Do not lag behind a non-committal, "1 think 1 can please you." Such colorless phrases are the language of the mediocre; but never by any chance are ihcy lound in the con versation of the aggressive, push ing, positive party traveling on the limited to whatever point he desires to reach. Send two women .out 10 sell copies of the same book. The one with the faculty of holding up the good points of the volume, telling ihe interest of the story, the excel lence of the binding, the profit to be derived horn reading it, will re turn with empty hands and full pocket book, while the "1 think" woman w ill come dragging in her self and the books; yet the intrinsic value of the books were identical. It is w hat you know and what you make oilier folks know tluit counts ; in the great game of getting on ! Selected. It we but knew how much the word we say Will cloud and darken some one's cheerful day, Perhaps we'd not be hasty and hold back The thought that leaves such burning in its track, The cruel suspicion or the biting jest Thai fills a heart with sorrow in some breast. If we but knew how much of cheer 'twould be ' To say some word with touch of sympathy, Perhaps we'd be more gracious and benign, And thus give back those gifts to us divine Of wholesome sweetness meant for us to share With others burdened with o'erwhclming care. If we but knew how much our little aid Would save a life bad habit would degrade, Perhaps we'd be more active in desire To stay the utter and consuming fire From reaching greedily toward some soul Too weak itself for mastery and control. If we but knew how much neglect can do To darken lives to whieh we should be true, Perhaps we'd be more faithful in our trust To lift life up, as blooms lift from the dust, And fill wiih love the frail and fading flower Thai looks and waits and hungers for our power. ON STORMY GALILEE. Daik the gloomy night had fallen over stormy Galilee, And the straining ships wave-driven by the wild tempestuous sea, Till it seemed no power could save them from a darksome, wai'ry grave, When they see the Master coming, walking lightly on the wave. All the weary night they've labored, toiling at the bending oar; Hut the star of hope has vanished they can never reach the shore. Then they hear the voice of Jesus, "Fear ye not, I've power to save; And they see the Master coming, walking lightly on the wave. When the sun forgets his shining, when the powers of earth areshak'n, When the rolling heaven shall vanish and earth's mighty ones are tak'n; When earth's millions past and present 'round the throne of God shall crowd We shall see the Master coming, riding swiftly on the cloud. The Whole World Bows to Him Who Is Determined to Win. The way to fail in life is to never be ready when opportunity smash-; es through the front door and cries, j "Come out!" The way to succeed , is (o go out and capture opportu- j nity before it gels near the door; and shouts, "Come in." The bat-' tic may be hard. But i" ilierc were ' no difficulties there would be no ' successes, if there were nothing to struggle for there would be notli- j ing to be achieved. Those men j who have awakened some line ! morning to find themselves great, j have awakened, you must remem ber, hundreds of previous morn ings to begin a hard and wearying struggle. "I'll be what I want to be,"i said Waller Scott, and he w as, al though the instructors of his youth pronounced him the biggest dunce in school. I le achieved by strug gle. The dunce cap never held ; any one on the bottom who was i determined. Napoleon and Wei-1 lington were dull boys but a deter mination made them great. Jay Gould was laughed at when a boy, but he made his way and began by peddling rat traps. Sir Isaac Newton was at the bottom of his class when he was a boy, but be fore death came to him, he had struggled to a high point in philos--ophy. Determination; not the kind of a job, but the man behind the job, meeting adversity square. The pathway of life may Appear to turn back at intervals and grow dim, but the steady creeping Be Happy! Happy Hie girl, or woman, who has never Buffered from any of the diseases of womanhoodl Or, if she has been a sufferer, happy is she if she has learned of the wonderful benefits of Cardui, the woman's tonic! Cardul Is a gentle, tunic remedy, for women's ailments. It Is a natural medicine safe, harmless, purely vegetable. It has been in successful uss for more than 50 years. It has cured thousands.

I used it with the very best results. 1 had backache and nearly everything a woman could suffer with, until I look Cardui. Now, I feel better than I have for two years. I shall always recommend Cardui to other suffering women. I can't praise it too highly. As a medicine for weak, tired, worn-out women, Cardui Is safe and reliable. Try It, today.

"The late John Arbuckle, "Cof fee King Arbuckle,' " said a coffee broker, "was very charitable, but he administered his charity with rare delicacy. " 'Coffee King Arbuckle' used to assert that the poor was as sen sitive as the rich, and he would il lustrate this assertion with an apt anecdote. "One of his anecdotes was about a rich woman who, while calling on a pour woman, in a slum, said: "Does your husband drink?" "No'i.i," said the slum woiwtfl, quieily; "doesyours?"--New York Tribune. And there are people who never arrive at a conclusion until the undertaker is ready to take their incisure. SWIiETCilKLORADUATfi. Observe the noble girl who has completed her college education. See her, with her dimpled chin resting in the hollow of her white palm, gazing out into ihe future with thoughtful eyes. What problems may she now be solving? What mighty movements for ihe uplifting of the race may she be planning? Back of her are the years of stu dy and application. The great minds of the centuries have given her of their best. All that science and philosophy can call from the universe of mind and matter is hers. And now she is ready for the future. There is a hopeful gleam, a confident light in her eyes. She speaks: "Some of those back numbers at home will sit up and take notice when I get off' the train in this new panther skirt suit of mine!" REVIEW OF THE YEAR. TEARS. The River Of Tears Hows Always Ml: WAS A DAISY. James A. Patten, at a dinner in Chicago, advocated temperance ardently. "Hereafter I shall help the Pro hibition movement all 1 can." said the noted financier. "Drink is an evil that takes an incredible hold on iis victims. For instance" Mr. Patien smiled. "A temperance lecturer," he said, "once displayed to his audi dienee two geraniums. The first watered in the usual way, was a beautiful and vigorous plant. But the other had been dosed with al cohol, and its foliage was shriveled and sparse, its stem twisted and its vitality decayed. " 'Now, ladies and gentlemen,' cried the lecturer, "what can you say to a demonstration such as this?' " 'It's all right, and if I were a geranium,' said a shabby man in the gallery, 'I'd stick to water ex clusively, but I am not a gera nium.'

In terms of human misery it is worse for one member of the fam ily lo be saved, in such a Hood as Galveston's, than for the whole family to be swept away.
