C3 Chi-alwn, M. C By Rev. Worth M. Tippy, D. D., Pastor Madison Avenue Meth odist Church, New York, In New York Herald. "All things are possible to him that believeth," said Jesus; by which He meant to say that men can become what they desire to become and accomplish what they really want to accomplish. If a man has common sense his vision, plus his courage and determina tion, is the measure of his power. A well known traveler had just completed an address on Africa. Admirers from the audience were crowding about him, when a white- faced, poorly clad boy with eager face pressed forward and said, "I am going there some day." 'Isn't that pathetic," a bystand er whispered. "No," answered the traveler, it is divine." "But you surely don't believe he can do it !" exclaimed the by stander in astonishment. "1 am not sure," replied the great man. It depends upon the strength of his hope." Twenty-five years afterward the boy was in Africa, himself an explorer. Hide away a great hope in your heart. Let it be as great as the best is in you. Let its roots strike deep into your being. Let it blos som into cheer and faith and in domnitable purpose. Lift it up to God, for the highest work is never done without Him. You are a young man and your supreme desire is for an educa tion. You are a young woman with ambitions and strength for a man's task but with a woman's handicap. You are a politician, in the best sense of the word, with the public good at heart, and you would enter the ranks of the men who do bat tle for the people. You would be a skilled mechan ic, a capable business man, a min ister, a lawyer, a doctor, a teacher, a technical man, a newspaper man. Hide away the hope in your heart. It will become an increasingly powerful suggestion, working day and night, sirengiheningyour pur poses, cheering your dark hours, holding you to persistent effort. It will awaken powers lying back in the subconscious mind, powers of which you do not dream. You will become not the ordina ry man who is born, lives and dies, but an inspired man with a con sciousness of a victory unconsum- mated, to whom every buffet of fortune serves but to discipline and enrich the life. And then some day you will see the fulfillment of the hope you had hidden away. But should it never come to pass in just the way you wished you will have grown to the size of your hope, and from a higher plane, with a truer perspec tive, you will look out upon life, doing your work manfully and understanding the struggles, the defeats and the victories of other men. A girl who hesitates may not be lost, but she is apt to become a spinster. o gi is X T 7 A BA.

COD'S CHOSE SINGER. RY LOUISA J. HITCH, PORT NORFOLK, VA THE LOVE WEOWh TO WOMEN. The Irwe we owe to women for all we have and are: Our strength when we are tempted, our trust and guiding star, Our wives our mothers, sisters, all wonder ana ail awe To these whose worth sustain us, our doctrine and our law ! The love we owe to women for all we dream to be, For all we've striven to master, for all we've tried to see. Our sweethearts, and our cousins, our guides to manhood s best, Our source of zeal and purpose, our will, our strength, our zest I The love we owe to women for all we've known or know, Our courage in the conflict, our shielders from the blow, Our silencers of haired, our light, our trust, our truth, In whom we find our solace, from whom we draw our youth ! The love we owe to women and how shall we repay ? Men in a world of mischief, poor creatures of this clay. How shall we rise to measure to all that they have meant Above us in their splendor of love and courage bent ! The love we owe to women no petty debt and poor; For all we are or may be, to worship and adore; For all our dreams advancing, our hopes that burn and rise, To them life's pure devotion these stars that light our skies ! These sisters of sorrow, and bearers of our cross, The same today, tomorrow, in triumph or in loss. These strong tides in our weakness, to hold us true through life To all that makes us noble, these sweeteners of our strife I Rurlino-ton, Wis.

The many convincing testimonials con' stantly published in the newspapers ought to be proof enough to women who suffer from those distressing Ills pecu liar to their sex that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the medicine they need.

When He who fashioned sun, and ninon, and stars, And set the planets in their separate spheres, And ruled the eanh majestic, couniless years E're ever man was blessed with length of days, Bethought to make some creature sing His praise. He took the glory of the coming dawn, The beauty of the first glad day in spring, The strengih and steadfastness of everything That goes to make the hills and rocks endure. And these He wrought into a song so pure That He was pleased, and gave it unto one, And to this chosen singer of His song said "Go," Sing thou my praise that all mankind may know That I am God, and knowing shall rejoice. That tired eyes grown dim with bitter tears, And hearts a-weary with their doubts and fears, May know, and look up, and be glad, And shout aloud triumphantly to tell "The night is past, God is, and all is well." JOHN LOWLOW. The Veteran Clown Remembered In a Story in The Post. In a very interesting story, "In Winter Quarters," in the Saturday Evening Post of a recent date, Mr. L. B. Yates, makes this mention of the old clown, John Lowlow. II might have gone further and said that John attended the Uni versity and that he had as many personal friends in North Carolina as most any public man. we knew Lowlow for many years and so did many Greensboro people. Judge James E. Boyd was one of John's soecial friends. We knew John would like this kindly men tion by Yates telling a story of him by a woman rider who was long with Robinson's circus, and for that reason we re-print it. It reads: 'While I was with the Robinson Circus I met the veteran, John Lowlow, probably the most famous of all American clowns. He was peculiar character in many ways, but a Drofound student. About once a week he would bring us girls a book, which he enjoined us to read carefully. It might be Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain or Kipling, but it was always one that had been hallmarked with the badge of approval. Then the fol lowing week he would cross-examine us closely to see if we had thoroughly digested it. At first we read to please him and be cause of his kindness and consid eration, but later we grew to like and became omnivorous readers of everything worthy that came iurwav. This perhaps was a unique system of education, be cause in the main our university was the Lord's big schoolhouse of the mighty outdoors. Still, when one comes to think of it, it was ab solutely liberal, and perhaps in the long run as efficacious as what we might have acquired in a regular md prescribed course of intellec tual training. " 'You don't have to pay trans portation on brain-food seed.girls,' he would say quaintly, and it vields thousands of bushels to the ere.' Lowlow knew his Shakes- Deare by heart and enjoyed the friendship of many men prominent in national affairs. In after years I met people in all walks of life, hut never any one who excelled this gentle, kindly old clown when it came to possessing all the in stincts and attributes or a gentle man. and like chain lightning when cull ed upon to adapt himself to his surroundings or to take advantage of peculiar conditions. He was the only man I ever saw, except Bayfield, who used Dame Nature's spotlight. On sunshiny afternoons, when making his addresses to the audience or singing his songs, he would place himself on the ring- bank in such a position that the sun's rays, coming through the opening in the canvass where the sections had been laced togeth er, would play full upon him. Lowlow was a many sided and sometimes unappreciated genius. 'His home was originally in Sa vannah, and as I understood it he had been one of the noted veter ans of the Civil War. 1 know that whenever we played through the South and got down in the partic ular section mentioned hosts of personal friends used to visit him, and old ladies brought him pres ents of elderberry wine, jam and fruit cake. When we were in Virginia he was always the guest of Colonel Fairfax, head of that famous aristocratic old house. In those days the clown was really the star of the circus. "He was usually called a Shake- sperean jester and frequently had to entertain the audience single handed. Lowlow never descend ed to slapstick methods; all his ef fects resulted from brilliantly con ceived and admirably executed comedy. "Everything. Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up. Mrs. Martha Wilcox. Gowooda, N.Y. writes: "I tlrst used Chamberlain s Cough Remedy about eight years ago. At that time I had a hard eold and soughed most of the time. It proved to be just what 1 needed. It Oruae u the eold in a few days, aud the sough entirely disappeared. I have told many friends of the good I reseived through using this medicine, and all who have used it speak of it ia the highest terms." Obtainable everywhere.

J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY Winston-Salem, N.C. 4 TROUBLE. Old Trouble hid, inside a tree, and muttered, "Now, dad bind me, I think that men won't bother me they won't know where to find me!" But men and women everywhere, from Tampa to To ronto; exclaimed, the while they pawed the air, "Oh, where has Trouble gone to? When Trouble is no more about, we shed the tears unbidden; let us go forth and hunt him out, wherever he is hid den." They got search warrants at the court, and lanterns trimmed with bunting, and every dame and every sport forth to the woods went hunting. They let all other business slide naught else was so important, and through the forest dark and wide, they scrambled, where they'd ortn't. And oh, the rapture and the glee, when through a glade repairing, they found poor Trouble in his tree, and dragged him from it, swearing. Triumph antly they homeward went, their fears and cares were over, for they had found the long-lost gent; thenceforth they'd live in clover.
