DO IT YOURSELF.
DO SOMETHING AND HKCOME A
i.i:aui:m op mi:n.
One of the commonest trails of
humanity, taking it in general, is a
disposition in wail for someone else
lo lake u step thai everyone sees is
needed, but which no one makes it
his own business lo take, because it
is "everybody's business."
Then there ure so many people
who, while not making a movement
lo lake ilus step themselves, severe
ly blame other people for not tak
ing it!
Once, in a crowded street of a
great city, a poor, overworked cab
horse, fell io the pavement. Unable
lo move, he lay there on his side,
motionless under the weight of the
shafts and harness.
A crowd gathered quickly, and
encircled ihe fallen horse. The
cabman stood helplessly by, he
would have been powerless, even
if he had not been stupid, to re
lease the horse alone.
A man sauntered up, his hands
deep in his pockets. He glanced
scornfully up and down the crowd,
and then said : "Ha! Not a sol
itaiy one of you that'l lend a hand
to help the poor beast!" So say
ing, with a contemptuous shrug of
his shoulders and his hands still in
his pockets, he walked away.
In all such situations, however,
presently ihe right person is found
to come forward, assume the di
rection, and see that the proper
thing is done. People who step
forward in such an emergency are
laid to have a "gift of leadership;"
but a gift of leadership is only a
disposition to do the things that
must be done.
Each one who says io another,
in a hearty and honest way, "Lend
me a hand, and we will get the
thing done," trusting lo mutual
help and suggestion to carry iiout,
may be a leader, and his success
ors, when the thing is done, argues
no special gift above the others
who have silently helped him.
It was the thought that the lead
ership lay; and it is by doing things
ourselves, and not in waiting for
others to do the perfectly obvious
thing to be done, that we may be
come leaders of men.
MOW HE COULD HELP.
"Can I do anything for you?"
asked the sympathetic motorist of
i dusty, grimy individual who was
trying to tin J out what was the mat
ter with his car, while a corpulent
dame on ihe back seat kepi up a
running fire comment and advice.
"Yes, you can," answered ihe
man in trouble. "I wish you'd
come over here and tell my wife
ihe story of your life or do some
thing else io keep her from med
dling with me uniil I get this
blamed job finished."

AS DANGEROUS
Calomel salivates! It's mercurv. Calomel
acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When
calomel comes into contact with sour bile it
crashes into it, causing cramping and nausea.
Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead!
and without making you sick, you
jmt go buck and get your money.
If you take calomel today youll
be sick and naiucuted tomorrow; be
sldcn, it may salivate you, wbilt if

DID YOU?
"Did you give him a lift ? He's a brother man,
And bearing about all the burdens he can.
Did you give him a smile? He was downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped him io battle it through.
"Did you give him a hand ? He was slipping down hill,
And the world, sol fancied, was using him ill.
Did you give him a word ? Did you show him the road?
Or did you just let him go on with his load ?
"Do you know what it means to be losing the fight,
When a lift in lime might set everything right ?
Do you know what it means just a clasp of the hand,
When a man's borne about all that a man ought to stand?
"Did you ask what it was why thequivering lips?
Why the half-suppressed sob, and the scalding tears' drip ?
Were you brother of his when the lime came to need?
Did you offer to help him, or didn't you heed?
TO-DAY
NEVKR MINI) WHAT Mt'E ARE GOING
TO BE Nl) DO TEN YEARS FROM
NOW BUT HOW ABOUT TO
DAY? The iiciulile with most of us is
that we look out on success as
something in the future tense. We
aie always iiMiit; to be successful,
or liiiiiiim ih.ii we may be, where
as we should regard it as some
thing which has to do with the
present moment.
Have we been a success to day?
Were we a success in our work?
Did we put life into it, ardor,
"ginger," or did we let it drag
along till ii stopped automatically
on ihe struke of five? Were we a
social success lo-day? It may be
true that we have not been any
where except to ihe office and
home ugnin, but rvrn in that case,
we have social opportunities. Did
we make ourselves agreeable to
our fellow employees ?
Instead of thinking of success as
something belonging to the future,
we should make up our mind that
we are going to be a success in
what we are doing just now. It
may be nothing particularly ex
hilarating, lyping a letter or wash
ing dishes, delivering groceries or
running a lawn mower, and yet
ihere is a big difference between
making a success of it and making
a failure.
A whole is no greater than the
sum of its parts. A successful life
cannot be made up of a multitude
of unsuccessful days. And it is
altogether unlikely that some day
we will make such a big success of
something thai it will neutralize all
the little failures of today
and yesterday ' and the day
before. The way to make a sue
cessful life is to make a success of
each day as ii comes along. Nev
er mind what we are going to be
and do ten years from now. How
about today? Have we made a
success of this lifetime in mina-lure?
LEARNED BY EXPERIENCE.
"Have you ever had any expe
rience in handling high class
ware?" asked a dealer in a brick-a-brac
of an applicant for work.
"No, sir," was the reply, "but
I ihink I can do it."
"Suppose," said ihe dealer,
"you accidentally broke a very
very valuable porcelain vase, whai
would you do?"
"I should put ii carefully togeth
er," replied the man "and set ii
where a wealthy customer would
be sure io knock it over again."
"Consider yourself engaged,"
said the dealer. "Now, tell me
have you learned thai trick of ihe
trade."
"A few years ago, answered the
other. "I was one of the wealthy
customer class."
EXCUSING" ADAM.
"I contend that Adam was with
out gentlemanly instincts or ne
never would have put ihe blame
on a woman."
"Well, what could you expect of
the first man? You know it takes
three generations to make a gentleman."
DISCOURAQED.
Eph Wiley says every lime he
gets ready lo concede the i nielli
gence of the people something
happens to remind him that a great
many ot them believe in mad
stones.
SUNKEN TREASURE SHIPS.
ONE OK THE MOST INTERESTING
WRECKS THAT OF THE LUTINE.
One of the most interesting
wrecks on record is that of the
British frigaie Lutine. which was
sunk off the coast of Holland in
1790. It was customery in those
days to carry much gold and silver
on war vessels, and this particular
ship was known io have 1,900
gold bars and 500 bars of silver
with a total value of over six mil
lion dollars. It was driven around
in a storm and sank in compara
tively shallow water. Great Brit
ain at that time was at war with
France, and Holland, an ally of
France, claimed the frigate as a
prize of war. The water was so
shallow ai low tide it was possible
for a fisherman to reach it with
scoops and grapples and recover
some of its treasure. A salvage
company organized by the Dutch
people lo recover the weahh of ihe
Lutine succeeded in gelling not
more than half a million dollars
worth of gold and silver. The po
sition of the wreck, however, was
decidedly unfavorable. It was in
an exposed spot and the bottom
was swept by strong tidal currents.
Gradually it became buried in
sand, and all salvage operations
had io cease.
There are other rich treasures
in the sea, writes A. Russell Hand
in Everybody's. In Cumana Bay,
Venezuela, lies ihe wreck of the
Spanish flagship, San Pedro, with
with $2,000,000 worih of gold on
board, which so far has defied all
attemps to salvage. The richest
treasure of all is probably a Span
ish galleon, sunk off Lizard Point
on the Cornish coast, in 1783,
which is believed to have aboard
$85,000,000 worth of gold.
But we need not go so far afield
for valuable wrecks. Our own
lakes are filled with them. In fact,
Lake Huron is known locally as
the "Lake of Sunken Treasure."
It is estimated that some $12,000,
000 worth of gold and silver is
buried in the depths of ihe Great
Lakes.
