BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
To-day Is being celebrated in many
parts of the country tne two nun'
dredth anniversary of the birth of
Benjamin Franklin, in fact It Is not
too much to say perhaps that a good
portion of the civilised world Is at
leaBt remarking the day. Of how
many men can this be said upon the
two hundredth anniversary of their
hlrth? What does it mean? That
he was one of the few transcendent
geniuses of the world? Nothing of
the kind. It means that he was one
of the few men who have really spent
their lives In helping others to make
life more worth living, not by giving
them things they did not work for,
not hy Just giving them good advice,
but by both word and deed forever
teaching them how to get the most
out of life. ,
It i ha been said that it , to
1: Xl- f
not the man wno anowe wings
that U valuable, but the man -who
knows how to do. things. , Cany thto
Idea a little further and say that the
most valuable man of all Is the man
who knows how to ' do "; things " and
shows others how to do them. That
was Benjamin Franklin. - His - fame
is due' to the fact that he was one
of the greatest teachers the world
has ever had, not teachers of hooks
but teachers of life, of .how to live,
of 'how to thrive. Is there any, one
gerater word or act of his long life
that does not In Its' very utterance
and doing show this all-Inspiring pur
poser What, were his writings for
the most part but the great lesson
of life put down so that Tie who runs
may read and so that the wayfaring
man thoiugh he be ' fool need not
err therein?.. What .were, his scienti
fic experiments but efforts to discover
bow best to adapt our physical selves
to our earthly environments, rfto find
out-the laws of the great natura' in
whose lap we live so that we might
