This quotation you will find In the second volume of his great work: "Not for Mm ore those rewards which In other ptir ralts thaj same energy would have earned: not for him the F-ii of popular applause; not for him the. luxury of power; not for him a share In the councils of his country: not for him a completion. and honored place btfora tho public eye. "Albeit con-scJoua of what h couli do. ha may not compote In the great contact; h cannot hop to win the prl2: he cannot e-en enjoy ths escltement of tho struggle. "To him the arena. Is closed. Ills rerompensa lies within hIinoIf. and he must learn t-j car little for th-i sympathy of his fellow-creatures, or for such hos ors as they aro able to bestow." It U true that the world doesn't treat very gently thosa that try to ecrvc It. Hut the man who xrants to make himself useful and make his life worth while must understand conditions In advance. If you want money and an easy life, get a Job with Itockefellrr or one of his ItlnJ. Make yourself useful to money, anal money will make Itself useful to you. If ycu want to have a life that ts worth while, re member that you must take your pay In your own ap proval, or In the fun of a good, hard flirht. Vain liavo really waited too Ions to show th real fighter quality. Sonio j ears ago. when fighting men rulefl the world, the man with a new Idea ran real rlfks. He paid with hU life, with twisted limbs and burnt flesh, for his free dom of thought. Now punishment for independent thinking Is rtJlcu lou!y mill.

Henry, auditor of the United Rallwaya Compan. tl. gross earnings of the company for July were rr2.34X aa against IMt.432 for the suet month in I9M. a decrease of tj.Qe. The decrise Is accounted for by the fact that July of last year waa s heavy month for World's Fair builn.
