manage yourself
A GREAT singer, who has to spend
about eighteen hours a day faking
care of his health and his voice, which
are his capital, needs a manager, and
lias one.
A great actor, whose every minute
Is required to continue being a great
actor, also needs a manager.
We take It that you are neither a
great singer nor u great actor, because
you belong to the vast majority of hu
man beings.
Therefore, while you need a man
ager, too, you don’t need to hire one.
Yon ran be your own.
This Is true, whether you are your
own boss, or what the socialists call a
wage slave.
If you are a wage slave you will
to some extent have to submit to the
management of the man who Is set
over you.
But he can only manage you in
working hours, and he can’t manage
your mind at all. And It Is your mind,
and the way It is managed, that will

the greatest art
IF YOU will l<H»k around you with
undarkened vision, without preju
dice in your heart, and with a mind
heat upon getting at the truth quite
regardless of the pang it may cause
your pride, you will discover Unit the
greatest art of nH arts is the art of
phasing others.
And this art. though simple ns It
may appear on the surface, is the most
difficult are in the whole world of hu
man practice.
It means at the very beginning of
its acceptance the subjugation of
spirit and passion, the conformation'
of will, talent mid effort to the free
reception of others who shall event
ually pass upon your work and give
It approval.
Like you, the judges are human*
but their judgment, however It may
affect your purse or temper, is final,
inasmuch ns It opens the do 'r to hope
or Imprisons you with despair.
You may paint a beautiful -picture,
but if It falls to please others no
body will praise or buy It. And you
proceed to nurse your disappointment
with ill-humor, oblivious to the fact
that the painting is deficient some
where in color, drawing or atmosphere
of the quality that gives satisfaction.
But the true artist. In whatever field
of human endeavor he may be seeking
success, turns each failure to account
by studying It g<»nd-humoredly anil
checking up Its defects.
He turns the first canvas to the wall
nnd begins to paint again, carefully
avoiding previous mistakes.
And It Is in sm h action as this that
there Is shown the true mettle of the
man or woman who is determined to
forget self by plmslng others.
ft may be a difficult lesson to learn,
ami it may take years to comprehend
fill its Intricacies nnd minute details,
but when it Is once mastered, old
heartaches disappear like the hoary
frost In the shining morning sun.
To please others ought to lie the
chief purpose of every young man
nnd woman dependent on his or her
physical or mental effort for livelihood
nnd succors.

WHAT TO EAT
A DELICIOUS breakfast fish Is
** mackerel; with a nicely seasoned
sauce it may be served for a luncheon
dish. Soak the fish over night skin
•ide up, adding one tableßpoonful of
vinegar to the water. In the morning
remove the fish, rinse well, remove the
backbone nnd cut the fish Into fillets.
I’arlmll five minutes before cutting up,
drain and rook In a hot frying pan
with n little fat until a golden brown.
Arrange on ti warm plntter. garnish
with parsley * ( nd pour around the
fillets.
Oatmeal Rolls.
Take one-half ctfpful of hot mashed
potatoes, add one cupful of scalded
milk, two tnblespoonfuls of sugar nnd
a tenspoonful of salt. When luke
"nrm add one-nulf of a yeast cake,
four cupfuls of flour, one and one-half
<”ipfi!ls of rolled oats which have been
•’aided with one-half cupful of bob Ing
.•ater. Knoad to a smooth dough
make >r break you before you get
through.
Take over that Job yourself. If it
is an unruly mind, make It law-abiding.
If It Is a roaming mind, given to wan
dering over all sorts of subjects when
It ought to be confined to one, dis
cipline It.
Keep It on the job It ought to be
doing. Teach it to concentrate and
make It practice this new accomplish
ment.
If It Is a lazy mind, force It to work
and to work hard. If it objects and
acts as If it might crack under the
strain, don’t worry about It. Keep It
working and It will soon learn to do
Its work without getting fagged.
While you are managing your mind,
manage your body, too. Make It con
trol Its appetites, and take cold baths,
and tackle hard work without flinch
ing.
Don’t let It overeat or neglect to
get plenty of sleep, or do any of the
foolish things that bodies will do If
they are permitted to have their own
way.
Mind nnd body well managed will
soon be worth more to your boss and,
consequently, more to you. If your
boss won’t pay the extra value, get an
other boss; but be sure first that the
extra value Is there. It Is easy to think
you are worth more than you are, and
to underestimate the boss’ judgment In
that respect.
After you have been managing your
self for a while you will know how to
manage others. Then, when you get
a chance, you will be abl« to improve
It. You will find the job difficult at
first, but pleasant and profitable after
ward. Try It and see If this isn’t true.

TJOW big a little house can be
When all here gone away
And left no one at home but me;
How dreary, grim and gray
The shadows are at eventide.
When lone and tired I come
And have no one to sit beside
Me when at last I’m home.
The hall seems leagues of distance
wide.
Each room a vast estate;
Dark forms in dusky corners hide
And terrors He In wait.
Deep silence relgnß, and over nil
The lonesome sh idnws creep;
I list to hear n so*t footfall
From out the silence deep.
No welcome laugh, nr smiling face.
No eager, running feet
To meet pie as I near the place;
No kiss from l’ps so sweet.
A barren Isle In widespread tea;
A rock In desert wide;
No hands that beckon unto me
Near home at eventide.
And yet. ere morning sun awakes
I feel n presence sweet;
Dream faces dreary fancy breaks
And bring a Joy complete.
1 feel the touch of little hards.
See smiles of childish glee;
And as from far-off Fairyland
My children come to tre.
O’er low-flung hills and valleys wide,
Far from the city’s strife.
Midst country scenes where joys abide
Are children dear and wife.
So what care I If dark and drear
The cottage to be.
If brown and strong my kiddles dear
Soon hasten home to me I

DESIGNING OF THE / ■ 1 ; \ I
MDNRDE DIETOIHE V 4 1
By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
IRE came near robbing
the United States of a
historic landmark in New
York city the other day.
Flames broke out la a
junk and rag shop at
Prince and Lafayette
streets. Luckily the fire-
Inien were prompt nnd
did a good Job. The re
sult was that the flames
did no more than dam-
E
age walls of the rooms In the attic
under the hip roof of the two-story
building.
This Junk shop Is indeed a his
toric landmark, for there James Mon
roe, fifth President of the United
States, lived after his retirement from
public life, and there he died.
Moreover, December 2. 1923, Is the
one hundredth anniversary of the sign
ing of the Monroe Doctrine and the
Sulgrave Institution plans to have the
building restored by that time, so that
it can be dedicated as a shrine to Mon
roe and ids doctrine —which has be
come an American declaration of pol
icy of world-wide Importance.
Monroe, though a man of moderate
ability, and not always successful,
bulks large In our national history.
Here Is his career in brief:
Born In Westmoreland county, Vir
ginia, April 23, 1758 ; died in New York
July 4, ISiil; fifth President (1817-25).
He fought in the Revolution. He en
tered the Virginia assembly in l r 82;
v as In congress 1783-80; was a mem
ber of Virginia ratifying convention
in 1788; was United States senator
1790-94; was United States minister
to France 1794-90; w r as governor of
Virginia 1799-1802; was one of the
negotiators of the Louisiana Purchase
In 1803; was United States minister to
Great Britain, 1803-07; was governor
of Virginia in 1811; was United States
secretary of state, 1811-17, and secre
tary of war, 1814-15. He was elected
President as candidate of the Demo
cratic-Republican party In 1810, and
was re-elected in 1820. Among the
events of his administration were the
acquisition of Florida (1819) ; the Mis
souri Compromise (1S20), and the pro
mulgation of the Monroe Doctrine
(1823). After his retirement from the
presidency lie lived on his estate at
Oak Hill, Loudoun county, Virginia.
Hie latter days were clouded by pe
cuniary embarrassments, largely the
result of outlays he had been obliged
to make as forelgr. representative of
the government. He went to live with
his relatives in New York, where he
died July 4, 1831. Ills grave Is in
Richmond, Va.
The Sulgrave Institution, as every
body knows. Is n society organized to
promote friendly feelings between
English-speaking peoples. It uses ns
one cf Its mediums the gift of statues,
restoration of historical spots and ex
change of historical relics. It Is the
Kulgruve institution that has restored]
Movements of Fishes
Remarkable Investigations Into the
habits of fish are being carried out by
the Rrltish ministry of fisheries. The
sbject Is to discover how far and in
what direction fish travel, whether
there are seasons In which organized
migrations take place; nnd how fujt
various kinds of fish grow. A special
research steamer Ims been fitted with
tanks through which sea-water flows

the ancient home of the Washingtons
In England. In connection with its
activities was the recent visit of a
group of distinguished Britishers
headed by Sir Charles Wakefield, for
mer lord mayor of London, to present
to the Alnerlcan people statues of
William Pitt, Edmund Burke and
James Bryce.
f To Richard E. Enright, police com
missioner of New York, apparently be
longs a large share of the credit of
the restoration of the “Monroe Man
sion.” It was he who started the
movement in the board of governors
a year ago. The committee appointed
includes Mr. Enright, Charles Stuart
Davidson. George F. Kunze, Walter
Jennings, L. Gordon Hammersley,
Andrew B. Humphrey, Robert Grier
Cooke, Judge Alton B. Parker and
John A. Stewart, cbalnnan of direc
tors of Sulgrave Institution.
The neighborhood of the Monroe
Menslon has seen changes In keeping
with the fall of the building from its
once lofty estate. The historic house
is now overshadowed by Jobbing
houses and surrounded by battery-fill
ing stations and lunch stands. A row
of 12-story buildings looks down
from the west upon this Junk shop
that once boasted of being among the
best of the fine homes of an exclusive
residential section.
The house was built ’>y Samuel L.
Gouverneur, who married Marla, the
President’s daughter. It Is an old-fash
ioned two-story structure with an at
tic under a hip roof.
The single trace of its connection
with the President whose doctrine has
had such a great effect upon the his
tory of the New World and the Old Is
a bronze plate under the second-story
window. This tablet, dedicated by
Gouverneur Hoes of Washington, D.
C., great-great-grandson of the Presi
dent, has been nidden from the casual
eye by the dirt of many seasons.
In November, 1919, the house was
sold at auction for speculative pur- |
poses after an unsuccessful effort on
the part of the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation society nnd
other patriotic and civic organizations
to obtain It.
The Monroe Doctrine, as all good
Americans know, dates from a declara
tion made by President Monroe In his '
seventh annual message to congress. I

from Lowestoft and small hauls are I

After this they are put into a second

where they were released.

by Russia, Austria and Prussia, was
threatening to help Spain recover its
control of various South American re
publics which had achieved independ
ence. Russia and the United Staten
were In controversy over Pacific coast
boundaries. And here Is the nub of
what President Monroe said:
“In the discussions to which thia
interest has given rise, and in the ar
rangements by which they may ter
minate, the occasion has been deemed
proper for asserting, as a principle In
which the rights and interests of the
United States are involved, that the
American continents, by the free and
Independent condition which they have
assumed and maintained, are hence
forth not to be considered as subjects
for future colonization by any Euro
pean power. . . . We owe it. there
fore, to candor and to the amicable
relations existing between the United
States and those powers to declare
that we should consider any attempt
on their part to extend their system
to any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or depend
encies of any European power we have
. not Interfered and shall not interfere.
But with the governments who have
declared their Independence and main-
I lain it. and whose independence we
i have, on great consideration and on
just principles, acknowledged, we could
not view any interposition for the pur
pose of oppressing them or controlling
In any other manner their destiny by
any European power in any other light
than as the manifestation of an un
friendly disposition toward t’e United
States.”
President Cleveland in 1895 In the
controversy over the boundary line be
tween Venezuela and British Guiana
warned Great Britain In a message to
congress that the Monroe Doctrine
"was Intended to apply to every stage
of our national life, and cannot become
obsolete while our republic endures.”
President Harding, at the unveiling
of the Bolivar statue In New York In
1921 said:
“The history of the generations
since that doctrine was proclaimed
has proved we never intended It
selfishly: that we had no dream of ex
ploitation. On the other side, the his
tory of the Inst decade certainly must
have convinced all the world that we
stand willing to fight. If necessary, to
! protect these continents, these sturdy
i young democracies, from oppression
and tyranny.”
I confidence has always been most
marked, a dominant characteristic
even of his extreme youth.
When he was about eight years old,
ho decided to take a Job during his
school vacation, and accordingly sought
work In a grocery. After he had been
there a week or so Ids uncle meeting
the old grocer, asked:
“Well, how are you getting on with
William at the store?”
“I seem to please him.” snld the old
grocer with a smile. “I seem to please
him.”
