He was a |.right little fellow of some thre* ye:irs and oecupled a seat ln the pawwragtr euaea wlth hia mother. lidgeiy and full of lifo, he was qulet neureely for a mlnute.

The Jouniey grew tlresoiue, and he was eooj.nl ln the seat, whleh effee tually l.:irred any wide voyage* of dls eovery. Mh^l and body were exclted. He must have some sort of safety valve. 'I?o you hear me, John? Keep still!" The restless kld pauscd for the frae tien of a mlnute, aud then all the pent up forees of his nature broke over, like ihe aeeumulated waters above a dam.

Onr rnodern poet oxhorts, "Do noble things, not dream them all day long." But lt la alwaya tbe diaamar who does great things. Hia dream is neces aary to the progreaa of the world, t* make the wheHs go round. t'olumhus dreamed of the land on the other side and fouialI lt. Napoleon dreamed of empire and ffon lt Havo narola dreamed of reform and died for lt. iincoln dreamed of a nation saved and saved it. It must he so. Tha dream must be a vision of great er things. It must lure to brighter worlds aud point the way. And then the dreniuer must go out and make hia dream come true. The great dreamer write* tho great book. builds the impoaaible brldge over the ?hnsm, lays a path for thought on the bottom of the sea, aenda tn* mes sage through the viewlea* air. There was a man of Kanaaa City whose name wns Stllwell. I Ktilwell dreamed a dream of an air! llue of ateel from the gramnalda of tha middle weat direct to the gulf. They called lt "Stllwell's dream.** The mon eyerata of Wall atreet laughed at It. But When the flnanclers of thi* eountry turuod their back on fltllwell'* vlslon of direet eommunlcation wlth th?* gulf be went to Holland and tokl his dreum to tfce Dutca capitallata. Taa/ fur^ nlshed the mohe\ Tho Kunsas Cltj and Southern railroad wrs bullt. Stllwell's dream osme true. To he sure. he wns oheated out of his ?ard earned share in the r??ud. but the road is tbere, ibe dlrect fulflllmeut of Stllwell'a dream. Then Stilwell dreamed another dream. Agaln tbe financlers of the eountry pronounced his dream a baaeless fab rlc. They said it was lmpractical aud absurd. Stilwell wanted to bulld a railroad from Kansaa City tbrough old Mexico to the gulf. lt was tbe old dream from a new point of view. Stllwell's vlslon has always been the benlgn one of connectlng the great granarles of the west wlth tldewater. thus savlng to the farmers the "long haul" transpor tatlon. Stilwell got the money some how. and the Kausas City and Orlent road ia being bullt. Tour dreamer is oftentlmes the best utilltnrlan. His rislon makes things come to pas*. "BE SOME BODY." Most of us go with the eurrent be cause it la easler to drlft than to take up the oars and pull up stream. Be somebody. Most of us lack ludlvlduallsm, or, aa we usually put it, Indivlduallty. Most of us are prone to b* content with things aa they are. We are con teut to be like other people. Couven tlonnlity gets In the way of Individ uailty. What otbers do determlnes what we do. The person wlth Indivlduallty stand* out, looms larg*. There are so few of him. To cultivate your personality and make it a force you must assert it. You cannot do thaj by going along the llue of least reslstance. You must ofteu go along th* line of MOST re? slstance. And that helps some. be? cause reslstance overcome makes for forceful character. The tendency today ls toward mak ing men allke. turntug them out aa lf by molds?all of a pattern. Centralizatlon of lndustry, combina tlon, puts men Into hords.?and con trols the berds. The mere unlt of aoeiety?the YOU? will, if it ls not careful. be merged lnto the crowd. But lf the you?tbe unlt?will proteat and perstat it will get above the crowd and? Be somebody. Every man who has become some? body, who has done things, has been dependent. not upon condition*, not upon relatives nor upon soclety nor upon luck, but upon HIMSELF! To be somebody one must be dlffer ent from everybody. But? There ls one grave danger ln trying to be somebody, ln trying to assert oneself, In trying to be dlfferent from everybody. If everybody see* that ln trying to be somebody, ln holding yoursclf above tbe crowd, you are egotlstic in your effort and eoncvlted ln your spirlt. why?the crowd will pull you down to Its level, and Justly. If you want to be aomebody you must be modest about lt. All great souls are modest and helpful and klndly. Kemember, you are not assertlng yourself arrogautly over otbers. You ar* assertlng yourself over your LOWEtt SELF. over your suhl'lmal ?eif. You are making your HIOHKB SKLF DOMINANT. Be somebody?wltbin yourself, of yourself. by yourself. Be somebody?In your own soul. NOTHERS OF CRXAT MEN. When you trace the beglnnings of ? great man, behiud him you will find a noble mother. It ls notable that great men seldom have great sona. Is it because the son's luherltance of character ls dl vided by two? I'uless he has a great mother aa well as a great father the son may lnherit but half his fathcr's taleut. On the other hand. lf the son has a great mother his luherltance seems to be multipllcd by two, so equahlc are the laws of heredlty. Many great men have been the son* of weak or dlssoiute fathers. Tbe mother factor counted. Note the Itoman Gracchl. The mother of the (Iracehl refused the hand of a king aud tbe crown of a queen to devote herself to her son*. How great was her reward! The father of Savonarola was a prof llgate spendthrlft. But go back to his mother. Tbere you flud th* nobtllty of nature, the su? preme .moral courage. of the great preacner, reformer. stateaman and martyr. Methodlam came from Susan Wealey. mother of John aad Charles. Thewlde hlpped physlqueand daunt le?s spirlt of Napoleon'a mother made him what he was. Washlngton's greatnesa came from hia mother. Had lt not been for hla remarkabie mother James A. Oarneld might have *pent his llfe on the Erio canaL It was that wldowed mother who gave him hla asplratloaa for educatlon and put lnto him th* stroug rellgious tend eneie* of his after llfe. Aad th* mother of Abraham Lin aat?l Thomaa Llnooln, the father. waa a good enough aort of hla kind. Nancy Hanks Llacoln waa one of the earth'a uoblest women. It waa she?tbat wil derness mother-who bequeathed to him hia greatneas and his whit* souled goodnea*. lt waa she who, dying ln that Speneer county cabln, put her hand on the head of her nlne-year-old ?ontoaay: "I am going away. my boy, but I want you to remember that your moth? er wauta you to b* a good and a useful n*an. And Llacoln never forgot. Many yeara after he had atood by the grave of that mother, a freekled natless, mlserable boy. he aaid "AU that I am or ever hope to be I o'we to my angel mother." Mothers! More than you reallze. the destlny of your boy Hes with you. Tie him to you as by hooks of ateel. Pour Into his plastlc soul the nobleat and beet that ls tn you. And ao shall he rlse up and call yoo blessed. THE SLEEP CURE. In this day of cure fads and sanl tarlunis permlt us to suggeat one of I nature's curee? the sleep cure. Ijick of sleep cause* 111 health and nervousnesa. You cannot cheat naturo i and get off scot free. Most people are too bu8y to aleep? too busy maklng money or taking pleasure. The soclety woman rushes after en? tertainment when ahe ought to be ln bed. The worklngman or worklng woiuan la so keeu h. the deslre to get on that the result ls overwork and uudersleep. The housewlfe worrles over the de taila of her daily task and neglectai the racupcrnticn of aeceaaar The husinees man t:i';es his busiaes : h.'i ie with him. wakes up In tbe night to ?onsi.hr h'.^ p!aus. and the outcomc 1* u?nous breakdown. Now? Sleep is tbe one mcdlcln*- in all the pharmacopoeln of naiure for the fugged mlnd aud the worn body. It is the greatest blessing vouchsafed to tlred and weary uiortals. ?hakaapaaia the wise knew. u* calls lt "uuture's sweet restorer." In seven words he tells Its gracious func tlon lt "knlts up tbe raveled aleevo of care." Therefore? Take an Inventory of your hablt for an average tweuty four hours. Are you curtalilug your nevessary hours of sleep? lf so you are burnlng the can dle of life at both cikIh. Change your hahlt. Klght hours of sleep may be suffl clent for the ordlnary person ln health. But lf you are overstraiued In body or mlnd "run dowu"?go to bcd early and get up late. Stay in bed ulue or ten hours. It may not l?e easy for you to sleep so long ut the flrst. But porsevere. Ilest. Best aud relax. ltelax ls the word. Note how your dog will relax when he rests. He tbrows himself down ln utter abandon. Body, head and tall go down tn a buncb. Your uerves are taut as flddto stiiug*.

The dlaparagement of the usefulness and importaine of the thumb Implied in the expresslou, "His fingers are all thumba," seems undcservcd in view of the important purt the thumb formerly played lu the soclal customs of the peo? ple and the very important part it playa Lo our own lives. Lord Ersklne. in his "Instltutea," states that ninong certaln of the lower ranks ln S^otland the final settlemeut of a bargal'i was alwnys slguallzed by the 11 klng ind jolniug of thumb*.

The United States Navy poasessea one auch rendezvous along the Atlantic Coast that orfords ample area, suffi cient depth and is ideally located for naval usea.

Paul Ardmore uodded hla thanks to the conductor as he swuug down tho ear steps to the snow covered platform and made his way toward the waitiug rooiu. No cxpectant committee gatbered about the stove, aud the only *lgn* of llfe were the ellckiug of the telegraph lnstruincnts aud a thia nlm of very rauk tobacco smoke that curled from uuder tbe closed window of the ticket ofllce. He walted a mlnute; then he rapped on the ground glasa, and presently a face, nppearlug ln the openlng, evinccd surly lnterest. "I am Professor Ardmore," cxplained Paul. "I am to give a lecture at the Gotafc church. There ls no committee to meet me, and tbere seems to be no back about tbe statlon." 'Tbere ls one geperaUy, but Jim got a Job drlvlug a felicr over to Moor way.

Pnul clutched at hla pocket and es tmcted a letter. He glHueed at tbe fine fvinliilne handwrUlng and breathed n slgh of relief. "It Is for the 17th," he annouueed lil relief. "I am so abseutmlnded that I have to be very careful of my datea. Tcrhapa the committee 1ms dlscovered the error and will gnther the audience again tonight. In any event lt would be best for me to go over." He turned up the coliar of his ulster to protect his throat and. leaving the atatlon. plunged througb the drlftlng anow. It was not a long walk, for Maple wood was a small place, and present ly he was ln slght of the church that w*s attended by the town** fa*hiona ble famllles. To bls relief the llght* ahoue out, ?nd a little knot of people stood about the door.

"I am glnd that you were able to gnther them together ogniu tbts eveulng I presnme un error was made." The wchomlng siulle faded from the glrllsh fnee?. "You nre tbe lecturer?" crled one. 'We tlmught you were the brldogroom," "Mercy, no!" exclnlined Paul, color lng vlvldly. "The lecture was announced for last ulgbt." went on tbe speaker. *Tb? gnlld memlier* orgnnlscd an Impronip tu eoucert to uvold dlsappolntlng tbe audience.

"Your commu nicatloa says very dlstiuctly tluit the leeture U on the 17th," The glrl took the letter unbellcvlug ly. then gave ? little cry of dlamay. "You nre Professor ArdmoreV" she crled, "It was Burtou Hrooks, tho Egyptologlst. who was to har* lec tured last night. Y'onr lecture ls to ?m? given on tbe 27th. I made tbe mlstake lu th* date. Thia* ls my letter. I am very sorry." "1 can come agalu on the 27th." promlscd Paul as he pereclved tbe girl's dlstress. "I take it tbat there ls a wedding here this evening May I stay until lt ls time for my train? It ls scarcely Invitlng at the statlon, and the agent amoke* very bad tobacco." "Ye*; we've reported hia bad man uers to the company dozeus of time*," was the dbtcouraged reply. "You are welcome here, but lt ia a rebearsal for the bridal party. not tbe wedding." She led the way lnto the body of the church, and Paul allpped Into a pew on the slde aisle, glad of a rest ful haveu until train time. Presently the orgau pealed, and at the first ?train* there entered th* groom and hU beat man. Ao elderiy woman. who seemed to have conatltut ed heraelf the mlatress of ceremonlea, shouted to the orgunist to atop and charged upon the abeeplah groom. "Go back!** ahe crled. "You dou't give the orgau a chance! He'a got to play the march all the way througb, and lf you come out uow you'll have to stand like a toy flgur* walting for the bride to come lu! Don't come un? til I say 'Now' and then remember the place In the musie!" The groom and hla aupporter stum bled back lnto the veatry, and agaln the organ pealed out the wedding march. Paul turned curtoualy to look at the bridal party, and for a moment his pulse seemed to cease it* beat. The Uttl* bride was none other than Kleanor Klcgsland, the on* woman ln the world that Panl worahlped, and hla worahlp waa not the leaa intense be? cause he had never told of has love. He had thought of b*r alwaya aa a chlld, for he waa very young himself for the posltion that he bekk and in consequenee felt hlmaelf to be tremen dously eld. He had meaut some day to tell his lov* and seek her for hla own, but b* had delayed hla propoaal until lt waa too late. Now she waa about to be? come the bride of that sbeeptsb look ing obap stamling ln the ehaucel. He half rose aa though to leave; tbeu he sauk back into his seat agahi He would drlnk the cup of humlllatlon to the very drega. ne would see tbe glrl he loved go througb the form of marriage which on the morrow would I* perfornied; then he would go back to hia own narrow, loveless llfe bear Ing the knowledge that delay had cost him happiness. Miserably he watehed the procession form and break. to form agaln in re spouse to the dlrectress, but at last the rehearsal was pronounced perfect The groom and hla best man made tbelr appearance on the very not* that brougbt them to pause expectantly be fore the bride started and yet gave her time to step lnto place before the muslc stopped.
