PagefEight. The Richmond Palladium, Thursday, August 23, 1906. pot in. 31 T W ID) IT UHL& AN is a creature of habits. We succeed or we fail as we acquire good habits or bad ones. A goda habit is a lubricant that f educes the friction of life to a point where progress is possible. Even so-called bad men must have some good habits or they would cease to exist; but tlfe more good habits a man has and the fewer bad ones, the greater is his power and capacity for good to himself and humanity. ... And let this fact stand: A man helps himself only as he serves humanity. Man is a creature of habit

The habits he acquires soon become his master they put him to bed at night at a certain hour they regulate his sleep; they call him in the morning; they dictate his breakfast; they send him to his work; and whether his work be Joyful work or joyless labor, has all been

decided months or years before by his habits.

Where and how we spend our evenings is a matter of habit. Our thoughts form our actions;our actions form our habits, our habits form

our characters.

Some of the habits that force a man to accept a poor situation when he would like a good oip, are the Cigarette. Habit, the Beer Habit, the Bromide Habit, the Pasteboard Habit, the Gossip Habit, the Dawdling Habit, the ProcrastinationHabit, the Grump and Grouch Habit.

To secure a good situation and hold it is a question of right habits. Rev. Dr. McCosh, fomerly President of Princeton University, said:

iVtheonly real lasting benefit of going to college comes from acquiring the study habit."

Dr. McCosh was certainly right, and he might have said that many a man wKbsoes to college never contracts the study habit on account of various other habits that he has or there takes on, the number of habits you caiNiave at one time being limited

But this is true : It is the study habit that distinguishes men. Once you get it only death can take it away froi

rou.

The INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS have done more to form the Study Habit than any other single influence in the world On October 16 of this year occurs the 15th anniversary of the founding of this, the greatest educational institution in the world 1 Note These Few Points They have enrolled over 900,000 students.

FAMILY GATHERING A REMARKABLE ONE

Three of Four Living Original Members of the Medearis Family in Attendance.

GREAT AGES ATTAINED

OLDEST 97, THE YOUNGEST 84 MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED DESCENDANTS AND THEIR FAMI

LY MEMBERS PRESENT, j "" What was one of the most! remark ttble and therefore one of the most interesting family reunions, held in .Wayne County in a long time, was that of the Medearis family yesterday at Jackson Park, west of Centerville. Of the five original members of the Medearis family, who came from Guilford county. North Carolina, to Wayne county, in 1S30, seventy-six years ago. four are st 1 1 living and three of these were in attendance at yesterday's reunion. They were: J. Fletcher Medearis, of Greensfork, aged 97 years. ;Mrs. Martha Keys, of Centerville, aged 90 years. Jefferson Medearis, of Indianapolis, aged S4 yers. Mrs. Nancy Crooks, of Olive Hill, aged 86 years, was the only one of the four living brothers and sisters who was unable to attend, illness preventing. They were the children of John and Mary Medearis of Guilford county, North Carolina and soon after the death of the father they came to Wayne county under their mother's care, making the long journey overland.which required many weeks. Charles R. Medearis, who went to Iowa from this county many years ago, is the only one of the five children who has passed away. It is unusual for four children out of a family of five to attain ages ranging from S4 to 97 and it is exceptional to see three brothers and sisters of such age gathered together for a reunion of their descendants. J. Fletcher Medearis, the eldest of the children, bears his ninety-seven years well and his mind is as clear as many men forty years his junior. Of thirteen children in his family, nine are living. Mrs. Martha Keys, of Centervilh?, also enjoys fairly vigorous health for a woman of ninety and she entered into the spirit of yesterday's family gathering with enthusiasm that was out of the ordinary for one of her age. There are four children in her family. Two children survive of the family of Mrs., Nancy Crooks, and seven in the family of Jefferson Medearis. The latter is the "baby" of the original children, being S4 years of age and the manner fa which he covered ground at yes

terday's reunion would have put many a young man to blush. Yesterday's gathering of the Meadearis family brought together 115 of the descendants, their families and close connections and at the "first table,' 'which was spread beneath the inviting branches of the beech trees, there were ninety-seven persons seated, which was noted as a coincidence, the number corresponding with the age, ninety-seven years of J. Fletcher Medearis, the oldest member of the

family present. Just preceding the dinner Ed. Dalbey photographed the family members as they were seated at the long table. The entire day was pleasantly spent and will be cherished long in the memories of those who attended.

Publishers Press! Newport, R. I., Aug. 22. Beale C. Wright and Holcomb Ward won their holding of the lawn tennis championship doubles today for the third successive year. Their victory was scored in one of the most stubbornly and brilliantly contested matches that the

famous Casino courts and the national championship tournament has ever witnessed. The score of three sets to one at G-3, 3-6, 6-3 and 6-3 was not looked for by , the experts, and as it offered opportunities for speculation large sums of money was wagered on the result, as the Eastern champion challengers, Frederick B. Alexander and Harold H. Hackett. were looked upon as in form to create a change in the holding of the title this year. Sharing the importance of the - national doubles contest Was that In the second round of the singles, which brought about the defeat of William A. Larned by his young rival, Karl H. Behr, Jr., the latter winning in straight sets at 6-4. 6-4 and 7-5. Wright and Ward become the permanent posessors of the priceless gold cups, emblematic of the championship.
