Forty years ago the following advertisement appeared In a Tillage newspaper: i Wasted. A willing boy wants work. ! The boy who paid for that ad. la rich now. He says he made his fortune that day when he advertised. Which is suggestive. I For It is true that the man who makes a fortune makes It more by Ettlng his first thousand than by addI his last thousand, because he has taken the first decisive step toward prosperity; he has proved his ability to succeed. I Opportunity is something. But opportunity PLUS the MAN who la WILLING to USE IT is more. I When that boy put his first adverBsement in that paper he served no(tlca to his little world that he proposed to find his opportunity and use it. He (was not only willing, but eager, to bare his chance. I The boy got his job. And he measured up to it. He held that job until ft better one was offered him. . Boy. young man! Do not inveigh against Providence or l"luck" or the hardness of the world. PITCH IN. Even if the world does "owe you a living," which is doubtful, REMEMBER YOU MUST COLLECT IT YOURSELF. In every avenue of life those whose service is at a premium are those who are willing to work. By their willingness they have made themselves Invaluable. Whoever employs them feels he cannot dispense with their service (without loss. Because . Willingness to work argues that the worker will put heart and skill Into bis task. He will master his job. He will work intelligently and zealously. And so. when the slack time comes, whoever goes, the willing worker stays. MANY PERSONS DISCHARGE THEMSELVES. Everywhere nowadays the cry goes up from employers, "Give us capable, willing helpers." Employers tell us It is really difficult to find boys and men who will take a personal Interest in their work. Is that true? If so, what an opening for willing workers! Not the sort who keep their eyes on the clock, not the port who give themselves grudgingly to the task, not the sort who sre the least service for the largest wage, pat what a chance for willing, hearttfuL enthusiastic workers! The wining worker puts his work; first and his wages last. Therefore the willing worker except In rare intervale always Is able to find wort. A MODERN MARTYR. - Clara Litlnsky, a native of southern Russia, born and bred a Jewess, killed herself because she believed her race was slipping away from Its religious faith. Strange thing to cause the suicide of a young girl! But this girl had the religious conviction of a Deborah. In the factory where she worked were many of her race, but they were Indifferent to religious matters. They thought nothing of working on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, but this girl mourned in spirit because the Sabbath of patriarch, prophet and priest was thus desecrated. x That was the first great shock. Religion had always been to her a natter of first consideration. In this country, it seemed to her, dollars came first. In her estimate faith outweighed material things. The religious Indifference of her coreligionists weighed heavily on her spirit. Mind you, this girt believed in her religion. , Perhaps nof one will ever know of the ecret tears shed by this poor maiden and the secret prayers she offered up tears for her people, prayers that they might be held guiltless of their neglect of ancient usages. Perhaps no one will ever know the sinking of her soul as she felt the very earth slipping beneath her. And, to add to her suffering, there were the gibes and jokes of her companions, who were amused by poor , Clara Lttlnsky's fidelity to the faith. The misery of it all broke her heart. She yearned for the old home. The fare might be homely there, but at home religion was still a reality. She did not have money enough to take her back to Russia only enough to buy carbolic acid. Yon do not understand it? No. Perhaps the faith of your fathers, whatever it may have been, has been long discarded. You have settle down IntQjia.bltuaV.listlessness, a

sort "of -pTaOTcaT a jnosflc&m: But In this Jewish maiden's soul materialism tried to strangle faith, and the struggle rent her spirit. Oh, aye, there are martyrs nowadays!

His father, C. E. Keever, has been named as successor. A TITLE AND A UNIFORM. How Colonel Johnson Got the One and Bought the Other. "Where did you get your military title?" was asked of Colonel Johnson. "Charlie Culberson made me take it when he was governor of Texas," replied the Houston editor. "I told him I might have to wear a title, but I'd be hanged if I'd wear a uniform. One day I met the governor on the street, and he said, 'Hello, Bill.' " 'Hello, Charlie,' I replied. "'Is that the proper manner to ad dress your commanding officer? he demanded sternly. 'Stand up straight, salute and say "Governor." Where's your uniform?' " 'The office isn't worth $125 of gold lace,' I replied hotly. "'About face! March!' commanded the governor, and he marched me into a tailor shop. ' 'Make this man a colonel's uniform and send the bill to me,' he said. "I couldn't stand for that, so I said. 'I give you to understand, sir, if I've got to be a colonel I can buy my own uniform and put on as much gold lace as any man in Texas.' "That's how I came to be a colonel and to have for sale cheap as fine a military uniform as ever was made in the south." Exchange. Women and New Money. The cashier, as usual, paid the loom boss in new money crisp, sweet smelling bank notes that it was pleasant to handle. "But why is it, George," he asked, "that you insist upon new money always? I know you hand every cent of it to your wife." The loom boss chuckled. "It's easy to see you ain't a married man, Will," said he. "Otherwise you'd know woman's nature better and wouldn't need to be told (the advantage of taking home new money to the wife. The explanation is, Will, that women are so fon,d of new money that they hate to part with it. It makes them economical. They bargain for this, they deny themselves that, and the upshot is that at the end of each week they have a tidy little sum, all brand new, put by in a stocking or a teapot. It pays. Will, to give the wife new money. It pays something like 20 per cent." Philadelphia Bulletin. The Order of Fools. April 1 is not the only fools' day in the year. On November 12, 1381, the Order of Fools was instituted by Adolphus, count of Cleves. Members were not by any means idiots, however, for the word had a different meaning then. They were the prototype of our modern Order of Foresters or Odd Fellows, doing a similarly benevolent work. Their insignia consisted of a mantle, upon the left shoulder of which was embroidered a jester, or fooL in cap and bells, yellow hose and silver vest. So these cheery, useful jokers had a bright,' happy outlook upon life and met together to dispense the earnest of their healthful existence at stated Intervals, the chief day of which was Nov. 12. London Chronicle. ' Origin of Cards. The origin of cards lies far back in the hidden antiquity of Asia, no record so far having been found to unravel the source. It was from the distant orient ' that cards, along with chess, were first introduced into southern Europe, Spain and Italy especially. The earliest of these cards have been lost unfortunately and no record of them preserved.

BUILDING TAX 2 PER CENT ITALIAN GOVERNMENT HAS HIT UPON PLAN FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF REFUGEES OF CATASTROPHE. Rome, Jan. 9. The parliamentary committee, which is examining the measures proposed by the government in the chamber of deputies, has modified them with the consent of the cabinet. The changes provide that the building taxation be 2 per cent for five years instead of 5 per cent for two years, and that the earthquake zone be exempted from a building tax for fifteen years. A further provision is that all unclaimed valuable in the devastated district be devoted by the government to the relief of the survivors. The first work by American sailors in the stricken region is now being done by jackies landed from the gunboat Scorpion, which sailed from Constantinople. These sailors are now in Messina, but owing .to the decision to cut off the relief work here the Americans are doing little more than attend to the needs of a number of injured persons. They have set up headquarters near the ruins of the American consulate. Dr. George C. Rhoades, surgeon of the Scorpion, is in charge of the work. 1 American Girl's Experience. Miss May Sherman of Elizabeth, N. J., who was active in the measures undertaken at Taormina for the relief of the earthquake sufferers, and who now is in Rome, today described the condition of the refugees who came under her observation. Some of the wounded, she said, were so seriously hurt that there was very little chance of their reaching Catania alive. They were therefore taken from the train and given every possible attention at Taormina. Four of the wounded died during the first two days. "All the bakers of Taormina," Miss Sherman went on, "were kept at work making bread, and they were paid by contributions from the foreign colony. We all did everything possible to obtai clothing to cover the shivering and naked people. There were many, children among the refugees who had been made orphans by' the earthquake. Refugees Were Grateful. "A Mrs. Welch, who had intended going to Messina the day before the earthquake, saved her life by postponing her departure. Mrs. Welch has taken charge of a little girl refugee, evidently of gentle birth, and if she is not claimed will "adopt the child. "Lady Hill and her daughter, who have a school at Taormina, in which they teach embroidery, gae themselves up to nursing and caring for the sufferers, receiving some in their own villa. "I was much struck by the behavior of the refugees. They seemed dazed with terror and suffering, but they were absolutely uncomplaining. They were ready to share whatever was given them with each other and even those that were suffering the most did not neglect to thank us for the kindnesses shown." REVIVAL WILL Bt HELD SOON Evangelist Brown Coming to The Christian Church. Revival services at the Christian church will begin about January SO by the pastor Rev. S. W. Traum, assited by Evangelist Roy L. Brown, Bellefontaine, O. Rev. Brown is now conducting revival services at Lima, O., and has been having much success.

UP VERMONT WAY. Fountain City, Jan. 9. "Up Vermont Way" will be presented at the K. of P. temple by local talent, the evening of January 15.

Kellam uncovered a den of skunks. Seven animals were removed. The pelts brought $12.

When Your Pastor Falls Down Would You Get Another One ? Many Congregations When They Employ a Minister Believe He Should Have All Qualifications of the "Ideal," but Impossible, Human Being.

The Interior, a Chicago church pub lication in a recent issue contained the following article of great interest to hundreds of Richmond people. What do you do in your church when your preacher falls down? No, this isn't any slur on the preach er. Being just one human man on a job big enough for a half dozen superhumans, he's only too certain to fall down somewhere sooner, or later. Asking what you mean to do in that case isn't slurring him; its just insisting on your giving him the square deal that he is entitled to. The popular way of meeting such a situation is to turn the preacher off and get another. That might be fair enough if the pas tor's job was just one plain job that one set of qualifications was sufficient for. Then when he failed in that one line, you'd be justified in saying it was all off that he had missed his calling. If a carpenter can't fit two boards together he'd better go and heave coal; fitting boards is all there is to carpentering. . So with most occupations; they are single, narrow lines. But the business of befng a preacher is different; it's about a hundred lines wrapped up in one man's task, and its beyond any decent and reasonable human requirement to expect any one Individual to come out with a hundred per cent success on all of them. Just give a minute's clear and honest thought to what variety of abilities a minister's position demands of him. He needs to be a smooth, fluent orator. He ought to have not merely words, but ideas too; he very decidedly needs to be a thinker. He needs a book knowledge theology, philosophy, history and the like but it won't do for him to read books all the time people won't stand for him unless he is much of a miser perfectly at home among men. And of course the modern preacher should be an organizer masterful as a general in fitting people into the places where they belong. He doesn't dare, however, to show a bit of the general's spirit of command: he's bound tomanage people wholly by persuasiveness which takes enormous persuasiveness. The preacher should be an acute.1 accurate, discreet business man in order to keep the church "temporalities" out of tangle. And above all he must be a spiritually minded man, though at the same time it is highly Important that he must not be a visionary; people won't listen to him if he is not practical. Just see what a tremendous bundle of qualities you've got. You could could make a lawyer, a politician, a business man. a teacher, a settlement worker, a popular lecturer, an author, a philosopher, a man-around-town, an ascetic, a military commander, all out of that combination, and have a lot of qualities left over to distribute along a whole line of occupations from family physician to church janitor. Yet you are supposing that you've hired the whole combination in the pastor of your church, and are expectlac to get the benefit of each of these

Seven Years Ago The IHIoosler Started Bn Business at Gorner Sixth and CVJain Sts.

In a single room with a total working force of four people the proprietor and three clerks. Today we occupy the entire building with a working force of 16 people. There is really no secret about it. The whole thing amounts to this: Our plan of handling the mercantile question meant success. The old teaching that "IF A MAN WOULD BE GREATEST OF ALL, LET HIM BE THE SERVANT OF ALL," is as valid today as it ever was, and as sound a principle in business as it is in morals. We are making this business a phenomenal success by doing what so many people said seven years ago could not be done selling goods absolutely for cash and for one price, meaning a saving for all cash buyers from ten to twenty per cent.

various elements of strength all out of one man. But you won't; anywhere in the list you're due for a disappointment. If your minister is a great preacher, its mo-e than likely he won't be very strong on organization. If he is a gentle, comforting pastor, he may be a good deal lacking in the pulpit. If he is a deep student, he may be awkward among men. If he is a hearty good fellow to meet, he may Impress you as not very deep intellectually or even spiritually. Some day before long you'll find a weak side to him. The question is. What are you going to do about it when you make the discovery? Follow the ordinary way and hint to the preacher that its time for him to move on? Well, you'll not better the matter that way. The next preacher will have his weakness, too. And you'll do a rank injustice to ' the man you drive, away. No man should be driven out of a pastorate for his defects of ability. There are only , four good reasons for shoving out a preacher his being lazy, being silly, being selfish, or being morally crooked. When a minister lacks honor, selfsacrifice, industry or horse sense any one he's not fit for anybody's pastorate. But all other deficiencies than these are curable. Many of them the preacher himself should be able to cure. But all the shortcomings that the minister either can't cure or doesn'tcure these . . xt. i i x . i- - m are up iu ins cuunu iu iaKe tare ui. Every church when it calls a new pastor, ought to watch narrowly to see where he is going to fall down. But not to get a chance to complain God forbid. When the pastor falls down, then the church has discovered i where it can help him. If the preacher shows up inefficient in organizing the people for work, then that's the signal for the men in the church who are strongest in the knack of organization to turn in and line up the membership for effective results. If the pastor seems to get tangled and befuddled when money matters are to be dealt with, then let men used to handling dollars step forward and get the money worry off the pastor's mind. , If the pastor - is slow and timid about calling on strangers and diffident in meeting new comers, the congregation should then go in strong for friendly visiting and handshaking. If the Sunday school laM or the prayer meeting is dull, and the pastor doesn't seem to know what to do about it. let the congregation boom those features of work with their own effort. If the pastor falls down on his preaching, it's harder for the church to fill in that defect which by the way is .reason enough why the pastor should try specially hard not to fall down, there. But even poor pulpit work a live congregation can do a great deal to remedy. They can listen hard: that will inspire the preacher. They can. praise his best abilities; that will encourage

him to cultivate his most valuable gifts. They can lift detail matters off his shoulders; that will give him more time for study. They can give him money for books and conventions; those will freshen him; and they can pray for him. God only knows what that will do. Finally here's a rule for a going and growing church; Count on your pastor's abilities as his chance; count on his Inabilities as your chance.
