And not one of those he criticised so severely Is In the poor house with him. There was a dull man named Lena Whalen the critic was particular ly severe with, but Lena kept at work in his dull way, and Is now a leading citizen. The most important and profitable work a man may engage in is managing himself as efficiently as possible; Intelligent endeavor to avoid harmful A mistake Is a terrible mistakes. thing; a careless man may blunder Into one that will punish him all his life a mild one frequently humiliates for months or years. A noted man named Hnldane, connected with the most famous of England's universities, once wrote that the most Interesting study he knew anything about was his own body. Although familiar with all the sciences, the details of which awe us so much, this highly educated man confesses no scientific experiment Interests him as much, or pays as well, as study of his own body.

The most absurd, useless and unnatural sentence ever written was the advice to love our enemies. No one does It; no one should do It From the beginning of time men have, on proper occasion, hanged enemies for the common good, but some one (who hated his enemies) did not neglect, as a literary novelty," to advise others to love them. I have never been able to understand why more than half that i written or spoken today is wrong, useless and unnatural. American Heroines A lesson with which I have been greatly Impressed Is that everything worth while requires hard work and enthusiasm, no man can succeed at anything and be Idle, shiftless and thoughtless. There Is a man In New York named O. O. Mclntyre wtio has succeeded as a writer. That be Is unusual must be admitted, but It deInpresses me to read of his great dustry. When he walks about, goes to a theater, or to a dinner, he Is at work; looking for something to write about It Is said of the poor farmers that they work from sun to sun. Mclntyre does it, and, In addition, works balf the night. Some one has recently written of the real Thos. A. Edison, who became so famous the entire world paid him tribute. He turns out to have been quite an ordinary man; very untidy, often unreasonable, chewing tobacco constantly and spitting wildly, but he was a great worker. He moved a bed Into his shop that he might economize on the time required for rest; and had a better time working than others have playing. Good work provides th good times we hear of, and are always looking for vainly In vacations, in night clubs, at card tables and on golf fields. 1 . pauled honor.
