It is well known that long continued employment in the service a others of- ten cripples originality and individual- ity. That resourcefulness and inventive- mess which come from perpetual stretching of the mind to meet emer- gencies or from adjustment of means to ends is seldom developed to its ut- most in those who work for others There is not the same compelling mo tive to expand, to reach out, to take risks or to plan for oneself when the programme is made for him by another, Our self made men, who refused to remain employees or subordinates, are the backbone of the nation. They are the sinews of our country's life. They got their power as the northern oak gets its strength, by fighting every inch of its way up from the acorn with storm and tempest. It is the hard schooling that the self made man gets in his struggles to elevate and make a place for himself in the world that de- velops him, Some employees have a pride in working for a great institution. Their identity with it pleases them. But isn't even a small business of your own, which gives you freedom and scope to develop your individuality and to be yourself. better than being a perpetual elerk in a large institution, where you are merely one cog in a wheel of a vast machine? The sense of personal responsibility is in itself a great educator, a powerful schoolmaster. Sometimes young wom- en who have been brought up in luxury and who have known nothing of work when suddenly thrown upon their own resources by the loss of property or compelled even to support their once wealthy parents develop remarkable strength and personal power. Young men, too, sometimes surprise every- body when suddenly left to carry on their father's business unaided. They develop force and power which no one dreamed they possessed. We never know what we can do un- til we are put to the test by some great emergency or tremendous responsibili- ty. When we feel that we are cut off from outside resources and must de- pend absolutely upon ourselves we can fight with all the force of desperation. The trouble with working for others is the cramping of the individuality— the lack of opportunity to expand along | original and progressive lines—because fear of making a mistake and appre | hension lest we take too great risks are eonstantly hampering the executive, the creative, the original faculties.—Sue- Coss, Cap'n Bill's Explanation. After the visitors to the island of Nantucket had covered the course over which sightseers are always conduect- ed, says a writer in the Boston er ald, one of the ladies of the party re- quested that the drive be continued te “Sheep pond.” “The place where the natives used to wash the wool on their sheep in the old days” she supplemented. “Ev. eryhody goes to see it” The driver and guide, Cap'n Bill, looked perplexed. He was evidently puzzled 23 to the location of this inter- esting sheet of water. But an old sailor and town character is rarely nonplused, and presently Cap'n Bill snapped his whip, determination in his | eye. Ile drove to a neighboring hill and stopped Lis horses, “IIere tis,” he said, with a sweep of bis hand. “I con't see any water!” was the gen. eral ezelamation. “Not now,” Cap'n Bill gravely ad- mitted. “You see, the sheep was so dirty that the bloomin' pond got filled up.”—Youth's Companion. ’ The Great Clock at Rouen. The ancient city of Rouen, France, owns the very earliest specimen of the larger varieties of the ancient clock makers’ triumphs. It was made by Jehan de Felains and was finished and | set going in September, 1380. So per- fect in construction is this ancient time | recording machine that, although it has been regularly striking the hours, halves and quarters for centuries, it Is | still used as a regulator. The case of this early horologieal oddity is six feet eight inches in height by five inches broad. Tor 225 years it continued to run without a pendulum, being provid- | od with what the old time clock makers i called a “foliot.” i An Honest Man. l Hiram Stroode for the seventh time was about to fail. He called in an expert accountant to disentagle his books. The accountant after two days’ work announced to Hiram that he would be able to pay his creditors 4 eents on the dollar. At this news the old man looked vexed. “Heretofore,” he said, frowning, “I have always paid 10 cents on the dol tar.” A virtuous and benevolent expres- sion spread over his face. “And I will do so now,” Le resumed. “I will make up the difference out of my own pock: Long Mir utes. “Are you ready, dear?” “In one minute, darling.” | $500, and was to have been shipped !

Manila, March 10.—An important ac- tion between American forces and hos- tile Moros has taken place near Jolo. Fifteen enlisted men were killed, four commissioned officers and 32 enlisted men were wounded and a naval com tivgent operating with the military stvetained losses. Three members of the constabulary operating with the troops were killed, and nearly a score wounded. The Moros lost €00 men killed. Major General Leonard Wood, com- ander of the division of the Philip- pines, reported as follows from Jolo, capital of the Sulu Islands: “A severe action between troops, a paval detachment and constabulary ani hostile Moros has taken place at Mount Dajo, near Jolo. The engage- ment opened during the afternoon of March 6 and ended in the morning of March 8. The action involved the cap- ture of Mount Dajo, a lava cone 2100 feet high, with a crater at its summit and extremely steep. The last 400 feet were at an angle of 60 degrees, and there were 50 perpendicular ridges covered with a growth of timber and strongly fortified and dcfended by an invisible force of Moros. “The army casualties were 18 en- listed men killed, a commissioned offi- cer and four enlisted men wounded. The naval casualties numbered 32. Ensign H. D. Cooke, Jr., of the United States steamer Pampanga, command- ing the Pampanga fort, was severely wounded, and Coxswain Gilmore was severely wounded in the elbow. “The action resulted in the extinc- tion of a band of outlaws who, recog- nizing no chief, had been raiding friendly Moros, and owing to their defiance of the American authorities had stirred up a dangerous condition of affairs.” MEYER FOR THE CABINET Ambassador to Russia Will Be Named For First Vacancy. Washington, March 13.—The per- sonal desires and arrangements of some of the other members of the cab- inet will make necessary some shift- ing about in the president's cabinet in the event that Secretary Taft decides to accept the proffered place on the supreme bench to succeed Justice Brown, and the name of George v. L. Meyer, of Massachusetts, at present ambassador to Russia, has been favor ably considered with the prospect that he will fill the first vacancy. But it | can be stated positively that the pres- | ident himself has not yet definitely | settled just what these changes shall | be. Secretary Taft Is going to New | York Wednesday on business con: rected with the meeting of the Prison | Martyrs’ Association and some other matters that require his attention, and it is expected that his decision will be reached and announced from the | White House Thursday or Friday. In case Secretary Taft does not ac! cept the position offered, Mr. Meyer | will in all likelihood succeed Secretary | Bonaparte, if the latter is transferred | to the department of justice, when | Attorney General Moody retires. Jus | tices Brewer and Harlan had a long | talk with Secretary Taft. VICTIM OF PLOTTERS Cattle On Mrs. Strawbridge's Farm Mysteriously Poisoned. Mount Holly, N.
