THE WELL BORN
SO innny people, people In the world;
So few great souls, love ordered, well begun,
In answer to the fertile mother need. 1 *
So few who seem
The Image of the Maker's mortal dream,
So many born of mere propinquity.
Of lustful habit, or of accident.
Their mothers felt
No mighty, all-compelling wish to see
Their bosoms garden places
Abloom with tlower faces.
No tidal wave swept o'er them with Its flood,
No thrill of flesh or heart; no leap of blood,
No glowing lire flaming to white desire
For mating and for motherhood, <
Yet they bore children.
God! how mankind misscsThy command
To populate the earth.
How low is brought high birth,
How low the woman, when, inert as spawn,
Left in the sands to fertilize,
She is the means through which the race goes on.
Not so the First Intent.
Birth, as the Supreme mind conceived it. meant
' The clear. Imperious call ol mate to mate,
And the clear answer. Only thus and then
Are fine, well ordered and potential lives
Brought into being. Not by church or state
Can birth be made legitimate,
Unless.
I,ove in its fulness bless.
Creation so ordains its Ictty laws »
» That man, while greater in all other things.
Is lesser in the generativo cause.
The father may be merely man, the male!
Yet more than female must the mother be.
The woman who would fashion
Souls for the use of men and angels meet,
Must entertain a htgh ana holy passion.
Not rank or wealth, or influence of kings
Can give a soul Its dower
Of majesty and power.
Unless the mother brings
Great love to that great hour.
JUST exactly what this correspon
dent may mean by his plea Is not
made clear in his petition.
I come to you pleading for the bad
ly born, whom society brands and
marks and sears, withering and wilt
ing their name and making outcasts
of them. There seems no one to
epeak for them so they too man be
wholesome and clean.
Oh, transllgure this cry carried on
the wings of burdened sorrow to
thine ear into a song of sympathy,
lighting up the drear pathway of tho
badly born and turning the damp gray
hovering over them into a fairer, bet
ter day.
There are many, many badly born
people on earth.
There are few well born.
Society does not "brand or mark,
or sear" most of the badly born, for
very many of the worst born are In
society.
By worst born Is meant those who
are born from parents who married
without love and who brought chil
dren into the world without its legiti
mate stamp—the Divine Hall Mark of
birth.
The most important thing In birth
Js to be born of a mother who loved
the father of her child, and who there
fore loved her unborn child and re
joiced in motherhood.
Only a very small percentage of
Euch children can be found in any
community or any class.
In fashionable society love mar
riages occur, now and then. And in
those love marriages, now and then
a child is born which is desired and
welcomed. But that is the exception
to the rule prevailing in such circles.

No need, friend, to suffer from the frightful pain of acute back

Liniment lay it gently on (no rubbing required) and see how
quickly it soothes and quiets, bringing rest and ease to aching,
twinging nerves and muscles. But be sure to get the right lini

CASTORIA For Infants and Children, Bears the „
Tin Kind You Have Always Bought
Just as It is the exception to the
rule in royal circles.
Princesses and princes have their
marriages arranged for them usually,
and the children born to such par
ents are not well born, not stamped
with the Divine Hall Mark, even when
they have been desired.
Yet they ofttimes receive the honors
of earth.
A child born to parents who are
Inharmonious, and who do not wel
come the coming of the child, is In
deed badly born.
Children born of parents who are
diseased. In body or mind, and badly
born.
Yet there is no being so badly born
who may not rise to usefulness, power
and happiness. If A FULL CON
SCIOUSNESS OF HIS DIVINE IN
HERITANCE FROM the SOURCE of
all life takes possession of his mind
and dominates his thoughts and
actions continually.
Let such a one say every morn
ing on rising:
"I am a Divine Being, No matter
what conditions prevent my bearing
the stamp of Right Birth. I am Di
vine; I have a right to God's opul
ence: power, peace, plenty are mine.
All hindrances to my possession of
health, wealth and usefulness are
swept (away. lam circled by Invisible
Helpers and they shall lead me Into
my Kingdom. I have my heart's de
sire."
Let this assertion be repeated every
night before falling asleep.
And the badly born shall suddenly
come into a new birth and stand
among the well born. For mind Is
greater than matter and God Is over
All.

"Two-two
"This is two-two Main, the Jones
plant," he Informed the operator. "All
right. Qet them for me as quickly as
you can."
After hanging up the receiver he
turned gravely to Josle. "There must
be some mistake about this," he assur
ed her. Evidently he was seriously
worried about the charge of favoritism
brought against his Arm.
"I have all the correspondence, if
you'd like to see it."
"I'd like to very much."
"I'll have it here In a very few min
utes. Excuse me."
Fortunately for his telephonic en»
deavors there had been a period of
quiet in the outer factory. But now,
as the crowd approached across the
vast workroom adjoining, from a visit
to the other portions of the plant, the
roar of cheering was renewed. He
went to the door and opened It, look
ing Into the workroom. Almost at the
door were the Judge and Mrs. Spots
wood and, just behind them, Broad
way. They were smiling happily and
proudly. He was somewhat wilted,
but elated. He rushed forward, grasp
ing Wallace's hand, greatly to the
latter's surprise.
"I've shaken hands with everybody
In the world," said Broadway.
CHAPTER XII.
The celebration over, the mill once
more settled down to that Industrial
peace which Is accompanied by the
deafening roar of machinery, the
clamor of the busy hammer on the
nail, sinking home in packing boxes,
the shouts of workingmen and women
forced to thrust their words above the
Btrident medley which surrounds them.
There was new life In the old mill,
new confidence had taken place of
fear and fierce antagonism in the
hearts of hundreds, an esprit de corps
had been born suddenly such as had
not existed In that factory for many
years. In one happy sentence of his
bashful speech Broadway had struck a
keynote. He had said:
"And —er — now, you fellows, keep
your brains—er —busy with this situ
ation. I have bucked the Trust. I've
bucked the Trust for you and the old
town. Now if you don't help me beat
It to the ropes, stagger It, blind It,
pulp It, put it down and out as the all
powerful force in the gum-industry,
It's going to wipe me off the map, and
when I'm wiped you're wiped.
"I've fought for you, and lota of
folks will say I am a fool for doing It
If you start In and fight for me; If
we both fight heart and soul and night
and day to win against the wildest
competition that was every known In
chewing-gum, we WILL win. Anything
else means our sponge in the air and a
call for doctors and an ambulance, or
more likely, undertaker, for Jones'
Pepsin Gum, its owner and the men
who work for him."
These words had struck home. The
workmen had all understood their
trut,h; furthermore, they fully recog
nized the justice of the burden Broad
way laid upon them. Workingmen are
fair; they are fairer in old, little towns
like Jonesvllle than they are in great
Industrial centers, where the element
of personality has passed out of in
dustry and the worker Is a cog, while
the owner is an unseen and mysterious
The men had shouted wildly
that they all would help and meant it.
After he had left the shops they had
reiterated among themselves the
pledges of their fealty, and they meant
them then.
Sweethearts, that day in the Jones
plant, would have scornfully rejected
sweethearts who showed any sign of
treason to the young proprietor; fa
thers would have thrashed a son who
sneered at Broadway; mothers would
have chided daughters (more likely
would have spanked them fiercely)
who offered slurs upon what had oc
curred. The capacity of mixers, cook
ers, drawers, molders, cutters, stack
ers, wrappers, packers, boxers, ship
pers increased as If by magic. For
their hearts were in thair work; they
were hustling for the boss who had
declared bis firm intention of hustling
for his workers.
Therefore in the works everything
buzzed and hummed and banged and
clattered with a pleasurable and con
tagious enthusiasm. In the ofilce there
was a warm glow of satisfaction, but
Broadway's smile, after the ladles had
departed, Clara and her mother to
make calls and pass the joyful news
about the town triumphantly, Josie to
attend to necessary details of her du
ties, became somewhat weaker than
it had been.
He had gone into the flght, but was
be going to win the fight? It was fine
to fight, undoubtedly, but it would be
yalnful to get licked. His knowledge
of the business world was amply rep
resented by the figure "0." The Trust's
knowledge of the business world was
represented by the figure "0" and then
another figure "0," the two preceded
by the figure "1."
They knew 100 per cent, of that
game of which he knew absolutely
nothing. He had defied them, shied
hla hat Into the ring, and now was
obliged to chastise them drastically.
He sighed, thrust his neck out stiffly,
and said, trying to be cocky, but, now
that the excitement had died down,
realizing that it would be easy to be
gloomy:
"Funny Pembroke Isn't here."
He proposed to scorn that person,
he was keyed up to a mighty candle
power of hot contempt, but he waited
to get at It, get It over with, oefore
his energy had oozed away.
"He'll be along," said Wallace.
"Is It eleven, yet?"
"Just"
Out came Broadway'* neck again,
He was even rather nervous. "What
are we going to say to him when he
gets here?"
"Remember that you promised to let
me handle him," said Wallace warn
ingly. "He thinks I'm your secretary."
The judge saw that they were wor
ried. "If you boys want to talk things
over I'll skip along."
"No, stay here, judge," Broadway
urged. "We may need a lawyer."
The judge's face glowed with his
satisfaction.
"We're just waiting for Pembroke,"
said Wallace.
"Pembroke! Oh, yes; some of the
men told me that he is la town.
What's he coming here for?"
"To try to give us a whole lot o<
money," Wallace answered. "But we're
not going to take it." He grinned up
at Broadway. "We don't need it, do
we?"
Jackson looked at him with mourn
ful eyes, recollecting all the bills ha
had left behind in New York city.
"Don't make me laugh. I didn't sleep
well."
The judge saw his young friend's
Increasing discomfort. "You've madei
the people of this town very happy to
day, my boy. You ought to sleep well
after this. They owe you a great
debt."
Jackson passed the compliment, but
winced. "Please don't talk about debts!
Let's get on a cheerful subject." With
a sickly effort to relieve his mind he
turned to Wallace. "How's the bar.
ber?"
The judge seized this opportunity
to extol a local genius. "Ain't he a
nice fellow, though?"
"Yes," said Wallace dryly, "he cut
Taft's hair once."
"I shouldn't be surprise," the judge
assented heartily. "He's from Hart
ford."
His remarkable appreciation of the
dignity and glories of the little cities
was a continual joy to the two friends,
who smiled across his nodding head at
one another.
Wallace looked around appreciative,
ly. "The old gentleman had pretty
nice offices here."
"Yes," the Judge agreed. He nod
ded toward the desk at which Broad
way had carelessly taken his position.
"Seems strange not to see him sit
ting at that desk." He sighed. "Firßt,
old Oscar Jones sat there, and he
died; then John sat there, and he died;
then Andrew sat there, and he died;
now—"
Broadway, who had listened to the
brief but tragical recital with expand
ing orbs, got up, and, as he edged
away from the too fatal piece of office
furniture, eyed it with suspicion and
distaste. "That's the last time I'll sit
there," he declared.
But Judge Spotswood had not seefl
the byplay and did not hear the youth's
resolve. He was launched on reminis
cence. "H.ery man in the plant loved
the old gentleman. They all feel
mighty bad. Just think —he was alive
72 hours ago, and now the whole
town's in mourning!"
It was at this juncture that Higglns,
a new and happy Higglns, entered,
cap in hand, respectfully. He was
smiling genially. "Excuse me, Mr.
Jones, the men want to know if you
have any objection to their celebrat
ing tonight."
He bowed respectfully to Josle, who
entered at that moment.
"They're thinking of having a torch
light parade and fireworks in honor
of your taking up thingß at the works.
Is it all right?"
The judge beamed happily. What
could be more significant of the new
day which had dawned on Jonesvllle
than this speech from Hlggins, erst
while the dissatisfied, the complalner?
"That's a bully idea!" he exclaimed
enthusiastically.
Wallace and Jackson looked at one
another in a pleased appreciation. It
was Josle who instlnotlvely saw the
flaw which had escaped the horde of
workmen in the shops and which now
escaped the four there in the office.
"Why, judge!" said she, shocked and
scandalized.
"What's the matter?"
But Joaie would not even look at
him. In a reproachful voica she turn
ed to Hlgglns. "Tell the men to do
nothing of the kind," she Bald with
emphasis. "Don't they realize what
has happened? How can they foifeet
BO quickly?"
Now a light burst, even upon Hlg
glns. "Oh, that's so, I'll have to re
mind them of that!"
Wallace was still puxzled, but Broad
way was beginning to understand.
"By George," said the judge, "I top
got all about it myself!"
A bright light bursting upon Wal
lace, he went to Jones and slapped
him on the back. "The king is dead,"
he quoted, "long live the king!"

your blood gets thin and you become weak, ready to be a prey to the disease

LESSON X—PART 11.
BREATHINQ: ITS RELATION TO
HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Out-of-door exercise, golfing, rowing,
tennis, long walks when done under
proper oonditlons and with the skin
properly protected, are beautifying as
well as health giving. These pleasant
things, however, demand a certain
amount of leisure and many woman
are not able to indulge In tbem for
that reason. In such oases breathing
exercises should be taken up regularly
night and morning. These need not
take much time —20 minutes a day, di
vided into two parts is sufficient—
and, if a moderate amount of out-of
door exercise is taken in conjunction,
marked improvement in both health
and appearance will be noted.
The Yogi Bystem.
The Yogi system of philosophy in
cludes the habit of rhythmical breath
ing to be practiced daily or whenever
the nerves are out of normal tension.
The devotees lie flat on the floor, body
relaxed and arms outstretched, inhal
ing and exhaling regularly, counting
tour with every breath.
I also reoommeod the following
breathing exercises for those who suf
fer from nervous exhaustion or from
recurring nervous attacks which mo
mentarily disable the subject from
work:
Lie flat on the bed or sofa in as
comfortable a position as possible,
and loosen the clothing, if It in any
way restricts the breathing. Inhale
and exhale slowly ten times, concen
trating attention on the palms of the
hands with the idea that you are ab
sorbing the air in that way. Next
concentrate the attention on the soles
of the feet, and inhale and exhale
deeply ten times. For the next tern
Inhalations and exhalations concen
trate the mind on the elbows, as If the
air were entering the body In this way,
and then at the xnee joints. To finish,
take twenty deep breaths, slowly in
haling and exhaling, imagining that
the air is entering and leaving by
every pore in the entire body.
These exercises, like the Yogi exer
cises, improve the blood, as do all
breathing exercises, and they have as
irell a hypnotic influence on the mind.
They will ward off nervous spells, and
in many cases arrest them, but they
are not necessary for the normal sub>

not in actual pain, she would become
