to plutocracy on the one hand and
to communism on the other. It is
opposed to imperialism in the Phil¬

has no alliance with powerful cor
porate interests ; neither is it in
league with demagogues who dis¬
turb societyandagitatefor the mere
sake of agitation. It does not re¬
gard the possession of wealth as a
crime, nor even a badge ot honor;
nor does it consider ‘ poverty as
a disgrace or a virtue. It makes no
war upon classes, but opposes cor¬
rupt and vicious systems aud meth¬
ods wherever they are to be found.

‘isms’ of the hour.

to adhere to the fundamental prin¬

paths of science. “It is claimed,
you know, that the curious skin
configuration on the ball of the
thumb is never the same in any
two people, and that it never
changes from birth to death. The
first statement is, of course, cor¬
rect, as no human being in the
world is exactly like any of his
fellows, and the same thing can be

of my own thumbs several years

while rowing on the lake. As
usual the skin peeled off, and it oc¬
curred to me one day to take a new
impression and see whether the
fresh surface was an exact fac¬
simile of the old. I was astonish¬

preconceived ideas of the immuta¬
bility of the mark were

value the mark might have had for
identification purposes was entire!;

of the thumb to develop little hor¬

use tools, and eventually the creas¬

A man can no more be success¬

than can a man be happy with a
wife he does not love.
Enthusiasm is the power which
impels men onward in any and

But to pull against the tide they

Drifting, however, does not win
the race, either in business or

the long pull, the strong pull, and
the pull with vigor.
Men in business today have no
easy task. There is a great deal to
discourage-ntid very little to en

Under such conditions it is no
wonder so many either fail alto¬
gether or eke out a mere existence.
The antidote for despair is en¬
