Another thing decided in the same high
place is that happiness is the result of splr-
ttual condition and not of earthly environ-
meut. If we who may sometimes have a

All . the gold of earth (u one chunk cannot
purchase five minutes of complete satis-
faction. Worldly success is anatmosphere Jeal-
that breeds the maggots of envy and

never forgive you if you have more emolu¬

To take you down is the dominant wish
of most of those who are not as hlgli as you

A dying President of the United States
said mauy years ago in regard to Ills Ufa-
time of experience, ‘‘It doesn’t pay.” The
leading statesmen of America In letters of
advice warn young men to keep out of
polities. Many of the most successful
have tried in vain to drown their trouble
in strong drink. On the other hand, there
uro millions of people who on departing but

good name and a life Insurance whose
illumined faces are indices of illumined

wrong. That is a principle settled ln
U Another
thing decided in that high place
is that this world is a schoolhouse or col-
lege for splendid or disgraceful grmlua-
tion. We begin in the freshman class of
good or evil and then pass into the sopho-
more aud then into the junior and then
Into the senior, and from that we graduate
angels or devils. In many colleges there ls
an “elective course,” where the student
selects what lie will study—mathematics
or the languages or ohemistry or philoso-
phy—and it Is an elective course we all
take In the sehoolhouse or university of
this world.
We may study sin until we are saturated
with it or righteousness until we ace exem-
plillcatious of it. Graduate we all must,
but we decide for ourselves the style of
graduation. It is an elective course. We
can study generosity until our every word
and every act and every contribution of
money or time will make the worid better,
or we may study meanness until our soul
shall shrink up t) a smallness unimagina-
ble.
tVe may .under God, •ducate ourselves in¬
to a self control that nothing eau anger or
into an irascibility that will ever and anon
keep our face flushed with wrath aud every
nerve a-qulver. Great old sehoolhouse of
a world in which we are all being educated
for glory or perdition!
Some have wondered why graduation
day in college is'called ‘’commencement
day” when it is the last day of college es-
ercises, but graduation days are properly
called commencement day. To all the
graduates It is the commencement of active
lite, and our graduation day from earth
will be to us commencement of our chief
life, our larger life, our more tremendous
life, our eternal life. But what a day eom-
meneement day on earth is! The student
never sees any day like it. At any rata, I
never did.
When Pompey landed at Brindisi, Italy,
returned from hts victories, he disbanded
the brave men who had fought under him
nnd sent them rejoicing to their home3,
and, entering Rome, his emblazoned
ehariot was followed by princes in chains
from kingdoms ho had conquered, and
flowers such as only grew under those
Italian skies strowed the way, and he
came under arches inscribed with the
numas of battlofleldj on which he had
triumphed and rode by columns which
told of the 1500 cities ho had destroyed
and the 12 000,000 people he had eon-
quered or slain. Then the banquet was
spread, and out of the chalices tilled to
the brim they drank to the health of the
conqueror. Belisarius, the great soldier,
returned from tits military achievements
and was robed ln purple, and in the pro-
cession were brought golden thrones aud
pillars ot precious stones and the turnl-
ture ot royal feasts, and amid the spleu-
dors ot kingdoms overcome he was hailed
to the hippodrome by shout3 such as had
seldom rung Jthrough the capital. Then
also ciirae the convivialities. In the year
374 Aurelian made his entrance to Rome in
triumphal car, in whioh he stood while a
wlnged figure of Victory held a wreath
above his head. Zenobia, captive chariot, queen of
Palmyra, walked behind his her
person encircled with fetters of gold, un¬
der the weight of which she nearly fainted,
but still a captive. And there were in the
procession 200 lions and tigers and beasts
of many lauds and 1000 gladiators excused
from the cruel amphitheater that they
might decorate the day, and Persian and
Arabian and Ethiopian embassadors were
in the procession aud the long lines of cap¬
tives, Egyptians, Syrians, Gauls, Goths and
Vandals.
It was to such scenes that the Now Tes¬
tament refers when it spoke ot Christ
"having despoiled principalities and pow¬
ers, He made a show of them, openly tri¬
umphing.” But, oh, the difference in
those triumphs! Tne Roman triumph rep¬
resented arrogance, cruelty, oppression
and wrong, but Christ’s triumph meant
emancipation and holiness and joy. The
former was a procession of groans accom¬
panied procession by a clank of chains, millions the other a
of hosannas by set for¬
ever free. The only shackled ones ot
Cbrist’3 triumph will be satan aud his
cohorts tied to our Lord’s chariot wheel,
with all the abominations of all the earth
bound for an eternal captivity. Then will
come a feast in which the chalices
will be filled "with the new wine ot
the kingdom.” Under arches commemora¬
tive of all tho battles in which the bannered
armies of the church militant through 1
thousands of years of struggle have at last
won the day Jesus will ride. Conqueror of
earth nnd hell and heaven. Those armies,
disbanded, will take palaces and thrones.
“And they shall come from the East and
the West and the North and the South and
sit down ln the kingdom of God.” And

MR, ASTOR'S SOLITARY LIFE
Sees Few Americans and Seldom Goes Out

William Waldorf Astor, owner of the
Pall Mall Gazette, according to a Lon¬
don dispatch, leads a very solitary life.
He goes down to his office at 11:30
each morning. There he attends to hie

or the business manager of the papers.
After lunch, about 2:30, he gets the
first edition of the Pall Mall Gazette,
which he goes over with his secretary,
making criticisms and suggestion.
Then __, he sets - A+e to his iu llteraiy aM rv wnrtr work,

SHEEP DRINK AND DIE,
OnsMan Loses 4,000 by Permitting Them
to Have Too Much Water.
“In the southern part of New Mexi¬
co,” remarked A. G. Muller of Taos,
“is a great deert. sThe early Spanish
adventurers named the desert the
‘Jouruado del muerto,’ the journey of
death.
“A friend of mine recently attempted
a daring feat on the desert. He had a
flock of 20,000 sheep on the border of
Mexico, and resolved to drive the sheep
across the desert into the pastures of
New Mexico, which were reported to
bo in unusually good condition at the
time. The journey across the desert
required seven days. The weather
was insufferably hot, and not a drop
of water was to be found ln the entire
distance. Lneklly, the hot winds which
often carry death in their breath, did
not materialize during the week of the
trip, and the tedious Journey was ac¬
complished without any loss. On
reaching the northern boundary of the
desert a river of cool, flowing water
was reached. The sheep plunged in
and dMttk to their fill. As a result
4,000 sheep died ln a few hours.
“It was a great mistake,” said the
'sheep man, “for the drivers to allow
the sheep to drink so heavily. If they
had kept the flock ln motion crossing
the stream no danger would have been
inflicted. Once I drove a big flock two
days and a half in hot weather, with¬
out reaching a single stream of water.
Knowing that we were about to cross
a small'river I directed the drivers un¬
der no circumstances to permit the
sheep to stop ln crossing the stream.
We got through in good shape and suf¬
fered no loss whatever. From years
of experience on the ranges of the
Southwest I am convinced the sheep
can do without water for two or three
days at a time without permanent in¬
jury. If sheep are watered once in two
days they will get along well enough.”

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,
as mercury wiU surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do ls ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney A Co.,
Toledo. O., contains no mercury, and is taken
Internally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In buying
Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure to get the genuine.
It ls taken Internally, and is made ln Toledo,
Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.

The way women triffe with health
8 hows a degree of indifference that Is
past understanding. Happiness and use-
fulness depend on physical health; so
does a good disposition. Disease makes
women nervous, irritable and snap-
pish. The very effort of ailing women
to be good-natured makes them ner-
vous. Write to Mrs. Pinkham, she will
help you to health and happiness. ,*

advice. Her address is Lynn, Mass.
