No aeries of occasional brief eaaaya upon Success would ba even par tially complete If they did not Include a word upon Daelilcn of Char attar. Decision ot mind, like vigor of body, la a gift of Ood. It la perhaps leaa a moral than a physical temperamant. it cannot be created. But with the germ of It In every man It can be and should be diligently cul tivated. For upon Its exercise hangs the success of men and many times the destiny of nations. The shores of fortune are covered with the stranded wrecks of men of brilliant ability who have wanted courage, faith and decision, and have therefore perished In the wake of more resolute but leaa capable adventurers. There la a race of narrow wits that never get on for want of cour age. Their underalanding la of that halting, balancing kind thnt glvaa a man just enough light to see difficulties and start doubta without tha will to surmount the one or remove the other. Thay do not know what force of character means. They teem to have no backbone but only the mockery nf a vertebral column of India rubber and equally pliant In all directions. They route and go like shadows, apeak like woman, xandwleh their sentences with aiwloglel, are overtaken by events while aim Irreaolute. and suffer the tide to ebb before they push Into the open Napoleon Bonaparte waa perhaps the moat Illustrious example of Dtclalon. Hla mind acted like lightning and‘with him Decision waa la- stant and effective. He declared that he always beat tha Austrians be cause they did not know tho value of five minutes. At Arcela he saved the day by a ruse determined upon tbe Instant and In the very storm or battle. At Rlvoll he plucked victory from dffeat by an armistice raised In the crisis of action. And at Waterloo, alas, he sofferod for a moment su eclipse of the Decision which had alwaya characterized him, and Wellington won because hla Iron resolution haver slept Have you ever seen a squad nf ten policeman awa aad disperse a mob of a thousand? How do they do It? By simply wading right In without a moment's hesitation, without a trace ot Irresolution, going to the center and seising the ringleaders. Decision awes tha mob Ilka magic.

One day Tacon, tha new chief of police, summoned the protect of a department. "How la thla, air?* he said. “A man murdartd at midnight and tha murderers not yet arrested?" "May It please your excellency, It Is Impossible. We do not even know who be Is." Tacon taw the officer waa lying. “Hark you, Mr! Bring ma this man before night or. I will garrote you tomorrow morning." And In a week a woman could walk unseared at midnight through tba streets of Havana. Take the career of the young man. Folk, In 8t. Louis. Where a hun dred timid prosecutors had shruuk abashed from tba appalling work ot corruption, he waded In with clearness and unalterable resolution and In a single term had driven to their holes the boldest municipal robbers In America, saved the city and win fortune and enduring fame. It Is a mighty prop tn Decision to have convlctloaa on essential things. Conviction Is the anchor of a storm, the solvent of a crisis. Men who think nut life tn Its phases; who revolve theories and plana and philosophies of action; who forecast emergencies and formulate policies for future contingencies, are yet weak If they content themselves with revolving; but supremely strong If they anchor themselves to the con viction thet certain things are right, and Decide that In certain emer gencies there la only ona thing to be done—and do It. This I* tha habit of Blind that can ba cultivated by every one. To reflect end to reach a decision which should be Used and unalterable, not In obstinacy but In reeohRlon. Having determined that one way Is the way. tha mind Is no looker distracted or the will weakened by doubts and fean, but goee-llke tha arrow to Its mark. It It lietter to decide wrong occasionally than to be forever waver- Itig ami hesitating, or tossing between the coward waves of fear and doubt. ' "He either fears hie fate too much or trust! It not at all. Who (ears to put It tu tha touch, to win or lose It all." To a greater or lees degree evary man and every woman can culti vate and acquire Decision of character. But tbe sooner they get It the better for the accomplishment. "Are you In earnest. Belie tbit very minute. Wliat you ran do nr think yon can. begin It. Courage has genius, power and magic In It. Only engage, and then tbe mind grows heated- lleglo, and then the work will be completed." Tba Oentleit of Charities. At the world grows older Us chari ties seem to grow more discriminating and swast. Some one baa said In tlmaa gone by that sorrow's crown of sorrow la re membering happier things, and In the aplrit of thla sentiment Is Is doubtless true that those who suffer moat In pov erty are those who have either known more prosperous days or whose spir its have bean so refined hy noble avoca tions aa to be more sensitive to equat or and to discord and to want. The Louise Home In Washington Is one of tbe lovallest charities In all tha world. It waa established by William W. Corcoran, tba groat phil anthropist of Washington, and It ta designed exclusively for those ladles of advanced age and no fortune who have bean born to refinement and ele gant surroundings and who through accident or misfortune have lost tbelr means of support, it li a beautiful and luxurious home, framed for no ble women of the old regime, born to comfort and luxury and reduced to poverty, to whom the poor house would be worse than dtatb. and to whom dependence would be an eating canker In tba bosom of tbelr natural pride. For In thla home every old lady enjoys every comfort that she did In any luxurious home from which she came—elegance of surroundings, every modern convenience, elegant fare—select aoclety, beautiful music and tbe tenderest of attentions ail mark the exquisite and refined phll antbropy of a noble and beautiful old gentleman of colossal wealth who In hla early youth marrlad a woman of thla type and whose early death he mourned for sixty yean of loyal devo tion and tender memories. No man In all our tlmea has paid a swatter and gentler tribute to the woman that he loved than William W. Corcoran haa paid to the beautiful wife of hit youth In the Louise Home at Washington. And here comes another Inetltutlon of the same nobla and discriminating nature. It Is a home for veteran mu sicians and It Is open now In Philadel phia. It came through the Initiative of a Cincinnatian, for Cincinnati per haps In all the country has no supe rior In musical taste, culture and sympathy. Tbe movement was started by Carl W. Grimm, well-known music teacher and author <>r musical works, who Introduced a resolution for auch a home at the music teach ers' national convention In Asheville. N. C., In 1903. He was named chair man of a committee to devise ways and means. Shortly after the commit tee was named Mr. Grimm received a letter from a prominent and wealthy Philadelphia music publisher, giving laaasaaaaaaaasaaaa ABOUT THE GEORGIAN "Thirteen en Die Jury."

The speech of Oovernor-elect Hoke Smlih at Cincinnati was up Io the strong standard of excellence which that notable publlclet haa made for himself upon previous occaelonx, and wee evidently greatly appreciated by the thoughtful men of the great commercial center In which It was delivered.

"FRIDAY THE 13TH," by Thomaa W. Lawson. (Doubleday. Page A Co.) We are continually being Informed that Ihe name, reputation or notoriety of an author has no weight with the pub lishers of this dsy and generation, when along romea soma book from a first-class house that by one fell-sweep wipes out all euch arguments. It Is fair to assume that If "Friday the l.1th" had been offered to any or all of five ttrst-class publishers without Ills "freniled" name nf "Tom Lawson, of Huston." as Itn author, there would have been Just that many pink clips o( regret and return postage used, and ne believe with no undue watls of time or word*. "Friday the Hth" has been compared to "The Pit." by Frank Norris, but there Is no more comparison between these two publications than between llnbrrt Louis Stevenson's "Treaeure Island" nml Stewart Edward While and ftamuel llopklns Adams’ Joint work.

Hut when he reaches that part of hla elaboration of lit* theory of making a billion Uol- Inrs- the gist of the matter being the all-necessary fact of having a sufflclsrit stoke with which to make Ihe other fellow run—It brings to us the thought —If this Is true, end Mr. Lawson aaya he can prove It—why lisa not Mr. I.un- aan or some other "frensled tlnancier" accomplished this very thing?

In hie "Before Adam," a "bflok of racial memory, Mr. London attempts that almost Impoaalbts feat of Impress ing the plaualblttty ot a story ot a dream life and the vitality of Its scheme and the reason or baste thereof.
