DAVID BLUBKY,
100* BROAD STREET
every woman.” Here 1h the kernel of
i!x* matter. It U granted that each
of us h;»s the making of our own char
acter, why not then th»- making of
our own prog re a In every line of en
deavor?
A happy habit fa a good one. Time
was when we were all downcast and
dejected simply because It seemed to
be the proper thing to bo all that.
Now It is very different, f This is
partly because the* weather Is cooler
and more bracing and partly because
the sun fihinr* u golden encourage
mom upon bright new a of all kinds,
but largely because someone some
where has found the bag of smiles
and all of us are desirous of knowing
something of Its contents.
Every da we read In the papers
ometfilng new about the spread of
poverty, and every day we see some
ro w suffering from want or disease.
How then, we ask, can we auMuac* an
optimism th*C Ik not substantially
bused? Th« answer Is that the happy
w,r of looking a» things may be on
a firm foundation even when based on
poverty. A well known writer tells
its:
Robert Hunter’s plausible asser
tion, In bli book f»n poverty, that
there are 10,000.000 Americans on the
ragged edge of want continues to
cause comment and, In Nome quarters,
agitation. It has already been noted
in these columns that u very large
part of this extreme poverty Is among
immigrants not yet ‘fitted in,’ .and
that another large part comes undor
tlx* lx ad of incurable the poor who
are mo through one or more of tlx* four
great causes of poverty Ignorance,
Intemperance, Incompetence and in
ertia
! Further, over against tlx* evils
Which come from privation tnust be
hh the evils which come f r om super*
! fixity. it is no more theory that pov
erty is more likely to produce useful
members of the next generation than
is prosperity, and extreme |»overty is
more favorable than extreme prosper
ity. And while It Is sad and deplor
able that any considerable number of
uh should want, It Is not so sad. not ho
deplorable or so menacing hh the fact
♦ bat so very many Americans are now
being brought up In the most enervat- j
irig luxury and with Ideals which cen
ter about the means of continuing that
luxury.
Property may be the bashi of civil-
Ixntion; but unless property rests up
on character, the loftier the civilisa
tion the shakier and the rot ton or It ;
is.”
Here wo have again the matter of
character, and again wo assert that i
character may be cultivated There
aia* many schools for ith development, i
and sometimes there is no choice in
these, environment and circumstance i
largely controlling then); but there
are certain phases of Character which
wo may develop at will, and a de
termined optimism is one of these.
There are four good rules to be re j
membered in this connection, and the
first Is that life ia never a failure ex
cept to those who are content to ac
cept whatever It may bring Nothing
worth having 'ever comes to the man
who sits Inertly by and waits for it.
The argument might be made tlptt in
herited fortunes always come in this
way. but might it not be said with
equal truth that inherited fortunes
more frequently than not fall to carry j
with them the best good? To make,
the best use of a gift one must priie
ft, and a man prlte* hardest that for
which lx* works hardest. j 1
The second rule is, whatever your
trials, do the host >ou can in spite of
them Nine failures out of ten on
deavor to excuse themselves Oil the
plea that the odds against them were \
too great, and that no man could suc-i
coed when no handlesppe<V The truly
grout men have sure eded because of
these very handicaps tho obstruc
tions and impedimenta that necessi
tated their putting forth their great- j
out Strength
The third rule is. Improve every j
opportunity to do a kind act. It is
no mere idle saying that the truest

Schaui Opening a Brilliant Event
One of the most brilliant events or
the session in the business world was
the opening, last night, of the gorge
oils new Jewelery store of Mr. Lewis
J. Sehnul on the eight hundred block
of liroad street.
In every particular this establish ;
menl Is thoroughly metropolitan and I
strictly up to the moment. What
one might term Its scenic equipment
Is perfect, while Its contents are
quite princely.
The ppetty shop has the effect of
being completely lined wiUi art
glass, alttce the spacious show win ’
dews are entirely cased In It and the j
•ky-llghl is ol the same beautiful
material outlined with countless j
electric lights for use when the sun I
does not Rhine. Hundreds, one Is 1
tempted to helh ve. thousands, ol j
these lights are used In all parts ot !
the store, with an effect of brilliancy |
positively daszling and tlmtlng Its
most bewildering expression tu Vlx
cut glass cabinet which a small
glass surrounded room the crystal
shelves of which are tilled with the
most perfect conceivable master
pieces of the glassware, smart shin
lug like Jewels In the glow of hull
drrds of electric lights
The long cases lining lhe walls on
either aide of the store are filled
with silver of all kinds, solid and
massive, light and airy 111 Us Hit
greed elegance, antique In form and
actuality, modern In design, price
less In material, or In clever Imlta
tlon of the genuine thins. The as
sortment of Kheffteld plate Is enough
to make quite wild with rapture dhe
earnest apprectator ot these things,
and the novelties In the way of beau
tiful tor the table are quite bow-lid
erlng In tlielr intrinsic value, the
beauty of their designs and the vs
riety of their uses.
Mr Sehnul has always had the
reputation tor carrying some of the
most Interesting antiques In stiver
and Jewels In the entire south. Hint
a display of these masterpieces ot
silversmith and the worker in pre
clous stones will make one of th*
happiness IldTln making others happy
It Is a natural, logical thing, for re
llectlon Is everything In these mat
ters Making sunshine In a shady
place means that the maker of that
sunshine Is also to bask hi u« warmth
and bright ness.
The fourth rule is to have faith in
your fellow men. There Is nothing
more broadening, more elevating than
faith it la In the natural order of
things that one should occasionally
be deceived; hut Is It not better to
be deceived once than to suffer doubt
a hundred time** Recently there was
published a poem In which It was told
how one who longed tor the expected

her heart against alt whom she moat

ROYCROFT PHILOSOPHY
* (By Fra Elbertus.)
It does not make much difference what a person studies —all knowledge is re
lated, and the man who studies anything if he keeps at it will become learned.
Work is for the worker.
Cultivate Poise.
A pedigree may be a matter if pride, but it is not consoling to ambition.
Abstinence is not enough, you must make life positive—do something.
Secure freedom by holding fast to the truth that there is no evil but fear and
that the Reality (God) is on you si^e.
Men who are well traduced and hotly denounced are usually pretty good quali
ty. No better econium is needed than the detraction of some people- And
men who are well hated also have friends who love them well—thus does the law of
compensation ever live.
It is a great and beautiful thing to be patient if wrongly accused; to be so
strongly girded ’round with right that you can meet slander by silence, and calum
ny with a smile.
Art is the expression of man’s jov in his work. You must let the man work
with hand and brain, and then out of the joy of this marriage, beauty will lie born.
And this beauty mirrors the best in the soul of man —it shows the spirit of God
that runs through him.
Art is beauty, and beauty is gratification: a peace and a solace to every nor- *
nml man and woman.
