“Who is that great man?” asks
Elbert Hubbard in one of his finest
“Little Journeys,” and answers it
thus: “Listen and I will tell you.
He is great who feeds other minds.
He is great who inspires others to
think for themselves. He is great

what happened in this country under
the great man’s leadership.
It was this:
For a time the American people
followed their President. He in-
spired them to thank for themselvse.
He pulled them out of their mental
ruts. His idealism, lifting them
above the mire of the commonplace,
opened their eyes to the vision of
a world at peace. Under his in-
struction, they say that, by their
fortitude and devotion, they could
make that supernal dream come
true. They love him for this awak-
jng them them to their better selves.
But it was written that the peo-
ple should “alternately love and
hate” the great man. They came
to hate Wilson as littleness hates
superiority, as the money counters
in the temple hated Christ, and be-
cause they wearied of the fight

AUTUMN.
The leaves of Autumn seared and fell,
The roses drooped and soon were dead,
The crimson lilly of the dell,
No more o’er all its fragrance shed.
Chilling winds swept o’er the earth
Filling each nook with icy breath,
The harbinger of Autumn’s birth—
While Summer, pale, lay robed in death
The rich green foliage of the trees
Gave place to gold and crimson leaf.
The verdant carpet of the lees
Wore now the hue of ripened sheaf.
The frisky squirrel left the hough,
And sought alcove instinct had brought;
Wise architect, there was no need to labor now,
His home with plentitude was frought.
No more did bees the nectar seek,
They’d toiled with zeal all summer through;
Examplars to us they plainly speak— ,
Harvest thy stores while skies are blue-
Thou man, superior to all upon the earth!
And yet how reckless of thy power!
Didst thou but understand its worth,
Thou woulds’t improve each passing hour!
Drink thou today ambrosial wine,
And give a pledge to act thy part;
Kneel, a devotee at Labor’s shrine—
I will prove to thee unerring chart.
Garner the moments ere they’re gone,
Each is a gem upon life’s shore;
Misspent for them thou’lt ne’er atone,
They pass today and come no more.

The Test of Friendship.
Christy Mathewson, the hero of
every baseball fan in the world and
of many baseball battles, has been
fighting the greatest Ibattle of his
life for the past three years. Three
years ago he was diagnosed as tu-
berculous and little hope was held
for his recovery. Now he is known
as an arrested case and is able to
manage the Boston Braves.
Mathewson is a strong advocate
of sanatarium treatment for tubercu
losis. In speaking of this he says,
“A sanatorium is the best place in
which to get well, unless you have
ness that the world can never for-
get. When he is dead, that great-
ness, living through centuries, will
always lift men and women “out of
the mire of the commonplace.”—
