ABOUT WORKING FOR GLORY.
Sixteen leading business men, serv
tmg without pay, co-operate with the
tayer of New Orleans in the manage-
. merit of the municipal belt line built
' r th convenience of shippers. Thus
is contradicted the prevailing notion
that Americans cannot be enlisted in
public work unless they are paid well
for the expenditure of time and ef
fort. ': :;n,:-
Richard T. Ely, economist of' the
University of Wisconsin, enumerates
three leading motives for the activity
f individuals. First is the desire for
mrney to satisfy personal wants; sec
ond is the dedtre to satisfy tjie wants
f dependents; third is the desire for
dividual distinction. The professor
angel j remarks that the third often
k , fee strong of all and that by
i,f)laarfag on it properly social output
f cents' -be materially increased.
Cities, as well as private employers j
. would do well to recognize the desire
for personal distinction as a' logical
and praiseworthy ambition. Only too
ften the man who shows an indication
r f wanting to make a name for him
self is discouraged into being a mere
money grubber. Aa a matter of fact
his desire for publicity is a lever that
should be used to spur him to his
best efforts. Self effacement is a vir
tue that few care to cultivate and that
seldom is not appreciated when it is
cultivated Most of the big achieve
ments of this world have been
wrought by men who had no idea of
hiding their light under the bushel,
who objected very strongly, in fact, to
anyone else getting credit for the
work they were doing. . A large per
centage ofwhat has come down to us
as shining examples of sacrifice of
pecuniary considerations in zeal for
the public welfare is due to the pres
ence of a far more compelling motive
than money regard.
The way to get the most out of
those with whom we are associated
is to take them as we find them and
not as we might wish them to be. Em
ployers usually have a shrewd sense
rf the monetary value of personal van
ity and pay off in titles or other sym
bols of preferment what otherwise
they might have to pay in dollars. Cit
ies if they are to get the greatest re-

Londoners' Helplessness. ,
It was not the brightly polished boots
of the Londoners that most impressed
an old Canadian whom I took to see j
the nights of the metropolis some time
ago. It was bis first night of us, and
he was frank. ; He confided to me that
he was most struck by our "general ..
helplessness" and illustrated his mean-1
lng by telling me that in the town he
came from the lawyer thought it no '
shame to carry u sack of flour through
the street, the doctor might be seen !
spending his leisure by painting nis
bouse or the purxou engaged with spade
and pick like any navvy. And now my
Cuuadiau found he bad arrived In a
country where a . man could not even '

PUBLIC SPIRIT.
Are we not, then, called upon
by the highest duties to our
country, to its free Institutions,
to posterity and to the world to
rise above all local prejudices
and personal partialities, to dis
card all collateral questions, to
disregard every subordinate
oint. and. In a genuine spirit of
comproiiii.se and concession, to
unit" '.Kiit and band to pre
wiie ior ourselves the blessings
of free .government wisely, hon
estly and faithfully administer
ed, ami, as we received them
from our fathers, to transmit
them to our children? Should we
not subject ourselves to eternal
reproach if we permitted our
differences about mere men to
bring defeat aud disaster upon
our cause? Our principles are
Imperishable, but men hrfve but
a fleeting existence and are them
selves liable to change and cor
ruption during its brief contin
uance. Henry Clay.
