No attempt is ewr a total failure. Something U always added to ex perience by artlon. On the other hand, not to try Is always a failure, c cording to the San Franrisoo Bulletin. The habit of Indecision Is fatal. Nine rimes In Sen it Is far better for any man or woman to decide wrongly, so It be done promptly, than 10 dawdle and back and fill and finally not de cide at all. Lire is all action, mental and phys ical. Fear paralyse action. The over cautious man, who dwells In the val ley of Indecision, is ruled by his fears. They rob him of life's best, most helpful experiences. The frog pond piagnates and becomes a breeding-place for germs and mosquitoes, and a stench in the nostrils of the passer-by. On ie other hand, the crystal moun tain brook continues pure and spark ling by leaping and dashing against obstacles and living a life of quick action. . The slave of Indecision calls himself merely cautious and careful; but com monly he Is afraid to make a move on the chess-board of life until he can figure out tire end of the play. By that time life is far gone, he has miss ed a thousand Instructive moves and little has been added to his stock of experience and wisdom. The vacillat ing man who cannot decide becomes a mental frog-pond, experiencing lit tle, gaining nothing, losing little, in fested by germ doubts and mosquito worries, slowly drying up while slug gishly awaiting better opportunities whicti never come. Opposed to him Is the man of quick Intelligence and bold action, who un derstands distinctly what he wishes, and goes after it. Such a man makes ten mistakes to the frog-pr-nd man's one; but he likewise profits by a hun dred opportunities to the undecided man's one. and his varied life is a thousand times more valuable to him self and the world than "hat of the dawdling, procrastinating, hesitating man A prompt yes of no marks the firm, tiie ouick. the growing character. Such a man recognizes that human life and growth 'are evolutionary, and that by seeking opportunity for varied ex perience and unfoldment ne can carry that growth to greater and greater Good enough for anybody! jAll Havana Filler " FL0R0D0RA " BANDS on ef same vein at la it from - STAR," " HORSE SHOE:' SPEARHEAD.""

When thrown, he grasps the lesson, nd Is it to his stock of wisdom and K' forth to meet another opportunity. A stlnitig dwarf Is better trim a drowsy giant. To will and not to do Is not to will Rt all. Indecision Is the recruiting office of fallur-v Linger ing labors come to naught." "Thtrt- Is no time like the present" should be corrected to ren1. 'There is t,o time but the present." Now is ill? only time there Is or over will be In which to aot. All else is eternity, for ward or backward, In which no man acts. Heaven never helps the dawd ler. Life's shallows murmur. The man or woman who accomplishes tntp wor;h while tn the world of business or s - ciety of religion or the arts nciiber talks noisily about it nor ssks advice. The dawdler talks first and expects to act afterward. The d-er acts tlrst and lets the results talk for him. The man of indecision is always seeking advice (which is bad) and never taking it twlikh is soodt. He asks for advice, but he tvaily craves approval, and will accept nothing elsv. His inde-ision gradually K-comes a disease of the mind. He dallies with destiny and hums and haws and wor ries and wonders and frets and ponders and fears over every new proposition for hours and days at a time, wonder ing whether the persimmon be ripe or. green. Meanwhile the man who has learned the value of prompt action seiies the long pole of decision and krks the persimmon, ?x-uiiiivng it after s-ard to see If it be ripe. COMPARISON. Though the millions of people have Wa interested in the outcome of the great canal question. It is doubtful if many really know why one of th Jther should be more preferable. The New York Sun compares the two routes to the advantage of Panama, but the statement has not been verified. It is as follows: 1. Excavation to be done: Nicara gua, 7,711.603 cubic yards: Panama 94,se,T.J3 cubic yards. 2. Quantity of steel required: Nica ragua. 40,500 tons: Panama, 32.6-.J4 tons. 3. Deepest cuts: Nicaragua. 297 feet at Tomborcito; Panama, 103 feet at Culeebra. 4. Comparative cost of mainten ance: Nicaragua, t3.300.00O annually: Panama, $2,000,000, capitalized at 2 per' cent and added to the J5.000.000 of saving on original construction, makes the Panama route the cheaper by $70,000,000. 5. Number of looks: Nicaragua. 8; Panama, 2 double and 1 single. 6. Lengttt of canal navigation, af ter deducting deep-water navigation in Lake Nicaragua or Lake Bohio: Nica ragua, 142 miles; Panama, 42 miles. 7. Navigation around curves: Nica ragua, 49.29 miles; Panama, 22.85 miles. . Total degrees of curvature In ca nal: Nicaragua, 2.3'jf degrees 50 min utes: Panama, .771 degrees 39 mniutes. 9. Radius of sharpest curve: Nica ragua,' 4,045 feet; Panama, 8,203 feet. 10. Actual time of sailing through canal: Nicaragua, 33 hours: Panama, 12 hours. 11. Average hours of transit, Includ ing delays at night: Nicaragua, 64 hours; Panama, 21 hours. 12. Rainfall: Annual average at Greytown, 215 Inches: at Colon, 129 inches. 13. Regulation of summit level In I canal and this rwrans the mainten ance of the normal d-pth of water, i defective regulation paralyzing the c;'nal and blocking the commerce of the world: At Lake Nicaragua "it involves the operation of movable sates at such times and to su'-h extent J a the rainfall on th- lake basin may require. The experience and Juige. iment of the operator are essential el em"i's In the efTwtlve r-gulatlons of the lake;" at Lake Bollo "the reguia jtion Is automatic." Iloth quotations are from the isthmian canal eommls j .sion's report. 14. Traffic time from New York to the ' North Pacific, allowing for time consumed 1n ravage of canal: Nic aragua route equal to Panama for slow steamers, still longer for fast stwm ers. 15. Traffic time from New Orleans to the North Pacific, allowing for time consumed in passage of canal: Nic aragua route shorter than Panama for slow steamers, equal for medium speed steamers, longer for fast steam er. 16. Traffic time from either New York or New Orleans to the South Pa cific shorter for all kinds of ahlps. NO MAN 1$ STRONGER THAN HIS STOMACH; The stomach is the vitul center of the body. It is the organ from which all other organ are fed, A weak stomach means weak man. There never was a strotii; man with a weak stomach. What is called " weak stomach " is in general a diseased condition of the stomach and other organ of digestion and nutrition, which prevents the proper digestion of the food which is taken into the stom ach, and so reduce the nutrition of the body. When nil food is taken awiy the body surws. When the food eaten is only digested and assimilated in part it only nourishes the body in part, and so the be.lv is parti v starved. And this starvation is felt in everv organ of the bodv dependent on the blood which U made fro: fowl. The great variety of the cures per formed by Dr. IHerve's Golden Medical Discovery is due to its remarkable power to heal diseases of the stomach and af.icd organs. It cures through the stomach diseases seemitigtv remote, but which have t'leir origin in a diseased condition of the stomach ami the other organs of digestion and nutrition. " Weak heart, Iimgs, kidneys and weak ness of other organs is cured with the cure of the weak stomach. Mr Th.vua V Swart. Box Ki. Sub-Station C.
