THE MAN WHO DECIDE?.
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!

heights. He seeks out and vrvtles
ttfth every opportunity. 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

"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.
