If you were to ask what is the big
thiug in life, some one would tell you
that it is riches, another would say
that it is glory, says the Los Angeles
Times.
But they would all he mistaken.
Those who regard any of these things
or all of them put together, as the big
thing in life, lack both knowledge and
dreams, which two things combined
constitute philosophy.
The big thing in life is contentment.
Saul of Tarsus, who afterward was
Paul, the Apostle and a wiser and a
better man, went deep into everything
of this nature. He had not only his
own vivid and strenuous experiences
to draw from, hut he had also the wis--
dom that comes out of that great light
which halted him on the road to Da-
mascus.
And Paul tells us that contentment
is essential in all things. He makes it
clear that a man must have it before
he can b& anything worth while in this
world.
“1 have learned,” said lie to the
Philippians, “in whatsoever state I am
to be content.”
Until lie learned that, Paul had not
begun to live. Until then lie was the
same as other men. But after that he
rose to be the dominating spirit of the
age in which he labored and out of
which his name is still like magic on
the breath of the world.
We would say that there are two
things that shut a man out from con-
tentment. One is the desire to have
that which he has not. The other is
the fear of losing that which he has.
No man can be content so long as
he is subject to these two enslave-
ments. For that’s just what they are,
enslavements.
One can buy ten cents worth
any thing now for thirty cents.

About the time a man gets ready to
rest on his laurels, somebody pulls the
chair from under him.
Luke MeLuke say's a woman would
rather be a perfect 36 and be poor,
than be fat and be wealthy.
“Bachelor of Commerce."
The plan of the University of Lon-
I don to grant degrees in commerce Is
a laborer j attracting much attention. Under this
scheme it is proposed to grant the de-
gree of bachelor of commerce to can-
didates who pass the necessary exam-
inations after a three years’ course of
study. Those who so desire may later
proceed to the degree of master of
commerce, after a minimum of two i
years’ practical experience In the par- j
ticulnr trade or industry taken up. i
The first year’s course comprises the
compulsory subjects of organization of
industry, banking, trade and transport;
modern economic development of the
British empire and of the chief for-
eign countries; elementary commercial
law, and statistical method. The sec-
ond and final year will be devoted t*
specialization.
At any rate the Mexican situation
has given Congress a new subject for
endless and futile rag chewing.

In the year 1798 the tomato was

Hiram Johnson, Bepublican senator
from California, is one of the, hottest
baseball fans In the country, Jim Phe-
lan, Democratic senator, knows noth-
ing about the game. Here is proof of
the latter statement
The other day Walter Johnson, pre-
mier pitcher of the American league,
and Ty Cobb, thej greatest hall player
in all history, perhaps; paid the sen-
ate a visit. After they had been Intro-
duced all around and been the subject
of a great deal of hero worship, Phe-
lan went over to Eddie Halsey of the
senate staff, and asked:
“A\'ho is this Ty Cobb, anyhow?”
Halsey almost passed away, but he
managed to tell Phelan that “Cobb Is
a fellow who plays ball for a living.”
Meantime Johnson was enjoying
hugely the visit of the two ball play-

The importance of the eyesight test
is understood in a -general way, but
few people realize the tax laid on the
eyesight of an engine driver during
a long run. It takes year* for a driv-
er to learn thoroughly all the signals
on a complicated system, and he must
be able to pick out hiB own at a
glance in the maze * of a great junc-
tion. On the Northwestern railway
alone more than 17,000 signals are lit
every night, and a driver working from
London to Crewe and hack is eon-

Aunty Would Help.
Bill Bush of L.A.A.C. was showing
an elderly lady the virtues^of the car
he sells. He made many turns and at
the proper times extended his arm as
a turning signal.
The old lady watched the proceeding
for some time. Then she craned her
neck and looked at the sky.
“Mister,” she said sternly, tapping
Bill on the shoulder, “you Just tend
