THOMAS. with it. if l endeavored to tell all. But 1 do not mean to be egots- tical. 1 have only tried, in this arti cle. to tell the simple truth, there fore. ] hope my readers will read this effusion in the same spirit in which it has been written. For then I shall know that the\ will be considerate and forbearing for any mistake I may have made. The writer hopes that this article will leave a favorabh on the minds of his readers for it is the most elaborate composition that lie has yet attempted. In the beginning, permit me to say that, as l am by this time, perhaps, quite well known to newspaper read ers of tins section. | suppose it is not necessary for me to here repeat all that i have said about myself in for mer writings. So 1 will not tire the readers with any formal introduction, but will just proceed to tell what Is uppermost in my mind at this time. Ever since reading an article, one o r two Years ago, from the facile pen of Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 1 have de sired to write just such an article as the one | now present to my readers, but. somehow or other, ] just couldn’t make up my mind to do it—until now. Her subject, like mine, was “What Life Means to Me,” and was v t> interesting reading, to sax the least that can be said about it. Her finely written conception of what life means to her is profoundly beautiful to all kindly, intelligent, sympathetic readers. [ wish that I could write as beautifully as she ran, for then I know that j could, at all times, be sure of appreciative readers. To those who know me it may seem that, from a worldly point of view, i have little for which to be ! thankful, since ] am unable to walk, and so have to remain shut in from I the outside world. But I can thank- • fully say that I do not take this view I of my case. Never, since i can re- i member, have I allowed myself to ! become utterly despondent, although ! i have, at times, become a little dis couraged. It is the will of God that I am so afflicted, therefore, hope that ! i am resigned to the life of a shut-in. 1 know that I try to be. For even ; though I am, to say the least, a physi cal weakling. I find much joy in living. know what real eloquence is. 1 have never been inside of a court house, have never rode in a railway train, and it is not necessary for me to say that 1 have never even seen the wide ocean or a small portion of it. Yet ] have my ideals. In my mind I I axe pictured the ideal boy and the ideal girl, the ideal man and the ideal xvoman. the ideal church and the ideal State, the ideal political (Teed and the ideal government. In deed. I believe every one lias tits iib als, no matter hoxv high or how low those ideals may be. But truth constrains me to sax- that I do not live up to mine, because I am. after iill. only a common mortal. If I live, howexer, and nothing happens, the world shall one dax know what my ideals ate. And while some tor all) of mx ideas about things may be wrong. I purpose to adhere until I lind something better. It mat ters little to me what others may think: I am content with the approv- impressfon up-; ai of the voice 1 within. land meant i before, 1 ntliers ihe same horn 11 Inn liiim for myself. Why should I not do tliis'.’ But I am digressing. I desire above all else, to be a free man free in the sense that 1 xvill not have to take a certain person's advice "Saw wood and say nothing.” t Now. I of course know, that one doesn’t have to slander his oxvn neighbor, or expose his own "family skeleton” to the public, or "raise tiiin in general, just because one is privileged to talk.) Since we are liv ing iu an iige of talkers, I believe t hiit I. too, have a right to talk, though 1 dout make tliis claim' in any insulting way. For talking in one of the things worth living to me er. the kidness of xvhich make life , reading is anoth mv friends is yet The many friends of J>o. E.

FELIX LIPSCOMB. another, and the love and devotion of my own dear mother is one more reason why I desire to live and xvork. But 1 am digressing somewhat again again. Reading some of Tom Watson's I writings has aroused in me an am bition to do and to dare for the sake of right. Why should I remain idle ittul inactive xvhen others are devot-l j iug their lives to the cause of right?! 1 trust that I am never to do this, i There is a task for every hand, a j work for every man. Since I believe in Populism, as a political creed. 1 sometimes dare to say as much; but not, however, in j any insulting manner, I must say. | And sometimes I lind those who seem 1 inclined to combat my position. But j how can I help it if everybody doesn’t i agree with me? I neither expect to! agree with everybody, nor every body to agree with me. I hoxvever, 1 knoxv that I may be, and possibly I i am, in error—badly in error—about some things, but I do not feel that powerful editorials, the like of which have never been read before my pen began to move across paper; tomor row I am just a common boy, wishing for something—I knoxv not what, j Such, kind readers, is the life I live from day to day. But I cannot truthfully say that I; desire to he as rich as Rockefeller, ; because I shouldn’t know what to do ; xvith so much money. I don’t believe J he does, either. But I do desire to j bring out and develop all that is best in my nature, and I fear that much money would take away this desire. For and I am building air castles j again—then I was lecturing some-) xvhere; now I am writing a book of some sort; and thus goes life with i me today, tomorrow and always.! But I am digressing once more i o dear! digressing seems to be my i to them j worst fault. The thing xvhich I enjoy most, and j xvhich make life worth living to me, j and xvhich I don’t knoxv ho'x I could j get on without, are reading, rtuiv-i ing. writing and talking, mv love for | flowers, poetry and music, mx f md- j ness for outdoor life in “the good i old summer time.” the companionship J of friends, and my devotion to the j higher ideals. 1 am truly thankful j for all of these things and, in strict ! confidence, I may say that like tc j talk to the girls sometimes, tout | whenever t hey xvill permit me to do j so. that is, ha! ha! I will now bring this effusion to an end. I am axvare that it isn't the' best that anybody can do, but it is the best that I can do. So I shall send it along.

Truly there is much to llv>? for— more, alas! than some ever find. 1 enjoy life for the sake of living, and i mort hoping for better things—if for no | way. other reason. But there is. however, more, to me in life than merely liv ing, hoping and trusting, for if I find no satisfaction in the present, I am not likely to find any In tbe future. I therefore strive to enjoy and em- studying has been for nothing. For if I should once become convinced that I have found no truth whatever in all my reading, I would never again have the spirit to pick up a book. But this is not going to hap- pen.
