Fourth HEARD BY LARGE AUDIENCE iolc.py of (lir rt Sound lTlcn ThuiiKlitK Pre- This Evening. The rrepbyterian church was pack'-'1 to the doors Wednesday evening to hear Professor N. X. Riddell for (lie fourth Miccessivc night. That tho people have a thorough appreciation of Professor Riddeir.s work is very cVi- dent.

Ho is listened to with the keenest interest; all nre intent on every word lie has to say. There is a personal magnetism about the speaker that wins ami holds his audience from the verv first sentence of every Doubtless the people of Sterling ealize that they are having an unusual treat. The collections have Increased in their amounts with each successive night, this being another evidence of the speaker's popularity. The usual song service, conducted conducted last evening by Harry Evas, paved the way for the question box. Some of the questions and answers were of a lighter vein', but on others, Professor Riddell became eloquent.

This feature will continue each evening. The subject of the lectftre last night was "The Psychology of Success," a lecture especially adapted to people The following arc a few of the many earnest and practical'suggestions given by Professor Riddell on this subject: It is said that really only one out of a hundred succeeds in business. Men lack courage to win out mentally, morally, socially and spiritually. Let us ask each other tonight "Why have I failed?" "What do I want to succeed in?" Nature crowns those who have won success. No man fails in life who makes good use of every mom- who accepts every opportunity.

The men and women who make history have to struggle against tulverslty. You say that you are poor. That's the best thing that could happen to most men. It is one of the essentials for success. If you have mowey.

I pity you. Take care of the physical organism in which you live. Men fail because they don't know how to feed themselves. They eat indigestible foods. Alcohol sets the base of the brain afire.

Learn to live a hygienic life. Seek to cutivate your energy. Mind is a limited This is a day of specialists and the man with one idea will win. Concentrate your energy. Gould had a dream when a boy that he wanted to own the whole earth.

Had he lived another fifty years his dream would have been realized. All power was granted to Edison in his concentration of energy. Ho had been at work for fifty hours and without aleep, when he came down, from his workshop with hair disheveled and eyes of lire; when asked about sleep, he replied "when this invention is completed," and in six hours more Edison gave to the world the electric- light. Focalize the rays'of your life on one thing. Then cultivate your intellect.

Don't make a waste basket of your brain. Read (horouglrty and only what is practical. Do not read what you cannot digest. Talent 'often Tails wins: Train your eyes to see, grasp, 'hold. Develop tact.

Tact Is "the survival of the fittest," the ability to do the right thing at the right time. Be careful what you (ill your mind with. By this we are governed. The step one of choice, the last is often imperative, the last may be beyond your control. Feed your mind carefully.

Another suggestion; don't wait for success, dig your way out. Every day is a resurrection day in the business world. Opportunity comes to every man somewhere, sometime, in the social as well as the spiritual world. Learn to develop your individuality. God has given every one a pattern' of life.

Have an idea, keep it consistent, don't be What you are not. lie anything but a failure. Don't be out of harmony with yourself. It is the unique character that wins. Cultivate your conscience.

Character commands the price. It pays to do right. Matrimony is the switchpolnt in a man's life. When you seek a wife, young man, get a good one. Though all the world is against you, with a good wife, you are still in the majority.

To you young woman, let me urge that you cultivate and develop the finer qualities. Never marry any man until lie realizes that he is getting a flower. What Is magnetism? The power to live, think, feel and net all in a moment. He magnetic. Don't the drugstore for your complexion.

Some one tins siiid of I hi 1 dude, he it Holier with the rim rubbed out. No man wants to marry a Miss ti tfH you uhi.ut the origin of the minx a kind, firm stand taken including those of her lover, would do much to excite bis admiration and call out. his better nature. When young women are ready to say, "We would rathrr make the journey of life alone in gladdening the hearts of others than accept as a husband one who lias defiled himself by promiscuous associations." men to protect cultivate purity of thought and gradually, but surely; become the ideal of their loved omv. The greatest crime in 'American womanhood is allowing and even fostering in men of life and conduct that, neither she nor her brother would tolerate in a woman.

Men may be fietuatnl by selfish motives in demanding a pure temperate life of women; women may lie impelled by the sense of kindness and forbearance in tolerating intemperance and vice in men; but man's selfishness here becomes- a blessing; womans kindness becomes a curse. Home life should be a realization of the life beyond. We neglect little things. Take the best home with you, leave the irritating unkindly things in the shop, schoolroom, business, but don't carry it home with you The hearthstone is the cornerstone of a nation. It is not a standing army nor a bank account that makes a nation, but the character of our homes.

Too often the fathers are strangers to their boys, father has a personal responsibility toward his child. Now for a look at the psychology of success in tho spiritual realm. "Hitch your wagon to a star," some one has and I would your life to the Star of Bethlehem. Seek the unfold- ment of a spiritual character. We can only know God subjectively.

The power of solitude is the first step to greatness, to wit; Savonarola, Knox, Luther, Jesus of Nazareth. Spend a half hour daily alone. Dismiss the whole world from your mind'. Let the mind be passive, then pray; Holy spirit fill me; Holy spirit search me; if you find sin in your life repent; in so far as you repent you will be forgiven. Continue to spirit cleanse my life; Holy spirit use me.

To keep this up you will sooti feel the incoming oil the holy your soul will bijrn within you and yon will feel that you ought, to love everybody. There will be a divinity in your soul that will flow out and through your life to bless the world. Keep in tune with the infinite and whatsoever you have received in the silence give to the world. Silent forces rule the world. The power of a man's life for good or evil is determined, not so much by what he says, as by what lie is.

Is there a Personal Devil? Sin and It's Nature is the subject of tho lecture this evening. Professor Riddell announced that the talk this evening will short. The song service will begin it 7:150 o'clock, the question box at 7:45 and tho lecture promptly at 8. A. collection will be taken.

Briefly told, "Marble an inexperienced young man, visits New York in search of vocalists 'for his church choir In a New Jersey village.

He falls in with a theatrical manager and staff through the machinations of his father, and they in turn set a party of comic singers to initiating the young man into the gay life of the metropolis. He enters into their scheme with little hesitancy, and comes out-a full fledged sport. It is said the costuming is elaborate, the. music bright and up to date, the girls pretty and the specialties of novel character interesting to all.

Frank Reap was arrested'about 2:30 this afternoon by Constable Del Gould on a warrant sworn out by John H. Ahrens charging him with assault and battery. The arrest is the result of an altercation between Mr. Ahrens and Reap regarding the delivery of a load of hay which Ahrens claims to have bought from Reap.

The hay transaction took place in Ahrens Department store about six weeks ago. 'Ahrens states he was to pay. for the hay on delivery and advanced a fur lined overcoat and a 'pair of over shoes. The load of hay never made its appearance, however, and when Ahrens saw Reap back of his barn on Ninth avenue, he asked Reap when he was going to deliver the hay. Reap replied that he was not going to deliver it at all.

Ahrens then asked him the overcoat and overshoes, which Reap refused to do. Ahrens then asked him what hi! intended to do about the matter, and asked him to step into the barn "and he would show him." Ahrens followed him into the barn, when Reap, according to Ahrens' story, assaulted him with a broomstick. Ahrens retaliated with a blow from his fist, and Reap reached his hand toward his pistol pocket, declaring that lie would shoot Ahrens. The latter thought discretion the better part of valor at that stage of the game! and did not wait to be shot. He went immediately to Justice I.

L. Weaver's shop, where he swore out the warrant Tor Reap's arrest. Constable Del Gould started out on a search for Reap and had no trouble in finding him and conducting him to the justice's office, where the preliminary hearing is being conducted by. State's Attorney Stager. This is another item in Reap's series of hard happenings.

First he lost his dog, then his horse died, then his load of hay'tipped over in the street, and now he is on trial for assault. was discharged at the preliminary hearing.

BAD STORMS ON THE PACIFIC Terrible of the About the Place Wl Kvad With ft Int nn Irh Will Editor since the time Balboa struck his famous pedal extremity into the placid bosom of the peaceful old Pacific bus that historic body of water been on such a rampage- as at the present time. For six weeks, with the exception of a few- days, it has been one storm after another. As a result our harbor at this place has been crowded with crafts of all descriptions Keeking shelter from the storms.

Our harbor is situated sixty miles from the ocean, on the Straits of Fuca and is-the first one available after leaving the ocean. We have here the finest natural harbor in the Fnited States. It is a natural arm or spit extending out three miles into the Straits, bent in such a way as to form a kind of arm. This harbor is large enough.to allow entire fleet of the United navy to enter and go through all its maneuvers and then have room enough for hundreds of Hher ships to lie.at anchor and not be in their way. The sailors call this' the Port of the Angels, and after the experience they are now having one can readily see why they call it thus.

While we hear of all there storms, we see very little of them. Port Angels is situated behind the Olympic range of mountains and though it may storm ever so hard on the' Pacific coast, these mountains act as a shield and cause the storms to veer off into eastern Washington. This' is the reason why Seattle, just eighty miles east of us, is subject to so much rainfall and rough weather, while we get very little in comparison and the thermometer rarely falls below forty degrees above zero. Some of the sailors coming into the harbor the last few weeks have some thrilling stories to tell. One large ship was seen rounding the point of the spit one day last week.

Outside the waves were mountain high, while inside there was scarcely a ripple. As this ship towed by tw.6 tugs came in, we who were watching 'her from the shore heard a faint cheer go up from her deck. The poor fellows had never expected to. reach land again. For fourteen days they had battled with the waves in an endeavor to get into the Straits from the ocean.

men 'had stood up to their waists in water that was heated almost to i.ue boiling point by the hot-boilers, stood there for twenty-four hours at a stretch working the pumps. The waves had carried away her pilot houses her life boats had splintered her masts stove a great hole in her side. 1 tell you she was a tough looking sight when she came into port, but their experience was only the same as hundreds of others. A big 1'nited States light ship (this is a ship anchored to a big reef rock at the mouth of. the Straits and has two big revolving lights in the top of masts) at the I'matiHa reefs was torn loose during the storm.

She was fastened with an anchor, weighing hundreds of tons connected with a cable whose links were one and one-fourth inches thick. When the storm came up tho captain started two engines, turned his ship head on, and steamed against the storm with all his might. But the force of the storm was so great that the one and one-fourth inch cable snapped like a thread, and thirty fathoms of the chain came with the ship with such force as to stove iir her pilot house like an eggshell. At the present time Port Angeles is having a snow storm, which is something rare. Unlike in the east, it is warm and vegetation does not suffer in any wise.

It lays for a day or two and is then gone. But while it lasts the youngsters make good use of it. Gardeners here make garden through the entire year, and some of them have onions, lettuce, spinich, large enough for use. This is a great country for fruit. The apple, plum, prune, pear and apricot was a very large crop the past year, and small fruit of all kinds grow in abundance.

When we want meat we can go out to the mountains and get a bear or deer, or go down to the lagoon and shoot a few mallards and brant, or take our rod and go for trout. At the present time we take a spade, lantern and gunny s-ack and go great large, fat, juicy fellows. They are immense. Tell our friends to come out and see us and we'll feed 'em baked, clams stewed, clams fried, clam chowder, clam nector, or clam in any old way. S.
