That the people have a thorough appreciation of Professor Riddell's work is very evident. He is listened to with the keenest Interest; all are intent on every word he has to say. There is a personal magnetism about the speaker that wins and holds his audience from the very frat sentence of every lecture. Doubtless the people of Sterling 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 leitdre last night was "The Psychology of Sueces9," a lecture especially adapted to young.

people. The following are a few of the many carnest and practical' suggestions given by Professor Riddell on this subject: It is sold that really only one out of 2 hundred suceceds 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 1 want to sucreed in?" Nature crowns those who have won success. No man fails in life who makes good use of every moment, who accepts every opportunity.

The men and women who make history have had to struggle against adversity. 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 money.

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.

Scek to cutivate your energy. Mind is a limited quantity. This Is EL day of specialists and the man with one idea will win. Concentrate your energy, Jay Gould had al dream when a boy that he wanted to own the whole carth. Had he lived another fifty years his dream would have been realized.

All power was granted to Edison in his concentration of energy. Ile hind been at work for fifty hours and without sleep, when he came down. from his workshop with hair disheveled and eyes of fire; 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 thorongly and' only what is practical. Do not read what you cannot digest. Talent often Tails -tact 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 fill your mind with. By this we are governed. The first step is one of choice, the last is often imperative. the last may be beyond your control.

Feed your mind carefully. suggestion; don't wait for success, dig your way out. Every day is a resurrection day in the brisiness world. Opportunity comes to every man somewhere, sometime, in the social as well ILS the spiritual world. Learn to develop your indi.

viduality. God has given every one a of Have an idea, keep it consistent. don't be what you are not. Be anything but a fallure. Don't be out of harmony with yourself.

It is the unique character that. wins. Cultivate your conscience. Charneter commands the price. It pays to do right.

Matrimony is the switchpolnt in it man's life, When you seek a wife, young man. get IL good one. Though all the world is against you, with 8 good wife, you are still in the majority. To you young woman, let me urge that you cultivate and develop the finer Never marry any man u- til he reallzes that he is getting a flower. What Is magnetism?

The power' of solitude is the first step to greatness, to wit: Savonarola, Knox, Luther. Jesus of Nazareth. Spend a ball hour dally 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 pray--Holy spirit cleanse my life: Holy spirit use me. To keep this up) you will soon feel the incoming of the holy spirit, your soul will barn within you and you 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 inflnite 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 he is. Is there it Personal Devil? Sin and It's Nature is the subject of the lecture this evening. Professor Riddell announced that the talk this evening will be short. The song service will begin at 7:30 o'clork, the question box at 7:45 and the lecture promptly ut 8. A collection will be taken.

Former Writes From Port Angeles, Wash. BAD STORMS ON THE PACIFIC Terrible Experiences of the Sailors--Some Things About the Place Which WIll Be Rend With A Interest. Editor Standard: -Not since the time Dalhoa struck his famous pedal extromity into the placid bosom of the peaceful old Pacife bas 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 seeking shelter from the storms.

Our harbor is situated sixty miles from the ocean. on the Straits of Fuca nnd is -the first one available after leaving the ocean. We have here the finest natural harbor in the United 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 the entire fleet of the United navy to enter and go through all its maneuvers and then have room enough for hundreds of other 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 ran readily 500 why they call it thus. While we hear of all there storms, we sce very little of them. Port Angels is situated hehind the Olympic range of mountains and though it may storm ever so hard on the Pacifie coast, these mountains net as a shield and cause the storms to veer off into eastern Washington.

This is the reason why Seattle. just eighty miles cast 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 sullors 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 wares were mountain high, while inside there was scarcely a ripple.

As this ship towed by two 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 bad battled with the waves in an endeavor to get into the Straits from the ocean. men had stood up to their waists 111 water that was heated almost to 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 bouts had splintered tier masts and stove a great hole in her side. I tell you she was a tough looking sight when sho came into port. but their experience was only the same as bundreds of others. A big Umted States light ship (this is a ship anchored to EL big reef rock at the month: of. the Straits and has two big revolving lights in the top of her masts) at the l'matilla reefs was torn loose during the storm.

She was fastened with an anchor. weighing of tons connerted with a cable whose links were one and inches thick. When the storm came up the captain started two engines, turned his ship head on. and steamed against the storm with all his might. But the force of the storm W'8S 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 store in' 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 KO 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 sack and go large, fat, juicy fellows. They are immense. Tell our friends to come out and see us and we'll feed 'em clams-clams baked, clams stewed. clams fried, clam chowder, clam nector, or clam in nny old way. S.
