HUMAN POTENTIALITIES.
The far-reaching possibilities of ihe
individual for good or evil were never
more forcibly illustrated than in tlie
cose of Suvrlo Prlnxip. the Serbian
youth whom w a are told is the man
who assassinated tin- Arch-Duke
Francis Ferdinand, of Austria, and set
in motion the momentous train of
events leading up to the present war,
the most stupendous human contljct in
the history of the world
I’rlntip was little more titan a boy.
an unknown university student, scarce
a man except in stature, weak and ef
feminate in appearance and completely
under the domination of the group' of
political conspirators whose urging led
him to the dastardly deed at Serajevo
last summer which set Europe aflame
and disturbed the peace and prosperity
of the whole earth Only a hoy, and
vet his hand is responsible for one of
the most momentous and far-reaching
deeds in history.
Hack of all the numerous explana
tions offered as the why and wherefor
of the war, back of the voluminous
mass of erudite manuscripts of scholars
and the vehement screeds of sympa
thizers of the warring nations, is the
hand of this immature youth.
Written luridly across the pages of
the past are the names of many others
whose acts have turned and shaped the
destinies of Ampires. History is filled
with the tales of men and women of
lowly station who have wielded an
enormous influence for good or evil in
the nffairR of mankind. Tramps and
strumpets leave at times Jarred the
mightest nations to the very founda
tions. Kings and Emperors have been
unseated and times unnumbered the
nations of the earth have grappled in
the throes of bloody and long continued
wars because of the act of some person
whose existence among the great
mass of humanity was unsuspected
until they emerged from obscurity and
stood revealed to the world in answer
to the prompting of inscrutable destiny.
Dozens of such have come and gone,
the great majority leaving behind them
a trail of destruction, death and deso
lation but when the final word of his
tory has been scanned, few can be
found whose acts have had such an
immeasurable influence on the affairs of
mankind as lias that of this deluded
boy of Berajevo. Not only was the act
of his hand the initial impulse leading
to the destruction of millions amidst
the tumult of war hut it has been felt
as a mighty force in all the civilized
nations of the earth, regardless of sit
uation. Added to the desolation
wrought within the borders of the
warring countries is the suffering and
privation, the want and famine amongst I
the masses in nearly every nation. The j
commerce o' the world Is stagnated, j
Industry is paralyzed, millions are idle1
and in fear of the gaunt specter of !
starvation stalking grimh in their 1
midst. On every hand is to be seen the)
blasting influence wrought by one.)
nameless and unknown, an 1 yet who |
as the tool of an incomprehensible Fate)
has disturbed the peace and happiness J
of untold millions, and wrought a de
struction appalling in its immensity.
EFFACING TIME.
Rather a striking quotation from the
late John Muir was made at the burial
of this author and naturalist who died
in California the day before Christmas.
"Longest is the life that contains the
largest amount of time effacing enjoy
ment; of work that is a steady delight."
is the remark which was made by John
Muir and quoted by his friends
It suggests a point of view that with
ail our strenuous interest in life we are
likely to miss. Time need not worry
ins when we are absorbed with the Joy
j which makes us forget time We Ite
■ "tne unmindful either of its dragging
J or of its flying when we concern our
selves with work that Is a steady de
light. Every new year, while it lasts
ought to be Just as good as eternity for
us. We can oniv live in the present
anyway.
Rut we have formed a habit of look
ing ahead and anticipating the end of
our day or our week or our year, and
of looking back and regretting the be
ginning And we loose a good ileal of
i lie passing moments in this rather
futile occupation So for as we know
it might turn out that time is only an
illusion anyway, invented by mortals
who are sighing for eternity. The wis
est course seems to he to grasp the little
section of existence before us that the
philosophers have such difficulty in de
tending and live it to the hest of our
lability for "steady delight" This
would really end a lot of our dismay
"bout the flight and passing of time — I

BATTLE OF
BLENHEIM
_ -1
It is asserted that the great battle;
t.f Blenheim, in 1704, was fought to
satisfy tlie martial ambitions of the
Duke of Marlborough. Is it not possi
ble that the plains of Belgium are now,
being deluged in blood with as llttlej
justification? This poem, written nrnrii
than a century ago, has a startling ap4
propriatenoss today when humane mcu^
and women are asking the question tef
