TAKING CAREFUL AIM. |
Many a boy misses becoming a
great man, many a girl misses
becoming a great women, by fail-,
mg to take good aim, says a writ
er m St. Nicholas. It’s impor
tant to find out us early as we
can just what we can do, what our
special talent is, and then direct
our utmost energies at that one
target.
The men of single, concent rated
purpose are the ones who accom
plish the hard things of the world.
Years ago a number of school
boys, members of a Philadelphia
school, were taken by their teach
ers to Washington to see Presi
dent Lincoin iu the white house.
When the ceremonies were over
Mr. Lincoin turned to the boys.
“Boys,” he said, a kindly guide
I• . in'; ;ibout his features, “do
n t. ,<• 1 1 .. rs in your school teach
■>u ii -v m load, take aim, and
tiiv? Dn they teach you the im
p ■irtatioe >f hitting the target
i.'Ve, i, me?
111,,ve known some people,”!
tiie president went on, “who had:
‘fine looking guns, but they just I
went out and blazed away with
out much air, and they didn’t j
amount to much. It’s a great
thing to have good guns. Blit
any kind of a gun that hits the j
j mark is better than any other j
kind that doesn’t. An insignifi-i
/
cant mustard shot that hits the j
target, boys, is better than a
United States army shell that goes I
whizzing away in spuqe and aim-!
lesely explodes.?’
In these words Mr. Lincoln was |
emphasizing, in language the boys J
could understand, the need of!
conceutratedjpurpose for anyone i
who expected really to accomplish j
! something in the world. Conceit- :
: trated purpose is taking careful |
i aim.
HAILEY’S COMET ENTERS
“TWILIGHT REGION.’’
New York —Halley’s comet
may now be seen on nights when
! condit ions are favorable with the
; aid of an ordinary field glass, ac
cording to members of the as
tronomical faculty at Columbia
University. The most favorable
time to look for it is between 0:80'
and 7 :30 p. m. with the glass ele
vated somewhat above the point
where th“ sun sets.
The comet is at present in what
the astronomers call the “twilight
region.’’ It is in line with the sun
and its brightness is therefore
| dimmed. It will be visible ali
through April and May, but at its
maximum brilliancy on May 18th.
When the comet is nearest the
earth it will be only about 14,000,-
1000 miles away,
