only her piano and a very small sum
of money.
She went to the city.
Having studied music for years, it
was her"plan to select a quiet
lng house, teach piano to a few pupils
and meantime employ her literary tal-
ents.
Result?
At the end of a year of city life this
girl tried to commit suicide.
She had ncp relatives to whom she
could appeal. She was in debt, ill and
despairing. The poor girl discovered
that to secure private pupils in a
great city, with its music schools and
celebrated teachers, requires influen¬
tial friends.
That was the first disappointment.
Her crude literary productions, ped¬
dled from ohe editorial room to an¬
other, were politely declined.
As her money gave out her clothes
grew shabby. Despite the mending
and cleaning and pressing, her poverty
was apparent, and she presented a pa-
thetic figure as she went about trying
to find something to do.
The managers would not even give
her a job playing the piano in the
cheap theaters unless she got better
clothes.
Better clothes! And her piano was
mortgaged for every cent she could
raise, and she owed much besides.
The poor thing tried being a waitress
at a cafe and broke down under the
strain of the heavy trays. She was ill,
half starved, but an honest girl. What
would you?
The climax of attempted suicide
brought her a few friends, who finally
secured her a place in a restaurant,
where she plays the piano.
And this is a true story.
Why tell it?
Because so many girls as ill or less
adapted to earn a living are pouring
into the gyeat cities. The city, with
Its capacious maw, swallows their
clean and innocent lives and then
spews many of them out defiled to
the walking of tho streets or to the
slab of marble at the morgue.
OFCNED HIS EYES.
In Marion, O., the other day Bernard
began an action for divorce.
His wife was in England.
What cause ho may have had, if
any, for the application to the courts
is not revealed.
He was poverty stricken; that is all
we know, And it may be that the
wolves of want had clamored about his
elbow until he had argued with his
soul whether it cared any longer to
"fardels bear.”
Any way—
Before the case came on for trial two
things happened which changed Mr.
Norton's point of view;
A relative died and left him some
money that was available, and at the
same time he received bad news from

iliw wi-LC in mxftinuu.
She had become blind.
It was then that a great revulsion of
feeling concerning his wife came to
him. No doubt he remembered many
acts of love and sacrifice on the part
of the wife which now that she was
helpless and blind pleaded strongly for
her.
He did this:
Ordering the divorce stricken from
the docket, he took his inheritance and
started at once to rescue the poor blind
wife across the sea.
Pity opened his eyes.
He now could see that he himself
had been blind—blind to the real things
of his life.
And we—all of us?
Most of us are blind in the same un¬
seeing way. Always do we take and
fail to give.
Blind! B1 m< 1! Blind'.
Blind to the toil and tenderness, blind
to tho service and sacrifice of those
who love and serve us.
So many tender words and true

RUN!
Ever see a fullback make a run with
tlie ball?
It is an exciting spectacle.
The fellow runs in tlie face of many
odds and tremendous opposition, but—
He runs.
He knows there is a bare chance,
and lie takes that chance. Ho knows
that other fellows as snappy as spring
steel will tackle him. He may be trip¬
ped or knocked off his feet, piled upon
maybe, but—
He holds the ball and runs.
Sqe him dodge like a fox. Watch
him circle around the others, Note
how he twists and plunges hither and
yon, but always, always with the hope
of the touchdown before his eyes.
He runs like n streak. And if a
deft tackle or the momentum of his
clinging foe plunges him down he
plunges down running.
Which is the way to win.
It is the way to win a touchdown in
footl%!l and tlie way to win success in
life.
I.ife is a tremendous game in which
you must run tho race that is set be¬
fore you—a race wherein if you go
down you must go down running.
It is against odds.
Rivals will trip you on the run if
they can; competitors will clog your
progress and tackle >ou lii 0 h o. low.

and if you do for you are plaudits

Tho crowd will cheer your pluck and

Life is a strenuous game.
Today under the competitive system
men struggle with each other ns fierce¬

arenas at Rome and Corinth.
Therefore gird your loins.
Get into the game for all there is in
you. for if you enter the lists panic
stricken and afraid it is easy to see
your finish.
Get the ball and run.
Run as if your life depended upon
your mashing your way through the
opposing lines. Maybe your life does
depend upon it.
