Failure. “Failure,” says Keats, “is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterward carefully avoid.” Defeats and failures have played a great part in the history of success. It is not pleasant to think that more or less of defeat is absolutely neees sary to great success, But that it is true every student of history knows. Defeats and failures are great devel¬ opers of character. They are the gym¬ nasia which have strengthened the muscles of manhood, the stamina, the backbone which have won victories. They have made the giants of the race by giving titanic muscles, brawny sinews, far reaching intellects. How true it is that poverty often hides her charms under ugly masks! Thousands have been forced Into great¬ ness by their very struggle to keep the wolf from the door. She is often the only agent nature can employ to call a man out of himself and push him on toward the goal which she had fitted him to reach. Nature cares little for his ease and pleasure. It Is the naan she is after, and she will pay any price or resort to any expedient to lure him on. She masks her own ends in man’s wants and urges him onward, oftentimes through difficulties and ob¬ stacles which are well nigh disheart¬ ening, but ever onward and upward toward the goal.—Register. The Boy Who Learned the Way, He was very young—about 13—this boy who spent most of his time in the studios watching the artists draw and paint and wishing he could do the same. “What kind of pencils do you use?” he said one day, and they gave him one of the kind. That night he tried to make a figure lie had seen one of the artists draw, .it seemed so easy. But he could not do the .same kind of work. “Perhaps I haven’t the right kind of paper,” he reasoned, “1 will get a piece tomorrow.” Even the right kind of paper did not help him any. “I need a studio and an easel,” was his next conclusion. “I have the de¬ sire; surely all I need now are the necessary surroundings.” A few years of Impatient waiting passed before he secured the “neces¬ sary surroundings," and when he had them all and still found it Impossible to draw the truth dawned upon him. “I know what is wrong,” he cried, throwing down his pencil. “I know nothing of the principles of art. must learn them first.” He was still young when his name as a great painter was known on two con¬ tinents, He had learned the “prinei pie.” A bit of brown paper and a burned match would then enable him to draw as easily as all the art essen¬ tials.— Ann Partlan in Succes s. A Caae of Color BlIMneH. “Yours is a perplexing case,” said the oculist. “You call red purple and refer to nile green as turkey red.” “Yes,” replied the visitor, with a con¬ tented smile. “1 fancy I was bom that way. ’ “It’s the most aggravated case of col¬ or blindness I have ever encountered In my professional experience.” “That’s it. I want yon to write me out a statement to that effect Never mind what the fee is. You see, my wife has a lot of samples she wants matched, and she’ll ask me to tackle the job some time next week for cer¬ tain.” And then the oculist bad his suspi¬ cions.—Pearson’s Weekly. Mexico's Rainy 8**uion. What they call the 6 rainy season 8 In Mexico comes only in the form of . showers, which fall In the afternoon. These showers usually occur every day, bat sometimes there will be two or three days of perfectly clear weath¬ er.
