It solves the reason for all fame. It is the rule that has been used in all the wonderful success es and triumphant matches of fortune and genius. It should be the motto of all, old and young, high and low. Press on. Never despair. When discouragement seems about to over take you, press on and leave it far in the rear. If fortune has played false with you today, be true to your self and turn the tables on her tomorrow. If an unfortunate business deal has been made, don’t fold your hands and give up all as lost, but stir yourself and work the more vigorous ly. Let the foolishness of yfesterday make you wise today. Do not say the world has lost all its poetry and beauty. That is not so, yet even if it were so you can make your own poetiy and beauty by leading a true and unblemished life. ACT WELL YOUR PART. Our happiness in this life depends not so much on circum stances and surroundings as in our determined efforts to do our best in all coneitioi.s in which we are placed. Our com mon heritage is more or less allied to sorrows and pain, but we have within ourselves the antodote—the sunshine of the heart that will alleviate, if not remove many of our troubles. But we persistently reject the means of happiness that lie within our reach, by ignoring present small pleasures in hopes of enjoying greater ones in the <uture good time coming, which always keeps just ahead, and is unattainable. We cul tivate little cares till they sometimes attain enormous growth by constantly dwelling on them and dolefully rehearsing them to our friends when we should do our best to rise above them. In the most difficult and trying conditions there will often be a brighter side. Don’t we all get pretty tired of hearing the continued wail of those people who fancy themselves misunderstood? Ilav n’t most of us suffered from that fancied though dreadful malady of being misunderstood? But after all, aren’t our wrongs a great deal on the same pattern? Yes, the wto ng are all just about the same. The difference arises in the way we deal with them. Don’t we sometimes get frightfully out of patience at the wailers who sit around whining about what they would love to have or do if life would only give them a fair chance. And when we advise them to stir up a little energy and get what they want, they look at us reproachfully and softly sigh, wnich leaves us more out of patience than we were before, j You know there is no use arguing with that kind of a person It takes struggle to win things in this life and you can’t get much without it. Sometimes we think others have more to start with than we have, but it is only by struggle that they make even the start worth while. Take the son of a millionaire. You might say he has a fine start but did you ever see one who proved himself worth while without a strug gle? lie has either to fight his own inclination to lie down on the job. custom and family traditions, or his father’s ideas of what he should do. Otherwise he’ll turn out to be the ne’er-do-well that most of them are. It seems that those who have to fight to live have the eas iest time after all to make their lives count for something. They have that priniahnstinct of self preservation to aid them which the rich man does not have. He must constantly tight his inclination for inactivity, an inclination which would come to the best of us were w r e in his situation. So let those who aie bewailing their lot remember that tney can win nothing without a struggle, and it they want to claim the winnings they must do their own struggling. If you would have friends, cultivate solitude instead of so ciety. Drink in the ozone, bathe in the sunshine, and out in the silent night, under the stais, say to yourself again and yet again, “I am a part of all my eyes behold!” And the feeling will surely come to you that you are no mere inter loper between earth and sky; but that you are a necessary particle of the whole. —Elbert Hubbard, NO-
