"THAT'S HOW"

After great snow storm little fellow began 10
shovel path through large snow bank before
bis grandmother's door. He had nothing to work
with but small shovel.
"How do you expect to get through that drift"
asked man passing along
by keeping AT IT." said the boy cheerfully,
"that's how"
That is the secret Of Transferring almost every diff.
6cul.y under the sun. II hard task is before
you, stick to It, Do not keep thinking how large
or hard It is but go at it, and little by little 1t will
grow smaller and smaller until 1t Is done.
II hard lesson is to be learned, DO not spend
moment in frettirg; do not lose a breath in say
Ing, II can't" or"I do not see how" but go att
and keep at 1t. Study That is the way to CON
quer it
If a fault is to be cured, or bad habit broken
of, 1t can't be done by merely beirg sorry or only
trying little, You must keep fighting 1t and
not give up fighting until It is got rid Of.
