out and disputed the right of possession
DIR. Eddy, after hasty glance at the

the right of eminent domain, ought t.

fish bites it off. *
Men may be divided into two
classes-those who have zone
thing, and those who have no cone
thing, to do; those with aim, and
those without aim, in their lives :
and practically it turns out that
nearly all of the success, and there
fore the greater part of the happi-
ness, go to the first class. The aim
in life is what the, backbone is in
the body: without we are inverte-
brate, belong to some lower order of
being not yet man. No wonder
that the great question, therefore,
with young man is, What am ! to
be and that the future looks rath-
er gloomy until the life path opens.
The lot of many a girl, especially
of many girl with rich father, is
tragedy of aimlessness. Social
standards, and the lack of true ideals
and of real education, have con-
demned her to be FILTERED: from
twelve years old she is cripple to
be pitied, and by thirty she comes
to know it. With the brothers the
blame is more their own. The boys
we used to play our school games
with have found their places they
are winning homes, and influence
and money their natures are grow
ing strong and shapely, and their
days are filing with the happy
sense Of accomplishment-while we
do not yet know what we are. We
have no meaning on the earth.
Lose us and the earth has lost moth
ing; no niche is empty, no force has
ceased to play, for we have got no
aim, and therefore we are still-no-
body.
Get your meaning, first of all |!
Ask the question until it is answered
past question, What am l? What
do | stand for? What name do l
bear in the register of forces? In
our nationtl cemeteries there are
rows on rows of unknown bodies of
our soldiers-men who did a work
and put meaning to their lives I;
for the mother and the townsmen
say, "He died in the war;, But
the men and women whose lives
are aimless, reverse their fate. Our
bodies are known, and answer in
this world to such and such a name
but as to our inner selves, with
real aud awful meaning our walking
bodies might be labeled IAN I'M
