On investigation and inquiry this ex-

Too Confident.

Much Of our success depends upon the
quality of self-corfidence. but in it's
extreme it often plays trick that re-
strains us somewhat. Remembering
such modification it is pleasant to re-
fleet that the greatest men have met
with similar check.
When Mr.. Gladstone was a young

"What books do you take up:" the
examiner asked of him.

Gladstone. PRAY examine me in any
book you like"
Then the examiner grinned an ugly,
and malicious grin, and produced a
corrupt and grabbed chorus from one
of the less read plays of Aristophanes,
and invited Mr.. Gladstone to transla te
it. He could not do so. No one could
have done so who had not seen it be-
fore, and the result was that Mr.. Glad
stone was more careful when he tried a
second time.
