STUDEBAKER WAGON.

Under date of April 2, 1901, Lord
Roberts, in his official report of the
progress of the war in South Africa.
said:
"Wagons were imported for trial
from the United States, and these
proved to be superior to any other
make of either Cape or English manu-
facture. The wheels were of hickory
and the metal work of steel. They
were built by Messrs Studebaker Bros.
Mfg. CO., who have a great wagon
mandatory at South Bend, Ind. The
superiority of these vehicles was
doubtless due to the fact that such
wagons are largely used in America
for the carriage of goods as we'll as for
military transport. The manufacture
ers have, therefore learned by practic-
al experience what is the best type of
wagon, and what are the most suitable
materials to employ in buildingit. 1t
may be added that the wagons in
question cost considerably less than
the Bristol pattern wagon.
This report was published in the
Gazette and The Times of London, and
then became common property.

Have an Ideal.


We all have or should have ideals of
life: a standard or character, some
rules or principles, as guides to ac-
ton. These should be such as will
make US the best, truest and nohlest
men that our minds can conceive OF.
These who cannot form clear outlines
of a type Of manliness should study
the traits of character which go to
make someone whom they know wor-
thy of admiration. Few but have
someone in the mind 5 eve, who stands
a representative of worth. 1t is
especially well for the young to observe
what 1t is that makes a man a hero TO
them. Few young men are without
someone who stands for hero in
their estimation. Hero worship is
not so Jad thing when it leads one
to cultivate the qualities Of character
that makes the hero such. Then
think, young MAN, OF your ideal man;
think what is your ideal Of the high
est character. How nearly do you
approach in your own life these noble
qualities Trim your conduct. fit
your thoughts bend your mind TO
come as nearly as possible up to this
standard.
