HOW DEMOSTHENES WON OUT
Simply Found Out What He Could Do
 and Then Did It.

De-mos-the-nes was young A-the- ni-an who was ambitious to win fame as an el-o-cu-tion-ist. Un-fort- u-nately, however, he suffered from an impeachment in his speech and was also extremely bash-ful. Nothing daunt-ed by these seeming ly in-sur- -mount-a-ble obstacles, he employed the best teachers and studied diligently to perfect him. self in his chosen profession.
 Now, in those days medical sci ence was not so far advanced as it is at the present time, and the secret of curing stam-mer-ing in twenty les sons by mail was as yet unknown. Consequently De-mos-the-nes made very little progress.
 Seeing that the fates were against him, our hero cast about for some means to cir-cum-vent the ma-lign deities. At last bright idea struck him, but he said nothing about it until the annual or-a-tor-i-cal con- test was about to begin. Then he as-ton-ished his friends by an-nounc- ing himself as -pet-i-tor for the gold medal. Every one predicted that he would be left at the post, but De-mos-the-nes kept quiet and took all bets that were offered. He was a fifty to one shot, and there was all kinds of money in it if he could win.
 When the e-vent-ful evening ar rived it was found that De-mos-the- nes was down on the programme for an initiation of a bash-ful young man who stut-tered, re-cit-ing, Cur few Shall Not Ring ToNight." It is needless to say that he took the house by storm and won the med in walk. After that his fame was as- sured, and he was offered an engage ment with vaudeville syndicate at prince-ly salary. He never dis played any great degree of ver-satil- i-ty-in fact, the only thing he could do was to im-i-tate bash-ful young man who tered, but there was no denying that he did that to the queens taste.
 The best way to succeed in life is to find out your best stunt and then work it for all it is worth.-Isaac An derson, in N. Y. Herald.
