He Travels FASTEST
What Is the moral? Who rides may
read,
When the night Ia thick and the
tracks are blind,
A friend at pinch is friend indeed;
But fool to wait for the laggard
behind:
Down TO Gehenna or up to the Throne
He travels the fastest who travels
alone.
One may fall. but he falls by him
SELF
Falls by himself with himself TO
blame;
One may attain. and in him Is the pelf.
Loot OF the city OF Gold or Fame:
Plumber OF earth shall be all his own
Who travels the fastest and travels
alone.
Wherefore the more ys be holpen and
stayed
Stayed by friend in the hour OF
toll,
Sihg the hereticsl song have made
His be the labor and yours be the
spoil
Win by the aid and the aid disown-
He travels the fastest who travels
alone.
-Kipling.

Our modern toys are as ingenious as

young people OF Europe and America
have no monopoly In this regard. For
centuries the children OF the far East

as IL touches the water II begins to
absorb the same and to expand almost
indefinitely. AS II increases In size Il
