THE SPAN OF LIFE.
The Span of Life comes to Grand

Life is but span says the poet,

dramatist, evolved new idea of
the span Of life, and by the forma-
ton of u human bridge over

human beings walk from savage at

One preserved in a Berlin museum
represents Diana mounted on a stag
and surrounded by hounds and hunts
men. The cup consists of the hollow
body Of the silver stag, the head OF
which Is removable. The piece stands

1t would be a good thing II in our
public school courses in herolsm to
teach the boys and girls that. after all,
while heroism Is fine thing and
great thing. II is a most uncomfortable
thing and that possibly. ON the whole.
the best and most lasting work that Ia
accomplished in life comes from a
STEADY application of all ones best en-
ergies to noble purpose, meeting with
honest and patient effort the emergen'
cies and vexations of daily life and
holding true to the middle course,
which assures success without bring
ing notoriety. A fixed purpose to do
well that which one has to do will In
the end bring laurels of more perma-
nent value to the world at large and to
