That was quite a number OF years

infelicity was recalled. by some statis-
tics that recently emanated from Ber-

These statistics have been carefully
gathered from the divorce courts. and

successful by accident or by some
nuke Of luck; we don't have the
same feeling Of admiration for them.
Il isn't merely the success that we
admire. 1t is the power OF com
pelling success.
To what extent is this a power
that can be cultivated? To q very
great extent. And the rule for do

uality and in dealing with new pre-
blems, and the strong Individual
man is apt to think that there is no
room for improvement in him.
Partly it is due to a reaction from
discipline on the part OF our
large foreign population. Coming
from countries OF social and individ-
ual repression to ''land OF free
dom" their first impulse almost al.
ways is to throw of discipline and
proclaim their freedom" by some
act OF insubordination. The reac-
ton passes and they soon come to
yield obedience to the lighter bonds
|of American custom, though II
sometimes takes more than one gen.
Grafton for their children to learn
that courtesy and civility are not in
consistent with self respect. The
average school boy Of the day Is
rather terror as regards his man
ners. and manners are the first signs
of self control. The next step is to
control the mind and the power OF
application. and fsrther along in
that same road is the complete self
mastery which makes one also mas
ter of his business and his fortune.
As matter of fact it is the gen.
eral liberty in this country which
makes individual self control so
necessary. Unless you see to it
yourself, you wont be apt to get
very much discipline, and to miss
getting it is somehow about AS
serious a misfortune as can happen
to you. You don't want to 60
hunting unless you know something
about handling gun. II you are
going to explore the North Pole,
you want TO know something-and
the more the better--about sledine
and the properties Of blubber in sus'
tanning life. To 60 unprepared In
to any emergency where yoar iii'
will probably depend upon you
TRAINED ability to control the situa
ltions that must arise is obviously
Ifool-hardy.
1t is just as foolish for a younI
man to 60 into business if he is un
willing to accept the training an
discipline that are necessary t
make him a master. He may b

LOVE AND SPRING.
Love has been here in the night; and today
The city is overwrought.
Tn. streets are thrilled with a strange perfume
And life is stopped in silence and bloom
Too sweet for thought.
Love has been here in the night and today
The ache OF it is deep.
For even the pale little eager moon
Comes up from her tree tops hours too soon
For she cannot sleep.
Lose has been here in the night; and TO-DAY
The world is overstrained.
1t is only the spring? All yes, but Love
Has left Joy in the heart thereof
All unexplained.
