hood Triumphs.

The right kind of boy doesn't care
about being a president or prime
minister when he becomes man. To
be a great fighter or great ball
player covers the. remotest ends OF
his ambition. Then when he is man
and his mind is swinging in its greater
orbit, he suddenly finds that he has a
heart and stomach and that his
limbs move less swiftly. He is con-
soled by the reach and agility of his
brain. And toward the last, when
his work Is all done and the few re-
naming days are spent in looking
backward he sees far beyond the
achievements of his manhood; does
not regard the impress upon his time
which his mind has made, but fondles
again the physical successes of his
growing years-the running races and
the swimming pools! He may have
taken a city in his summit days, yet
