letic event Of the times and the
records made here will stand as per.

" Athens, the birthplace Of these royal

Atlantic.

Briton challenging the strength and
prowess of the American. The Indian,
the Japanese, the Filipino and half d
dozen other races will be represented
In these contests. and the winners Of
the prizes will be svictors indeed.
While these sports are revived from
the long ago, they are by no means to
be old-fashioned. All Of the contests
are under the auspices of the Ameri.
Athletic union, and the officials
who. have charge of the events were
appointed by the union. Modern rules
will prevail throughout all Of the
games.

a bridge and then keeps finding
better places to put his piers and
wondering whetherhe has selected
the best location or not, will never
get the bridge across the river. He
must decide, then go ahead and
build the bridge, no matter what
obstacle he may strike. So it is
with the builder Of character, says
0. S. Marden, in Success, he must
decide finally what he will do, and
then make for his goal, refusing to
look back or be moved from his
course.
Tens of thousands Of young pco.
pie with good health, good educa.
ton, and good ability, are stand
ing on the end of a bridge, at life's
crossing. They hope they are on
the right way, they think they are
doing the right thing, and yet they
do not dare.t to burn the bridge they
have just crossed. They want Il
change for retreat in case they
have made a mistake. They can
not bear the thought of cuttingof
all possibility of turning back.
They lack the power to decide con.
clusively what course they will
take.
