AchieUinS Fame.

The two chief aims in life are to gain happi-
ness and lasting fame "What has he done?' This
interrogation is frequently asked It shows the
trend of our thought and indicates in what direction
our energies are bent. The nations, like individuals,
all striving for power and supremacy. Territory
is being wrested from the weaker nations in order to
add to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of more powerful antag-
onist With individuals the desire for fame is as
great as it ever was. Men are striving with every
ounce Of energy taxed to it's utmost win fame and
a lasting name-a name that will be remembered a
thousand years hence. The means sought to achieve
this laudable end are various. No hardship is too
great but what man is willing to risk life at the
shrine of fame. From the adolescent stage to the
final dissolution pursues this phantom with in
different results Some are successful but the vast
majority signs over hopes unreallzed 1t is dream
we all cherish. There are few persons but what
have built castles on the Rhine.
Washington won lasting fame by winning con-
tinent Benjamin Franklin won his fame when he
sent his kite aoft and captured of Joves thunder
bolts Patrick Henry defed tyrant to do his worst
and won immortal fame When he dramatically ex-
claimed, "Give liberty give me DEATH his
words echoed around the world. Sir John Franklin
braved the perils of the frozen quest of fame
Galleo said these three little words 1T does move
and established his fame for all time. Columbus
sailed across the ocean and won his right to fame.
Those who have gained fame as great war
riors are legion. They exceed those who, like Mar
tin Luther, achieved renown by peaceful methods.
The paths that lead to fame are never closed While
competitors for it's honors are in every hamlet
throughout the world, opportunities never lack
ing to become famous. Fame is within the reach Of
all. It Smiles so to speak, rich and poor alike.
