the force that is less constant. Indeed,
there never lived a man who came to any
thing who lacked this quality of pertinacity
and adherence.
How is it that the mountain climber
reached that summit of 23OO0 feet? Plainly
by going on and on until his foot was on
the last stone and the whole earth was
under his feet.
The motto of David Livingstone was in
these words: II determined never to stop
until / had come TO the end and achieved
my purpose" When Livingstone's work
in Africa was done the dark continent
was mapped out and spread fully before the
merchants of the world. He crossed Africa
four times and marched for days up to his
armpits in water, endured twenty-seven at
tacks OF fever, was surrounded with enc
mics on every side, faced mutiny, poisoned
arrows, wild beasts, the bite of serpents
but never gave up. BY sheer dogged per-
sstence and faith in God he conquered,
acting as If he thought his body was as I'M
mortal as his spirit
Young man., hold fast TO your purpose.
If trouble rains blows on your fingers grip
your work the harder. II you are utterly
worn out, sleep, and then smilingly lift your
burden and climb on. Difficulties are chal-
lenges TO character. Even your success is
but a place where you are TO encamp for
the night. When morning comes march on.
Be not content TO get forward try 10 get
up. Never let go of your work. never give
up your ideals and never desert your duty.
And when the end comes, as IL will, though
you regret a thousand things in life, you
never will regret holding fast TO the inter
ests committed to your hands--Dr. Newell
Dwight Hills in the Record-Herald.

PATIENT PLODDERS GET THERE
Prizes of Life Are Less tO the Swift
Than to the Persistent
Worker.

wide outlook upon life tells US that the
prizes OF life are less to the swift than 20
the patient plodders. Looking back upon
his long career with his students, Mark
Hopkins once said that If the brilliant boys
carried off the recitations, the plodders
carried Off life's prizes.
Every college-bred man can recall illus
trations OF this shrewd observation. The
student who was universally admired was
the one who fingered on the campus with
the field sports until the last moment, then
rushed to his room, flung down his cap
snatched up his book glanced at the lesson
thought like lightning, drew on his reserves
in answering questions. and, drawing out
the professor, who did the real reciting, and
so gleefully making brilliant recitation. -
Just beside him was another student, who
had toiled half the night over the same
lesson. mastered every jot and title but
who blundered in telling what he knew
and was marked a grade lower than his
superficial fellow.
Then when twenty years have passed the
plodder is the employer. trusted, honored
and successful. The first youth did not
gain the heights by his sudden, brilliant
flight. The second reached the height,
climbing in the night while the other slept.
The history OF men of achievement is
the history of persistent plodding. Glbbon
writes his memoirs nine times. Newton
rewrites his chronology sixteen times Ad-
Olson collects three volumes of reflections
before he writes his first paper for the
Spectator. Turner made 30O0e drawings
and ended with his "Slave Ship" and i'm
mortality. The great words are purpose
and perseverance Blessed is the youth who
can say This one thing / do" and who
understands the other injunction TO hold
fast the chosen purpose.
The rewards Of persistence Justify this
emphasis. The husbandman sows his seed
and tolls on, and persistence reaps the har-
vest. The scholar opens his books and tolls
on, and persistence reaps fame. The re-
former attacks the evil and tolls on. and
persistence destroys the evil. The force

A LESSON IN HOSPITALITY
Chalk Up Twelve Meals
to the Company.

Twelve schoolma ans from Chicago,
debtor to Santa Fe railroad, for soup,
steaks, chops, potatoes, tomatoes ct al-S2i"
The "et al" in this account is to be taken
seriously, although one waiter who served
the schoolma ans insisted on joking about
It in dismal sort OF way.
"They near ct al, foh fack," he said
The identity of the schoolma ans is
secret with the railroad. All were passen-
gers on the Santa Fe train from the west
due TO arrive In Chicago at s:47 o'clock
Tuesday evening, and were on their sum
mer vacation outings after a school year
spent in Iowa and Kansas.
CONSERVATION fell on the contingent when
the train stopped midway between Nixon
and Fort Madison, Ia, and it was explained
that, because Of a washout, further prog
ress toward Chicago would be delayed in
definitely. The distress was accentuated by
a summons from the diner
Breakfast is now ready" was the call
of the wild.
The twelve confded in one another.
II can't afford to eat in the diner" said
one. I'd figured on railway station lunches
In fact, I'm nearly broke. And here we
are, way out on the prairie"
The others made similar confessions. 1t
was decided to pick wild flowers instead of
eating breakfast. The party had lett the
train when a broker from Wichita, Kan,
named Walter II. Ward, came forward with
! a helpful suggestion.
Better go in the diner and get a swell
meal before you start out" he advised
"You know in case OF a delay the railroad
| company stands treat for all the eatings."
| The twelve beamed upon Mr.. Ward and
rushed for the diner. They inspected the
menu cards closely and critically and they
ordered from II exhaustlvely and apprecla-
! lively. The walters were impressed. They
thought they were catering 10 a lot OF
! Equitable stenogrsphers.
! When the meal was finished there were
no tips. Neither was there any money In
payment for the checks which the walters
| presented.
TITS on the railroad you know" ex-
plained the youngest school teacher, pleas
| antly.
Then the twelve rose and walked out OF
