uncIe Tobey's Lecture ss On Pluck .s.

in life than gold. There are few that are not grander. Pluck will win you friends and challenge the admiration of the world. The road may be rough and the path lined with thorns, but keep a stiff upper lip and a brave heart, and when you have reached the pinnacle of success the sears you bear will be high legacies for your children. Men without pluck are of no more account than straw men, and straw men are fit for nothing but to scare the crows out of the corniield.
 The boy who inherits or aceam- iulates large quantity of pluck has more than an education. He has that which will give him an education, and will make 1t of some account to him when he has it.
 The plucky boy is seIf-reliant, and has an object in life. He has a heart for every fate. He de- fies opposition and laughs at diff culties. He climbs the ruggedest hills, for he knows that the exer- else makes his muscles firm, his eyes clear, and his nerves steady. It was Dayy Crockett who said: Know you are right and then go ahead. . There is q whole sermon in that sentence. We should al- ways know that we are right But even If we are right and don t go ahead we amount to nothing. We are like q pump winthout handle, or an engine without steam To go ahead means pluck Uncle Dayy Crockett had plenty of 1t. It put him in #Crongress. It sent him to Texas in the interest of lib erty, and helped to give undying fame to the Alamo,
 Ever since this old world began there have been dark days. And there Il be more. It is the storms that try the hearts of men. IL is the struggle that hardens his mus cles and steadies his nerves. It is adyersity that develops pluck, and pluck again snatches success from the grasp of diversity. A thons- and dark and gloomy mornings have ended in the most glorious sunset. Many a dark cloud has passed over and left a clear sky. There are always better days b,- fore Us. Hope never dies. Nd tions and people die and paSs off the state of action, but hope lives on forever. Hope bpckons Us for wa~ x~wxs~ ww@~~y.xrx Sw@swp

 world. Much of what we call gen uius ie common, everyday, home made pluck. A man who has pluck needs but little else. The rest will follow. Some men are more fortunate in their environ ments than others, but pluck lev els all inequalities. Life is a sue eession of ups and downs-hills and valleys. They rise before us and hedge Us in on every side. Love, ambition, wealth, honor, success and power are on the hill tops The road is rugged and sometimes steep. There are ra- vines to cross, streams to ford and chasms to bridge. But pluck picks us up and nerves Us to the effort. Sometimes we are in strange lands, but the music of the woods and songs of birds are just as sweet. If we desire to succeed iu life some where. on some of those hills that confront us Is the goul on which we have set our hearts. To reach 1t, we must climb the hill. There are no life gems in the valleys. God has set them on the hill-tops. But the stout of heart, the plucl1y of soul will reach them somehow and press them to their bosoms.
 True greatness consists in the act of achieving 1t. It has been said that some men are born great. It is lie. Men cannot be born great. They may be born in the shadow of greatness and rcyel in its resplendent light, but 1t is only the reflection of the greatness of others. When Napoleon dropped down into Italy to the consterna- tion of his enemies and the aston ishment of the world, he was al- ready great. Not because he was in Italy. but for the reason that he had taken an army across the Alps --a feat which engineers had pro- nounced an impossibiity. It was the pluck of this young Corsican that carried him and an army, with its equipment of heavy aatiIIery and supplies, over rugged steppes that had hitherto been considered impossible.
 Look around you, and see who 1t is that succeeds. It isn't the man or boy who drops his lower jaw when he sees an obstacle loom up in front of him. It isn't the timid heart that shields himself be- hind the Fools adjective: I can t.
 Your Uncle Tobey knows boys, or rather young men, who haven t pluck enough to pop the question. Some day some other fellow who has the pluck will come along and pop it, and then-well, then, the gosling's gone. l believe that three-fourths of the men who are married would never have reached the goal, had it not been for the encouragement and tact of their sweethearts, who had more pluck than they had. And some of these women are like the old darkey who traded q mess of fish for a wife: he often wished afterward that he had ate the fish But somehow, when a woman takes q notion to go to a wedding she is going, even if 1t has to be her own and she does get the worst end of the bargain. But the pluck that enabled her to win what she thought was a husband, sustains her in the discovery that it was nothing but a barroom lounger and prominent member of the Order of Common Plugs.
