Haven't You Felt That Way:

By Maurice Smiley.
Haven't you often worn goggles oi
blue,
And seeing Life's sham and its
shame,
Felt it was all big scramble, and you
Might as we'll get into the game
That nothing much mattered but a
big bunch of cash,
And the man who was good was Jay,
And the whole blooming country was
going to smash
Haven't YOU, haven't you felt that
way?
Haven't you felt it was hardly worth
while
To try to live up to your best?
And haven't you smiled a cynical
smile
And something way down in your
Whispered Life had a prize that was
higher than gold
And sweeter than fame or display?
And the faith that had slipped took a
brand-new hold:
Haven't you, haven't you felt that
way?
Aud didn't peace come near that was
far
And urge you to strive toward it
still?
And didn't you turn your face to a
star,
And didn't you say II wlll.''
And weren't you stronger, and didn't
you find
The world was better, and didn't it
To be brave and patient and cherry
and kind:
Haven't you, haven't YOU ielt that
way?

not cure Group and Whooping Cough

EptsoN's TRIUMPH
An Incident In the Great Inventors
Start In Life.

Start In Life.
DR.. Norvin Green, for many years
president Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, once said that but
for the dullness Of himself and his as
sistants Thomas A. Edison might new
er have obtained the confidence and
support Of the great corporation. Ed
ison had been trying for months to In
duce the officials to take up some of
his inventions until they began to re-
gard him as a bore.
He went to the main Office one day
and was greeted by DR.. Norvin Green
and the other officials with sneering
smiles. DR.. Green said: "Mr. Edison,
we are unable to get into communica-
ton with Albany, and a large amount
Of important business is in peril. 1
suppose that since you know more
about telegraphy than all Of the rest
of us combined you can locate the diff
fculty."
Whether Edison noticed the sneering
tone or moi, he quietly answered, 81
can locate it inside Of two or three
hours, sir"
DR.. Green and the others laughed out
right, n Of them saying, Edison, you
have now fully demonstratedrth that you
are q crank"
Edison smiled or addressed a
word to the speaker, but looked at DR..
Green and said, IF I locate this diff
Guilty in two or three hours, will you
take up my inventions and give them
honest confederation"
/ Eyes, L WILL" DE. Green land /:
will do. it IL you succeed in two days"
It was a very simple thing, and yet
Edison val the only n who had the
comprehensive mind to think Of it in
stantly. He did not tell them for many
years afterward how he accomplished
the feat, but he did it inside Of n
hour.
Edison went to the main of1ces,
where he was known as an expert OPP
orator, and called up Pittsburg. He
asked for the best operator there, nam
ing him, and then told the Pittsburg
man to call up the best man ut Albany
and direct him to telegraph down the
line toward New York as far as he
could and report back to Edison as soon
as possible. Inside Of an hour Edison
had this telegram:
II a telegraph all right down to
within two miles Of Poughkeepsie, and
there is trouble with the wire there" .
Edison went back to the Office Of the
president and gravely announced that
If a train should be sent to Poughkeep-
sic with materials for the work they
would find a break in the line just two
miles on the other side of Poughkeep-
sic and could repair it that afternoon.
They begged him to tell how he had
found it out, and he replied:
"By knowing about telegraph
ing than all Of you put together, as DIR.
Green has said"
They located the break, repaired it.
and DR.. Green took up Edison's inven-
tons, and that was Edison's great start
in life.-Youth's Companion.
