There are some people who are
chronic grumblers and born kickers.
They never make a success of any
thing, but always complain, are given
to whining and to making excuses.
Others who are made out of the right
kind of material do not make ex-
cuses. they work and forge ahead.
They do not wait for an opportunity !;
they make It. Those who complain
of no chance confess their weakness
their lack of efficiency. They show
that they are not equal TO the
occasion-they are not greater than
the obstacle that confronts them.

A Discreet servant.

A certain duke was dining in full kilt
dress at a highland anniversary din
ner, his piper standing behind his
chair. AT dessert a very handsome and
valuable snuffbox belonging to one of
the guests was handed round When
the time came to return it to its owner
the snuffbox could not be discovered
anywhere. A search was made, but
with no result, the duke being especial
~ anxious about it.
On the next anniversary he again
donned the kilt-which he had not
worn in the interval-for the annual
dinner. AS he was dressing he hap
rened to put his hand in his sporran
and there, to his establishment, found
the box which had been lost at the
last years dinner He turned to his
piper and said:
why, this is the snuffbox we were
all looking for! Did you not see me
put it away in my sporran?"
Eyes, your grace"
'Then why did you not tell me?'' de-
manded the duke.
Because I thought your grace re-
quired the little matter kept quiet" re
sponded the piper. with a knowing
