For a stretch Of twenty-five miles
the River Colorado in Texas. has
bridged itself with logs of wood,
which have damned SO tightly from

mite is powerless to clear a way. It
was at first only a slight jam of logs,
which three or four men could have
dealt with effectively; but it has
grown at an enormous rate, amt, in
some places, has become solid ground,
with vegetation and trees growing
upon it. Roads have been cut
through, over which teams cross from
bank to bank as unconcernedly as
though a great river was not rolling
swiftly underneath. The monster raft

A happy minded woman came from

with the girl who works-the girl with

could be no doubt.
She began with s~tenography; she

studied the work of book cover de.
signing: she even spent Il week as q
cloak model; she tried to win success
as an advertising agent. In nothing
could she achieve any success. Yet
she worked hard and was encouraged
and aided by friends. But she failed
to keep on at any of the many
branches she adopted, says Success.
1t is not always possible to see the

success that may be our due. Vase
