When Miss Jenkins, after spending
fifty-six years in the city of her birth,
decided to buy a small farm in the
country she determined to miss none of
the delights of farming life.
"I'm going to have a steady horse and
two cows and some hens" she an
nounced to her brother, to whom she
proudly displayed her new property.
"The Adams boy from the next house
will help Inc about everything. He'll
drive the cows and milk and teach me
how to harness, and of course shall
feed the hens and the little pig"
THE little pig!' echoed her brother.
do you propose to keep pig? And
where, I should like to know?'
"rhere's room for small pigpen
back of the barn, away from the road
and everything" said Miss Jenkins
calmly. "NIr. Adams has some cum
ming little pigs, and that is what wish.
And l asked the Adams boy If he
thought when the pig had outgrown the

Some People Are Blind to Chances.
1t is n dangerous thing to wait for op-
portunities until it becomes habit.
Energy and inclination for hard work
ooze out in the waiting. Opportunity
becomes invisible to those who are do
ing nothing or looking somewhere else
for it. 1t is the great worker, the man
who is alert for chances, that sees them.
Some people become so opportunity
blind that they cannot see chances any
where-they would pass through gold
mine without noticing anything pre-
cious-while others will find opportuni-
ties in the most barren and out of the
way places. Bunyan found opportunity
in Bedford Jail to write the greatest al
legory in the world OH the UNFINISHED
paper that had been used to cork his
bottles of milk. A Theodore Parker or
Lucy Stone sees an opportunity to go
to college in a chance to pick berries.
One boy sees an opening to his ambi-
ton in a chance to chop wood, wait on
table or run errands, where another
sees no chance at all. One sees an OPP
portunity to get an education in the
odds and ends OF time evenings and
half holidays, which another throws
