RUSSIAN Lion a Wonder.

George y Hackenschmidts commonly
called the Russian liorEH is Russian
only by the accident 'of birth. BY
blood he Is part German and part
Swede. He is described DIS man
with a students face and gladi-
ator's body, massive OF torso, catlike
in quickness and as kind Of disposi-
tion as sound In wind and limb" He
has long been famous abroad, but
seems unsDolled by admiration. His
extraordinary qualities as wrestler
are explained as due to combination
OF muscular strength, common enough
in men of bulk, and that nervous
strength which In the bodies 81 slen-
der men makes them 80 formidable.

AMBITION SHOULD NOT wANE.
II IT Does, There Is surely Something
Wrono Somewhere.

The idea seems to be pretty general
hat ambition is born in us; that we
have little or nothing TO do with its
acquisition or cultivation, and that we
cannot modify. enlarge, stimulate or
improve II to any great extent says
Success. A study OF life does not con-
firm this idea: that the ambition IL
a cultivated quality capable of being
nodded or destroyed, according as We
Will, is demonstrated every day In the
lives of those about us We see peo-
pie in whom the spark of ambition is
kindled suddenly by the reading of
book, the hearing of . lecture or the
speaking of kindly word by friend
or teacher, and. on the other hand, We
see those who allow their ambition to
slowly die out for want OF fuel
The death OF ambition is one OF the
tragedies of life. When a young man
feels his ambition begin to fade there
the wrong environment and bis faeui-
ties protest against what he is trying
to do. or some vicious habit is drain
ing his energy or his health is poor.
or he is being led into dissipation by
bad companions. A youth whose am
bition begins to wane Is not In a
normal condition. When he ia not
stimulated BY noble purpose. and
filled with desire to become a strong
man, there is something wrong some
4 where.
