went bustling into the store and said:

land like her sunny Berkshire" As
to the country people, they were un-

and respectful manners. One day Miss
Milford was walking through a pas

There was lad driving a COW, and
his manners were to be tested Now
said Miss Milford, ''you will see how
gallant are our country folk" There
was a gate to be opened, and the boy
opened it, and the ladies passed
through. There was triumph on the

lady put question to the boy, You're

HUMAN VITALITY.
Cultivate and Converse Both the Men,
tai and the PHYSICAL.


If people realized how precious phys
icaI and mental vitality are they
would not squander them by foolish
ness any more readily than they would
tap their veins and squander their life
blood
To accomplish great things we must
have strong, vigorous life force, a
powerful vitality. If we do not have
these everything we do will bear the
stamp of weakness. 1t will crop out
in every act. 1t is the strong Vitality
that tells in the great struggle of life.
1t is the reserve power that enables
the runner to keep going when others
fall exhausted by the way.
1t is a great art to learn to accumu-
late and conserve vitality, to store 1t
away for future emergencies. 1t is
success capital You may succeed
without money, but you cannot sue
coed without physical and mental cap
ital. 1t is the strong vitality that wins.
The plus force, the physical and men
tai energies themselves are the things
that enable one to surmount difficulties
and ride triumphantly over obstacles.
1t is very shortsighted policy to try
to crowd the brain beyond its normal
capacity, to force a tired mind to do
good work, to force it to think when
1t needs rest or recreation.
Many people work so much that they
do not store any reserve power. They
use up all the power they generate as
they go along. All creative work es-
pecially requires fresh brain, vigor-
Gus, spontaneous thought.
have noticed that people who think
they must work every minute, who are
always doing something, do not accom-
plish nearly as much nor produce work
of as good quality as those who
labor great deal less and play a
great deal more In other words. their
play is a great producer because It
keeps the mind and body in splendid
trim for work; it lubricates the facui-
ties, restores balance, keeps the mind
fresh sane and vigorous.
All effective work is a result of con-
centrated faculties A tired and ex-
hausted brain cannot focus its ideas
with any power 1t is not so much a
question of viii power as a question
of vigorous mentality, and that is a
child of pure blood; it depends upon 4
hundred other Conditions being just
right.-Success Magazine

more dignity In the playing, adding
that Isolde was the daughter of king.
