Ambition.

A normal desire for wealth, hon.
ors, power, social preferment, etc.,
is very admirable quality in ev-
ery one, and in fact is absolutely
essential to every success OF life.
Nothing at all of any value can be
wrought or accomplished by an
unconcerned passivity, entirely
destitute of either active sympa-
thy or active Resistance. In a
word, ambition is that incentive,
that magnet, which by it's unseen
and, might say almost unknown
force impels us to combative-
ness, or to occupy stand OF NOR
al resistance, which will give to
us, or at least assist, the things
which civilize. Custom and in

If for faults among your friends you look,
You will find them without doubt,
If you give and look for kindnesses,
You will find them all about.
OF such texture human nature is,
Like an echo 1t gives back
The last word, whatever II may mean,
And good sense may sometimes lack,
Like the minnow In the gentle brook,
Broken quite with pebbles thrown.
But serenely smiling all the day.
Where the sunbeams play alone.
So 1t goes, this busy life of ours,
Seeking what we most desire,
Win it, when we give it all away
The love that lifts us higher.

influence you have over the ami
!! mails; in other words, it is simply
case of mind over matter. But
he says, on the. other hand, relax
that concentration, and your ami
NAL is aware of it in one second.
H(e claims that it is then the
trainer meets with the accidents
we read of.
Mr.. Chas. Judge, the little Eng
lishman, who has the great troupe
of seals and sea lions, as we'll as
the riding leopard and the horse,
says that seals and sea lions are
the easiest of all animals to train,
and the wonderful stunts we see
them perform on the stage, are
only play for them. Mr.. j
says they are natural jugglers, and
that they love tobacco smoke.
And when you come to think it
over that is about all they do on
the stage. The trainer is respon-
sible for the success of the act.
If he is slow and dead in his
movements, so are his animals.
On the other hand, if he is full of
ginger" his animals are, too.
It was fortunately my privilege
to be present when Mr.. J. was
breaking a new seal into his act.
How long do you think he was in
breaking that seal? Two days,
that's all. Mr.. j told me that
ih breaking his other act, the rid
Ing leopard and the horse, eleven
horses were killed before he could
get one that would not show fear
of the leopard. He would lead the
horses into the steel arena and up
to the pedestal on which the Loop
ard was sitting. If they became
stampeded it was all day with
them, they never got out of the
arena alive. He told me that he
was about to give up the idea,
when he got his present horse, a
beautiful m-colored stallion.
When he led him into the arena,
Mr.. j says that he went up to
the leopard, shifted at him couple
of times, and then stood as uncon-
cerned as tho he was in his stall
in the stable. He also told me that
it was a toss up as to which was
the meanest, the leopard or the
stallion. 1 know 1 would just as
soon 90 into one of the cages as
to go near that horse. 1 am will
ing to bet that he is the meanest
stallion alive, and that is saying
good deal. In fact the only being
or thing the horse is afraid of is
Mr.. j and as strange as it
may seem, this gentleman does
not weigh over one hundred and
twenty pounds, but is all the goods
with animals.
Mr.. Boyer claims that next to'the
tiger the polar bear is the hardest
animal to train. He says that it
not only takes longer for the polar
bear to conceive the meaning the
trainer wishes to impart, but when
they do understand what is re-
CURED of them, they never forget
it. He claims the polar bear is
the only animal which does not
give warning of attack. He has
no tail to wag and he always car
ries his head down in a swinging
manner, so that you can never
tell when they are going to
rush you as Mr.. Boyer puts it.

different acts. So I think l can
safely tell you some OF the meth
DDS the trainers use in breaking
wild animals, as we'll as give you
at second hand the ideas OF such
great animal trainers, as Herman
Boyer, the big German, who
trained and performed the big
group of mixed animals. In his
troupe are Bengal tigers, polar
bears, leopards, pumas, black
panthers, (the only black panthers
ever trained successfully lions,
etc. This act is conceded to be
the greatest animal act in the
world. It takes some studying to
understand how this troupe of
mixed species of wild animals per-
form in harmony such wonderful
stunts as eating raw meat from
the trainers naked hand, while all
are seated around a large table,
and the meat stacked up high.
Yet not one of these animals offers
to touch that meat until the train
er offers it to them. That is truly
wonderful.
Mr.. Boyer never whips his ami
mails unless they do something
pretty bad, and then, MS he says,
they get it good and plenty. He
once told me the following when
I asked him regarding an article
in one of the leading magazines
stating that certain young lady
trainer never whipped her ami
mails, but when they got bad, she
simply threatened them with a
steel bar such as all trainers of
wild animals carry: "If they did
not know what that steel bar could
do to them, and fear it, why should
she threaten them with it?" Of
course I knew what he referred
to, as I had seen that steel bar
brought into play on many occa-
sions, and the logic of Mr.. Boger's
remark struck me as being pretty
good. He also told me that the
very first thing the trainer has to
do. is to subdue his animals, and
next to let them know that you
are the boss and not they. He al
SO claims that successful animal
training is not trade, but an en-
dowment from God. To illustrate,
he said: "Go into some theatre, and
see some player come on the stage,
and before he has opened his
mouth to speak, he has made what
is commonly known as a hit.
Why? Personal magnetism. And
the more animal magnetism you
are endowed with, the greater
trainer you will make" I suppose
his meaning of animal magnetism,
is magnetism appealing to the
animal nature.
Mr.. Rubin Castins, the funny
clown, who with his goats and dogs
is wonder, but quite a different
person when you see him in the
arena with his riding Bengal tiger
and the elephant. Mr.. c. told
me that when he mentioned break
ing this wonderful act to Mr..
Hagenbeck, that gentleman told
him he was crazy, and said IN
his droll way: Rubin, my boy,
let me feel Of your head; what in
the world are you talking about to
bring the two natural enemies OF
the jungle together, and make
them live as well as perform in
harmony! Impossible; it can't
be done" Nevertheless it was
done. and the act today is one Of
the wonders of the amusement
world. The public does not real

herent desire proclaims to be our
and natural inheritance.
Without fixed purposes. often.
necessarily upheld by strenuous
efforts and guided by reasonable
ambition, human progress would
cease and our present glories and
great achievements would rapidly
decline into utter oblivion.
Consider how indispensable
certain amount of ambition is to
the fulfillment of the ordinary and
every day requirements. Then,
indeed, this must increase in pro-
portion to the magnitude Of the
undertaking we desire to promote.
Like all other psychological
qualities this one can, and may,
by wise discretion and pure aims,
be directed to the accomplishment
of priceless service or lasting ben
efts to individuals or nations.
Or by the reverse of such discre-
ton and aims, it's potency may be
made a determing factor in ulti-
mate ruin and degradation.
In the successful ending of all
great endeavors this attribute has
most invariably been accepted as
a divine inspiration. Likewise
where it's conception and designs
have been base or impure, and it's
attainment opposed to universal
good, it has always been subjected
to severe and just criticism from a
fairly discerning and scrupulous
public.
Witness the achievement of the
pioneers of our own America!
Men who could not be contented
to inertly abide in the old ruts of
an unprogressive and almost stag
nant civilization! But led by a
sublime and almost holy ambition,
amidst much toll and hardships
and multiplied dangers, led the
van of civilization into the hearts
of the then, mighty wilderness.
Generally speaking the ambiti-
Gus man is one who seeks political
power, believing it alone can add
that luster to fame which cannot
be obtained from any other source.
How often when striving for this
goal do they descend below the
common virtues and thereby sully
the very splendor they have sacri-
feed so much to obtain.
Such ambition, as Caesar and
Napoleon had, were partly if not
wholly, especially in the case of
the latter. of that character which
undisguisedly seeks personal ag-
grandizement. This quality, which
is either debased or made noble
by its very intent, perhaps, reached
higher altitude in Napoleon
than ever in any other individual.
And being exerted, solely, to graf
ify prodigious desire, wholly in
excusable in an ordinary intellect,
almost amounts to an unpardon-
able sin in such a genius; the
more 50 when we reflect on the
enormous number of lives he so
ruthlessly sacrificed on that insane
and inhuman altar.
With Caesar we can afford to
be, and [ believe are, more
lenient. Even his ambition great
ly exceeded the limit we are wont
to attach to such a quality, we
cannot but reflect the vast amount
of good he did his countrymen by
his wise and judicial policy of
discipline and government. And
after all was it not false, if an
