AMBITION TO DO
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Men Who are no Good in This
World Not Liable to
be In Next.

Some men have the ambition to do
things. Then the world hears of an
Alexander, a Caesar, a Napoleon, a
Grant.
Other men there are, says the Lon
don Mail, whose only ambition it to de
nothing, not even ''sit by the fire
and spin" When such men die the
world says: Good radiance; there
goes nobody"
Men who have ambition to do moth
ing are found everywhere. They are
the curse of society the drag of bust
ness and the dregs in the cup of life.
The other day young man was dis
charged from his position by his en-
ployer. In extenuation of himself
he said "Why do you discharge me-?
| have done nothing" Yes" said the
employer, that is just the reason |
done anything"
Years ago young man wrote to a
famous clergyman, asking him TO find
an easy position for him, and the re-
ply is said to have been: My dear
boy, there is only one easy place, and
that is in the grave" Yet there are
many young men who are in search
of the soft snap" content forever
TO sit down doing nothing, being moth
ing; living ilde, aimless lives.
Such men as these are forgetful of
the fact that wealth without labor
position without use of that position
and leisure unearned are the very
things that take away the zest of life
fill the mind of man with unutterable
bitterness and mad jealousies that in
flame the passions and incite to the
performance of the worst deeds.
Nothing comes from nothing is the
old law of life. 1t needs to be en-
phasized again and again. Every great
creation of art, every masterpiece in
literature, every victory for the right
and truth has been won at the price
of hard and continuous labor
Behind every great action there is a
great heart. Behind every noble crea-
ton there is an aspiring soul. If a
boy refuses to master his lessons he
is simply widening the distance be-
tween him and the delictable mountain
of an achieved success and is prepar-
ing himself for life of uselessness,
sloth and contemplate idleness.
A boy reading a Bible lesson came
to the words Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego. Reading and unable to
pronounce them, he skipped them. A
few days afterward, reading the same
lesson in an examination, and still I'M
able TO pronounce the hard names, he
said: There's them fellers again"
Everyday life means a daily meeting
Of some Shadrach, Meshach or Abed-
nego, and unless mastered there is abb
solutely no advance.
Work is valuable, not simply be-
cause of the outward things it con-
structs, such as bridges, ships and
towers. More useful is it in the Sc
cret character that 1t constructs, en-
abling the building Of greater things
as the years roll by.
The idler, the dawdler can not be
happy or a useful citizen. He who sits
by the fire and loafs will soon want a
fire and a loaf to satisfy his hunger
and warm his miserable body.

The effect on Mr.. Thayer was different He stands
there rollin' his eyes up to the ceilin and ookin

He has hard face that man Thayer though one
of the kind that reminds you of panics in Wall

Dayton was havn a talk, the old gent as calm and
satisfied though he was at home, Mr.. Ihayer

Say, he was a smooth boy, all

Upon the Andean slopes, in the virgin

along the ottawa branch for the Santa

Yesterday Mrs. Layzee called him to
get a bucket of water. He didn't come
promptly enough to suit her and she
took a broom stick and ran him out
into the yard. He tried to argue with
her that that was no way to treat a
minister of the gospel, but she said
that minister or no minister, he was
married to her and he had got to walt
on her or leave the place. Jack blus-

dollars and turned it over to her to
help support the family, after which
