The girl raised herself among the
cushions to- extend a slim brown hand
in greeting, then curled up again like
q tired kitten, the bronze Of her hair
mingling distractingly with the colds

John Morton stood wondering at its
tumbled glory when he should have
been telling the girl how much he had
missed her and how pleased he was to
see her again, etc.

gray eyes dancing bewitchingly.

knee, much against its will, began to
stroke it reflectively.

Dull blues and green's harmonize

CHANCES THAT They SOME
TIMES OVERLOOK.
BRAINS 5 FOR THE III BIC CITIES ii /:
Opportunities for the Rural.6orn Youth
TO Gain Success BY Making -
His Start in His Home
>. Town,

There IL no use in complaining be-
cause you perhaps we're born on q
farm and fortune destined that you
must get your initial business expert,
ence in the four-corners' grocery
store, or some other business estab-
hshment in the home town. The aver
age country boy has q kind Of banker
ing for city life, and for a chance to
climb, to the front. Some, however,
never stop to think that If they are
built Of the proper material they will
drift there without realizing the
change. Yes. the country town is
the kindergarten of success, and if
you don't make a winning there, you
might as well make up your mind to
go back to the plow. .....
Business men, much like poets, are
born, not made, and If one has not
the talents requisite for success in
mercantile, life, he will have hard
road to success. Business principles
are the same the world over, and the
little country store affords the gaining
OF knowledge that is necessary to the
winner. The most successful mer-
chants in the world gained their start
in the country store. The greatest
statesmen found their ambitions while
following the plow. Then the country
boy should not be sorry that he is not
in the big city. The one with brains
and ability in these days will win
out. The country is the fertile field
for the growing of brains for city
use. Therein is held in reserve the
energy that goes to move the world of
business. Study into the lives of the
great men of to-day, and you will
find three-fourths of the most sue
cessful ones the product of the farm
and the country town. Then, If you
are country-store clerk, be thank
full, and If you use honest endeavor in
time you will find that instead of you
seeking the city. the city will be seek
ing you. Merit always finds its re-
ward.
What you learn, learn well. Be
thorough in everything, you do Better
be good grocery clerk than a poor
lawyer. Better be a good plow boy
than a poor clerk. Brains backed up
by industry and honesty, of purpose
are essential to success. Hours spent
in study Of whatever business you may
enter are hours well spent. You can
never learn too much, If you only
learn rightly. Ambition is one OF
the things that assists in working
wonders. Have an aim in life, and
let that aim be your loftiest ideal.
Once you decide upon a worthy accom-
plishment never rest until you sue
ceed. The small country ctore or bust
ness place gives splendid opportunity
to study. It has advantages that the
city store never affords. There are
spare moments that can be proftably
utilized. Make the best of them,
and remember that a well-stored mind
is great capital in business, and the
talent that enables you to make the
best of what you know is an important
factor. Study, improve every min
ute; don't grumble; keep at work,
and your chance will come.

Small white rings can be sewed on the
back and ribbon run through them and
tied, making neat finish, or. ribbons
can be sewed on the ends of the COL

the ends of the collar and threaded
with ribbon will make a neat finish.
