and is sometimes as much as IS inches
long. For the most part these Kaffirs
live on the great open flats to be found
on both sides of the Kafue river. They
build their huts on the great ant heaps
which appear like hills scattered over
the flats. When the Kafue is in flood
and the flats are changed into great
lakes these people are safe in their
huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle
also take refuge on the ant heaps on
which corn and mealies are likewise
grown.

TO HESITATE LONG IS TO FAIL.
Successful Business Man Must Have
Attribute Of Courage

Many a man fails because he does
not dare TO take risks. TO take the
initiative.
When do you expect 10 DO anything
distinctive IN life? When do you ex-
pect to get ont of the ranks OF
mediocrity? The men who do original
things are fearlese. There Is a lot Of
dare in their makeup, a great deal Of
boldness. They are not afraid TO take
ehances. 10 shoulder responsibility. to
endure inconvenience and priyation
There never was a time when the
quality of courage was so absolutely
indispensable in the business world
as II is today 1t does not matter
how many success qualities you pos
sess, young man, If you lack courage
you will never get anywhere Not
even honesty or perseverance will
take its place, There Is no substi-
tute for courage.
II does not matter how well edu-
Gated you may be, or how good a train
Ing you may have had for your voca-
tion, II you are a hestator II you
lack that courage which dares to risk
all on your judgment, you will never
get above mediocrity
The men who stand at the top Of
their line Of endeavor stand there be-
cause they have the courage of their
convictions. They had the courage
10 climb had the nerve TO undertake
even against the advice of others

The Power Of Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is one magnet of power.
You must fire every event with it.,
touch thoughts and acts with it; it will
transmute dross into gold, drudgery
into delight What matters If the soul
which lives beside you is cold and
selfish Set him a good examplel JOY
is sunshine and he will feel 1t. Every
irksome task is chance for power
For the qualities which they bring out
are Gods gifts which fit Us to enjoy
better things. Easy things will come,
IL you have spent your hearts blood
on gaining strength, for the very goal
of power is the ease which comes from
strength. We laugh at things and peo-
pie who used to COW or annoy us, we
do gracefully and swiftly the tasks,
once so hard One by one, we have
unriveted our chains, we are free.-
