the heavier mans right boot toe came
in contact with an object lying in the
gutter. He swore softly. as he noted
that he had scuffed a bit OF patented

His companion stopped and picked
UP the offending object. 1t was about
the size and shape of a fire brick. and
quite heavy.

object to the other man. Its gold

The man whose shoe had been
scufed miscalculated the weight of
the brick. and it slipped from his hold
and fell on his left foot. He did not
swear softly this time. for the brick
weighed about so pounds.

The waste of human power and
talent the world. over is appalling.
Men who might easily have acquired
ability that would have D laced them
IN the highest rank, often find it a
hard struggle even to make a bare
living. With their advantages-in
herited or otherwise-they might
have developed extraordinary eff
cheney, but largely through misun-
derstanding of life and its possibilities
they have dropped to the rear and
have joined the vast army of slaves
which consti tutes the bulk of hu-
manity. Almost every human soul
holds undeveloped power and talent.
In the untrodden fields of the brain
there are often mines of marvellous
wealth. They simply need to be
opened, to be worked.
Golden opportunities await those who
are DESTROYS of advancing beyond
mere mediocricy. =Bernarr Macfad-
cen in Physical Culture.

Have You Enemies?

Go straight on and don't mind
them. If they get it your way, walk
around them regardless of spite. A
man who has no enemies is seldom
good for anything he is made up of
that kind of material which is so
easily worked that everyone has a
hand in it. A sterling character is
one who thinks for himself. and
speaks what he thinks; he is always
sure to have enemies. -
They are as necessary to him as
fresh air; they keep him alive and
active A celebrated character who
was surrounded by enemies used to re-
mark: "They are sparks which ii
you do not blow. will go out of them
selves. Live down prejudice" was
the Iron Dukes motto. Let this be
your feeling while endeavoring to live
down the scandal of those who are
bitter against you. If you stop to
dispute, you do but as they desire,
and open the way for more abuse.
Let the poor fellows there will
be reaction if you perform your
duty, and hundreds who were once
alienated from you will flock to you
and acknowledge their error. Elk.
