Success.

"He has achieved success who has
lived long, laughed often, and loved
much; who has gained the trust OF
pure women, the respect of intelligent
men, and the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and accom-
plished his task; who has left she
world better than he found it. whether
by an improved poppy, perfect poem,
or a rescued soul who has never
lacked appreciation of earth's beauty
nor failed to express it; who has al
ways looked for the best in others
and given the best he had; whose life.
was an inspiration; whose memory
a benediction. ."--Bessie A. Stanley.

wealth are increased only by lavish

of mistrust engenders our CONNER

of revolutionary utterances is the
only way ct lesseniag their danger;s
our. charity has to say no to beggars
in order not to defeat its own de-
sires; the true epicurean has to OBJ
serve great sobriety; the way to GER

virtue signifies not innocence but the
knowledge of sin and its overcom-

forgive him, and thereby heap Goals

self, renounce yourself; to save your
soul, first lose it; In short, die to live.

Ancient Uses of 5loodhounds.

=
Although the use Of bloodhounds
for tracking criminals still survives.
another ancient use of these dogs
seems to have died out Boodhounds
were at one time often called upon
to assist an army in the field, the
forces with which the earl Of Essex
suppressed the Irish rebellion in the
time of Elizabeth, for instance, being
accompanied by 500 dogs. In the Scot
tish clan feuds and the wars between
England and Scotland bloodhounds
were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors, and both Wallace
and Bruce were hunted in this man
ner. Wallace Is said to have bafled
his pursuers by killing follower and
leaving the corpse for the hound to
find, while Bruce adopted the less
cruel plan of wading some distance
down a stream and ascending a tree
which overhung the water.
