Caught On The Run

A man walked down the street yes
terday leading his 6-year-old son by
the hand. All was lovely until the
man stepped on an unsuspecting banana
peeling.
1t must be said for the man that
he showed surprising agility for mid
dle-aged business person and he made
a most sublime effort to catch his
equilibrium. AS his feet started to
slide out from under him both hands
and cane were raised on high in a
gesture of entreaty, one pedal extremi-
ty was elevated to the position usual
ly noted in the ballet dancer just be-
fore the end of the whirlwind finish.
Other contortions, picturesque and at
the same time difficult to describe
marked the action and his heel skidded
along the sidewalk at a great rate.
But he did not fall He was agile,
as has been said, and his efforts saved
him. With innocent wonder the child
gazed at his parent until the perform
anne was over. then he said:
Gould you do that again. papa?"

ergy he has put into his nfe's work
If the results of a life are to be es-
timated, compared with the results of
the average mans life Edison is 1000
or even 10000 years old. He has pro-
duced that much more than most men.
Energy is the dynamo that drives
men.
it is sort of self generating dyna-
mo. Energy is will power IN action.

man is coupled up with his win. and
the result is activity.

A mans generator and dynamo may
be all right, and the latter may re-

the machine may wear itself out do
ing nothing.
Many men spend enough energy do
ing nothing when they might do great
tasks If only they were properly cou

1t is the rare man like Edison who
knows how to so adjust the machinery

Perhaps you have put in enough
work, say, at fifty to be really a hun

Well, a man is measured no less by
what he has really tried to do than BY
what he has done.
Philip James Bailey has put the
whole matter so admirably it canno
be bettered:
We live in deeds. not years; In thoughts
not breaths;
In feelings, not figures on dial

Who thinks most, feels the noblest. act;
