Horse versus Automobile.

One OF the most amusing sights
seen on our streets occurred Monday
afternoon. when an automobile con-
tanning two gentlemen, rolled into
town drawn by two horses. The auto
was minus a wheel and It's place was
supplied by a small tree shorn OF
IFS branches. run down through the
machine so that one end took the
place of the missing wheel while the
other end scared majestically inside
the carriage. One gentleman was
driving the horses and the other was
driving the machine, and the smiles

into grins as they met the. amused
looks on the faces of citizens who
were watching the strange vehicle"
pass through the streets. The auto
looked sadly disgraced and the
horses looked thoroughly disgusted
when another team SHE'D" at them

right, of course-couldn't get along

well to have good, old reliable team

son SWEET Marden in Success Magazine
There is a law Of perpetual renewal
Ia recreation constantly going on in us,
which is only interfered with by our
adverse thought and discordant mental
attitude.
The majority OF us have had startling
experiences OF sudden mind renewal
which have driven away the clouds from
our minds, let in the sunshine OF Joy
and happiness, and changed, at least for
the time, our whole outlook upon life.
When we have been discouraged and
everything looked dark, some good for
tune has perhaps come to us suddenly, or
some joyial, congenial friend whom we
have not seen for a long time has called
upon us, or we have taken a trip into
the country and our mental hurts have
been healed by the new balm of sugges-
ton, Sometimes perhaps, when travel
ing we have come across a bit of en-
trancing scenery or some beautiful work
Of art about which We have heard and
have long wanted to see, and this strong.
er affection and interest-the marvellous
suggestion of beauty grandeur and sub
limity-has temporarily completely anti
dotted the worry thoughts or fear
thoughts which little while before were
destroying our happiness.
Many people have the idea that the
brain is not susceptible OF any very
great change; that its limits are fixed
by the destiny of heredity, and that
about all we can do is to give it a
little polish and culture.
There are plenty of examples, however,
of individuals who have completely rev.
olutionized portions Of their brains, and
have made strong faculties of those
which were weak at birth or deficient
from lack of exercise. There are many
instances where certain mental faculties
were almost entirely lacking, and yet
have been built up so that they have
powerfully buttressed the whole char
acter
Take courage, for instance. Many
good and very successful people were
once 50 completely devoid of this quality
that the lack threatened to wreck Their
whole future. But by the help OF intel
ligent training by parents and teachers
they have developed it until it became
strong.
This has been done by the cultivation
Of self-coufdenee, by holding the constant
suggestion of courage In the young mind,
by the contemplation Of brave and he
roic deeds, the reading Of the life stories
and works of great heroes by the sug
gestion that fear is negative quality

Of courage, which is every mans birth
