RIFLE

reasonably happy, and the real estate
men are just gushing over with thank
fulness. Those who have "staid with
it are seeing a silver lining. This last
expression calls to our mind the follow
ing lines-they were written by poet
laureate of England and are good:
'Genius, that power which dazzles
mortal eyes,
So oft but perseverance in disguise.
Continuous effort, in itself, implies,
In spite of countless falls, the power
TO rise
'Twixt failure and success, the points
so fine,
Men sometimes know not when they
touch the line.
Just as the pearl was waiting one more
plunge,
How many a struggler has thrown up
the sponge!
As the tide goes clear out, it comes
clear in;
Tn business tits at turns the wisest win
And oh! how true, when the shades of
doubt iismay,
'Tis often darkest just before the day.
A little more persistence courage, vim!
Success will dawn o'er fortunes golden
rim.
Then take the honey for the bitterest
cup;
There is no failure save il giving up -
No real fall as lShg as one still tries
For seeming setbacks make the strong
man wise.
There's no defeat in truth save from
within;
Unless you re beaten then, you re bound
to win.''
Then there were Others who were
thankful, those who had made the final
proof on their homesteads, for instance.
The months and years of toll and hard
ship and anxiety were passed. For
when they handed over their final pay
ment the the representatives of Uncle
Sam at the land office, they knew that

could call home. What a glorious word
that word ''home'' is. It's the sheet
anchor that keeps families together
and helps them to weather many gale
of hard times and distress. It's tn f,
one place above all others to be tender
ly watched and nurtured and improved
as one would child.
