Pratt Of the Palm is all swelled
up today over a compliment
paid his pictures last night.
During the first run of the film
"The Little Fortune Hunters"
showing that portion where the
two children are leaving home,
a little child in the audience
called out "Bye Bye" several
times. Pratt says he knew
that the pictures at the Palm
were clear and life like, but he
never before knew they were
so plain that a child, especially,
would think them real. The
"Bye Byes" of the little baby
kept the house in an uproar for
some time after the incident.

FIGHTING LIES BATTLE.
OF Things That Must Be Done Tackle
the Hardest First.

l know a very successful man who
early in life resolved that no matter
how hard anything might be or how
seemingly impossible for him to do he
would do it If the doing would prove
Of value to him. says 0rison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine. He
made this the test and would never
allow his moods or feelings to stand
in the way of his judgment He
forced himself in the habit Of prompt
" doing everything. no matter how
disagreeable. Il Il would further his
advancement.
People who consult their moods.
their preferences or their ease never
make great success in life. 1t is the
man who gets Il firm grip on himself
and forces himself to do the thing that
viii ultimately be best for him who
succeeds. The man who goes through
life picking out the flowers and avoid
ing the thorns in his occupation, al
ways doing the easy thing first and
delaying or putting of altogether If
possible the hard thing. does not de
yeEop the strength that would enable
him to do hard things when necessity
forces them upon HIM
1t is pitiable to see young men and
women remaining far below the place
where their ability ought to have car
ried them Just because they dislike to
do disagreeable things until compelled
to. The best way always is to tackle

while the other school. reposing on
the great principle of the invariability
