Two Sets of Muscles.

You have two .seets of muscles, the
outer ones, which you can feel and the
inner ones, which are your lungs
heart, stomach and other internal or.
gans. The outer ones are conven.
fences for performing actions The
inner ones are your life-the fate
which makes you happy or depressed
powerful or weak, useful or the con.
trary. These inner muscles require
training, just like any other muscles,

Fighting Man.

1t is hans nature to fight. 1t is his
merit to fight for what he believes to
be right. Courage and bravery are not
achieved by hiring a lawyer. A man
who is not willing to fight to the death
for the right or fir his own is not as
good or complete man as one who is
willing. But opinions about this are
not so important as the fact that it is
mans nature to fight, and that neither
resolutions nor legislation nor provi.
sion to get over all kinds of trouble
any any other way than by fighting
will avail.-Eldwood Hendrick in the
