What would we do without such

Many home throughout this land

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6 1911

This week the General Assembly
meets and our law makers, it is
hoped. will make no more new laws
than is positively necessary, but put
restrictions around those THAT have
already been enacted so that the en-
forcement of them can be carried
out more fully. The liquor ques-
ton is not likely to be an issue and
the forty days can be utilized to
greater advantage than heretofore.
Among the bills pending and in fact
one of the most important of them
all is the good roads bill, for it net
only benefits the better classes but
will give untold benefits to all those
who from necessity have consider

Therefore He Did His Best to Please

A certain playwright relates how a
manager was much annoyed by the
persistent applications for a "job"
made by peculiarly sccdy individual

There were, OF course. uumnor
ahead of him, but this fact did nut

ing the stage manager between songs
with requests for Il job.

length turned to the pianist and or

for the stranger. With considerable
hesitation the secdy person raised
what voice he had in song. The result
was bad as bad could be-

him to deSist

ing 70 and fro with never ending
regularity. Somebody had to do j.,
and because no one else did she
took the task upon herself. Perhaps
when she first began to work among
the odds and ends of existence it
did not occur to her that here her
lifework lay, and she kept on patch
ing way, waiting and hoping for
something else to come, and all the
while the years were piling up, and
after time the gray began to cloud
the brightness of her hair and old
time took his toll with steady hand.
And then she began to feel that all
she was good for was to fit in, p"
and never knew that the crown she
was earning so silently and so pa
tiently was studded with jewels
which far outshone the gems in
other crowns worn with so much
effort and display.
Sometimes man finds himself
tossed from pillar to post in his
search for something to do" 1t
may not have been practicable for
him to have properly prepared him

Of the breadwinners at an early age
and Saatched eagerly at those things
which promised the largest returns
in the least time. He, too, had his
ambitions, for while at least, and
hoped for their realization at some
distant period. Conscientiously he
worked and bravely he struggled,
only to understand at last that he
was used by a hard task-master
merely to do those things which
others passed by. Gradually the
heart within him died, and eventual
ly he accustomed himself to pick

them in i5r his own use as best he
could. Inc lesson is hard one to

Persons who achieve distinction in
any field of endeavor find them

to the majority of men adulation is

that men who at the start believe

that ambition that they want every
