HARDSHIP A FACTOR.

The theory that hardship is one of
the factors in the price of success APP
plies not only to the general trend of
great mans life, but frequently, If
not usually, to each one of it's signi-
ficant details.
DR.. Samuel Johnson labored over
his English dictionary during seven
years of bitter hardship, and wrote
"Rasselas," his greatest book, to
raise money to bury his mother.
Carlyle went 20 times over the
confused records of the battle OF
Naseby to inform himself thoroughly

the Republic" nine times before he

Edison has been known to work
nearly a week without sleep, in the
completion of an invention.
Newton, the greatest mind of all
ages" wrote parts of his Principal
81 times.
And Robert Bruce saw in the
nineteenth trial of the spider, the di-
vine rule for accomplishment that
inspired him to make the grandest
struggle in the history of Scotland.
The entire theory of the necessity
of hardship is splendidly epitomized
in a saying of President Theirs OF
France in response to friends
criticism upon the first draft Of one
of his speeches that 1t lacked the
usual ease and fiuency of his style
It'll bring those In later" he said
The ease will cause me much labor
and the fiueney / shall have to dras

captured a frontier of Islamism.
Italians. after a lapse of centuries,
have once more possession of the Is

in following out the Italian program
of securing possession of the Turkish
possessions in the Aegean sea.
This little island attracts an in
terest that is wholly disportionate to
its size. When the curtain of history
was rung up it was already civillz-
ed state. In the classic era it was
the scene of bitter warfare and dur
ing medieval times the terrific
struggle between. Christendom and
Mohammedssm found foothold
along its shores.
The island was successfully dom
mated by Athens, then by Sparta and
then by the forces of Alexander this
Great. AS the centuries passed il
was controlled successfully by the
Romans the Byzantine government,
and adventures from the Italian
states. Then came the rule of tbs

IN LILAC TIME.

Through orchards of old apple trees
Tint spring makes musical with bees,
By garden ways OF vines and flowers.
where twfttering sweet. the bird box
towers
And swallows sun their plumes-
The path leads winding to the gate,
Hung with its rusty chain and weight.
That opens ON n lilac walk
where dreams of love and memories
talk,
Born of the dim perfumes.
The old house stands with porches
wide
And locust trees either side,
It's windows, kindly the eyes
OF friendship, smiling Mt the skies,
Again he meets her, brown of hair,
Beside it's steps May lilies lift
BeIrd sprays of snow in drift ON drift.
And I'm tho door, lily. toe.
Again she stands, the one he knew
In days that are NO more.
Again he meets her. brown of hxir,
Among the clustered Hlacs there,
The sun IL set; the blue dusk fa1lsy
A Nesting bird another calls,
star leaps In the sky.
-
And rose, again her head IL bent;
And oh: again, beside the gate,
To see the round moon rise they wait
Before they Kiss good-by.
Long years have passed, the times
since then,
Have changed--and customs, too, and
meny
But she has never changed to him.
Nor has that house, so old and dim,
| where once they said goOd-by.
That place, which spring keeps ever
fair
Through memories of her face and
hair
Unchanged, like some Immortal rime
| Where evermore tits lilac time.
| And love can never die.
