to us instead of going after it and
thus fail to make the best of our oppor-
tunities 1t is the bit of knowledge that
costs us the most effort that remains
with us longest and is often most val
liable.
We should put every hour of our
time to good use and be always on the
lookout for the truths that lie hidden.
By making each day stand for some
thing we will not only be putting our
time to a good use, but the end of each
day will find us richer in knowledge
and experience than when the day
began.

IMPROVING OUR OPPORTUNITY.

Lincoln once said: Il do not think
much of a man who is not wiser today
than he was yesterday"
In this simple statement can be
found the difference between the men
who succeed and those who fail.
knowledge is a necessary factor to
success in any line of work. 1t comes
to no one by chance, but like all good
things is buried deep down and must
be dug out by each individual for him
self.
Some knowledge comes to us, it is
true. In reading a book or mingling
with people in everyday life we learn
something, unconsciously perhaps and
without effort on our part, but that is
not enough. We should be constantly
on the lookout for bits of information.
The most trivial thing has its grain of
truth and its lesson for us if we can
only find it.
A few years spent at college is time
we'll spent, but even this is not always
essential to a well balanced mind.
Not all knowledge is to be found in
books. Many young man who went
no farther than the common school
has a clearer mind, wider general
knowledge and a keener conception of
life than some men who have gone
through college. 1t all depends upon
the man and the use he makes of his
opportunity.
If Lincoln, without even the advan-
tages of a common school education,
could raise himself to the head of the
Nation and make a lasting impression
upon the world by his power as
statesman, what should the modern
young man not accomplish with the
same expenditure of energy and with
all the advantages of modern educa-
tienal system at his disposal.
Most of US make the mistake of
doing our work in a half-hearted
way, We wait for knowledge to come

FINDING YOUR PLACE.

When you leave this place, what
then?
If any number OF University stu
dents be asked what business or occu.
patton they intend TO follow after
leaving school, nearly half will answer
that they do not know. This is true
even with those taking professional
courses.
The law student has no definite idea
as to whether he will begin work in a
law office already established, practice
law for himself, or form a partner
ship; and in many cases he does not
even know what branch of the law lie
prefers.
The student of journalism does not
know whether he will enter city or
country Journalism, the news or the
advertising field, or whether he will
himself become the proprietor of a
newspaper.
The student of agriculture is not
certain whether he will at first begin
work as a farm hand for the practi-
cal experience, try to get the foreman
ship of large farm, enter the Gov
ernment service or try to begin farm
ing for himself on large or small
scale.
Students generally seem to leave the
important subject of their future
largely to chance. Since they will
be university graduates, they feel that
a place must be waiting for them.
But when the time comes, the grad
uate who has given little thought to
the future finds no place waiting.
Almost any kind of a job is accepted.
Then the force of habit causes the
student to let the years go by, at
some poorly paid clerical position
perhaps, before he finds his right
place.
The student should decide now what
he prefers to do after leaving school,
prepare himself as best he can for
that thing and try to see in advance
that place will be waiting for him.
1t may save wasted years.

The Patrician Pig
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Coed Old SIWash.7

THE Patrieian pig is an illustration
of the fact that man, when he
arises early IN the morning and
moveth himself Alright, can make Ma
ture look like a rank amateur.
Nature has been producing pigs Tor
thousands of years with about the same
degree of success. Ten thousand years
of practice has enabled Nature to turn
out a PIC which was worth $3.50 after
it had died in a high falsettO voice. On
the other hand. man with a few decades
of effort. has now invented and perfected
a hog which weighs as much as a small
automobile and is worth twice as much
money.
The patrieian pig is a pig with fam
ily tree. He can trace his ancestry back
twenty generations and said ancestry IS
on file in the state archives He is the
great-great-great-gT grandson of an
eminent hog, and in a few years he viii

Pleasant, who lived a short distance
away, went into his house and got an
automatic pistol and drew it on the
woman, threatening to shoot her if
she hit his dog. The woman caused
his arrest and when the case came up
before the justice the man got off with
