What musician does not love the
name Of Felix Mendelssohn? Those
fortunate enough to hear symphonies
and oratorios have revelled in the
beauties OF his greater works such as
The Scotch Symphony, "A Calm Sea
and Prosperous Voyage" the Fingafs
Cave, and other overtures. St Paul and
the Elijah, which is so dramatic, II
has lately been given with stage set
tings. The music TO Midsummer

the lightsome grace Of tiny elves, the
merry tests OF Puck, and above all,
the happy union Of 0beron and Titan
ia. Their Wedding March voices the
note OF Joy at how many nuptial
gathering, from those held In stately
cathedrals with crowned heads attend

remote village chapel where simpla
villagers form the bridal procession.
Many woman's ehafed spirit finds

vice to the young men of the coun-
try who hope to succeed in the bust
ness world:
The man who keeps his eye on the gun
barrel hits the mark.
Pull for the front and if you do you'll
get there.
Opportunity and luck have something
10 do with success but they won't count
unless You rise to the occasion.
No success can be gained without hon
est application.

could take the place OF the truth, and
you never will.

ing done his best even though he may
regret that his best didn't turn out bet

No one can long deceive the public
you deceive only yourselves when you
think SO.
II success didn't require effort it
wouldn't be worth having.
No organization can exist that ism
based on fair play.
The successful man is the one who best
selects his help.
