One of the many peculiarities of hu-
man nature is to place little value on
what We do easily. A man will have
unlimited ability, for instance, as
trader. He considers money making
something that any fool should be able
to accomplish He is ambitious to play
the piano, and 1t worries him that no
can't tell one note from another.
There is n worse phase of such freak
ishness than this. A man with single
gift, not recognizing its value, will
imagine he has another gift that he
doesn't possess at all. II fell into a
business life by mistake" says Jones,
who easily captured half million dol

nothing left Of them. Yet no one can
convince Jones that he is not a natural
farmer, He explains his failure on
the ground that there were happenings
In his case which would not occur once
In hundred years.

Of equal height, without n single little
fellow In the lot. All no had to do
was to read his lessons over once, and
then he could go out and play. 1t
pleased him that he could do this, for
reason. He was ambitious to be n
fine tennis player, a twirler, an oars
man-indeed, anything and everything
that was athletic. But while he was
revered by his schoolmates no was
looked down upon by them on the
fields of sport. Tommy Green, who
stood at the other end Of the class
from Norman, would mako a ball do
the stunts Of boomerang, Norman
would stand looking ut Tom wrapt in
admiration and wish he could exchange
some of the AS ON his report cards for
Toms curves.
When Norman was ut college It was
the same. He took all the prizes away
from the other students and was grad
uated at the head of his class, dis
appointed man. Why? Because he
