CHANGED HIS LIFEs WORK
Aversion Of Companion to Travel BY
Sea Led Sir Henry Layard
Into Bible Lands.

The first man to undertake extern
sive and important explorations
among the ruins of Babylon and
Nineveh, says the Milwaukee Senti-
mel, was Sir Henry Layard, who was
born in Paris ninety-seven years ago.
1t was due to his friendship for a
young man who had a great fear of
seasickness that he was led to begin
what was to be his life work. Layard
was educated and started for CeyloD
to practice his profession.
He was accompanied by another
lad who had a horror of the ocean,
and Layard readily agreed when his
companion suggested that they make
the trip by land across Europe, Asia
Minor, Persia and India. 1t was
while on this journey that Layard
was inspired with the ambition to
delve among the ruins Of the an
cient cities of Asia. ''When first
beheld the mounds of Nineveh," he
wrote, "a great longing came over
me to learn what was hidden within
Them" He yielded to the desire,
and largely at his own expense, car
ried on those excavations at Baby
lon and Nineveh which were chiefly
responsible for the discovery of the
lost records and relics of a people
who lived 5000 years ago. Many
cities and palaces, including the pal
ace of King Nebuchadnezzar, were
unearthed by Layard and the most
valuable treasures in the British mu-
scum serve to commemorate his
name and fame.

The argument that convinces one,
is lost TO another.
Salesmanship is the art of probing
for the point Of least resistance.
In some men. price is the big thing.
In others. fairness is the predomi-
nant factor. In still others, fear that
some one else will get ahead Of them,
is the ruling passion.
Reading human nature" is really
being able TO ferret out the points OF
least resistance common to all men,

SHINE WHERE YOU ARE

Don't waste your time in longing
For bright impossible things,
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of angel wings;
Don't spurn to be a rush light,
Because you are not a star;
But brighten some bit of darkness
BY shining just where you are.
There is need Of the tiniest candle,
As well as the garnish sun;
The humblest deed is ennobled
When II is worthily done;
You may never be called to brighter
The darkened regions afar,
So fill, for the day, your mission
BY shining just where you are
