The Little Things.

Many think that opportunity must
be something great and unusual and
it never comes near them; but the
fact is that the stepping stone for
anyone to a higher place lies in do
ing better the very thing he is do
ing. The obstacles to our success
usually are not big things but little
things so little that we do not no
tice them or, noting despise them.
The world contains so much failure
and pessimism largely because so
many of US dream all our days of
doing far-off great things. but neglect
to do the little things that lie right
close at hand.
Some day we are going to achieve
some great success and become very
rich we think. But we neglect to
cultivate the little habits of careful
study. industry and frugality and so
remain inefficient and unsuccessful.
The richest men and the richest cor
porations are not above taking care
of the pennies The greatest scien-
fists are not above the study of the
smallest insects and seemingly in
significant things. The Panama Ca
nal was dug shovel full at time
Finished. it is the greatest work of
civil engineering in the world. but
it has been accomplished only by a
series of little things. The greatest
buildings are laid up stone at a
time. 1t is of no avail to us that
we dream of mighty structures. if
we have not the patience and hu-
mility to do so little a thing as the
laying up of a single stone. 1t is
the little things that make up our
live;.-St. Joseph News Press.

According to reports from the

Here's to the Other Fellow.

Here's toast that wish to drink
to a fellow that I'll never know
To the fellow who's going to take my
place when its time for me to 60
I've wondered what kind Of chap
he'll be. and I've wished | could
take his hand,
Just to wbisper::"I wish you well, old
man." 10 a way he'd understand
I'd like to give him the cheering word
that I'd loDged at times to hear;
I'd like to give him the warm band
clasp when never a friend seems
near.
I've learned my knowledge by sheer
hard work. and wish could
pass it on
To the fellow who'll take my place
some day when l am gone.
Will he see all the sad mistakes I've
made, and noteaH the battles lost?
Will he ever guess of the the tears
they caused or the heartaches
which they cost?
Will he gaze through failure and
fruitless toll to the underlying plan
And catch a glimpse of the real in
tent and the heart of the van
pushed man?
dare to hope he may paused some
day. as he tolls as l have wrought
And gain some strength for his
weary task from the battles which
/ have fought.
But I've only the task to leave with
the care for him to face,
And never cheering word to speak
to the fellow who'll take my place.
Then here's to your health old chap
/ drink as a bridegroom to his
bride: . .-s
] leave an unfinished task for you,
but God knows how tried.
I've dreamed my dreams as all men
do, but never a one came true,
And my prayer today is that all
my dreams may be realized by you
And we'll meet some day in the
great unknown-outo of the realm
~ of space.
You'll know my clasp as / take your
hand and gaze into your tired face
Then all our failures will be sue
cesses in the light of the new
found dawn,
So I'm drinking your health, old
chap. who'll take my place when

Returns from yesterdays state election

defeated by majority of about 2o.ooo.
Nine constitutional amendments met
similar fate the vote having been re-
markably light.
