Georges Looks, From the Introduction
to Adored One to the End Of
the Honeymoon.

He is a remarkably plain young
man. she wrote in her diary the first
day she met him. He has rather an in
teresting face she said to her mamma
month later as she decked her apri.
cot-colored tea gown with the William
Administrations that he had just
sent her.
when she wrote to her best friend
to give the news of her engagement
she expressed herself thus: He has
not the regular featured dollish good
looks have always hated in men. He
has strong, characterize face and
magnificent eyes,
"sYou loveliest one!' she sighed, as
she poured out his tea at the third
breakfast of the honeymoon. I could
sit and look at you forever
"Six months later, she observed to
her husband: I don't know whether
you're aware of it, George, but your
hairs getting most frightfully thin on
the top, and you're just about the last
man in the universe that can afford to
go bald

Eaole Taken by Fishermen.

While herring fishing about fifteen
miles from Filey, Yorkshire, England,
few days ago, the crew of one of the
boats observed large bird approach
ing, which, after lowering short
time, alighted upon the masthead. One
of the lads on board. Immediately COM
menced climbing the mast, thinking to
secure prize, but on the lad approach
ing it took wing. He had not descend
ed far, however, before the bird re-
turned to les previous position, appar-
emily much exhausted. The lad again
sprang up the mast, and on reaching
the top attempted to grasp the bird,
but his majesty was not to be taken
without struggle, for he stuck his
talons deep into the boys hand, MAX
ing the blood flow most freely. The
boy, clinging tightly to the mast with
his legs, threw out the other hand,
seized the bird by the throat, and sue
ceeded, after little tapping of the
wing and attempting to bite, in strang-
ling him. He then tied him round his
neck, and came down, a bloody vic
tor, to the deck. The bird was an
eagle Of a darkish brown color,
speckled with white, of beautiful
plumage, but excessively lean, about
two feet long, measuring from tip to
tip of wing little more than five
feet.

PoIiteness In Athens.

A long time ago. in Athens, the Spar
tan boys were guests OF Athenian boys
at the theater. They were sitting In
the front row because they were the
guests of honor.
Just before the play began an old
man came into the crowded theater,
and made his way down to the front.
He stopped by the seats of the Ath-
enian boys. and they commenced to
make fun Of him. He turned sadly
away.
AS he was about to go away the
Spartan boys all rose and motioned
for the old man to come and sit with
them. At first the Athenian boys were
ashamed; then they began to cheer.
All the people were attracted by this
and looked to see the cause OF 1t.
When the cheering was over, the old
man stood up and said:
"Athenian boys know what is right,
but the Spartan boys do what IS
right"

stamp; large com binations are look
ing for them as leaders Merchants
need them. insurance companies are
looking for them; they are wanted
everywhere in the business world. 10
all walks of life.
The world wants leaders, men with
great executive ability, men with
stamina, men who have an abundance
OF iron in their blood and lime in
their backbone. 1t needs aggressive
men, men whose blood is full of posi-
tive force, men of grit and stamina
these are the men who make things
move.
The man who is wanted everywhere
today Is born winner, the man who
is victory organized, the man who has
the habit of victory. These natural
winners have great self-confidence as
we'll as determination. They have CO.
lossal self-faith in their ability to over
come obstacles.
These great positive, forceful char
acters are optimistic. Their ability is
not weakened by doubts and fears
and hesitatiOns; they do not worry;
they are not able to do the things
they unc ertake. These are the sort of
men the accomplish the great things
of the world, the giants that turn
neither to the right nor to the left,
who do not go over, around or under
obstacles, but through them, and are
always equal to the occasion.
If you are ambitious to be some
thing more than an average individ-
ual, if you expect to step out of the
crowd and stand for something in
particular, you must not do things as
everybody else does them; you must
inject superiority into everything you
do; you must be original, inventive,
resourceful.
If you expect to become an import
ant figure in the world of commerce,
captain of industry, instead of COM
mon soldier in the field of labor, you
must put your shoulder to the wheel.
Some of the best people ever known
good companions, splendid friends
and extremely agreeable-have never
accomplished anything worthy Of their
ability, simply because they had no
stamina, or grit. They were tame,
commonplace; they lacked the fire,
force, the originality and the push
that accomplish things.
People whose blood is full of posi-
tive force are the leaders, the agrees
sive men who get to the front. They
do not lag and loiter behind, waiting
to be attacked. They take the initi-
alive and push ahead, regardless of
obstacles. They go through life TAX
ing it for granted that they shall con-
troll their surroundings; they are
convinced that there is but one pow
er in the universe, and that they are
part of that power. They act as if
they had their trolley pole, upon the
great trolley wire of infinite power,
and that they are equal to any task.
no matter how great.
