THE HOME CIRCLE
AND IT'S INTERESTS.
Column Dedicated to Tired
Mothers as They Join
The Home Circle at
Evening Tide.
IL. with An Inspiration.

Stick TO your dream. boy. Lot moth
ing swerve you from tho path that
leads upward toward the fulfillment of
your life's ambition.
You will meet with difficulties and
announcements. but when you do,
Just think Of the man, Herreshoff, the
boat builder. who died the other day
In Rhode Island. In his life you ought
10 find inspiration enough to lift you
over any obstacle.
A writer in one of our exchanges
says that when John b. Herreshoff
was a boy his ambition was to design
and build the fastest boats in the world.
He became blind while yet a boy. That
would have discouraged any ordinary
boy, for how could blind man de-
aign a model that he could not see?
He stuck to his dream. The heavy
handicap of blindness only made him
press on all the harder.
The blind boy sat fn eternal dark
ness and Whitfield out his boat models.
Gradually there developed in his fing-
ors a muscle sense that was worth
more to him thar eyesight would have
been. Slipping the model Of boat
through his hands he could tell how it
mould be shaped to slip through the
water with the least resistance. 9th
er designers figured out their models
by complex mathematical calculations.
But the blind boy felt with his sensi-
tive fingers. and his models were the
best. for when he was twenty four
years old he built the fastest yacht
the world has ever known and, while
he could not see the boat go, he felt
the dash and plunge and swiftness of
1t, and he wept when they told him his
boat had won the race.
He built the yachts vigilant, Defend
err, Columbia, Reliance. that conquer
cd the series Of Shamrocks in the
races for the American cup. Ho built
up a great CONSTITUTIONAL industry.
The government Of his own country
