II would take the United States at

For many years the boys of Trinity

ways sat in the highest gallery. and

He had but tne gesture, which con.
sisted in bringing first one, then the
other hand to his heart and letting IL
fly back straight before him. II was
very much like the sort OF motion a

sang an Italif love song. working his
arms as described. When he finished

THE BEST PLACE.


The mountain top is small. There
is hardly room enough there for the
few who reach its height: and, unless
those who do keep a firm foothold.
they may be pushed off and dashed
to pieces.
The way to the mountain top is
steep and rugged. the rocks are slip
perry. and the path is full of landslides.
The valley is broad and fertile. and
there is room enough there for plant
ing and for harvesting
The ordinary man can earn his liv-
ing in the valley; the extraordinary
man may be able to attach himself
to the mountain top.
l am not asking you, young man,
not to trave, upward, nor am l sug-
gesting that yon forever remain on the
plains but | am attempting to pic
ture the dangers of steep climbing.
and the liability of not being able to
find a foothold at the top.
Better, far better. be a good tiller
of the soil down in the green valley
than starve among the mountains
rocks.
In these days of strenuous busi-
ness. of liberal education, and OF op-
portunity. the old adage that there
is always room at the top" is not as
true as 1t used to be. for. even though
there may be room at the very top,
one must take fearful chances in
climbing. and he will meet strenuous
men en- route, ready and anxious to
win, not only by advancing them
selves, but by pushing others down.
The tendency to go beyond ones
ability, to occupy positions unnatural
and difficult to hold. is responsible for
many failure, and has ruined many
men who would have been successful
had they been contented and indus.
trious. with good prospect of prosper
ity.
Ambition should be made of sterner
stun than that which drives a man out
of himself into unknown regions. or
into places too high for him to gain a
foothold, footing which, even If he
does gain it. he may be unable to
keep.
1t is your duty to do your best. to
make the most of yourself. to encour-
age rather than to cramp ambition.
to use common sense in the making
of yourself, that brand of good sense
which does not allow you to stay be-
low your level and which will prevent
you from striving to go beyond It.
Thousands of men move from where
they are. dissatisfied and disgruntled
and enter new and unknown fields,
when. If they had remained at home,
making the best of their opportuni.
ties. they would have been worth
more to themselves and to the world.
Where you are. unless It is below
the surface. may be the best place in
which for you to work and to stay.
Certainly, you should not allow your
self to leave your base of operations
until you are sure that where you are
is not the place for you to be in. and
until you know of a location within
the probable scope of your capacity.
Beware OF the top, unless there is
safe road leading to it.

SOCIETY,".

Il am not In society this winter"
says a young society woman. Il am
too busy to go into society" remarks
a young man.
What is society" anyway. the so
ciety about which the foregoing was
spoken? Really. don't know. and
the three big dictionaries refuse to
enlighten me. At guess. l should
say that probably the young people
quoted refer to the collection of per
sons they meet when they go out.
when they are away from home. at
balls. parties. and other invitation
functions, and not necessarily to the
individuals whom they visit. Perhaps
they are unfortunate enough to be-
.long to some alleged exclusive form
or society, or to some clique or col
lection of conceited people. who. be-
cause they don't know where they
stand. assume to stand for something
about which they know nothing.
Thousands, yes. hundreds of thou
sands, of young people have injured
their presents and discounted their
futures by going into what they call
society" Yes, many men and wom-
en- have sacrificed their souls upon
the altar OF society"
Young people should have friends.
they should not be bookworms or
room hermits. They should intermin-
gle, they should exchange expert
ences. play games of conversation.
and other games: but all this does not
mean going into society" for "soci-
ETY." is commonly understood as sim
ply another word for excess. with or
without the winecup.
1t is a significant fact that our great
merchant princes, our men of prodi-
gious intellect, our famous discover
ers and scientists, our men OF mark
in every walk of life, care more for
sociability than for society. and not
one in a hundred of them is in so
ciety." They live natural lives. mako
friends among their kind. and enjoy
social intercourse. They don't care
fig whether Mrs Tone invites them
TO her most exclusive ball, or whether
Mr. Highbrow includes them in his
list of dinner guests.
many men OF wealth, ana more ultn
who haven't any. sacrifice the vitality
of life to get into society" and when
they get in they spend half of their
time keeping in. When they become
old enough to know better. they go
out into Natures out-of-doors. breathe
the fresh air. and mentally. and some
times physically, kick themselves for
the folly of their silly ambition.
Don't worry about finding your 80
ciety" level. Your level will come to
you. and any level you try to reach.
which is either above or below your
proper sphere. is disastrous.
Bear In mind, young man and young
woman, that mere money, the ability
to dance the tango, and the capacity
for small talk, are not keys which
will unlock the door of good society.
If your ancestors came here in the
overcrowded Mayfower. or your sew
eral times removed grandfather
chased Indians. remember that you
may not be any better than other peor
pie with a hazy past. for the whole
world feeds on the same kind of meat,
sleeps in similar beds and wears
much-alike clothes. IL 1t can get them.
