No one can say: This is my goal.

For the moment he says that he be-
gins to slide back. Decay has set in.
AS the ambitious one goes forward
the horizon recedes. He never comes
to it.
No man can get to the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow.
Before the live and the strong flies
an angel crying, ''On. On
We are pilgrims and strangers, and

And the more intelligent. vigorous

Success is not achievement IL Is de-
velopment
Humanity's reward and joy is not in
arriving 1t is in travelling.
We rest by the way. We take our
ease at inns. We have no ultimate
home.
Each high soul is a Wandering Jew.
1t is as hard to quit business as 1t is
to get started.
Retirement is often tragedy.
The student cannot stop. In the pur-
suit of knowledge the paths lead out
into the infinite. The astronomer is
lost in the star maze. The biologist
finds no end of final fact among the
crowded atoms.
History is infinite. Botany. literature,
languages mathematics, sociology. all

is on. on into the boundless wilderness
of knowledge.
Art has no goal. Michael Angelo at
the close of his career sighed for that
he had but begun.
There is no boundary to love. To the
true heart-whose love means loyalty
and grows with years. gaining in
spiritual power for every freshly
charm outgrown-love becomes vaster.

Here we but pitch our tents, rest and

The road ever beckons. Our home is
somewhere the other side of those dim
mountains we call Death.
So the poet soul fancies God and rests
in Him. AS one says:

THE EVENING STORY.

Miss Tenny gazed long and steadily
at the three relentless faces before
her and then walked slowly to the
door of the little schoolhouse and closed
it behind her. Not until then did she
betray the depth of her emotion. ln-
voluntarily her hands sought her face
and the tears trickled through her
fingers. After sixteen years of faith
full service as district school teacher
she had been dismissed by the county
trustees for inefficiency and out of
date methods.
The blow could not have fallen at a
worse time. Immediately after the
close, of the summer session she had

innovation. but the letter had not

With one last look at the plain
little structure. Miss Tenny walked up
the road. bitterly comparing the fate
of school teachers with the worn old
horses of the neiShborhood. At least
the farmers turned the animals into
luscious pastures to spend their remain

without notification to face life alone.

not remain long depressed in this .on-

AS she was passing the great Red
mond farm man in shirt sleeves came
running toward her from the house. He
beckoned frantically. and she paused
to learn the reason of his obvious aSi-
tation. He was tall. heavy man. who
plainly showed the effort of the short
run to the gate. His face expressed
great disappointment as he recognized
the school teacher.
"Oh, it's YOU" he exclaimed IL

Cocoa as Currency.
From the London Chronicle.

From TIE I.uIl!On INrOnlce.
Cocoa passed as currency among the
natives of Central and South America
at the time of the European conquest
and that despite a plentiful supply of
gold. Joseph Acosta, in 1910. tells US
the Indians used none of their e,Id
or silver for traffic in or buy witha H.
and unto this day the custom continues
among them that instead of money
they use cocoa. The Aztecs of ancient
change. as many as 5000 beans being
counted legal tender. The value of the
beans may be judged from the fact
that "a tolerably good slave" could be
purchased for 100 of them.
