What a Melon Did.

The notoriously corrupt Russian min
lister Of justice, Tscheglovidoff, had
great and well known passion for mel
ons. A story was told in the duma
how he was once travelling through
Russia on tour Of inspection and on
reaching a remote outpost was met
at the station by the usual high court
officials.
His visit to the place had been long
advertised, so that one little man, a
very obscure person even in the off,
cial world Of the district, had had time
to grow an immense melon. When the
minister Of justice had concluded his
reception at the railway station the
small man came forward and dutifully
presented Tscheglovidoff with the mel
on, upon which he had for months Law
ished the utmost care.
The minister was so delighted that
he thereupon made the man Judge!

THINK BIG THINGS.
Give Your Imagination Play and Try to
Live Up to Your Dreams.


Live Up to Your Dreams.
Isn't it true that the only thing which
makes it possible for us to perform the
daily drudgeries of life is the hope
for better things which blooms in our
hearts?
Hope is romance. Ambition is ro-
nance. All the fine, true inspirations
of life are romantic. Romance leads
to achievement, unless it blossoms in
the mind Of lazy. shiftless creature
who is incapable of action.
The man who leads forlorn hope is
romantic. The hero who gives his life
fighting a dread disease TO which he
succumbs, but against which he has
insured humanity. is romantic. Ro-
nance is the thing which makes 1t
worth while for men to sacrifice ma
terial comforts and die on strange
fields Of honor.
In a materialistic world. where We
have to deal with the facts Of earning
our living and fighting for place and
position, the thing which lifts Us above
blind instinct is romance. Cherish
your dreams. for they give you
glimpse Of beauty and make you will
ing TO struggle over cruel mountains
and harsh plains TO the pot Of gold at
the rainbow's end. Dreams give res
pite from dreary reality and urge on
