HARD WORK BRINGS SUCCESS

Anything you may get without
struggle is worth while. Keep this
in mind when you are engaged in
some difficult task and see if it
doesn't help you to stand hardships
better.
Things easy to do are the things
sought by the easy going kind of a
man who never climbs to any height,
and is the principal reason why so
many men are looking for work. Per-
haps he puts up a good bluff of do
ing hard work, but the deception
hurts himself@ the most and sooner
or later he has to look for another
position
Natural ability assists some folks
to gain prominence but without hard
work it will not go far. 1t is not
the pupil who learns his lesson the
easiest or in the shortest time who
amounts the most in after life. The
quick to learn often have to work
hardest to retain it. When you
think of the different boys who were
in your class at school you know now
that it is mostly the "grind" who
has made the real and lasting sue
cess, not the fellow who could re-
cite on moments notice and spent
the rest of his time playing. It is
| the ability to retain in your mind
what you study that carries you for
ward to success The fellow who
spent his boyhood hours in studying
useful subjects becomes man of
note in his manhood. And the boys
who were out playing every moment
possible are to be found on the pay
roll of the boy who was considered
a "sissy' and "grind" during his
boyhood.
Remember that few achieve any,
thing really worth while without a
struggle for it's possession. When
you have found something to do stay
with it. Do not lose heart if you do
not advance very rapidly. Too many
people give up at the wrong moment.
If you had only hung on little
while they would have succeeded,
but they were impatient. If you
give your work your earnest atten-
tion and show that you are capable,
you are bound to rise and win. Be
determined and stick with your
,'fwork: It IS the only way to achieve
real, lasting success.-Ex. -

WORK.

There is no better character build
er in the world than hard, honest,
productive work.
Your mind was made to think,
Your body was made for use. You
have mission in the Universe and
you ought to grow and develop. II
you are idle you wither and decay
If you try to live by getting some
thing for nothing, you throw your
life away. Be honest, be industri
Gus, be frugal. Be fair with your
self, be fair with society, be fail
with your Maker.
Work is not only the primary re
quisite of your success in this world
it is also an indispensable condition
for your happiness.-Ex.

WILDERNESS OF GOLD

The New York assay office is now
the most important institution of
the kind in the world. There is more
gold stacked up in boxes and kegs,
in bricks and bars, in bins and bags,
than ever before in the history of
the country. The assay office, says
the New York World, is the purchas.
ing agent for the government. Fore.
ign gold, consigned to banks and
trust companies, is "cashed in
through the assay office.
British sovereigns, packed in boxes
are piled as high as the ceiling.
Dodging that golden bulwark, the
visitor is likely to bump into the
cases full of French twenty francs
that are piled on either side. Turn
ing to reach the elevator, he skirts
row of gold bars, packed five ten
thousanddollar bars to the keg, ir
sawdust, and stretching along the
wall twice the heighth of a man.
All gold of whatever nature, i:
melted and refined to a fness OF
$685., or finer, and into bars of stand
ard sizes. The value of each bar i
expressed in United States dollar
and cents. Every bar and coin ha

There are fifteen big melting pot
at work on gold exclusively. 1
seems almost brutal to see workme1
scoop shovelfuls of gold pieces from
metal boxes and dump them, on
after another, into pot until it i
full, and then clamp on the lid an
wait for them to stew.

marine off Kinsale. Cork, Ireland
She had on board 1900 souls. of whom
l4I6 were passengers. Among the
latter were nearly 200 Americ ms.
First reports were that the pasSen-
gers and crew had been saved, bat
this news was soon sadly disDelled.
On the day after the disaster, the Gu
nard office in New York gave an es-
innate that the number lost was 1915.
The Lusitania sank in 20 minutes
after being struck. Most OF tAe pas
sengers were at the moment n tie
main saloon eating luncheon. With
in a minute from the blow the steam
ship took a list so far to one side tt.at
the lifeboats en- the other side could
not be launched.
Many bodies were recovered an l
taken to Cork, where a coroner's jury
returned a verdict of "wilful and
wholesale murder" against Germany.
Among the AL orleans drowned were
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Charles
Frohman, A. l.. hopkins president OF
Newport News SlLpbuddins Co, and
Ebert Hubbard and vic. Miss NJ. B.
