Only a Beginner.

An old farmer was driving along
a lane along IA golf course and stopped
for moment to watch the game.
"Whats that?" he demanded curious
ly. Golf, was the reply. want to
try your hand uncleT' Don't mind if
do declared the farmer, wrapping
the lines around the dashboard and
climbing down. The players gave him
a few points about hazards and bog
les. and finally one pointed to a flag
on a hill $50 yards away. AT the
foot of that pole" he said, "is a little
hole. The object IS to put this ball
In the hole with the smallest number
of strokes" The farmer took the
club, sighted for some time, and then
let go a whale of a stroke. The ball
scared with a mighty swish into the
air, and fled unerringly toward the
flag. 1t fell short, bounced, rolled and
wound up a hands breadth from the
obiective-a phenomenal shot that
made the experienced players gasp.
"By golly, missed !" the farmer ex-
claimed Everybody Magazine.

Everybody lives by standard.
do not mean that anybody ever lives
up to his standard But everybody
has a standard, beyond which he does
not dream of passing ne most he
requires of himself, in b highest mo-
ments, is to get nearer 10 the level
he has fixed. And there are those
who would say that until man sue
ceeds in living up to his old ideal, he
does not need new one. Oh, yes,
he does. One must raise the require
ments, now and again, even before he
meets those previously fixed. He must
challenge his own goal in the interest
of a worthier To catch up to ones
dream for himself would be little
short of tragedy. aspire and break
bounds. I say" Raise the standard,
demand of yourself more open purse,
more prayer. more patience, more pur-
ity, more power. Was thu old stand
ard high? Even so, 1t Is not high
enough for today. We must change
