The personal, mental and tempera-
mental difficulties must be taken into
account. To a large extent it is a
matter of right character building,
and this, of course, means the cult
walton of a normal personal attitude
and the establishment of healthy
mental habits.
Self-confidence is really based pri-
marily upon ones consciousness OF
his own powers or of his DEFICIENCIES.
A clear understanding of this fact
will help to simplify the problem.
1t is perfectly clear, for instance, that
the man who is poorly educated, who
has neglected his opportunities, who
is undisciplined, who lacks self-res-
traint, who is truly incompetent in
practically all directions. and who is
at the same time conscious of his de.
ficiencies, cannot expect to enjoy any
degree of self-confidence.

After supper, however, Aunt Jose
Prime said, Nov we will go up
stairs for the story and Mary and
Harold went up two steps at time.
Not word did Aunt Josephine say
about the lost mitten-much to
Mary's great relief; and they sat on
the floor at her feet before the warm
fire as she began with the magic
words, "Once upon a time
"Once upon time," she said,
there were two little lambs named
Pet and Babe They lived in the
meadow of Farmer Jones with many
other little lambs and their mothers.
But Farmer Jones had taken those
two for his very own. He said that
when they grew into big sheep he
should keep their wool for himself.
All summer Babe and Pet scampered
and chased each other in the meadow
until winter came and they had to be
taken into the barn for the cold
weather
"As the days grew colder and
colder, Farmer Jones watched over
his sheep; he filled their racks, with
hay and watched the trOughs to see
that each one had enough fresh water,
for in the spring they were all to be
sheared, so that their wool might
make warm clothes for some boy or
girl
"One lovely spring morning the
sheep were all taken to the river to
have a good bath before they were
sheared, so that their wool might be
white as snow before it was cut.
Babe and Pet followed the other sheep
to the water and there waited to be
sheared, for they, too, wanted to give
their wool to some girl or boy.
Farmer Jones had visitor He took
her out to see his sheep. She said
she was soon to make a visit to the
city to see a girl and boy who never
had chance to see lambs and sheep.
How they would love to see Babe and
Pet!a she said.
"I think | should like to send
them a little present, said Farmer
Jones, and 1 will send the wool of
Babe and Pet off to the factory to
have it made into yarn. Then | will
send it to you, and you can knit
something for them
BY the time Aunt Josephine had
got thus far in her story Harold and
Mary began to guess who that visitor
was, and to realize that their nit
tens and reins came from the wool
of Babe and Pet.
$50 we must all learn to be more
careful of our gifts" Aunt Josephine
said, for Babe and Pet would be so
sorry to know that their kindness
had been wasted, and Farmer Jones
would be so grieved to learn that all
his thoughtfulness-
just then the doorbell gave very
loud ring-then another loud ring.
Some one was at the door with a
small brown thing in his hand A
schoolmate of Mary's had found the
love mitten!
A little later bedtime came, and
soon the children were sound asleep,
dreaming of Farmer Jones and his pet
lambs.
