r forty you are beginning to have beaatsd ana-
~ billions. You realize that you have not
complished all you could, and dreams OF real
achievement stirring In your mind
But regretfully you feel that they must remain
dreams You remember what Dr.. Osler once said
about the man past forty. You tell yourself that
you are too old to achieve anything new and big.
You mistaken The doors OF opportunity
still are wide open for you Many men past forty
have proved the truth of this. You prove tts
truth yourself.
Consider the case Of Hubert Howe Bancroft.
who died recently at the age of eighty-sx- His
career alone should satisfy you that achievement
after forty is indeed possibility.
Mr. Bancroft died known OF the most
prolific writer's of history America has ever pro-
duced- He was the author of thirty-four enormous
volumes, covering the history Of the Pacific coast
region of both North and South America.
Not one of these written before he was
forty years old. Until forty, in fact, he had writ
ten nothing except letters and business statements
He had college training to help him realize
his ambition of becoming famous historian He
had only public school education, and of limited
kind.
In his native place of Grandvi1le, Ohio. NE.
Bancroft began life humby. He worked first
tannery boy, then farm hand
Afterward he removed to Buffalo, where he
found employment a clerk in a book store From
Buffalo he went to San Francisco, opening book
store of his own
In San Francisco he prospered exceedingly. He
grew to love the city and the whole Pacific coast
country. Gradually he formed the project of writ
ing the history of the Pacific states on monu-
mental scale.
For years he collected books and manuscripts
bearing on this He employed innumerable assist
ants for the work of research. And ne persstently
patiently taught himself to write history.
In 1874, being then forty-two, he brought out
his first historical volumes. Thereafter he con-
tinued to write until he than eighty years
old.
His last work a delightful book of reminis-
cences, telling the story of his life and times in
forceful, Virile way 1t the book of IAN old
who had .contriyed to stay young.
Which is another important point emphasized
by the career of Hubert Howe Bancroft.
Not only is accomplishment possible after forty.
The effort to accomplish tends to prolong rather
than shorten life, provided the task is of truly
pleasurable nature
Mr.. Bancroft loved his work as historian. 1t
kept dizziness and boredom out of his life 1t
never-failing tonic to his mind.
Being tonic TO his mind, it acted favOrably
his whole organism. That is why he could work
hard and long, with physical benefit, not
physical harm.
Cherish your ambitions, then Strive he did
to realize your dreams The result can only be to
your great good.

IN THE TRENCHES.

There's many man, and woman too, in the
trenches besides the soldiers on the battle front
In the trenches means that you are deadlocked
with some enemy that threatens you with ruin that
you in desperate trial Of strength with some
power that, unchecked, will rob Of all that life
holds dear, If not life itself.
Here's a man in the trenches of business. Luck
has gone against him Fate has crossed him. CIR
cumstances, INSCRIPTIONS men, fraud or betrayal
leagued to crush him. His wife and daughter know
nothing of the terrific strain he is under All day.
all night he feels the grip of disaster at his throat
Be good soldier man! Fight on! Hope on! The
stout heart conquers. t
Here's another man. His soul is weary 1t Is
covered with mud and slime He bleeds from more
than wound. He is locked in the horrorstruggle
with habit 1t may be drugs, or sex pervers1on, or
that king of helPs generals that Hindenburg OF the
DEVILS Iegions, alcohol His nerves are on fire. His
body is invaded with hundred spies OF weakness.
His will is crippled Behind him stand mother,
father wife, wringing their hands in dumb helpless
Fight on! Hope on! While there's leg
left to stand bullet left to fire, all Is not
lost Try again! Over the top! And may help
you.
And here's woman, fighting, fighting. She is
fighting for her happiness, her home her husband, her
children. Who knows her nights of torture her days
of dumb misery, her hope deferred that maketh the
heart sick? She's in the trenches. Any hour she
expects the drive from the enemy that may bring the
disaster and disgrace she fears Fight on, 0 woman!
Lose not courage! Out of the jaws of danger comes
strength. After darkest midnight the dawn at last
breaks "Only be thou strong and of a good cour-,
age!' Your cohorts or rescue are within you
To all in the trenches. this word THERE IS
NO TRAGEDY TO THE HERO. The human soul is
unbreakable if It will not lend hand to break it
self None conquer me but myself
To those who, having done all, stand; to those
who say to the enemy Thou shalt not pass!; to the
harassed and tried who will not bulge, but hold on

of victory, and His words:

lightweight champion from Joe Cans,
was the main attraction.
Now, BAIT" was the friend of the
private and the commanding officer. 1t
so happened that Callahan was a spar
ring partner of the fighter while the
colonel met the ltater many years ago,
when the officer was merely lieuten-
ant. But BAIT" did not play favorites.
1t was one of those field nights of the
310th's and BAIT" took charge of the
show. Chaplain Munster just let him
have the center of the stage BAIT"
told jokes on himself; sat between Gen.
Hero and the colonel; twitted Callahan
about the "old days" and knocked the
spots" off the painted dummy of the
kaiser.
Every time lull came BAIT" told
another one.
BAIT" was especially pleased with
the battle royal of the "colored broth
ers" from the 351st Field Artillery, in
which Private Saunders got a bloody
nose but won prize Of 81, Capt. Nor
gan being the referee. BAIT" said this

Opinions differ, but most of the boys

ner had just been through a match of

STORY OF THE OLD GRAY MARE
Sequel to Which Is a Small Mule
Colt, Black as Sealskin.
photo by Abe weintraub.)

Battery f, 310th Field Artillery, gen.
orally puts forth the punch in important
events. This is the story of the old gray
mare. until lately the private mount of
Corp. Miller.
For weeks the mare has been marked
quarters" and had not been taken out
of the stable except for watering.
Monday morning (soon after mid
night) all the stable guards were alert
and about am. Private Martin. was
on post. He heard an awful racket. In
his excitement rushing toward the
stable he called out the corporal of the
guard. All on duty responded prompt
ly and inquired what the trouble was.
Martin could not speak, but pointed.
Forth went the guard like good soldiers,
but they uttered a cry Of alarm-not of
fright, but alarm. Staring at them was
a mare mule colt, black as sealskin
coat.
Private Charles Fries, formerly of the
Navy, is going to take the new arrival
out walking some Sunday. The colt will
become the regimental mascot and per-
haps kick the kaiser.

The Camp Dix and Camp Meade box
ing bouts staged in the Y. M. c. A. au.
ditorium Saturday afternoon proved
very successful in every respect. 1t
would hardly be fair to give decision
to either camp. taking into considera-
tion the long distance the Dix men
travelled, the warm weather and the
fact that one man was unable to finish
his bout on account of being taken
with cramps in the second round, but
the audience was Interestingly enter
