Use Your Brains.

There IL not 30 much difference In
brains as In the way their owners use
them. Very often a boy or girl who
envies another's keenness and insight
is as well endowed as he. But while
one brain is trained to hard, concen.
trated thinking. the other is like an un.
broken colt, or like a steed which has
grown lazy from overlooking and lack
Of exercise. Set your powers to work
Guide them wisely. and you will NOT
need to complain that they are not
greater.-Exchange.
