CRATE FIRE TEACHES LESSON
Pictures in the Flames Bound to Inn
press Observer of Any Keen
ness of Mind.

The wood fire in the open CRATE. The
quiet hour of a wintry evening. Who
does not revei In the combipation2 The
pictures In the flames The musings
as the fire crackles, the only sound In
the stiffness.
Ancfents In Persia, In other lands
and times, worshiped fire. It was the
symbol of purity, publication. Poets
have found the fire on the hearth an
inspiration. Painters have seen pic
lures in the glowing Goals. We see
them, too. In the silence Of the evening
time.
But the wood fire In the open CRATE
Is more than a symbol of purity, more
than a creature comfort, more than Il
sign Of personal prosperity, more than
a setting for dream pictures. It's n
symbol Of action. It's a picture of
ambition. It's an Indictment to en-
deavor
The flames are never still while
there's material to reach. Reaching,
reaching, grasping, keeping, never con-
tent, never idle. Action That's what
the wood fire in the open CRATE Is say
ing.
The flames leap higher and higher
so long as there Is fuel to feed them.
When the fuel is consumed the flames
wither and die.
Ambition must be fed. That's the
lesson of the fire. You can't get the
fire Of ambition to burn In the work
er's brain to energIze his hand unless
II Is fed, and fed again. Take away
incentive, make labor ineffective, and
the laborer's ambition dies. And what
is a man without ambition? An ak
without an edge.-MIlwaukee Journal.

CHARGE THAT WON FL0TILLA
Remarkable Exploit of South American
Llaneros When Operating With
General Simon Bolivar.

The Llanero of South America lives
on horseback. He trades, buys and
sells on horseback, and during the war
with Spain the Llaneros contributed
much toward achieving the independ-
ence of Venezuela and New Granada.
There is related a story Of an &C.
casion when 1t was necessary for
Boliyar's army to cross the Apure to
engage Morillo. But Bolivar had no
boats and the Apure at this point was
wide and deep.
The Spanish fiotlla was guarding
the river opposite to the patriot forces.
Bolivar was in despair. Turning to
Paez he said, 81 would give the world
10 have the Spanish fiotilla; without 1t
can never cross the river"
ut shall be yours In an hour" re-
piled Paez.
Selecting 300 of his Llanero Ian
GERS, all distinguished for strength
and bravery, he said. pointing to the
gunboats. 1--WE must have these
hecheras or die. Let those follow who
please"
Squirting his horse he dashed into
the river and swan toward the no
tllla. The Llaneros followed with their
lances In their hands, now encouraging
their horses by swimming beside them
and patting their necks. now shouting
to scare away the crocodlles, of which
there were hundreds. At last they
reached the other side and sprang from
their horses backs on board the boats,
headed by their leader. To the aston
ishment of every one they actually
captured the entire fiotiIla.
