Thrill Of Doing Things.

Life is made up of trials and sat-
isfactions. The oneis to keep up your
muscle, and the other is to keep up
your morale. The one sets tasks that
try the fibers of your nature; the
other bestows the mental laurel that
marks consciously won victory. The
whole. process begets thrills that en-
lhances ideas of achievement. The
very idea of doing seems to carry with
it the sense of worth and fitness. In
stead Of feeling yourself driven by
the stress of compulsion you feel like
an explorer in new regions. Each
thing done adds to the joy of doing
as 1t brings facility and smoothness
of operation. The sum of things at
tempted and finished tells story OF
JOY known only to the fellow who has
felt the thrill of doing things.
The biggest challenge to the healthy
man is the chance to do.

EnoIand's Big Mistake.

On the 9Th of March in 1865 the
house Of lords in England passed the
stamp act. which led to the famous
Boston tea party, the first militant act
Of the Revolution. -
The English treasury had been
drained by the Seven Years war and
the country needed money. The people
of England were already taxed to the
limit and King George and the English
parliament decided that the most ex-
pedient way to raise money was to
tax the American colonists and to es-
tablish the principle that the colonists
must pay taxes TO the crown even
though they were not allowed repre-
sentation in the English parliament.
