Value of ObstaHe les

We were talking with gentleman
the other day about the rise OF
boys and young men. and he had
many observations to relate. all OF
which taught the lessen that success
starts with obstacles. A young man
who has had no obstacles to sur
mount will seldom be successful in
any department of life he may enter.
1t is quite impossible to expect any
thing great of boy who Is fed
with a silver spoons and grows up
amid a life Of ease 1t is the re-
sistance that a boy encounters that
develops his powers. He must carry
rocks. and not feathers. If he expects
to gain strength. SO a boy should
not wish for an easy. way through
which to reach success. If he is
to be a scholar, a great merchant,
a captain of industry or an eff.
Gent manager of anything good. no
must begin down low. where there Is
work to do. A boy cannot loaf ks
way into great achievement; he has
to struggle for it. The boy who knows
this and fears not will make man
of himself. None other need apply,

GL4DNESS IN TtEIR HEARTS
Physical Discon1fcTts Unable to Affect
Soldiers Who Had Good Reaoons
for Feeling Happy.

at was three O'rlnck in the morn
ing said the returned soldier as he
recalled his departure from training
camp. "A cold rain was pouring down
in torrents. The hundreds of soldiers
who came from the barracks of the
big army camp were in Il most cheerful
mood All carried heavy loads. They
seemed to pay little heed to the fact
the ground WAS soggy and their feet
went into the mud above their shoe
tens. At other times, when they had
been brought out into the cold rain,
they had spoken in bitter language,
but it was not SO upon this occasion.
Through the inky darkness the
men tramped with their heavy luggage,
the packs getting heavier as the Wa
ter soaked into them. They did not
seem to mind the long hike, and they
sang little and laughed little de
spite the fact their clothing did not
turn the streams OF water the skies
shove poured down upon them IN
mercifuliy.
"Finally the commands of officers
rang out in the darkness and the
men ware halted near railroad track,
They stood there for more than az
hour. The rain turned into snow
The cheerfulness among the mon was
not broken. Their laughter continued,
and occasionally they would sing some
familiar army song.
at last a long train of passenger
coaches was backed in on the track.
In that machine-like manner of troop
movements the men boarded the train.
The last man had no more than LEFT
the ground when the train began NOV
ing, and soon was rumbiing ana
screeching through the darkness.
"Within the coaches the soldiers
continued their singing and laughter,
although they were wet to the skin
They had a reason to he happy. That
grand and glorious feeling finally had
arrived.

amount of ashes formed ny months

Ashes should be kept level with the

blocks burn, an accumulation of glow
ing charcoal forms in he ashes. This
keeps on burning slowly and assists
IN ig1,iting the fresh blocks on the
andirons. A pocket may be formed
IN the ashes into which the hot char
coal may fall, forming heat storage.
Two or three blocks on the andirons

will form an excellent fire.
To check the fire, ashes are SHOW
eled over one or more of the blocks,
covering lightly all the burning wood.
This will not put out the fire; 1t will
only check the rate of burning, so
that red charcoal will be found when
the ashes are removed for addition
Of fresh fuel.
Fireplace wood is usually cut IN
longer lengths than stove wood, but
the ordinary 16-inch stove length is
