If your chief ambition is to have
an easy life, it is probable, though
not certain, that you will realize it..
But if you desire more than any
thing else to be useful, and do not
care how big a price you pay, there
is not chance in a million that
you will be disappointed. Many
people would be glad to help if
they could do it without sacrifice,
but the most precious privilege
offered human beings is not on the
bargain counter. Whatever your
ambition, do not associate with it
the idea Of ease.

By what seemed miracle to those who wit messed the crash not one of the occn- panSS of either nachine received a scratch as souvenir of their expeH- ence.
 The ambulance was going at a good rate of speed on Barnum avenue when the runabout owned by the Woodruff Company, turned out of Pembroke street Driver Kost swung his. machine to the left to avoid the collision but failed in the attempt, the front of the ambulance striking the Ford amidshipS- The slippery condition Of the pavement was proba- bIy the cause of the marvellous escape of the cars occupants as both ma chimes stidded over the pavement without overturning.
