THE CHANCE.

"I've never had a chance said he.
His statement interested me.
/ traced his record back to find
Just what had kept that man behind
l found that one immensely rich
Had one time filled the station, which
This grumblng fellow occupied.
He hadn't felt his hands were tied
Another started where he stood
And he had certainly made good.
The task was very commonplace,
And irksome, too, and hard to face.
But several men their spurs had won
Because their best they'd always done,
And past this humble post could see
The better jobs that were TO be.
From humber stations, too, | learned
That others had promotion earned.
They'd hadn't felt they weren't com
PEELED
To failure by the jobs they held.
With vision they had clearly seen
That there's no duty quite so mean.
But, well performed, within it brings
The chance for bigger, better things.
If you've job then never wall
That you're a victim, doomed to fail.
No man can hide what you can do,
SO thoroughly from sight as you.
Your worth the meaneSt place will tell
If only you will do it well.
You've got q chance to rise or fall
If you possess job at all.

1t is Indifference that is filling the

Last Night Streams
What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM ABOUT GOATS,

EREUD states that modern dream
j. books are but plagiarisms of an
cient Eastern writings of the same
character and are necessarily bad ones
because In nearly all cases the East
ern interpretations of dreams hung
upon play upon words which is, OF
course, lost in turning them into anoth-
er language. This statement may be
open to doubt and it is rather probable
that the modern empiric Interpretation
of dreams has gradually grown up
through mingling of Teutonlc, Celtic,
Gallic and ancient Roman and Greek
superstitions, which would account for
the divergence of the interpretations
with regard to their symbolism.
The most famous dream prophecy
depending upon a play upon words is
that given by the sOOthsayer, Aris-
tandros, to Alexander when that mon
arch was besieging Tyre. Alexander
was much disturbed by the stubborn
resistance of the city and the conse-
quent delay in his plans of conquest.
One night he dreamed that he saw one
of those goatlike neurological crea-
lures, a satyr-Greek Satyros dane
ing on his shield. He demanded OF
Aristandros the meaning of the dream,
AT once-the soothsayer replied by di-
vidins the word into Sa Tyros (Tyre)
Thine is Tyre. Alexander took the
city.

ample of his statement it will be no.

The injustice of this arrangement has
rankled in many feminine breast and
has caused close neighbors to refuse
to speak to each other except at
prayer meeting. There Is also the
man who Is first to get to the table,

people is shown by the fact that these

Men are invited to picnics on ac-
count of their lovable attributes and
their ability to produce a fire out of
water-soaked brush. A picnic with
out a few men to build the fire and
eat all of the surplus potato salad

life is Il picnic party composed entire

Picnics would be more popular if
they were held on high, dry ground,
where the death chant of the coarse,
aggressive mosquito could not be

THE PICNIC

THE picnic is a place where people
l. go to relax from labor and study
the bug family. There Is no place on
earth where the habits and personal
eccentricities of the wandering and
dissatlsfled bug can be studied to
greater advantage than at a picnic,
when the tablecloth has been laid di-
rectly over a smoldering ant hill.
Picnics are held in the summer time

dizzy spells it was with difficulty
I could keep from falling, and on
three occasions did actually fall to

in the region Of my heart which
were so bad they would frighten
me. My appetite was so poor it
was nearly impossible for me to
eat anything at all and could not
digest even the little did eat,
and as a consequence lost weight
until I was scarcely more than a
frame and just became weaker and
weaker every day. My nerves were
in an awful condition and it was
almost impossible for me to get
any sleep as l was so restless at
night I would lie awake half the
night every night.

treatments and medicines for my

any good, and as I had read SO
