SO much to be done. so much to help,

So the great estate was turned over
to the villagers for a park, the marsh
was drained. the huts were replaced
with comfortable cottages. the aged
were given a home, the sick were sent
to hospital and schools were started.
And the princess was the happiest
of all. No longer sad, she went about,
busy from morn till night, smile on
her face, helping all who needed aid
and seeing that every one in her land
got Justice, care and kindness.
The old king was surprised. His
sad daughter was now a model of
happiness and health and her domain
a scene of busy comfort.
One evening the same wise old man
who had been at the christening of
the princess came upon the king as
he sat alone.
Il see your young daughter, the
princess, has found the right way in
spite Of your mistaken efforts" smiled
the old man. You ought to be glad
you have not ruined her life. She was
a wise girl to take things in her own
hands and find happiness as she did.

begets discomfort. And only in doing

FAILURE.

Success is mighty poor, teacher.
All some people get out of success
is a swelled head and a shriveled
heart.
The best teacher in life is failure
sometimes spelled with big F.
\ The only men who have really sue
ceeded have been those who have
failed-and made their failure step
ping stones.
And the man who has failed often
est-and finally won frequently has
the biggest brain and the warmest
heart.
Failure teaches men to have sympa-
thy for others. It makes men for
give. It enlarges ones outlook upon
life, It keeps men humble. It
makes the man appreciate real val
ues.
Best Of all, failure teaches men to
know themselves their real selves
that others see and know.
