At nine years of age, Robert Dollar, my ideal, worked as "cookee'' in a lum- Der camp. The lumbermen often leased him about his name, saying he would never be out of money because he would always have one dollar left. But he took it cheerfully and one day he said, s"These make one hundred and twelve Of us now, myself and one hundred and eleven other dollars I have saved"
 One day the boss surprised him fig uring on a piece of paper and found that he had been working a problem in board feet which the men had been trying in vain to solve, and he had got ten the right answer. After the boss found how quick he was in figures, Mir. Dollar had an easier time at the lumber camp.
 In time MT. Dollar had saved enough money to buy an old boat. He made much money with it, and he bought new ships as fast as he could afford them. In time he became the owner of the Robert Dollar Steamship line.
 Robert Dollar is a man who succeed . ed by using his brains and persevering. would rather succeed for these req .sons than for any others.

HOW A PERSON MAY FINISH HIS
 EDUCATION

A great many people realize that they would be more useful to society if they. had better education. Therefore they begin to look around for some ways of getting an education and yet not leave home. Often there is large family dependent on them, so leaving home would be out of the question.
 There are three very simple ways of obtaining an education at home for lit tie expense. A person who wishes to make something of himself cah certain ly do so if he only tries.
 One of the three ways is through vocational journals. These magazines are a great help to those who have partly completed their education Yet to a person who is just starting, for instance, foreigner who has just come over to this country. this would hardly be suitable. His special work perhaps would not be found in these magazines. Even if they were he might not be able to understand them. for these journals are often not printed in the simplest of English. So without an instructor these would be hard for beginner to study and understand.
 Tn great many cities there are night schools. These schools are doing a good work for our country. Yet many a foreigner who comes to this country and attends these has no real chance of learning of our government or becom- ing real American. I think that along with the other work these schools offer there should be an Americaniza- tion class or class similar to that. Still people who live in the country can not attend these night schools, so they must hunt another way of obtaining their education.
 Here is where the correspondence schools come in. In my opinion, these schools are by far the most beneficial of all. In a great many places, espe- cially in the country, there are the long dull evenings which could be shortened by something to keep the people busy.

THE PRAIRIE AT TWILIGHT

The prairie appeared very bare and brown in the indistinct light of the evening. Aat first glance there was nothing but the flat level ground to see but at a closer view one saw more. Prairie dogs are scampering back and fcrth sometimes barking ferociously at one another. Now and then rabbit founded by on it's homewaFd way. As the evening grew later the hoot of ground owls became more and more frequent, they called back and forth to one another.
 Far away in the distance could be seen the light of a city. But nothing seemed to disturb the prairie as it lay sleeping in the twilight.

 Well. what are we coming to now ?'' asked Harris Colby of his horse as he drew rein on little hill and looked down on a small village nestled in the valley The horse made no reply so Harris said, Suppose we go see?'
 The horse whinnied his approval and the man rode down toward the village.
 Strangers at Shodden were few and far between, and Uncle Mike, the post master, dropped his pipe in his excite ment when he saw a young man on a Lay horse, leading a packmule. stop at his gate, or rather the place where the gate should have been.
 Hello there young feller." exclaimed the old man hobbling out to meet him. Jest throw yer pack and saddle down anywhere and come right in.''
 Thank you, sir" said Harris, as he did, as he was directed.
 As Uncle Mike and Harris sat on the porch that night after supper the latter observed that the old postmaster was very popular. for everyone in the vil- lage managed either to drop in or to pass by the house. Grandma Smith came over to bring some eggs, and sev- eral of the women came with her, Just for company.
 Be ye going hunting?" asked Grand ma Smith of the young man.
 Why, I hadn't thought of it." re- piled Harris. 'Is there any game around here?'
 Well, I should smile. returned the old woman. Kin ye shoot?"
 Pretty well''.

Young Writers:-Not throgh genius put through long and painstaking ef Iort Lincoln acquired a diction beau ttui and almost faultfess. His early attempts were not unlike other boys. They were crude but showed evidence or real thinking. He began to write as soon as he could read, for his great ambition was ito explain clearly" He said of himself:
 'l coald not sleep when I got on such a hunt for an idea until had caught it; and when I thought I had got it, 1 was not satisfied until I had put it in lan- guase plain enough, as l thought, for any man to comprehend. This was kind of passion with me, for am never easy now, when I am handling q thought. till I have bounded it north. and bounded it south. and bounded it east, and bounded it west.
 This clarity of expression was of high service to our country. for through it Lincoln formulated the great issues of the day and thus prepared the minds of the people for their solution.

MY FIRST RIDE IN AN AIRPLANE

During the fair last fall I happened to be one of the ones that had a ride in the air. Saturday afternoon I bought my. ticket and then went over for my ride. When I arrived a man took my rass and put me into dark blue ma chine. The next thing he gave me head gear to put on, and then buckled straps across and around so I could not get out if I had tried. The driver jumped in, started the engine, and away we went.
 I was not scared until I began leav ing the ground. After I got up in the air there was so much racket from the engine and propeller that l could not hear anything, so I calmed down. We circled over the city of Phoenix and back to the fair grounds, then around over the grandstand several times. By this time my ten minutes had expired so we began coming nearer the ground. thought I was scared when I left the ground, but when I got within about two hundred fee of 1t again, I had to shut my eyes. This is one of the great est experiences of my life.

Any spare minutes he can pick up his studies and get a. lesson or two. Often on some rainy day when nothing can be done he can spend his time study ing. A person will very soon learn to improve his spare time and learn not to waste it.
 With so many advantages around us we should grasp every opportunity. We owe it as our duty to our country to be well educated and not a drawback to society.

THE OCEAN

The ocean interests me more than anything I see on my vacation at the coast. All day long. there are bathers swimming and splashing, and riding the big waves that swell and break.
 At sunset it is beautiful. The bathers are gone, and ships are coming in, frightening the sea-gulls that roost on the pier. The great irregular waves splash against the sea wall, and as the sun sinks in the west it leaves a beautiful reflection on the water, and ev erything is quiet and peaceful.
 The ocean at night is more beautiful than at any other time. After the busy day and the gorgeous sunset, it is dark and wonderful. The moon rises, mak- ing a brilliant silver pathway. The spray of the waves is rainbow colored. There are no people. ships, or sea -gulis. Everything is a rest except the cease less pounding of the waves against the well.

A STORMY EVENING

We sat on the porch after stormy day. The night was closing in wind and rain. The clouds thickly covered the sky, and not a star was to be seen. Over in the west, along the edge of the sky and clouds a strip of gold, which shone dimly through the rain, made a trimming for the clouds.
