that Mrs. Conway runs a grocery store

it may have been a combination of all

Good morning!
This is March 18!
The weather today will
probably be fair.
The inward look of
a man

into himself is what counts the
most in living his life.
There are many thousands of
young fellows in our universities
and colleges today, we'll born,
bearing noted names, some of
them rich, handsome, popular,
but neither books, graduation,
diplomas, nor high sounding
names alone will give them the
high places they are destined to
attain unless they do enough in
dividual thinking to find out what
is in themselves.
Passing almost every day, and
giving look to valuable paint
ing by Sir Joshua Reynolds,
brings to remembrance story
told Of the renowned painter
how friend of his took him to
see a picture by a fellow-a artist,
then much talked about, to pass
an opinion on it.
Sir Joshua said:
well, it is a capital compost
ton; correctly drawn, the color
and tone excellent, but-but-it
wants, hang it! it wants hnf,'"
swapping his fingers. Lacking
"th0f,' though it had much else,
it was worth but little.
What was Sir Joshua's "thnt"?
What sense does it include that
you and l leave out of our daily
work?
Think it over, and keep on think
ing and be the best possible sort of
a, man that you can.
