OUNCES" WHO MADE GOOD

Robert Give started life with the
sobriquet of "born Ounce. His teach
ers pronounced him impossible" and
requested his parents to remove him
from school. At 81 he could scarcely
read or write. Yet Give boosted that
some day he would "show everybody"
He left home in rags and joined the
army. During a critical engagement,
and while severely wounded, he was
called upon to command 5000 men.
Unframed and ridiculed by them, he
forced those men forward by sheer
grit, and Succeeded in defeating 5000
men at Plassey, thereby laying the
foundation of the British Empire in
India. England erected statue to
his memory in Trafalgar Square.
Another "born Ounce" was Carolus
Linnaeus, the Swedish naturalist.
Born in Rashult, Sweden, what little
chance he had in life as boy he
threw away. "Unhandy at everything;
even unfit for the pulpit" later wrote
his critics. Yet in the fields alone
where he was commanded to work, he
studied botany in crude way, and
seven years later was joyfully hailed
as the greatest botalist of his Age
