And they began to Sit Up and Take Notice.
 And after a time. they looked. and Behold, they were going Seventh Miles an hour.
 And they became Greatly Inter ested.
 And the fireman was sprinkling in the coal, and keeping the steam pres sure just where it belonged, and. be- hold, the train climbed up to Eighty Four Miles an Hour.
 And when they pulled into Buffalo. the telegraph instruments along the way were hot with the reports of the flight of that train.
 And the Worlds Record for long distance run was broken.
 Now listen unto me, all We men who stand idly upon life's Side Track thinking that there is no great place in life for you. Hauling freight on a Branch Line is no disgrace, but high ly honorable Yet are there men who are foofng away life on Short Hauls of Less Than Carload Lots, who ought to get out onto Life's Main Track, and actually Get There.

ful years before the present lean ones, values became woefully mixed in our minds. We put that of ease before that of labor; that of enjoyment above striving toward ideals. We thought, did we stop to think at all, that our mixing thus would perma- nently settle such questions. Why should we feel ourselves infallible, our intelligences supervise? Had we not accomplished wonders through the last decades? Invention after in- vention, discovery after discovery, adaptation after adaptation-these had rapidly come. We grew cock sure of ourselves.
 But one thing we had forgotten. We had forgotten that humanity can not change the immutable laws of the universe. We may ignore them, we may declare they are not there. we may be innocently ignorant of them. But sooner or later they pep up. like 8 jack-in the-box, to confound us. and to prove our puny strength of body or of intellect. to say sternly, Thus far, and no farther!"
 Success has always meant hard work-the real variety. It always will. Success has always meant per severance and high ideals and single minded effort-it always will.
 We can hve tiff we pay it's price.

 There is so much starch in both chocolate and cocoa that they must be well cooked. I find that a flavor ing of cocoa in hot milk often makes it acceptable. especially for the chil- dren. who call 1t their Chocolate bean drink. And the food value ix amazing"

My children are always teasing me for cocoa and chocolate" said the woman who did not believe in fairies.
 And I think it is simply a depraved taste and not to be encouraged.
 But what do you give them in stead?" asked the woman who was helping to bake the potatoes at the church supper.
 "A drink of milk or a drink of wa ter. They are getting tired of milk for supper. so I just make them drink water or do without"
 The woman who never could quite understand the mother who speaks almost proudly. in public. of making her children do something against their will said. thinking of her own small sons who were probably al that moment drinking their mugs or CO., coa and munching their bread and butter in the nursery-for the clock pointed to six:

This will never do. The other new Locomotive must do better.
 And as they were starting to hook up the other new Locomotive, be- hold, they discovered a Broken Valve And they said, We cannot use that Locomotive.
 Then were their hearts heavy.
 But they said, Give us an Engine of some sort, for we must get to Buff falo.
 And the Yardmaster said, Behold, we have only one Locomotive in the Yards with steam up and this is Old Fifty Two-that years ago went off the main line and hath long been hauling Local Freight on a Branch Line.
 And the Officers said, Give us any thing that hath Wheels and a Boiler for we must get on to Buffalo.
 So they hooked up Old Fifty-Two.
 Now the Engineer of Old Fifty Two was no longer young, but in his day he had been a Great Engineer, and he knew his Engine. And he said:
 Old Girl, we will give them a Run for their Money.

Youth

Dr. Sadowein, Russian professor, finds a village with IS men over 100 years old, out of population of 120.
 Investigating their diet, Sadowein finds they live on soured cows milk, white bread. and cheese made from sheep's milk. Which, says Sadowein, must be the elixir of life, the re- storer of youth.
 He Is wrong. The chief thing that has prolonged these old Russian vil- lagers is that they do not have the economic problems and unhealthy life of cities to undermine them and make them worry.
