No Success withou, Effort.

It's seldom you can do what you
want to do the first time you try. To
be sure If you have been working
along a given line there may not be
any difficulty in your doing what Is
comparatively new without trouble. On
the other hand there are few people
who are gifted enough to walk o?
with the palm the first time the task
comes up. Failure Is not SO much a
matter of lack of ability as 1t is of un'
organized effort. When young men
learn to plod along until they are
masters of' the thing they would do
there will be no question about suc'
cess. Too many want to succeed with
out effort. Nature Is a little slow in
rewarding such.-Grit.

light which was allowed to reach the
plants, the blossoming date could be
speeded or retarded at pleasure. II

the young poinsettia only few hours
each day. It evidently takes the lack
of light for the approach of the short

Rubber Shoes Life Savers.

A fact which is probably only slight
ly known is che immunity from the at
tacl;s Of lightning which is afforded by
wearing a pair of rubbers.
The person who assumes these Gov
erlngs must be careful not to come in
contact with anything except the floor.
Providing he follows this instruction
he can not possibly be injured by the
lightning In any way.
The explanation is simple enough
The electric fluid before it can pass in
to human being or animal must first
come in contact with the earth. Its
passage from the earth to the wearer
of the rubbers Is of course, stopped
by the soles Of the latter.
SO next time storm Is brewing
hurry up and get out your rubbers
