Where Her THOUGHTS Were.

A tall, blonde, handsome fellow, just
returned from "over there" came in
quite frequently to see my boss and
naturally I became interested in him.
One day, during dictation, while my
boss was deciding what to say, my
thoughts became centered around this
young man, whom, for convenience,
/ will call Mr. Smith.
At this juncture my employer said,
s'Will you please read. what l have
said so far?"
And to my discontinue and his in
tense amusement | said, Referring to
attached letter from Mr.. Smith in
stead of the correct name.
He laughed and said, $50 that's
where your thoughts are, young

in CAME OF LIFE
The Winner Is He Who Concen-
trates on His Aim.
Success Means That One Must Make
All Sacrifices, Keeping in Mind
the Great Object.

If you desire to be an expert in the
game of life, you must concentrate on
your aim as an expert chess or base
ball player concentrates on his play
and game. Babe Ruth'S skill lies
in the fact that he has studied batting
and great batters. NapOleon's ire
mendous power lay in his ability to
sacrifice everything which conflicted
with the one unwavering aim. Nothing
could stand in his way-society,
friends, wife and amusements-eyery
thing must give way to his mighty am
bition. To succeed, we must pay the
price and sacrifice sacrifice d great
many things we are fond of for the
great aim and ambition in life.
Life is usually what we make it, and
we get out of life just what we put
in it. Many great men in life have
made good and were handicapped from
the start. Voltaire, with his many
fits in childhood, ill all his life; Pope
sewed up in canvas jacket each
morning, that he might sit up for his
work; Caesar with fits; Napoleon
with fits and the itch; Keats, Sickly,
consumptive; Poe with nerves that
tormented him, yet with all these
things against them, they had the grit
to persevere until they made good.
Gypsy Smith, coming from gypsy
tent, with the use of a Bible and die
tionary, has made good as a great
evangelist.
man must play to win and over
come everything that would deter his
progress.
Sacrifice makes great men. John
Forsythe, who was the owner of
large leather company, was hurt with
a number of his men. When the am
bulance came, that would only carry
three, Forsythe said: ''These men must
go first" although he was more Sc
verely injured. Sir Robert Sidney on
the battlefield, pushed away the cup
of water, making a wounded private
drink his share. He knew he must
die, but he died knowing that even the
love Of life had not conquered in his

life, others must come first.
Really great men have self-cond-
dence 1t is true, great men fall to
accomplish what they set out to do;
but, in the main, they succeeded. The
timorous man only wags his empty
head, and says it can't be done. Bill
McAully is a type of man that can can
the can't. A few years ago there was
"a riot in little Texas town. The
sheriff sent an S o S call to the gov
ernor to send a troop of Texas
Rangers. The governor wired back:
Rangers en- route" The sheriff anx-
iously met the train. One lonely
ranger (Bill McAully) got off. The
sheriff threw up his hands In despair.
ooh, Lord, where is the rest of your
OUTFIT" he cried. "Rest, h-l! re-
piled Bill, as he carelessly took big
chew of tobacco. "You amt got but
one riot here, have you?" This is the
kind of timber and confidence that it
takes to reach the top and win the
game of life.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
