will find that it makes for progress,
and even ease.
If there is certain amount of
drudgery that must be got through to-
day, tackle 1t right now, get II done,
and you can turn with a clear con-
science to something more interesting.
Don't be afraid of firing yourself by
the drudgery. Your brain can stand
far more work than you are ever likely
to give it without wearing out. And
even If 1t is little weary at the end
of the day, little relaxation and a
good nights sleep will make it as fresh
as ever in the morning.
Tackle the rough, dull job and get 1t
out of the way. Leave the afternoon
for pleasanter duties, and the after
noon of your life, which is meant for
enjoyment, will be left also to more
congenial and more satisfying tasks.

DOES A MAGNET

TINE exact principle which causes

cling to them with force which over

that piece Of iron which has been
electrically treated will attract and
hold various other metals. The force
which it eXerts we call magnetism

forces which puzzle science and, up

THE REAL CONQUERORS

TT is not the general who takes a
L city and leaves behind him a name
for military sagacity, who is the real
conquerOr in life, but the unknown
private, who fights single-handed
battle with self and finally triumphs
1t is this lowly warrior who has
the most to overcome. He goes to
battle in silence, conscious of the over
whelming odds arrayed against him.
There are no shrieking shells or
roaring cannon to announce his com
ing-no bugle calls nor throbbing
drums.
Often he fights side by side with
thousands who utter not sound.
Once he awakes to some defect of
character which threatens his ruin,
he girds his armor and faces the
foe.
And if by valiant fighting he sue
ceedS in saving himself. he comes
forth from the fray a real conqueror.
His name is unpublished in the
press, but 1t is sung among the angels!
He has overcome and to him will
be given the reward promised in the
Scriptures.
Passion, pride, selfishnoss, avarice
disobedience and forgetfulness of the
Golden Rule are among the enemies
that men fight alone.
They are in every corner of the
earth, in our own homes, in our own
hearts.
From them come our repinings and
tears, our fears and failures.
