It is the wife who (figuratively) fastens

manages to wheedle everything she wants

1t is the wife who blinks at his little weak

TRAVEL HOPEFULLY
b. r. Addington Bruce

TT was Robert Louis Stevenson who
I phrased the aphOrism, 'To travel hope
fully is q better thing than to arrive"
Stevenson might we'll have added, "And by
travelling hopefully arrival is made the more
certain"
People too often forget this to their
great hurt.
For the fact of the matter is that those
who fail to travel hopefully, by the very
fact of that failure diminish the likelihood
OF their arrival, OF winning the success that
should be theirs.
OF this I was reminded the other day by
the sage comment of a friend, devotee of
that widely popular card game known as
auction bridge. We were speaking of an
acquaintance who often took part in bridge
games with my friend.
''He tells me- I remarked, that he hard
ly ever holds good hands, and that usually
he is beaten before a rubber begins"
HE is beaten" was the grim rejoinder,
because he expects to be beaten. He has
the average run of luck, so far as concerns
the hands he gets. But he is so convinced
he can't win that when good hands come
his way he doesn't make the most of them -
There are people who needlessly handi-
cap themselves in precisely this manner as
regards matters Of infinitely more impor-
lance than game of bridge.
Ihey feel that the cards Of life are
stacked against them. They have sad
conviction that whatever they undertake is
sure to go wrong.
Under this conviction their efforts to
make things go right are half-hearted. But
half-heartedness gets one nowhere, particu-
larly in the present era of strenuous COM
petition. Vigorous thinking, vigorous act
ing, are indispensable.
And both vigorous thinking and vigorous
acting are beyond the power of those who
travel despondent,y rather than hopeful!v
Whereass to hopeful travellers, because of
the tonic quality of hope, it is almost a.
matter Of course to think and act vigor-
ously.
Great hopes make great men,"
Hope and strive is the way to thrive"
Hope is the best medicine"
Hope of all passions most befriends us
here ~
mot to have hope is the poorest Of all
conditions
without hope there is no energy"
These, one and ALL are variant express
SONS or the self-same truth-a truth which
none can afford to ignore who really wishes
to win recognition some day as among the
arrived
