coffee shop, when Patrolman S. C..
Tuck entered the place one night.

fined this amount by the city recorder

Patrolman Tuck testified that the

ence led him to investigate. He found
that some of the patrons were disor-
derby, he said. He then served Miss

THE LOST ISLAND"

IT'S THE struggle toward the goal and not
the attainment of it that gives life its zest
L We read short story the other day in which
the author describes an old sea captains life
long hunt for lost island Periodically the old
captain would make his voyages OF search and
during these he would be all excitement Des-
pite failure after failure he would return to the
quest with renewed vigor whenever opportunity
offered.
One day the old man confided to youth
full member of sis crew that should he find his
island he surely would die. Somehow he felt
that if this ambition should be realized there
would not be anything left to live for. During
all the years of a long life this island had been
his dream. He was sure it existed somewhere
and he was equally certain that some day he
would come upon it. The existence OF the island
was shrouded in mystery, its story mostly ira
ditional. The author does not tell US whether
the captain realized his ambition but we see the
old man Drawing the waves on a dark night, hav-
ing thrown himself overheard because the crew
of his boat would not permit him to steer it in
the direction of something that he thought was
his lost island. Whether he persisted or found
the place he was looking for is left uncertain

THE BUSINESS MAN is NOT LUCKY

II HE BUSINESS MAN does not stumble
upon fortune; there is no possibility OF
his striking oil' and having wealth pour
ed upon him by the lavishness of nature. His
success comes only as a result of unremitting,
persistent effort-effort concentrated on the bust
ness in which he is engaged. 1t happens, then,
that the virtue of persistence is one of the great
principles inculcated by business. The lesson
that must be learned is that of finding the good
and holding fast to tt-and this involves much
more than merely sticking to the job
American business men are sometimes &C
cused of a narrow concentration on their trade,
of inability to think or talk of other subjects. 1t
is not surprising if this should occasionally be
true, for not every man knows how to meet the
imperative demands of business without giving
his entire self to the task. But persistence, con-
centration, does not mean ABSORPTION, and even
the most eager business man finds time for fam
lily, friends, church and society. Persistence is
virtue; absorption is vice. Business teaches
persistence, shows it to be essential to success,
but does not require the extravaganza of absorp-
ton The business man learns that he must
not be Indifferent to the many relations outside
his vocation; such indifference would itself prove
a serious handicap to his commercial progress.
One of the broadest of virtues may be designated
as courtesy. By courtesy, virtue distinctly in
Iduced by business, mean much more than
politeness, polish any surface exhibition OF
good manners. These not unimportant, but
they are not of such fundamental interest as
genuine heart action" the root meaning OF
courtesy In addition to these surface indica-
Itions, we include under the head of courtesy all
the relations between the individual and those
about him; relations between employer and en-
ploye, such as methods of payment, working
conditions, vacation allowances and recognition
of organizations; relations between competitors
between the business man and his patrons Of
THE public; and between co-workers. Courtesy
Ito patrons is an accepted fundamental of bust

THE CALF.PATH

THE CALF-PATH
One day through the primeval wood,
A calf walked home as good calves should,
But made trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail as all calves do,
And l infer, the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail
And thereby hangs moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By lone dog that passed that way.
And then wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good bell-wethers always do.
And from that day Ger hill and glade
Through those old woods a path was made.
And many men wound in and out
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because twas such a crooked path.
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migration of that calf,
And through the winding woodway stalked
Because he wobbled when he walked.
The forest path became lane.
That bent and bent and turned again;
This crooked lane became road
Where many poor horse with his load
Toed beneath the burning sun
And travelled some three miles in one.
And thus century and a half
- They trod the footsteps of that calf,
,sanaezssSs5 llzzkssxzax
The years passed on in swiftness fleet
The road became village street,
And this, before men were aware,
citys crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this,
Of a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the zig-zag calf about
And Ger the crooked journey went
The traffic of continent!
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf three centuries dead.
