About Ambition.

Hitch your wagon to star" is an
old saying which has a real point to
it. 1t means simply this; Be ambi-
tiousi
Aim high. You may not gain your
objective, but the higher you aim the
higher you are likely to get.
Many can't be great. but there's a
lot of room at the top Of the ladder
and the boy or girl who looks ahead
and plans and works has a good
chance OF getting there.
Ambition isn't much good alone,
though. 1t has to be coupled with
perseverance and willingness to work.
If you have all three, you're bound TO
succeed.
Be ambitious. Set your goal now,
and make 1t a real one. Then work
hard at school and in your spare time
to fit yourself for 1t. Learn to take
the hard knocks of daily life with q
smile. and keep on trying.
And be sure your objective is
worthy one.

Not Much on Spelling.

A New York policeman found a
dead horse in one of the streets. He
reported the case to headquarters,
where the sergeant said a written ac-
count was necessary. The policeman
complained he couldn't spell the name
of the street, which, he thought, was
difficult. Apparently he would have
to find the correct spelling before he
could write his report About an hour
later he returned to the police station,

II he had the correct spelling of the

Never Label Yourself Too High.

Never Label Yourself Too High.
'Tis not what we have that commends
us to God,
But character dwelling within.
A heart that will scorn everything
that is mean,
And shun cen the whisper of sin.
We oft may pretend in our folly and
pride
That no one our fame can deny,
Forgetting the Lord sees us just as
we are,
When we label ourselves too high.
Start right at the bottom and work
your way up;
The progress may be very slow,
But when on life's ladder you rise
step by step,
'Tis the greatest of comfort to know
You've earned the distinction by good
honest work,
And not tried to live out a lie:
False greatness and true, are like
darkness and light;
Do not label yourself too high.
The quantity will never count up
above,
But quality goes to the top;
Be humble in spirit and reach for
the best,
Else close to the bottom you'll drop.
Let love rule each action, you'll find
your right place,
If not on this earth, by and by,
When the wheat shall be sifted away
from the chaff;
Don't label yourself too high.
