MEN ARE ONLY HUMAN
You've heard of William Mc-
Chesney Martin, Jr., the presi
dent of the New York Stock Ex
change. When I talked with him
in his office on Wall Street, his
desk was not cluttered up with
papers and important documents.
There was nothing but a small
scratchpad.
As he talked he held a paper-

weight in his hand. But it was
not an ordinary paperweight. It
was a stone. On one side was a
copy of the Aztec calendar from
Mexico. He said that this an
cient calendar helped him forget
his troubles, for it made him real
ize that trouble is fleteting and
that time is eternal. When he is
upset over some problem he looks
at his paperweight calendar and
remembers that this trouble will
pass.
Mr. Martin said that, as a stu
dent, he wanted to attend Yale,
and to distinguish himself in
athletics. His almost overwhelm
ing ambition was to wear the let
ter "Y." When he saw anybody
with a "Y" on his sweater, he fol
lowed him down the street, al
most worshipful. But he never
had quite enough courage to go
up and talk to so great a hero!
At last, he arrived at Yale.
Now was liis big chance. Too

light for football, he lined up
with the baseball squad. He al
lowed nothing to keep him from
practice. His freshman year
passed, and he was not on the
team. Came his sophomore year.
He failed. Here he was half-way
through college and no Y in sight.
But he determined to have that
letter in spite of his failures.
So he lined up with the tennis
team. He was going to get on
this team, if it proved to be the
last thing he did in this world.
Back in St. Louis, he had been a
good player, but here he met far
more dangerous competitiors.
He practiced batting balls
against a wall, hour after hour.
He practiced all summer; he
practiced all winter. When his
junior year came he lined up with
the tennis players, working his
way through the try-outs to the
finals. For his opponent, he drew
the best tennis player in Yale. If
this man eliminated him, he
could not enter the Varsity
games. The night before the
game, Martin could not sleep.
His nerves were shaky. Then
suddenly he realized that what he
was really afraid of was not the
man, but the man's reputation.
So he said to himself, "Look here,
am I playing a man or a reputa
tion? I'm playing a man. He's
only human. I can't defeat his
reputation, but I can defeat him."
Mr. Martin told me that this
thought caused a change in his
mental attitude. He went to the
game and won. Triumphantly.
He won the class tournament.
He got his "Y."
He told me that this experience
taught him one of the most im
portant lessons of his life.
Nearly every time, what we are
really afraid of is not the man
himself, but his riches, his rep
utation or his fame. Forget these.
A man is only human. Play him
from that angle.

Well Drilling
Beginning November 24, I will
have one of my well drilling ma
chines located at the home of Joe
Groce in Yadkin county. Among
the wells I have recently com
pleted is the one at the CCC
camp in Elkin, which furnishes
about 25 gallons per minute, and
two for Miss Vera Sawyer, of
Westfield.
I have been drilling wells in
this section for the past 25 years
and during that time have drill
ed in 45 counties of the state. I
now have four modern machines
and am well equipped to drill
wells from 4, 6, 8 and 10 inches
in diameter.

3 Christmas Islands,
Harbor, Cove, Sound,
Are Found in Atlas
Not one, but three Christmas is
lands will celebrate the yuletide this
year, all of them under the British
flag. The first is located in mid-
Pacific and is really a submerged
mountain 15,000 feet high with only j
its top above water. The second,
in the Indian ocean, is forest-cov
ered and had a population of 40 :
when the last census was taken in >
1898. The last Christmas islands is :
near Cape Breton in the maritime •
provinces of Canada.
France has a Christmas harbor on i
Desolation or Kerguelen island '
about 2,000 miles southwest of Aus j
tralia. The United States has a '
Christmas cove near Boothbay har j
bor, Maine, which is a summer re '
sort. '
There is also a Christmas sound '
near the southern tip of South Amer- j
lea about 120 miles northwest of '
Cape Horn and located in an island j
belonging to Chile.

As Kids Imitate Parents \
Today's civilization-on-wheels has j
revolutionized the Twentieth century i
toy industry. Several decades ago 4
children played with paint sets and 1
cut-out dolls. Now girls and boy? j
want wheel goods. The desire to 1
have an automobile like dad's is so i
great that toy auto manufacturers 1
must change their designs as soon j
as new models appear. Velocipedes 1
must be streamlined, scooters must j
have pneumatic tires, and doll car- i
riages must be of the latest baby '
I buggy designs. '
