There are only dull' men. There is not a single job ic the world, however humble, but that has a color and inspiration entirely :ts own. mere are no riamucups. no limited opportunities. There are cnly the limitations with which we narrow our vision and destroy our dreams. There is no hard luck. There is on ly our admission that what has hap If-ened to us is so hard that we are too soft to rise against it. There are no heroes or cowards. The hero is the one who has accepted his fears but gone on. The coward has ac cepted his fears but turned back. For life is never so bad at its worst that it is impossible to live; it is never so good at its best that it is easy to live. You are the fellow that has to decide Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside. You are the fellow who makes up your mind Whether you’ll lead or linger behind.. Whether you’ll try for the goal that’s afar Or be contented to stay where you. are. lake it or leave it, here’s something to do. Just think it over, it’s all up to you! S. M. THOMPSON.
