And Plutarch said; " Perse- | vor-itico in the hi-Kl frl.-nil unit nllv of those who use properly the opportunities Una It preseuif end the , worst enemy of those who rush into accion before It summons them." "IPersevernnce," says flte sage is that faculty which gives us the i power to accomplish a piece of , work without allowing ourselves. to , he turned aside from our purpose either by the initial difficulties In- I volved or by the obstacles thu, multiply themselves as we progress with our task." rrhe qualities of a man of perseverance are tenacity, composure, pa tience, activity, pose, -attention. It is prohable that in many of us lie dormant these qualities. The man who stubbornly refuses to face the realities of life Is doomed to to fail In almost everything he undertakes. Failure is invariably the lot of a man who neglects to persevere according to righteous principles. As we traverse life's way we observe those who have wooed and won success, material, and many times spiritual _ success. They pereavered. He who has attained material sue cess may find happiness; hut he who has attained both spiritual and material success has found happiness! And to attain genuine happiness one must persevere. A man's perseverance can bring mm amazing success avnu nappiness or it can take him -to the depths of hell. It all depends upon his principles. For example, the great Napoleon was a man of perseverance, hut his principles caused him to die .n poverty on the isle of St. Helena, an exile, a man without a country, even though once a conqueror. Some of us have persevered, but out principles led us astray. We We are destined to lead a more or less miserable existence as long as we continue to live erroneously. ? Selected.

Probably I'm the innocent victim f some mental maladjustment, but I always see somethiner humorous u the reactions of a crowd of peole when some calamity ,threi\ens. .Vhen a mob becomes confused, or hen one person In the center of a .at of activity becomes confused, here's no telling what the mob or he person might do. It was that vay when Miss Carlyle Ware's house was burning Tuesday night. Of course, there's nothing funny ibout a house, someone's home, ourning to the ground. Ihit some of :ie things people do are always hunorous. Mrs. Bill Craig, who dla covered the fire, hopped out of the :ath tub, grabbed a robe and a coat ailed the fire department ? all with remarkable presence of mind ?and then dug up her grade book, tnd stood In the door giving directions. Now probably, to a school teachjr. and Mrs. Craig is one, a grade ook is awfully Important. It spells the destiny of a lot of school boys and girls. In such a case as Mrs. Craig's, it might even say whether a boy does or doesn't graduate. But I believe I would have been worrying about other things, "rtte school kids (most of them) wouldn't hsve mlhded if the book' bad burned. 1 wouldn't have minded when I was In school. 1 After tbe tire, and up to the school house we went, to bom what hind if Major Mowes Charlie Thora&Mon could be. He was a good one. And he large attendance was-very encouraging. It just goes to show what t peraon can do if he works on the ? T., A., and with Mrs. Griffin.
