Alul Initiative almost nlvvnvs goes hand

There ate so many people In this woild
who seem to he without a grain or ambi

two couiscs of action. A stt align lack of
decisiveness prevents them from definite

or life. And so they never accomplish
anything nt nil. for no matter how

CHILDREN'S CORNER
MK. ROOSTER KNOWS A GREAT DEAL
fHh PEAR, but this Is n stupid old
J world." said Mr. Rooster to himself
one spring morning. "Here 1 am a tine,
beautiful, blf rooster and I have to live
In a common old chicken vnrd all the
time I get so tired and disgusted!"
tXow, of course, he didn't know that ev
eilbody, no matter where they are or
what they axe, gets tired and disgusted
sometime no, ' thought ho was the
only jierson o afflicted')
"And what is a chicken yard? Nothing
ever happens in a chicken yard! We Just
eat the game old things and crow the
tame old crows and scrap the Mime old
scraps and go to sleep on the same old
root -anJ "
'Oh. do stop talking," said another
rooster; "you are not nearly as bad off
as you think you are!" The grumbly
roostei- snorted, but the other went on as
though he tiad not heard. "Here we have
plenty to eat and a pice place to sleep
and look! Kven now. there cornea a One
meal for us!" And without more ado, he
Mrutted off to pet his share.
Another meal!" giunted the prumbly
fooster. "as though meals were all I
rud for! Of course. I am well fed! Who,
vycwMo't want to feed a nice handiomo
(poster like me?" And Just to show bow
haruUome he was, he walked up
and clown In front of the other fowls.
Usually they were much Impressed ly
htip, for say what the others would, that
erunjbly old rooster had a wonderful
unit! But omehow or other today no
body eemd to notice hlrti. Nobody even
looked at him And how In the world can
yon impress people who don't look at
"you 11 t.ao t be done'
iiVi" jUti Mi itooster saw that no one
w luokint; and wondered at it 'hat
ther flna tbat 1 more Uiterestm
Uutu wT" be asi Wmsejf. "J
y1?
I'll watch and see what they ;m look
ing at."
"Siliy old things," he crowed, "they do
get excited easily!"
Hut Just tlie'sanih he vvns very ciirlohs.
He vvnlked closer and closer, and each
time he went bj the group of eager
chickens he craned his neck to see what
the chattering was about; nnd each time
he failed to seti what was on the ground
in the centre of the group.
riuallv, his curiosity grew bigger than
his pi hie, and he pushed Ills way into I lie
middle of the clacking, lighting circle.
And what do you suppose h found
when he got there? Some wonderful new
food? No. Home new little chicks? No:
nothing like that.
He found piled up on the ground, just
where the farmer's daughter had tossed
them, (pome bright green and yellow and
blue nnd purple things that looked
like eggs only who ever saw eggs In such
colois? lie clawed thtni with his feet,
he poked them with Ills bill then, quite
suddenly, he knew what they were! "Oh,
you stupid tilings!" h ald (o Ids fellow
chicks, "lhoe are old Easter eggs that
they've thrown out for us to eat!' And
he felt so comfortably superior to think
that he alone knew fcomethlng. that all
his grumbllnesa dropped orf of hlin like
a woinout fejther and he began eating
with a will!

To tell the truth, I want to see If I

going to waste his one lire. Just because
ho couldn't have everything he wanted:
he was going to hove something, ir not

knew what It vvns he had lacked.
And Frank Chapman, too, was going
on! Some day. Instead of this student
desk before him. there would be a i oil
top business man's desk. Instead of this
student chair, there would be an oilier
swivel chair. At one hand would be a
telephone, at the other a stenogiapher.
Fiank Chapman was going to be a suc
cess among men!
Suddenly, eageily, lie snatched a pen.
'near Joy." he wrote swiftly. "It shall

pnnarea a stimulating panacea! Tbeie is
nothing hue can't drown In work. Some

He sealed the note and ran down stalls
with it.
"Here, boy!" he called to one of the er
rand boys that ulwnys lolled around tho
door, "To Miss Mason, Xo. E Liberty

When the bo had gone ho turned and
plodded vigorously up the stairs. On tho
thieshold of his mom his ejes sought thy
textbook lying on ills desk. He nnide
for it. He hurled himself in it. He didn't
even hear nreycouit's practicing.
The first outside thing he was conscious
of was the Insistent linging of tho ha. I
telephone bell lie Jumped to his feet.
"Yes." lie nnsvveied the phone, with a
volco that thrilled In the new, wonderful,
realization vthot had come to him that
realization which Is ambition.
Then he gasped. Intensity leaped to
his face.
"Joy!" ho cried unbelievingly. "Why
Joy!"
It was she a very humble, tearful Joy
"I I BOt your note," came her tremu
lous voice. "It sounded ns If you you
hadn't cared for me all along as If you
didn't really want me "
"Want you!" His tone said "Just
give me a chance! I'll be around there
In three minutes.
Yet, he hung up the receiver with a
leisurely motion. It was the motion that
a successful man must adopt a some,
thing that he owes to his dignity. He
went back Into his room very much a
he would step into his office, some years
hence. As he dressed to go to the woman
he had chosen, he whistled a merry tune.
