"What did you mean, sir, by saying in your editorial introductory to your advertising pagd a few days ago, that Grit was essential, or at least an adjunct, in winning a foot race?" So read the lines of a polite inquirer whose question we welcome and reply to with pleasure. Worcester's Dictionary defines "grit' as "rigid-, ity, resolution and courage." Some men have abundant strength, and they may also observe a system of dieting to be in excellent .form for athletic sports, but arc utterly lacking in purpose, persistence and energy to win in competitive developments of physical power. They are without GRIT. 0 They need a William Muldoon or a Mike Murphy to push them "over the top" by shaming them, praising them, encouraging them and waking them up to realize that they possess plenty of power if they will only use it, and use it they must. Theodore Roosevelt's finest quality was his grit, which controlled his faculties to do and dare and die, if need be. It took some Grit to put this Store where it is.
