T nil sounds no easy when

lug pnrases nlmnt perseverance and
courage, Willi very little concerning
tlio snags nml llio pitfalls, nml noth
ing lit nit to say of (lie Imlm to use
for slumped purposes nml broken
limb nf resolution.
I mil young, nml t awake curly re
ppatlng to myself ngnln mul again:
"I will mnkn this a ilny of great
things!" Ami on that. "I will" 1 Mop
the trlvnl buttoning of my waist to
crush my limnl in determination: my
chin unconsciously take on n Joint I,.
Knlllvnn initio, nml my inoiith rocs
rigid. Let him oppose who dure!
Then I go on lint loiiinir my waist nml
tho luiltoii rolls olT Just the same, tak
J nr with it n largo lump of my deter
mlnation. Anil nil ilny long button
keep rolling olT, (figuratively, I has
tpn lo nilill until by night, perhaps,
there is not n single one left, nml my
determination, iletneheil, lias slipped
off.
I go out alone nt twilight for n
llioii nil t Till walk. Success germs me
literally swarming nil over me. I say
to myself, softly, "I will s :ccccd !
Others have, no will i:" Again the
limnl clinches mul something wllliln
me swills. "I will:" I say again to
'tlio sunset, nml then to some fancied
obstacle, 'Yon shnll not ilmint hip!" In
itch n tone that nny but the rnilest
obslnelo woulil surely scuttle scared
way.
My Idea of sncce Is rather illin,
hut it pull's me up mul make me feel
nlry nml niiart from tho worlil. The
horizon of my dreams looks rose
colored nml far nwny It Is n groat,
lilg, world-encompassing dreinii that I
tuke with me on my twilight walk.
I rpad sketch nfter sketch of lives of
jrrent men In the niugnKlnes, In tho
papers, everywhere. On nil sides 1
meet with these little biographies of
ueecss. They stir mo nnd stimulate
pie. fn I say. "Jiuy did; I will. I
Will work hard as they worked linrd.
ml I, too, will succeed. I will per
severe without ceasing; I will make
artifices to my work, worship always
t Its shrine; nml thi n I will do things
that shall make the world stop in its
coursonnd wonder."
One thins rankles n little. Always
In the biographies (here were prptty
talcs of the hero's determination,
Poverty bound though his youth was,
go to college; and Just ns sure as
Cls path was littered w ith dllHoiilties,
o sure was he to trample them down
nd pnss on triumphantly to the oppn
doors of the college. Now, I, in my
.very young dnys, hugged to myself n
dream of college life. It pillowed me
to sleep many a night. Not that there
eemed the slightest probability of its
fulfillment, indeed, there was every
reason to suppose it could not possibly
come to pass, but what mattered thqt
fc my dream? (Indeed, would a dream
le a dream, all pumped up with pro
bability?) So I cherished it none the
less nnd felt perfectly pertain thnt I
)-uld not possibly bo cheated of my
" rightful heritage. I saw- pleading
ibllnnthroplsts trooping forward to
Lelp in such a good cause. But the
lay of graduation came to hand and
J e expected philanthropists bad for
gotten their cue and fulled to appear
tipon the stage of my well ordered
dreams. The stupid problem of work
presented itself to me with tho same
knrshno'g that it would to any ordi
nary non-hcrolne being. It was my
unmlstaknble part to pitch In and help
tho family finances it might sound
(well In books nnd biographies, but in
real life it was prosaic, deadly dull
nd inevitable.
Of course, I might Lave chucked
duty, borrowed money of some
abundantly provided friend and gone
on to college, leaving the family to
shoo the wolf away without uiy Lelp.
And I admit that If I bad been truly
great I could have managed to get my
college education nnd still have kept
tho family going with the pro.-eeds of
chocolate fudge or Welsh rarebit con
cocted ut odd hour for classmates.
But my greatness was not that great,
cud I gulped down with a hard swal
low my college dream nnd delved into
work some small newspaper position,
In which I chose to see large possi
bilities. My eyes nre of the kind that
naturally ndjust themselves to magni
fying glasses.
And so my career began. It was
bard, cruelly bard, with stings nml
tumbles unnumbered during that first
year. But it could be ouly a little
while, I though, before some brilliant
future would open up to me. I worked
hard, so hard that sometimes there
came tears of bitterness that blurred
tii tr magnifying glasses for a moment.
2t was work so distasteful, so unlike
yny dreams hud pictured. Bur then
toy thoughts reverted to tho biogra
phies. All great people had been so
haniuereil. 1 took comfort, resorted to
the "I will" process! I turned my
thought suecessward and redoubled
my energies. With pprhaps small
feeling of pride In the self sacrifice,
I gave up my friends and frivolities
and stuck to my work.
To be sure, nil my efforts were not
without their reward. The monthly
stipend grew somewhat stouter, re
sponsibilities were added to me, and
occasional compliments began to drift
my way from the editor's desk. My
position was dimmed until, after three
years, I began In a tiny way lo be
somebody. "Kind friends, sweet
friends," began to meet me with pleas
ant words on my "wonderful success,"
nnd dear old ladles congratulated my
mother on her daughler'a "brilliant
career," until her bead was quite
turned. I ndmlt I felt at times a bit
puffed up with Importance, but In the
noon glare of my consciousness I hnd
lo bide a smile nt the absurdity nf It
nil; for I knew In my dreniiiflllcd
heart that this Ihey enlled success was
not even a faint shadowing of what t
bad determined on. I tried lo write
now nml then things that my best
fancy dictated, and though there were
words of praise from a scattered few,
I knew thnt the callous editor rend
them not at nil. or, if he did, probably
commented, "pretty good rot, I guess,
If anybody likes thnt kind of slnlT."
Knur years, live years have gone nnd
the horiiton is still fur, far nwny nnd n
little cloudy; the brilliant future, it
seems, Is under lock nnd Fate appears
to have mislaid the key. I stop a bit
and look about me. I have never
lo isencd my grasp for a moment on the
dream of success, Indeed I have fed it
fatter all the lime and have worked
toward It always; but so far ns re
sults go, I seem Just ns ninny leagues
away from that future. I bnve will
ten a dozen or more things thnt I
thought really good, quite worthy to
go to the magazines ns fore-runners
of what Is lo come from my pen In
(he day of my greatness. The dozen
or more, somewhat soiled and travel
worn, nre still In my desk, having
shown no disposition to stay long
away from me.
I can think of nothing the subjects
of biographies could possibly have
done that I have not done. And now,
taking 11 pause to look 11 limit me, I sit
light down In the middle of the rond -the
same that I have been traveling
nt such a f minus pace, seeming to
get nowhere In particular mul ponder
II little. Could they have been wrong,
nil those biographies, or Is It that I
am nil wrong J With such perfect
iiniyilmlty they told" the same story,
only the names and dates varying.
Now what am I to do, poor, misled
worker lhat I nm? Having heretofore
walked always with my nose down-to
the rules of success carefully laid out
In the books, I think In future I shall
throw biographies to the winds and
begin living out a new, strange
biography till my own. I shall work ns
I wish, unfettered, ungiililed by others'
experience, and though, nnd probnbly,
the little till god .Success may still
turn up his little tin nose nt me, I
shall have my Joy nnd my freedom.

On other cause of Illness prevalent
In hot, dry weather is dust, and this,
with a little attention, might be abat
ed. The usual practice of municipal
authorities Is still to sweep the perfect
ly dry and dust-laden streets In the
small and early morning hours by
means of powerful machine brushes,
with the net result thnt the dust at
least, its finer particles is sent whirl
ing into the air only to fali ngnln; the
particles are rearranged, uot removed.
The problem has been solved ill tho
cities of London, Westminster and
Paris, and perhaps In others, by wash
ing the streets in the early morning
and sweeping them afterward if nec
essary. This Insures tli removal of
the dust without plnyliiKt tho eternal
Slsyphus-Uke task of stirring up over
and over again tho same dust particles,
a sort of "scavenger's lubor lost." With
regard to country roads, the plan of
applying a chemical substance greedy
of water, such as calcium chloride, to
the roadwny has been tried with ad
vantage. "We8trumtte," a eomblna
tifln containing this substance, has
been used In many plnces with success
so far as bicycles and motors are con
cerned. The hydroscopic body ab
sorbs moisturo from the air, and thus
keeps the ronds damp. The question
of the Influence of such substance on
horses hoofs nnd on rubber tires has
still to be considered. British Medical

BOATS WITH F.Yi:.
In China, where so many hundreds of
people live their entire lives nil boats,
there Is a very straiiKe Idea Hint nil eye
must be painted on the bow of the boat
that It may see lis way through tho
water.
An Kn.ilxliimn traveling In China
sat In Hie front nf a small boat with
bis feet hanging over I he painted eye.
The owner became very much excited
nnd begged the traveler not to cover
the eye of the boat, as It must seo Its
way.
When the first railroad was built
throiii.il China Hie native workmen
were anxious to paint an eye 011 the
front of the locomotive. They thought

what you have if you cannot know

We often go to the bookcase looking

A BEAR AND A COW.
Sir. Finest Harold Kaynes, tho Worn
au's Home Companion naturalist, re
lates of the amusing doings of u black
hear cub. He says:
"'Jimmy' had an interview with a
cow the other day, and iheresi:lt was
amusing. The tow had a talf with
her, so she was much bolder, than
usual. 'Jimmy' didn't want her calf,
but tho cow didn't know that, nnd
started after him with n strong sugges
tion of business in her eye. But
'Jimmy' wus not nsleep, nnd before
the burns came near enough to look
dangerous he was safe in the crotch of
a tree with a very Impudent look oil
his naughty little face, then with a
growl, which might have betfti inter
m h 71 .SSk
preted 'Who's afraid, he earn sliding
down tall llrst, nnd -went striding out
lo meet the cow like a pigmy to meet a
giant. 'Hosy' lowered her head and
prepared for battle, but 'Jimmy' fought
according lo rules of his own, As the
eow came near Hip cub rose on Ills hind
legs, and 'squaring oft" Ho prize
fighter, he swung for the Jaw Willi
tight and left In rapid succession, nnd
landed twice. This trick astonished
the eow, who stepped back In a hurry,
nml before she could recover 'Jimmy,'
with what looked very much like a
sneer, turned mul boiled up the tree
again. Finally I drove Hie eow away
mid we continued our walk."
A THICK Foil OIKI-H.
This Is n trick for girls, though there
Is no reason why the boys should uot
do It, too, ir the can. A little rniulllar
Ity with needles and thread, by the
way, can do a boy no harm nnd may
be very Useful to him.
The n l k Is most easily done Willi
loosely woven thread and a coarse
needle Willi n long eye. First tin end
the needle In the ordinary way with
a thread two or three yards long.
Draw the ends to the same length, un
twist Hie threads a little about four
Inches from tli ' m edic mul pass the
point of the neeille through both
tl reads, ns shown iu figure 1.
Iirnw the needle, with its loop (if
threads, completely through both
threads, as shown In figure 2, and
keep on pulling 11 11 1 II you have drawn
the double thread out straight as it
was at first. There will be two tiny
knots when you have drawn tho
thread through Itself, b;it they will be
nlmost of quite "invisible, so Hint tho
needle and Ihiv nl will look like any
oilier needle mul Ihiviid. Now hold
the needle, verticil with the point up,
lu th. right ban Willi tho lert lin
ger mul 1 1 1 11 j nl pick i.p one of the
threads between tile needle and the
Invisible kuots-that Is to say, nn Inch
or two from the eye of Hie needle
nnd pull It lu the direction of the ar
row In figure ii that Is, pull mvay from
the needle until you bring the little
Invisible knots up to nnd through the
eye of the needle. Now you have the
needle threaded with three . threads.
Continue pulling nil three, alwnys In
the same direction, until the little
knots slip through the eye ngnln and
bring two or more threads with them,
Co on In this way, gaining two threads
at each passage of the knots, until the
eye becomes too full to hold any more
thread.
The threaded needle now has the
appearance of the rlght-hnnd drawing.
The left band one shows it nfter the
loops of thread have been cut at tho
bottom.
This Is one of the tricks Hint are
more easily done than described. Yon
will be surprised to find how easy It Is
though if you did not know how to
do It it would seem impossible.
But If you want to surprise people
very much, Indeed, Just show them the
threaded needle with the Invisible
knots, which you have prepared In
secret and which they will take for
nn ordinary threaded needle, nnd an
nounce that you will put In tho other
twenty or more threads without seeing
tho needle. Then proceed ns before,
