MOLDING OF A CHAHACTER’ Matter of the Greatest Moment to! Which Too Little Thought Is | Directed. i To nothing in life, perhaps, is thers directed so little thought as fo the | shaping of a career—the molding of a | character. Thousands of men and | women around us live thelr indifferent lives, and pass away without doing unything really worth while, failing to | get out of life its best and most beau- tiful. We need not achieve wonder- rul things or become great personages ! high in the esteem of the world; it matters not whether we are king or peasant, the stamp of merit is placed on those who give their whole-hearted attentlon to whatever they undertake. Whether it be the making on an intri- cate marvel of workmanship or the ex- ecution of everyday dutles, Whatever i asslgned to.us should call forth the best that Is in us. Let us not be afraid to examine our faults. It requires courage, certalnly, to welgh our own defects and look them bravely In the face; but it is only by so doing that we may over- come them and cast them aside. Shall we be content to drift along without striving to rise above the level of those who do not care? Our charac- ter lies in our cwn hands. There is no one else in the world who can make or mar it. We may be influ- enced, of course, by gocd or evil as- sociates, but with ourselves lies the uniform molding of our career. We ure the sculptors, our life is the clay. Wae can make it an indistinguishable mass of materlal or the masterplece of u Michelangelo. Which shall we rhoose? OVERWORK IS GREAT FOLLY! brought to her for instruction. “Oh, what a dear!” exclaimed the young woman. ‘“Have you any broth- ers like yourself?” “Yes'm,” replied the cherub; ‘“‘me and Tommy and Dick. I like Dick best.” And why do you like Dick best?"" “’Cause he did me a great favor. He bit Tommy's leg.” “But, dearie,” protested the teach- er, “why should you want Dick to bite Tommy's leg?" “'Cause 1 hate the taste of Tom- my's leg.” explained the cherub.

Everything is| serene.” “What, then, Is the reason for your | going? { Whittier smiled. =0 “My dear boy,” he replied, “don’t you know that when everything is| running smoothly, when there is abso- lutely no cause tor complaint, when | Angeles Express.
