] | EVlniy ow Great Things Are Done \ By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory ne Caprright, 1919, by The Pres Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World). » COLLEGE stu once asked the President of one of our New Erg- land universities if he could not take » shorter course than the one laid down in the prospectus of the institution. “That depends,” replied. the icvel-headed old President, “upon what eri w Mako of yourself, When nature wants to make an oak she away on the job's hundred years, but if sho only wants to make a r ) 1 1 the needs only about six months.” “Tho President knew’ what the student did not know, that there is no horbctit to great and lasting success. ‘he President know that “hard is the way and long” that out of ‘gn0- and inexperience leads up to the wisdom that is so essential to the pinning of life's nobler prizes. o,) Where is, to be sure, a “get-rich-quick” sort of method by which certain nds Of atiecess are reached; but when it comes to the acquisition of the jee that is power, no such subterfuge can be resorted to. Whether ls Jn manual training along the more skilled lines or in the professions, be prepared to labor long, hard and patiently if one would achieve es great results. ‘The story of all the big successes that are found in history deals with toll, with its grim, dogged, unrelenting determination, its “never- le" resolve to do whatever may be required in the way of work and -umerifice to reach the desired end! ) “he lives of the men who have been‘eminently successful remind us of ibut work, work, work! reached the thrones of their power and influence !s a demonstration ancient pronouncement that there is “no royal road to fame.” destinies are thoroughly democratic and impartial, and whoever the requirements is passed on to the proper reward. No one is without the right credentials. Money, social standing, “pull” and } ‘other things have great power atid influence, but they exercise no }eontro! of the Fates that hand out to men success or failure. é ‘You cannot sneak into suceess, or buy your way into it, or lazily steal ‘Ynto it across lots. It must be won by honest, faithful effort, kept up through the weary years by the determination that never falters. © To be sure, if you are willing to compromise on the “squash,” you can shorten up the work, and by the “hop, skip and jump” plan “get there,” Dut if you are after the oak such tactics will not serve you. _ Such has always been the rule, and so far as I know there has been mo change of programme. ‘The rule that all the grandly successful men of the past have been obliged to obey is the rule that must be obeyed to-day by all who would do really great things. “Something for nothing” is a principle that has never yet been recog- nized by the sovereign laws that preside over the fortunes of men. Glimpses Into New York Shops 1s but natural, since short sleeves i hiave been adopted, that bracelets @hould again be popular. So if your grandmother has saved her @haped gold band bracelets you are fortunate. The shops are showing these in varying widths, ee & oo or conventional pattern.

This is quite desitable espe- clally for blouses. It comes in the various prevailing colors and sells at 39 cents a yard. ‘The newest belts are very narrow. About one inch wide is the popular width and they come in patent leath- er and very pretty fancy effects. A nice one is only 50 cents. Among the new sport hats bright yellow is prominent. The hats of yellow duvetyn are especially in de mand. In the men's shops the long dis- carded derby has again reappeared and a prominent merchaat predicts the derby will supersede the long popular soft hat as a fall favorite. Of course the derby is black, while the soft hats come in a variety of colors. ‘white discs appliqued on the organdy avith @ running stitch of pale green It is @ novel idea that any lewoman might carry out midsummer or fall ALVALFA SMITH, Always sincerely, ream colored lace draped over black why not? 5 satin, yet this is what is being shown : fh the shope,and they are really belng Are you happy?

The Scotchman and the man at grips with him went over the side together, Clear and joud rang the voice of Elliot. “Man overboard!” The wheelsman had known for some minutes that there was trouble afoot. He signalled to the engine room to reverse and blew short, sharp shrieks of warning. Already deck- hands and officers, scantily clad, were appearing from fore and aft. “Men overboard—two of 'em!" ex- plained Elliot in a shout from the boat which he was trying to lower, Across the water came a call for help. “I'm sinking—hurry!” ‘The other man in the river was a dozen yards from the one in distres: With strong, swift, overhand strokes he shot through the water. “All right,” he called presently, “T've got him.” The oarsmen drew alongside the swimmer, With one hand Macdonald caught hold of the edge of the boat. The other clutched the rescued man by the hair of his head, “Look out. You're drowning him,” the mate warned, “Am I? Macdonald glanced with mild interest at the head that had been until that. moment submerged. “Shows how absent-minded a man gets, Twas thinking about how he| tried to drown me, I expect.”” They dragged the miner aboard, | “Go ahead, I'll swim down,” Mac- donald ordered. “Better come aboard,” advised the ate.

It hurt every time he twitched @ muscle, The young man stepped to the looking - glass. Both eyes were blacked, his lip had been cut, and there was a purple weal well up on his left cheek. He bathed, dressed and went out on the ‘deck. Barly though he was, one passen- ger at least was up before him.
