I f yon should w ant an InlAntVdhat tj,
an uulnbabltcd Inland—to r the purpose
of occupying It alone, Boblnson Crtwos
like. or to use It for romantic action or
for cay other purpose. to the exclnstaa
of-all others in the world, you need bars
ao trouble In finding one i f you aee fit
to make a Journey to the Indian ocean,
in tbe waters between Madagascar and
India you can find more than 15,000 of
them, tvboio there la not a human be­
ing uud where you can, i f you w ill, ba
monarch of all you snrvey.
An English traveler has recently been
among the small islands that dot tlia
western end of the Indian ocean to
make an inventory of them and re­
ports that lie counted 10,100 and found
only about 000 of them Inhabited.
Now, there la a good chance for any
one who may w ant an Island.
These particular Islands are not targe,
aa islands go. but very many o f them
are sulficlcnt for the purpose o f a Itob-
Inaou Crusoe or any other novel here
or for even a small Colony o f ship­
wrecked mariners o r other persons who
might be cast on one o f them or seek
for the purpose o f making a borne pret­
ty much out of the busy world.

a man who depreciates himself,
talks of failure, walks like a full-

who is always complaining of tb*
insurmountable difficulties iq his

the road to failu re— how long
would it take him to arrive at the
success goal? fW ould anyone be

The m ajority of failures began
to deteriorate by doubting or de­

The moment you harbor doubt

you capitulate to the ci. my.
