THINKER'S LOT ONE OF JOY ie long ill fuel w lileh appointed But He Has to Travel a Long and Weary and Rough Road to Attain It. Your education begins when wtlSt Is called your education is over when you mi lunger are stringing together the pregnant thoughts, the "Jewels ilve-wordslong" which great meu have given their lives to cut from the raw uaeriul, hut have begun yourself to work upon ihe raw material Cor re suits which you do tun see, cannol pi edict, uml which 'ftiny i inning- -when you tn ie lb life oilers you for your task, No man has earned the right to In tellectual ambition until he bus learned to lay bis course by u star which he has never seen to dig by the divin ing rod for springs which lie may never reach. In saving tills, I point lo that which will moke your study heroic. For I say tC you In all sad nCSS of conviction that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. only when you have worked alone when you have (ell around you g black gulf of Solitude more Isolating than that which surrounds the dying man, and in hope and iii despair have trusted lo your own unshaken will then only will you have achieved. ThUS only CSC you gala the secret isolated Joy Of the thinker, who knows that, a hundred years after he is (lend and forgotten, men who never heard of him win be moving to the measure of his thought the subtle rapture of n postponed power, which the world knows not because It has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. And If I Ills joy should not be yours siill It Is only thus ibat you can know Hint you have done what it lay In you to do can say that you have lived, mid be ready for the end. Prom Collected l egal Papers by Oliver Wendell Holmes. Did you ever stop to think of the magic that lurk:-, in the pleasin' face? Hain't you seen it disguise the tragic that comes to us once in a while? . . . Why, it even disarms suspicion, it comforts an' reassures, an there's many a painful condition, that we know it speedi ly cures. . . . The baby smiles at her kitten, in a minnit it starts to purr. . . . The feller is seldom bitten that smiler at the angry cur. I don't know how to explain it, this joy in life's stern chase, but it's worth a world to obtain it, the wealth of a smilin' face. . . . I s'pose there's some that ignore it. an' some that's inclined to scoff these fellers that never have worn it, the smile that can never come off. But I know I'm right in insistin', which I've knowed fer a long, long while, that there simply ain'l no resistin' the meltin' power of a smile. Wll. CELEBRATE FOURTH BY PICNIC AT COYOTE ?
