I FOUND the old man sitting by the
roadside of an English country by
way breaking stones to be used In
keeping the road in condition. I had
seen him frequently as I passed to
and fro to the village, but today I
stopped a while to rest after my long
walk nnd to talk to him.
He had been a stone-breaker all his
life, and he took not a little pride in
the fact that the smooth level road
over which I had traveled owed much
to his labors. Great piles of rough
stone lay along the highway piles
that suggested unending toil to me,
but he seemed to regard them only as
an opportunity.
I took op one of the hammers that
lay on the ground and tried my hand
at the work with rather ill success.
A few fragments were splintered from
the rock, but it did not break. I was
hitting too vigorously, he suld: I was
expecting to accomplish with one hard
blow what It would take a half dozen
or more to do ; I wanted results im
mediately. "Time and patience," he said, "time
and patience, and the stones finally
yield, and the plies of broken stone
grow." ,
I have thought of his philosophy I
often since. Impulsive youth finds It , used to a litt,e hlher priried

the experiment falls in our first at

or make the sale, or uccompllsh th?
task, the first time we hit It an Intel
lectual blow, we have a tendency to
throw down the hammer and say that
the thing is too much for us. Most
of us need a little more persistence.
When I have worked with a man
or a task or a problem for a long time
and have got nowhere, when dis
couragement is about to overwhelm
me, I often think of the old English
man sitting by the roadside quietly
and persistently hammering at the
heavy stones. "Time and patience,
time nnd patience, and the stones fi
nally yield," he said, and I take cour
age as I recall him. If we work long
enough at a thing, if we refuse to give
up, we are likely to win.

They have always had a reputation

The Kelly tires of today are thte
finest that Kelly has ever built.
They are stronger, sturdier, will
stand more punishment and give
more mileaKe than the tires upon
which Kelly reputation wits built.

the costs no more than other tires
which have never borne the Kelly

The people of the Northwest were
dismayed Wednesday afternoon, July
2 3, when they heard of, the dis
aster which had overtaken the great
Pacific International Live Stock Ex
position . Its magnificent building
in North Portland, Oregon, caught
fire from a burning shingle mill. and
in a half hour was reduced to ashes.
This splendid plant, the largest and
most conveniently arranged and
equipped structure of Its kind in the
world It covered overlO acresof land.
It cost approximately $500,000. How
ever, tlwas insuredfor about $350,000
and general manager, O. M. Plummer
states positively that the Exposition
will be held November 1 to 8, Inclu
sive, without fail, and that already
assurances are coming from every
quarter of the compass of aid and
entries of livestock. He says:
...."The Exposition will be bigger and
better than ever. Naturally, all our i
plans have not been completed, but we
expect to rebuild and work will be
commenced at once. The Pacific In
ternational Live Stock Exposition is
so solidly founded and so important
an institution that even a great blow
such as this cannot halt its growth
and progress."
The new building which will take
the place of the one just destroyed
will follow the same plan, so ad
mirably did that plan prove to be.
The amphitheatre probably will be
made somewhat larger, but the gen
eral construction will be the same as
before. It seems that it cannot be
bettered.
