For instance, you have one good brood mare, and you
take a day off in the middle of harvest time ana escort saiu
mare ten miles through the heat and dust, to the best stal
lion in the county. And you pay $Zb lor your visit.
Indue time, if you are lucky, there comes a colt, and you
about live with that colt.
And you give it the best of care, and break it to the hal
ter, and coddle the mare all through the work season on
its account.
And the colt grows and promises to be a great big nne

And when that colt is about a year and a half old some
cold evening it doesn't come up to the barn from the wood

look and discover said colt in the bottom of a canyon with
a 60-foot log on top f it.-

SUCCESS. -
The crown of achievement looks best at a distance.
Without the load-star of success our .efforts would squan
der themselves in pleasures, and the memory of these is
one of wasted davs.
To youth, therefore, we must preach the sermon of sue-1 ay He

by the world and'the glory thereof, the lives of men, who
have succeeded, who are envied, respected, praised ; and j mustered out soon
we must encourage the young to go and do likewise if
they can. And then you can do anything. The word
"impossible" does not come into a man's dictionary until
he is thirty.-
Now, of course, this is most salutary. But if we look at
success a little closer, perhaps we may see that this man's
good fortune was the gift of the merest chance, that this
other's success was attained by cheating from a cheating
wrorld, that a third has risen to eminence on the fallen bo
dies of others who were better than himself. Perhaps we
may have to look for merit where failure is. Now, of
course, this is not so encouraging, but perhaps it is true.
But after all is said and done there is some merit in suc
cess, taken not perhaps in individual instances, but "in
the lump." And success although it is not a hall-mark

pains we have paid for it. It is Dead Sea fruit, with a
fair outside, but a heart of aches. In certain dyspeptic
moments this thought comes to all those who have got
what they wanted ;but that is not because the efforts which
lead to succfess have been thrown away, not because the
erood is not worth winning, but "because men crew tired.
because success cones when life itself is failing, when
hope no longer comes as blossomed and as miraculously
as spring time, but when the fires of life are buring low
and when they cannot, with all the stirring we can give
them, keep the approaching winter of death at bay. Were
it not so, the very dissatisfaction with success would be its
redeeming feature. Were a man to be satisfied with the
first small triumph, the first trivial achievement, what
would become of him?
It is not intended that success should lead to the folding
of the hands in sleep ; and it is because achievements done
look petty that we are urged on to others which loom in
the future larger than these. This noble discontent mak
es for progress." We have got from the past triumph all
we could ; we have got all the education, all the strength,
all the skill that directed effort, which did not end in de
spair, could give us, and we are equipped for a struggle
on. a higher plane for a nobler object; and we have the
