Alexandria Modern City.
Alexandria, founded by tbe world
conqueror. Alexander the Great, is aa
Egyptian city that Is eager to lose Its
connection with the far away past and
become completely modernised. Fate
favors this ambition, for the woo
den
that Cleopatra
knew have
been eaten by fire or rwept away by
toe sea. Alexandria Is a d ty o f trade
X and fashion, dominated by prosperous
Buropenn* too deeply absorbed In the
atoek exchange to be even.vaguely In
terested in tbe romantic side o f their
d ty .
Except for a few visitors who have
reed a little history and are wildly In
quisitive regarding Cleopatra's palace
and Pompey'* pillar, the ruins o f A l
exandria rest peacefully, unphoto
graphed and unchlpped by souvenir
hunters. One thing against the popu
larity of Alexandria’s rnln* Is their
scantiness. For the most part, they
consist of a few carved stones and
"sites"

Would things slack up a little If you

Achievement Follows Work.
A reasoning age demands respect
fo r the person of others no matter
it the sex or eocial station. It*a
for a man to Imagine that be la
riy destined to rank above hla
Tou may be on tbe road to
r, but that will result from fitness
rather than from any endowment of
Glvtaity. The old Idea that nature be
stows exceptional gifts upon certain
Individuals Is pretty tnurh flctloo. It's
tales for the gifted but rather hard on
th e common, ordinary chap. But ex
perience shows that achievement Is a
o f work and not of gift. The
Is dally awarding prises to those
Rare to toll to the limit, fo r the
o f winning place. Men who rise
t o remain leaders are those who fit
res to bold high station.

One Day Lata.
Tbe women’s clnb o f the little town
where I worked In a grocery «tore near
the depot had arranged for a well-
known speaker to give an address In
our theater one evening. The evening
arrived, the hall was crowded, but no
speaker appeared, and everyone was
disappointed. The following evening
Just after the train came In a stranger
appeared in the store and asked where
Mr. -------- was to speak that night
I replied that he was to have spoken
the night before, but added, “Tbe big
boob didn’t come.” Just then one o f
the leading women o f the town came
In and recognised the man as the
speaker who had been expected the
night before. Needless to say, I soon
found work In the hack o f the store
which needed Immediate attention.
