THE MIRROR EULOGY TO THE WORLD'S GREATEST MAN (Century Magazine) Here lies the body of Every Man who died on any day in any months of any year B.C. or A.D., aged three-score years and ten. During his sojourn on this earth what follows is to be recorded of him. He early came to know a great fear and a great love. And the love was always sufficient to calm the fear. Later on, although he quickly learn- ed what difficulty was and disappoint- ment, and unkindness, yet the whole world was illumined by a love of life, and troubles were soon forgotten. He had great hopes and grand am- bitions. But the greatest' and grand- est of these were always hidden in the deeps of his own soul. He grew up and took his among his fellows. He was cruel sometimes, hateful sometimes, dishonest often. Often, too, he hurt those who loved him. On the other hand, he loved deeply and truly; sacrificed himself On occasion unflinchingly, and, al- though no man ever saw him so do- ing, still it is true that, so often as he transgressed knowingly, just so often did he go out into the night and weep bitterly. He had many friends. Yet no one ever really knew him, and more and more as he went on he realized how alone he was. And, later, how good it was that this was so. He began to look on life as one who stood apart. His fellows said he was growing old. But he knew otherwise; for he was learning that age and anger and cruelty and hatefulness and eating and drinking are the things that are seen. And that hope ang joy and grand ambition and the seventh heaven and unspeakable things are the things that are not seen, And, in thé end, he learned that the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. And so he died. But he rose again, place Several years ago Lord Clonmel brought to this country a string of race horses, and at the close of the season Phil Dwyer gave a banquet in his honor. Sheriff Tom Dunn of New York was called upon for a speech. "Faith and this is the wonderful country!" said Dunn. "I was a poor Irish lad and me dear old mother, God rest héf soul, hardly had pennies en- ough to bring me over. And here I am tonight sitting cheek by jowl with Lord Clonmel himself! Why, me friends, back in the old Tipperary days I couldn't get near enough to his lordship to hit him with a shotgun!" If you put a little loving into all the work you do, And 2 little bit of gladness, and a lit- tle bit of you, And a little bit of sweetness, and a little bit of song Not a day will be too tedious, not a day wil] be too long.

DON'T QUIT When things go wrong, as they some- times will, When the road you're trudging seems al] up hill, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must--but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up, though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man. Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the vic- tor's cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out-- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you -- are, It may be near when it seems afar; And you never can tell how close you're hardest hit-- It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
