trees. He came to a hickory tree. Now, anyone who has never been in the country does not know what a hard wood the hickory is. The boy surveyed the tree a moment, then his dull axe. He started chopping on the tree with a fixed air of determination. By the way, some of our most gritty people are from the country. Inquire into the lives of our educators and wealthy business men of today. Did they come from the city or country? Nine-tenths of them were reared in the country. Well, to return to this boy. He kept on chop- ping with a dogged perserverance. There was an unseen spec- tator standing behind a brush pile. He was intently watching the boy, who was hot and tired, but still working away. Final- ly the tree fell, he had accomplished his aim. He had gone the forty miles. The spectator, a middle-aged man, stepped from behind the brush. He introduced himself as owner of a de- partment store in a near-by town, and asked the boy if he would accept a position in his store. He said this was the very boy for which he was hunting, one that would stay with his job. Now this was just what the boy was longing for, an op- portunity to earn money enough to put him through school the next winter. He gladly accepted the offer and was soon a clerk in the store. In a. short time he was promoted and his salary raised. He was economical and saved enough to pay his tuition in school. He worked in the store his spare time. By the time he had finished school he was holding a high po- sition. Later he bought stock and started in business for himself. His education enabled him to manage his business well. He gradually climbed the ladder. He is now owner of one of New York 's largest department stores. He has again gone the full journey, fortv miles.. Does it pay to finish what you start? Yes, get the habit, it always pays. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. By Olive Vifatson, 'l7. 55
