Lc9$GQ Vain Hopes Hopes that have their fulfillment in the praise and glory that human power can corner more often find disappointment than success. The heart that is fixed and turned to the emulation of the crowd often dies from bitterness and despair. The valley of life is filled with all types of humanity; the greater part of which is employed in seeking its own goal, fhe work is as varied as the Mowers in the fields and the interest is diversified accordingly. He who toils and labors, dedi- cating his labors to the promise of happiness in accumulation of the praise of the world is little concerned with the individual. Lines of similarity, groups belonging to the same profession hands who work in the same path of industry are attracted to their own so thus the engineer is elated with the success of Ins brother engineer; the scientist acclaims the new discovery of another, the doctor is interested in the use of a new serum recently discovered and tested. Each in his own sphere is interested only in the work that has some definite bearing on his own life and they little care for the outside world. The toil has been heavy on those whose work brought them great success, but their names are soon forgotten in the history of the accomplishment. The heroes have died unwept, unknown and unsung. The dare devils and sensation seekers have been laughed at in their conquest for glory. Work, on the other hand that brings with it successful accomplishments beneficial to humanity is done quietly and modestly. It is not difficult to appraise a man at his true value when one observes the motives for which he gives his time. If it is for fame and praise the world soon knows: it is kept alive bv the doer. If it is for the performance of duty, real accomplishment, beneficial work, one knows only when the end is accomplished. The truth is that the men who have performed the greatest work, have contributed to the world and have benefited most those who live around them, are usually the most reticent and modest. They are annoyed by the acclamation of the world; they are content to remain unknown, and prefer to retire from the curious and inconsiderate people who view them as spectacles. For fame is very narrow in extent and of short remembrance when it comes from human hands. With restlessness and solicitude have many men desired this fleeting glory. They have diverged from the path that might afford real happiness and pleasures to become puppets of fame and publicity. The world, in reality, cares little what one man does, with the press and radio, many a person still lives in total ignorance of what is going on around him. He is so taken up with his own work that he has little time to leisure to study any fame except that which directly comes within the narrow limits of his own circle and concerns his own pursuit and occupation. It is only when a man has his eyes and heart set on higher hopes than a bit of fame and glory that he receives a just and fitting reward for his labor in the vineyard of life. The curious will stare at the applaud of the hero of the day, but it is only a day that he remains in their memory. Fame in itself is disatisfying for the desire of it brings trouble which could otherwise be avoided. Lttle pleasure accompanies the attainment of fame. Thus hopes for fame are most in vain.
