Beatty, president of the Cenadlan Pacific Railway, went a few days ago for the foundation of an in- tensely interesting talk to tbe boys of Shawbehlee Boys' Farm and Train- ing School In partioular, but in reality to all Canadian boys. "When 1 was thirteen yea ot ase. &nd,had finished one year's course in a pre nxinent school in Toronto," said. Mr. Beatty, "my parents reeelved are• port, whicei, without bragging, I think I may ray was the worst report ever wr•Itteaa about a boy. Wbees this report was received it was accost -span - led by a note that in the opinion of the prieeipal of thait school it would get along fairly well, if I did .not return," Tho very fleet words of encourage - meat he received came from a teacher nen iii new school to Vila en t by his parents, "He told me that some day it 1 worked hard I might amount to aonlethieg, whidv was news to me— I had never heard it before.

Beatty, "will ever regret the time you have. spent in xnaatering things which ap- pear hard or curing yourselves of habits whiqu you have inherited or which you have acquired. The older YOU grow the more year will realize the act'that num even inUlla young coun- try' are lighting for a living, that cone- petition is keen and mesa more numer- ous than good positions. "You will be told that your object In life is to bee. success, and that la true, because without ambition to a euecees no man goes very far. But success dose not necessarily mean the amass- ing of money or the obtaiatng of high. position, A Dian may be a &access ire the truest sense ot the term if die has moderate means, is charitable and helpful to meters, and, above all, re- tains bis own self-respect, which in- spires the respect of others, quite re- gardless of *tether he is the possessor of money or without It." Some of the things that Mr. Beatty emphasized as necess•; xy to attain enc- eess were. good health, honesty, physi- eel courage, esspecielly moral courage, far nearer than alesical, and neodeety and oourtes"y almost synonymous threes.

Cause of ural ` —Must be Treated Through the Blood. Neuralgia is the cry of the nerves for more and better blood, It means that the nerves are b !fig starved, Dike every other pert of the body the nerves receive their nourishmm ent through the blood. There is therefore no doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will prove beneecial even in extreme VMS ot neuralgia.- These pills increase and enrich the blood supply, carrying to the nerves the elements they need thus driving away the sharp, tortur ingpains which nearly drive the suf- ferer-G1d. The benefit given. by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the ease of Miss Carrie Y. Fletcher, Ravenecliffe, Ont., who says: --"As the result of a severe wetting 1 got while out in a rain storm, I was attae ked with neuralgia, from which 1 suffered greatly, and which kept me awake night after night, Al- though thepain diminished somewhat, I begaia to suffer in other ways. ldy appetite was poor; I got thin and had no energy; Indeed, 1 was becoming a wreck of my fernier &elf. 1 was ad vlsed to " trY Dr, iirllllaens Plil'k Pllls, and I am more than glad that I fol- lowed the advise, for they hthve re - ,Stored rile to my old time strength, I calling recommend the pills too highly diad hone other persons in poor b,ealtar will give them a fair freak'" You can get these pills tarouglr any dealer lu medicine or by snail post- paid at 50 carats a box or :six boxes for $a.b0 from Thr Dr Vlillfams" Mg ci 1e Co., Brockville, Ont.

Where the Piano failed. Ifo .I had been sent to a certain house to tune the piano.

"It was," she stated, "no better than before." The hapless tuner received a severe reprimand from his employer, and then was sent out to make another trip. Arriving at the house, be again examined the tnstnnment, and clearly there was nothing the matter with it. This time he told the lady so, "Yes,» she admitted, "it does sem all right—doesn't it?—when you play ou it; but as soon as I begin to sing it gets- out of tune."

How often we see a big vulgar, loud -mouthed, bragging bully complete- ly cowed by a smile and a few gentle, courteous words from a sweet woman. A smile is the strongest possible wea- pon in the battle of life. It conquers the boorish and the disgruntled; it lifts the shadows, and brings light where before all was darkness. I+t Is all the time winning new friends, new ousrtomers, mew businese, new oppor- tunities., It is a tremendous asset in the business world; for every one likes tbe genial, cheery, smiling man or wo- man, who hats- a kind word for every - ane. The man wuto attracts business to -day must have pleasing manners. Ile must be a good mixer, friendly to everybody, •withthe sort of smile that is born of a kind heart and the good will spirit -that wishes well to all, The value of a smile of that sort, which is not a mere parting of the lips, but a sh.izning of the whole face, can- not be estimated; it -is beyond price.
