Unsought they come their way, and many times they are not even appreciated, and the chances are squundered. There are others int whose lives there never seems to have fitted an opportunity. Life, for them, has been full of ciouds and disappointment. Born to struggle, they have struggled to the end. Perhaps it those who squandered their chances had taken advartage of a few they could have climbed high in the worlds achievementis themselves, and put a chanee in the way of the other fellow whose heart is so full but whose world is so barren. But it is strange that there is still much of the dog in the manger attitude in human nature The man with a variety of chances neither want them himseif, nor wants anyone else to have them -he would rather squander them. e There is another type. The person who has sow chances or only half a chance, but mukes iue best of it. The rift in the cloud is his chance, and he grips it. He& bzlieves in Emersons “Hitch your wagon to a star’’ theory. Volumes could be written abou® those who have half a chance or just a few chances. Juanito was one of them. He lived in a low thatched hut in a niche of the hills. His parents were old and he knew that his salvation depended upon his attending school. He had learned all there was to learn in the rural school, and now he was up against it. Juanito’s family lived a lone distance from town, the boy’s CHRISTIANSTED., V. 1. 108 A, THURSDAY! 3rp JUNE 1920 . ) clothes were seanty, he had no shoes, but the school was there, that was his chance, ®he musts grip it. ¥ First he must ' con.rive away of getting some shoes, and it oceurred to him that folks in % town needed grass for their horses, so | Juanito began carryinz bundies of grass ' to town on his head, and selling them | at a fair vrice. f'inally he had enough | saved up with which to buy a pairo | shoes, and so the greatest difficuity of | all was surmounted in connection with | Juanito’s school life, 3 it was a long'tramp back and forth | from school every+day, but the boy with | tne fine, frank, open countenance didn’t | mind any such inconveniences—all he i was atfter was ap education. One day | the boy fainted in school, and then it | was discovered that he had started from l home without any breakfast (there are hundreds wiio do that everyday in Porio * Rvicvj. The boy naa won the admiration | and love of his teacher and many of his I schoolmates, so from then on there was | always a cup of coffee waiting for the | boy with a half a chance. Presently ! Juanito found big chances coming his | way, and by the time he was through high school a scholarship was awaiting | and he was given an educaiton in the States and which, has made him one of the prominent andd successful men of | his country. | There are hundreds like Juanito, who i have but half a chance, and yet by per- | sistence, determination and optimism, | they grasp it, nd develop it into some- | thing great. Its all in the valuation of | the chance. ‘They come to each life for ! some good purposc.
