CRAVING TO CREATE,

**Mental adventure' is probably the highest possible form of human enjoyment. The arist and the man

of science, pursuing their trails in fields of fancy or the interrogation of "Nature, feel the joy of the hunter. The craving to create is universal, and the creative power is a valuable pogisarion for the man of affairs as well as the prime faculty of the artist. Creative orgy can be utilized in business or trade, and imagination is at the basis of all constructive - enter prise. Hence the constant exercise of perception and speculation braces and invigorates the mind, affords a peren- nial satisfaction, and hinders, the aavaults of boredom.

The real source of the tedium of life is within us. External factors are merely contributive. We must sock the primary caure in naexercised meatal aptitude. Every man can be interested in something that will serve. as an antidote to tedium andapten- eing of spirit.-John London's. Weekly.
