Nothing Like Success.

"There is nothing said lit
tie Mr.. Barkingdale, who was
jumping at the top hook in the
hat rack with his new silk hat
there is nothing he pan
ted, with another desperate
Jump, succeeds" sand up he
went again like and he
made a jump that a kangaroo
would have envied like, he
shouted, as he slapped his hat
fairly over the hook hung on
to the brim just a second too
long, tore it clear off, pulled the
hook through the side of his
hat, and then, as the whole hat
rack came over on top of him
and he thrust his thrrogh the
mirror, in the middle of it, he
roared in desperate and legiti
mate conclusion-''s success. -
And all the rest of the guests see
med TO think that way, too, for
the enthusiasm was tremendous.
