''The complete development Of al the
powers OF tie individual and their exercise
for the betterment of his fellow men will
lead one toward success" said Arthur
Rodgers, the lawyer.
Success in any particular line or pro-
fesson, l take it, can hardly be dis
tinguished as the most important success.
but rather as an instance of ths exercise OF
the individuals abilities along that certain
line.
There can be no question. however. that
the man is successful who, working with
the full development of his powers. bends
his efforts for the good and welfare OF his
neighbors.
But / don't think it right to develop
some powers at the expense Of tie others.
] don't believe in sitting at the temple and
dreaming religious Dreams no more than l
believe in the money-changerS sitting at the
counter and measuring all the world by
dollars and coupons.
''Of course there are great differences in
the faculties and abilities OF different men.
but ! think it is true that those faculties
which are exercised especially for the
fullest developmentOf the individual and at
the same time are of the greatest benefit to
his fellow men bring greater wealth of
happiness-in q word, make a man more
nearly suceessful-than do the exercise OF
those faculties which are more Immediately
selfish or extremely impractical"

WILLIAM GREER HARRISON.

IF. at the close of ones life. one feels
that he has done his duty to his family, his
neighbors. his country and himself, one has
been successful
"a think that's about it in nutshell"
said William Greer Harrison, the under
writer and president of the Olympic Club
1T isn't wealth or real estate that makes
a man successful. They cut 10 figure in my
estimate of success.
''And the ideal that every one should
keep before them is:
supreme usefulness In the world.
That's about the right thing, isn't it?
Be useful to others besides yourself. Don't
be selfish Dent do everything with an
eye to your own personal benefit / really
believe that fair gauge of any mans sue
cess can be found in the measure Of useful
ness his life has been to the world.
And the man who has been most useful
has been NEST successful. That's clear
way to put 1t. | think, and the true way.
Let a young man ask himself as be
starts out in life, Where can be of the
greatest service?
That's the grand question. II 1t is
answered properly it will lead to success
surely and certainly"

CHARLOTTE PERKINS STETSON

"To define success, beyond mere syn
onyms. requires definite knowledge of
purpose" said Charlotte Perkins Stetson.
the lecturer and writer on social reform.
Success in what?
Success in life, you say. And what is
'life'-this life by which we mean human
action and experience-what is it for?
I'VE must know that before we can
measure success.
zone long look at the great spectacular
play, The mighty transformation scene of
evolution, and our question is answered.
The purpose of life is racial develop
ment So far as reason goes, backed fairly
well by revelation, the unfailing trend of
this moving universe is toward higher and
higher forms Of life.
"Our race is no exception. Humanity, In
its existing types, shows as wide diverge nee
as lies between the ant and the elephant
humanity, from savage to civilian, shows as
vast development as separates that savage
from the mOnad.
Success for the race in any given age
means rs much improvement as is possible
in that time. If we improve We succeed.
If we do not we fail. And for the indi-
yidual-What is individual success?
''Sueh individual development as is pos
sible 10 you. and. much more important,
such contribution as you can make to the
general development.
For instance Froebel, In giving to the
world such wonderful uplift In the great
function of education, was more successful
than II he had attained for himself the
wisdom of Solomon.
FLORENCE Nightingale was a successful
woman, for she lifted The grade of nuTsing
in the civilized world.
whoever has so lived that bis or her
voluntary effort has advanced our race limit,
or brought up the average. he or she is sue
cessful.
"Of course, like every other thing IN life.
success is relative. A man may be a sue
cessful burglar, a successful assassin. sue
ceSsful getter Of money. but we are not
speaking of freaks and abnormities.
Life is growth, and success In life means
more and mere of growth.
Diseased and emorbd phases of that
growth are % part of success.
Attainment of crowns, thrones, chairs,
benches and other honors are no PROOF OF
success: The most valuable people we
have, the most triumphanily successful,
have rarely met with these rewards.
"But. as usual. the popular mind is full Of
error on the subject.
I'VE have allowed the immediate achieve
meDts In our little games of business and
society or in popular literature and art TO
stand for real success.
There is no question Of the local success
in these cases; tie belle Of the season or the
richest man ia town is undoubtedly n sue
cess; but 50 Is winner at whist or fiddle
diWinks.
Real success is in real life; and real life
means growing. gaining as people. build
ing into the race those qualities that are
permanent and neutrality-suspicious. qualities
that make US stronger, wiser. better. morn

DIR. McNUTT.

ITO succeed; that is success" said DR..
w. f. McNutt And nothing succeeds
like success.
Seriously, though. / suppose the success
full man is the one who does better in life
than the average. Say hundred men all
start out in life together. A pretty big per-
centage of them will be failures. Some will
make living and pay their debts. but you
can hardly call that success.
Jay Gould was successful man in one
sense; in another sense he wasn't. Per-
haps in the broader and wider sense lie
wasn't.
yet every man must choose his own ideal
and strive manfully to attain it. l suppose
in all his life Jay Gould never had another
ambition than that of obtaining wealth.
But there is higher success than that of
money getting.
ut is the success OF establishing char
acter and a position in the world among
thoughtful and sell-respectlng men.
The young man ought to say first of all /:
III esta blish reputation for respecta-
bility. then a reputation in my profession
Put the two together and you have the
highest form of success, the ideal success.

A TRICKY BOOKSELLER.
Caravan, the Sport, Refuses to Pay
Winning Tickets.

Winning Tickets.
A pretty triangular. or rather quadrangular
fight was started in the Justices Court yes
terday by Attorney c. j. Hoge. who sues
p F. Caravan, BOOKSELLER at 19h Stockton
street, for $110 held by the latter as stake
holder.
Canavan, who, when he does not rope in
the gulIible public TO buy pools in his Stock
ton-street place. performs like service on
his coursng grounds at Ocean View, re-
fuses to pay the money due to holders of
what are known in the sporting world as
combination tickets purchased IN his pool
rooms.
These combinations we're only to win
when Goddard, Dawson and Plimmer won
their fights.
OF course the probability was that at
least one of these pugilists would be de-
feated, and the odds were in favor OF the
p0olseller.
But strange things happen in the betting
three fighters mentioned in Caravans COM
binati6n all came out as vctors.
Losing bet is one thing, but paying the
losses is another, and the willy BOOKSELLER
concluded, since his business Is Legitimate
anyhow. and money invested by suckers
is his regular per4G!ste. he would refuse to
pay the lucky combination winners aud
defy them TO do their worst.
Hence the suit brought yesterday, which
Is likely to be followed by others, because
when Caravan issued these tickets, which
have never been cashed. he had two part
ners, who since have separated from him,
aud who, if they are held responsible for
the money due. will make it warm for the
owner OF the Ocean View cOnrsing grounds.

c. d. ROBINSON.

"What made Nancy Hanks trot a mile In
2:O42" said c. D. Robinson, the artist.
when you tell me that I'll tell you what
success is.
But she got there. and that is success
the ability to get there.
Every man In the world of common in
telligenee is genius. but only about one in
every thousand ever finds out his true bent.
LET a man know what he is best fitted
for. Let him do that and nothing else and
he viii succeed. ! am sure of it.
1.-THE trouble is that the turmoil and
struggle of life turn most men from the
true direction. Edison, it is said, started in
life as a machinist. lie made only an In
different one; one day he got the idea lie could
do better in electricity. People laughed at
him and told him TO stick TO his trade.
HE followed his natural pTomptings and
not their advice To-day they call him
Edison the wizard. He found his natural
bent. Thousands of men never do.
Napoleon. returning from Egypt. dis
coursed with the savants They we're dis
believers and said there was no God. Said
Napoleon:
Gentlemen. tell me who placed that star
there in the heavens?'
"Bet they didn't tell him, because they
couldn't.
And this is true, whoever 1t was planted
the stars in the heavens planted also in
each mans breast the guiding tar which If
followed will lead 10 success surely.
Another thing: a man can't be success
full unless he has set purpose ahead and
sticks to that purpose In spite of every
hardship. in spite of misery. poverty, dis
grace; always going toward that end no
matter what occurs.
'And although men never reach that
bright star that is their ideal, they get 50
far ahead OF those who have no fixed pur-
pose that they are looked upon as the sue
cessful ones.
''But after you've got there? Then what?
When Nancy Hanks had made her fast
mile what did she get?
"A big blow out, sweating, straining,
some hay and oats But the hay and oats
were no better than other people get.
what did Gould get but his bed and
board and clothes? They were a little bet
ter, perhaps, but only little, not enough

And that's the way IL is. When the
successful man gets 10 the top of the
mountain he finds it very chilly there.

"Why?
because they can't help 1t. The power
that puts the star above them Iuts the
power In them to work and work and work
so that they Will get there and be examples
to other men OF what is possible when one
finds his true bent.

JULIUS LUDIVECI.

''The reason more men are not successful
is tina. they don't stick to one thing" said
Julius LudOvic, The portrait painter.
"A man should select what nature has
best fitted him for and then stick to that
one thing through thick and thin. Then
he'll be successful.
ITS this changing about from one thing
TO the other that makes it impossible for
many men to succeed. And then but few
men ever get into the occupation in life that
fits them best. When they do, and they
bring energy and perseverance, and hard
work to the task they generally succeed.
Il know most people think wealth Is the
main thing. but don't believe that Wealth
doesn't bring happiness. 1t doesn't bring
tile keen enjoyment that comes with success
from having done something, having Gre
ated something that is beautiful or useful
and is aDpreeia ted by men.
And good name is better than all 1t

of his fellOw-men, though he win word of
wealth.

direction brings success"

'But my work is so unsteady that

able to do that if he's going TO be called a

II don't know whether Jay Gould was
success. He might have thought so, but
other people didn't. | guess money alone
won't make success. A mans got TO have
good health. That's everything. If man
is sickly you can't call him success in

of the girls is in dry-goods store, so we

ARCHBISHOP RIORDAN.

THAT is not question that should be
put to a man so hurriedy aud an answer
expected at once." said tho Most Rev. Pat
rick ". RiOrdan, Archbishop of the Roman
Catholic diocese. in rather a remoI stratiye
tone.
But the answer came to him in a moment.
The man who dies as God wants him to
die is successful" said he. "The definition
ought to be a concrete one rather than an
abstraction. And it ought to be something
tangible. that every one can grasp.
Il think that is the true test Of success In
this life. No man, no matter how high he
reaches in worldly gores and attachments,
will be successful unless he dies as God
would have him die. And such a man is
successful whatever may have been his
worldly fortune. He may be poor or rich
on earth, weak or powerful The test Is
when he passes into the presence Of his
Maker
This is the end that all should keep in
view. So mold your thoughts and actions
throughout life that when death comes you
will be ready for II, knowing that you de-
serve a reward in the next life and being
sure OF getting IT,"
