Getting There First.

The Confederate General Forrest
was one of the greatest cavalry Of
fcers of his time, In battle he was
almost invariably successful Oue
day G-neral Robert E Lee said To
Forrest: Forrest, what is tn,
secret ofyour success anyway"
"Well, replied Forrest, you see,
Lee, l always make it altusines> to
get there fu'st."
Aud 10 Gen FORESTS reply lies
the secret of success in every WALL
of life. 1t is not sufficient to get
there, but We must get there tu'st,
What is true of success in war IS
true in politics, in the arts, in
science, in society, in business, The
young man or the old man, for that
matter, who understands the art of
getting there fu'st will be the win
ner. The sermon l have preached
for years, one which appliesto all
trades and professions, to all oc-
cupations, is:
Arm yourself with a stainless 10
tegrity; let loose the heaven born
gifts of genius and of ambition, and
a resolution that courts but never
counts the heaviest odds; begin on
the basis of cash, even if you have
to start with a tack-hammer; al
most unawdres it will become a
triphammer, doubling and trebhng
every year with the relentless en-
ergy of circular saw. Then sue
cess will come-not all bright sun
shine, but here and there deep,
black shadows that will search you
to the heart, agonies that will
drive the blade through the quick
into the marrow up to the hilt; but
pluck and patience and neral cour'
age will always win, and the sur
will shine again and final triumph
alIoyed, it may be, with bitter dreg'
will come solid decisive and en-

Life! Life! What it is none can
tell What it amounts to we are
quite familiar with We are here
without knowing it, and we pass
away when least expecting it. We
by instinct" perhaps, mourn for
those who have passed beyond
earthly troubles, when, in fact, we
should have been educated to be-
lieve that they are happier than
we, and hence rejoice at their good
fortune. But alas for custom! We
mourn and give tears to the tomb,
when we should have sympathy for
those whom We know are in need of
our care on earth. Our biers are sur
rounded by wreathes of beautiful
flowers; gems of floral elegance are
placed over the cold heart, when
perhaps words Of love in life would
have prolonged our stay here and
made US better and happier Queer
customs! We mourn for the dead,
but pay little heed to the living.
We curse misfortunes and forget to
be thankful for the joys and bless
inps of life. But why try to ana.
yze that which really is but of short
duration, anyway?
