Success - In the blood There are
men whom fate can never keep down
they march jauntily forward, and
take by divine right the best OF every
thing that earth affords. But their
success is not attained by the Samuel |
Smiles-Connecticut policy. They do |
not lie In wait. nor scheme, nor rawn,
nor seek to adapt their sails to catch |
the breeze OF popular favor. Still, they |
are ever alert and alive to any good |
that may come their way, and when |
II comes they simply appropriate It,
and tarrying not, move steadil, on.
Good health! Whenever you &c out
of doors, draw the chin in, carry the
crown OF the head high, and fill the
lungs to the utmost; drink In the sun
shine; greet your friends with smile.
and put your soul into every hand
clasp. Do not fear being misunder-
stood; and never waste minute
thinking about your enemies. Try to
fix firmly in your mind what you
would like to do, and then without
violence OF direction you will move
straight to the goal. Fear is the rock
on which we split. and hate is the
shoal on which many barque is
stranded. When We are fearful, the
judgment is as unreliable as the com
pass of ship whose hold is full OF
iron ore; when we hate we have I'M
shipped the rudder; and If we stop
TO mediate on what the gossips say,
we have allowed hawser to befoul
the screw. Keep your mind on the
great and splendid thing you would
like to do; and then, as the days go
gliding by, you will find yourself I'M
consciously seizing upon the oppor-
tunities that are required for the full
flllment cI your desire. just as the
coral insect takes from the running

useful person you desire TO be, and
the thought you hold is hourly trans

/ think Is often better than to do. Pre-
serve a right mental attitude-the atti-
tude OF courage. frankness and good
cheer. To think rightly is to create.
/ Darwin and Spencer have told us that
this Is the method of creation. Each
animal has evolved the parts it need
ed and desired The horse is fleet be-
cause he wishes to be; the bird flies
because II desires TO; the duck has a
web foot because II desires to swim
All things come through desire, and
every sincere prayer is answered We
become like that on which our hearts
are fixed. Many people know this, bu;
they do not know it thoroughly enough
so that IL shapes their lives. We want
friends. so we scheme and chase cross
lots after strong people. and lie in wait
for good folks-or alleged good folks
hoping to attach ourselves to them
The only way TO secure friends is to
be one. And before you are fit foI
friendship you must be able to dc
without 1t. That is to say. you mus;
have sufficient self-reliance to take
care of yourself, and then out oil
the surplus of your energy you can dc
for others. The man who Graves
friendship, and yet cesires self-cen-
tered spirit more, will never lack fol-
friends. II you have friends, cultivate
solicitude instead OF society. Drinl

come to you that you are no mer'
interloper between earth and sky; bu
that you are necessary particle o
