islature of Tennessee elected him to
the United States senate, and reelected
him again and again, until he died while
occupying that position.
In 1884 fernando D. Money was de.
feated for congress in Mississippi. Ten
years later he was elected to the sen.
ate and reelected to that position by the
legislature of Mississippi. That was
because he never wavered in his aspira.
tons and ambitions.
In 1890 John c. Spooner was defeated
for the senate by the Wisconsin legis.
lature. In 1896 he was elected to the
senate, and is now serving in that body.
and occupying important positions in
the leading committees. He is also re.
garded as one of the strongest and most
influential orators of the senate. His
success resulted from six years of con.
tinuous effort and fervent hope.
In 1894 Senator German, of Maryland,
was repudiated by his party, and his
term in the senate closed. 1t was sup
posed that that was the last of Cor
man. But to-day he is the recognized
leader of his party in that state, and
the men who repudiated him and de.
sired his everlasting humiliation are
now following his leadership.
In 1895 David B. Henderson, of Iowa,
desired to be appointed chairman of the
committee on appropriations of the
national house of representatives.
Speaker Reed refused to give him that
position. Four years later, in 1899, Col

other committees of the house.

1894 he was elected to the senate, and
is now an honored member of that
body.
In 1879 Chester A. Arthur was re-
moved from the position of collector of
the port of New York. and was poGti.
cally disgraced. In 1880 he was NOM
mated and elected vice president, and
in 1881 he became president of this re-
public.
These are only a few of the illustra-
tons from real life which were given
by the wise old observer of events, and
as they fell from his lips they were
deliberately discoursed upon to show
that ''in the worlds bright lexicon OF
youth there's no such word as fall
if men and women will but keep their
courage, faith and hope frightened by
determination. The text was also
quoted: Whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might"
The pathway to success was never
ga primrose path of dalliance," and ii
is sleeper path to-day than ever be-
fore, because of the competition in this
| seething world of selfishness. But they
who toll will win. Bacon says that
"men must know that in this theatei
of mans life it remaineth only to God
and the angels to be lookers-on," which
is a strong way of putting the state
ment that the genius of labor alone
produces success. No man may model
his life upon that of another But every
man may be sure that the universal
law of success demands toll and cour.
