TWO GREAT MEN,
Examples Of the UnfaiIing Value of
Character and Energy

The editor OF the Manufacturers
Record is IN receipt Of a private letter
in which reference is made To two men
whose work for Southern upbuilding
has attracted wide attention. The
statements made in this letter as to
the reason why these men have sue
ceeded, namely, that their success is
founded on the highest integrity ana
the broadest appreciation Of tho broth
crhood OF humanity, may justify the
publication of an extract as pointing
moral which may we'll be studied by
the young men OF this country. From
this personal letter we take the fol-
lowing
"Thc two most extraordinary men |
have over known arc Arthur f.. Still
well, OF Kansas City, Mo-. and John
SHELTON Williams, Of Richmond, Va.
There are others who in the course OF
IL lifetime have accomplished more
than either OF these young giants, but
no two OF whom | have any knowledge
who have rolled such big stones up such
steep hills at SO early an age.
great deal has, naturally enough,
been printed concerning them both,
but the real handspring OF their power
has not so far been disclosed. They are
both very strong physically, with
nerves OF steel. They are both quick
to see situations and opportunities and
discover tho proportions OF men and
things. Both are imbucd with un-
daunted courage and indomitabe en-
ergy. Both are capable Of eighteen
hours bard work day after day, month
after month, without ehowing any signs
OF ilagginP. Both are tremendously In
earnest and incapable OF turning back
once their hands are laid to the plOw.
Both are the mover. OF men, prOmpters
of thought, great persuaders and stub.
born resisters. But it is none OF these
qualities that constitute the main
spring OF the strength OF either Of
them. They constitute two Of the finest
| typos OF Christian gentlemen to be
found among men, hewing to the line
OF conviction, living up to their prin.
| ciples, unswervable q hairbreadth by
any possible temptation. Thus it is
the moral character OF these two men
more than anything else which has
enabled them to do the difficult things
which have made thom so notable.
:" have been struck by one other
| characteristic which they have in com
mon. Both are men Of large human
| sympathics, SO large that IT, would be q
justiiiable exaggeration to say that,
great strong men as they are, their
hearts are bigger than their brains and
bodies put together, and that they have
flowing in their veins more OF the
milk OF human kindness" than OF
healthy red blood. To have won either
of them for your friend Is better than
to have found new big brother"
The M Inuiacturers' Record believes
that such tributg as this to mora
worth as the reason for success justi.
fies tho publication Of this strong
eulogy, for 1t may teach lesson which
thousahds OF young men just coming
into the field OF human activities may
takefto heart and profit by.

the old lady. After they had discussed
the spirit and tobacco trade awhile
they looked around at the Quakereas.
Then they looked at each other, smiled,
and one remarked In an undertone,
"Billy, guess the old lady Is inflated
with Quaker yeast"
Without lifting her eyes the oldaady
remarked, go low that the passengers
could not hear it, "If thy father and
