FORTUNE KNOCKS ONCE"

or all the fatalistic superstitions that
nave hindered the progress OF mankind,
PROBABLY few are responsible for more
failures in life than the absurd theory
that good fortune knocks once at each
mans door, and then departs forever un-
less the portal is opened with servle
promptness. man brought UP on that
theory Is always ready to throw tho
blame on Fate for the miscarriage of his
ventures. Il missed my chance when IL

hands for all future time. What's the
use of trying? He missed his chance and
all tho rest Of his life must necessarily
''bo bound in shadows and in miscrics "
The worst Of tor perhaps It is the
best of it's that it is all precious lie
Every man who has once succeeded in
this world has proved it lie. for success
has never come to tho man who sat down
with folded hands. 1t is the man who
treats every new day, every new oppor-
tunitY as the golden possibility Of his
life who succeeds in wrestling the prize
from ife-the prizes. rather for he will
succeed not once, but over and over
again II there were one possibility of
success and 3Gi Of failure in a year. a
mans chances would he slim indeed.
But the same ability and energy that
sprinkled salt on the tail Of the shy bird
one day will serve to do the trick again.
And tho man who failed on the other
attempt has all the more reason for not
failing the second time. lie needs To
win now. just to prove himself n man.
And he has the great advantage in his
favor Of knowing of one way not 10 do

It is said don't know how true it is

II is safe to assure that a large ma ioritv

or course that state of mind makes any
future success next TO impossible.
A chronic failure is immoral There is
no virtue in il. and the man who plumes
himself on his meekness and humility
is probably nursing nothing moro pious
than laziness. Not to succeed means an
inability to plan intelligently or inability
to hold on till success comes. or inability
to sec the moral relations Of his acts
