The Way to Succeed.

Nowadays we read in the public
prints much academic advice to young
men on the way to succeed, all of
which is no doubt good and helpful.
The career of Oren Root Jr., aged
Twenty-Five, who has just been ap-
pointed to the highly responsible posi-
ton Of general manager of the great
Metropolitan street railway system of
New York, however, furnishes an illu-
minating and concrete lesson on the
subject. He was graduated from Ham
ilton college in 1894 After his gradu-
alton he made up his mind that the
street railway business was to his
taste, and he began at the bottom of
the ladder. He got a job as a general
workman, a gripman, motorman, a
conductor, starter, an inspector, an
assistant to the general manager, and
now he Is general manager of proba.
bly, the largest urban and interurban
railway system in the world. 1t is as
serted that he won his way without
outside help and purely by untiring In
dustry and fidelity to all the duties
that were assigned to him.

in his immediate removal 10 a hospital
in a far distant city. Arrangements
were made aud it seemed imperative
that these should he carried out at the
time designated in spite of possibilities
Of weather. As night he expected, one
who had minisiered TO him from the
first volunteered to assist in his removal
and care for him on the trip. IL seemed
necessary that they should leave on the
early morning train-on a morning when
old king winter was putting in some of
his finishing touches. The faithful
friend. to his eternal honor, trudged
through mountainous drifts considera-
bic distance with blankets aud other
comforts, because he would not take adj
vantage of a reasonable excuse and thus
disappoint one, who with the unreason
born of great suffering determined to
endure no delay. My friend, if | may
call him 81, was surely risking his life,
but he had risked il before in the cause
of humanity, on the battle field. This
is religion as he sees it. Many in ouI
midst could tell similar stories, which
prove that the better part of religion is
love thy neighbor as thyself.

Weather by Wireless Telegraphy

1t Is interesting to note that the
weather bureau at Washington Is
about TO make practical test of wire
less telegraphy. The seacoast tele-
graph line, which is rendered useless
in nearly every storm, will be re-en-
forced and perhaps supplanted by Il
wireless system which has been per
fected by the officials of the agricul-
tural department.
If the experiments now being con-
Quoted are successful, the entire At
lantic seaboard will be spanned by n
system of wireless stations which will
ultimately be extended to Havana and
Porto Rico. 1t is expected by this
means to be able to notify vessels at
sea Of approaching storms twentyfour
hours ahead, but the value Of this fea-
ture will, of course, depend upon the
number of vessels equipped with re-
ceiving apparatus.
AS an indication Of the progress In
the perfection and utilization Of wire
less telegraphy the results Of the
weather bureaus efforts to put the sys-
| tenn into practical, service will be
watched with keen interest

ANGLES LETTER.
Religion.

We are told that there have been more
than thousand sects of religion. These
serve to illustrate the evolution of
thought in world that has been in ex-
istence millions of years. 1t must be
that all these have had their origin in
the same root, which is the instructive
belief in a supernatural power that could
reward, punish, and destroy. Not all
the branches of this great tree could
withstand the force of destructive ele-
ments, and many more must fall for
only the tree of few branches can bear
perfect fruit. And who can tell when
looking at tree which of the apparently
sound branches shall be the first to de-
cay?
Difference in the forms are essential,
for it would be as drearily monotonous
for all to testify to their convictions in
exactly the same manner as though all
should dress in the same garb. And if
it is an objectionable rudeness to criti-
else our neighbours dress, what can be
thought of those who scott at what is, or
what should be, mans most sacred SELL
tinents? If we have found what seems
to suit us, it cannot be so good as we
think it if it does not wholly occupy our
minds to the exclusion of ungenerous
speculations as to the soundness of
others. Happy are they who can see the
beacon light; but rest assured it shines
for all. Once we behed this in all it's
glory it's powers of attraction will be
such that we simply could not turn from
it to contemplation of the less fortu-
nate.
Christ died to redeem the world
therefore all that we have to do is to
show in our own lives that we are-in
so far as is possible to weak human ma
ture-trying to follow His glorious ex-
amples. Thousands have fought and
died that they might enjoy the God
given privilege to do this in the manner
best suited to individual temperaments.
TO men of right principles it is a matter
as much above the franchise as heaven
is above the depths. If a man is untrue
to this fundamental principle, which il
the foundation of honor, he would prove
false friend, a despicable foe, an indif
ferent citizen, and an Enthusiastically EN-.
ployee.
Deeds are more eloquent than words

unselfshness, even at the risk of incur

Report.
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD.

SPEClA AL TO THE HERALD.
While the weather for the most part
has been warm the past week there has
been some frosts and maple sugar or
chards have yielded some sap. 1t is es-
timated that there will be from one
quarter to one-third of an ordinary crop,
and the difference to the farmers will
probably amount to loss of hundreds
of thousands of dollars. The unusually
forward spring has induced the be-
ginning of active farming operations.
Manufacturers continue busy and pros
poets continue favorable for successful
season. The lumb-rmen are beginning
to prepare logs for the annual drive
down the Connecticut River. The
streams are much swollen because of
the rain and warm weather which melts
the snow on the mountains and the
high water in Lake Champlan is cans
ing considerable annoyance in Burling-
ton, but there will be no ice blockade
and the actual damage by high water
will be comparatively small. Labor is
we'll employed and contented except in
few instances where the workmen
have requested concessions. Collections
continue slow but there is no particular
stringency among the merchants or
banks.
The unusually high water in Lake
Champlain has interrupted operations
somewhat with the lumber dealers in
Burlington but the money loss will be
small. The labor question is still un-
settled but many are of the opinion
that the labor organization will not call
, a strike. Collections are somewhat slow
this being practically the only unfavora-
BILE feature aside from the labor ques-
tion. The strike is still on at the
brush factory. Retail trade is good for
the season of the year, and the manu-
facturers and jobbers are doing well.
Montpelier reports business in general
satisfactory for the time of year. A
new granite shed is being erected. The
large church building, which was com.
menced some years ago, is about com.
pleted and will soon be dedicated. The
furniture factory at Beccher Falls, w.

are busy getting logs to the river
