o. life than many jealous. unsuccessful
rivals become beside themselves with
rage. Az q monomaniac may be ra-
tional on every subject but one. so the |
.ealous man may be fair and Just on |
,yery question, but be absolutely in |
sane and unjust when the works and |
lives OF his successful rivals are dis
cussed. II you are a Jealous man, you
will turn upon them all your batteries
OF scorn and denunciation. You will
magnify their faults and gloat over
their imperfections, you will loathe
them with an unutterable loathing, and
when, on account OF your unjust criti-
cisms, you may have overthrown a
successful rival, you, as jealous man,
will Join in the pandemonium of de-
moniacal JOY in which all the evil spir-
its Of the inferno join in the chorus.
You will gleefully clap your hands and
shout: aha, we have destroyed him.
We have destroyed the man who has
dared to stand in our way
The surest Way to Success.
But, though jealous men and women
may try to trip up the runners, who
they fear may pass them in life's race,
yet the strange fact remains that the
surest way Of winning the prizes OF
success is not by destroying good men,
but by trying to help them along. How
did William Mckinley win his great
success in the political world? BY dip
ping his pen in gall? By trying to
WELD the executioner's ak Of SANDER
and defamation and hate? Oh, no!
| William Mckinley made his way into
the White House by trying to help two
of his friends there and by trying to
| help all his friends in every way he
| could. When in 1888 the Republican
convention met in Chicago, Mr.. McKin-
ley went there at the head of the Ohio
delegation pledged for the nomination
| of the grand old statesman of Mans
| field. After a few ballots the Ohio del
egates found it was impossible to NOM
mate Mr.. Sherman. AS many members
Of that convention wanted Mr.. Mckin-
ley, his friends waited upon him and
offered him their support. William Nc
Kinley looked into the eyes OF his
friends as he answered: Gentlemen, l
came to this convention pledged to
work for the nomination Of John Sher-
man. Any man who tries to nominate
me in his place is not my friend. VIII
liam McKinleys name under no condi
ton can be presented as a candidate
The same scene was practically dupll
Gated in the Minneapolis convention Of
1892. Mr.. Mckinley went there pledg
ed to support Benjamin Harrison. A
permanent chairman of that conven
ton he again and again arose and pro
tested against the presentation of hi
name as candidate. He protested il
spite Of the fact that the convention
was nearly swept off its feet at tn
mere mention of his name. After thes
two wonderful exhibitions of self sac
| rifice on William McKinley's part a
doubt, if there ever was any doubt, a
to the sterling character of the ma
was forever swept away. AT the ballo
