A Successful Life.

Success in life and successf,I1 ynen
are common topics of discussion 4
Wnole library Of success has sprung
up, and there are many periodicals
which devote themselves to spurring
young men on to success AS a rule.
we measure success by wealth, but
the American among the living who
has lived what might be called the
best all-around successful life is
Speaker Joseph Cannon Look at his
kindly face and review his life and saw
whether he is not far nearer the true
type of success than some of our
effulgent millionaires.
Mr.. Cannon is now 6s years of age
He has had a comfortable, equable
life, and instead of spending all his
years In mad rush to get money,
to prepare for living, he has been
living. He has served his country,
he has played his part in the great
political drama Of the times, he has
helped In the making Of big history,
he has been near the heart of the life
of a great nation.
And yet one of the cornerstones Of
this successful life. which has had so
little to do with the mad and dis
heartening race for wealth, has been
a prudent care regarding money mat
ters. Mr.. Cannon has been in con-
gress for years and his annual outgo
has generally been twice as great as
his annual income. The modest for
tune which has enabled him to serve
his country and live public life with

VIENNA WARS ON PARTISAN FASH
Il IONS

Vienna is in arms against one of the
most timeshonored prerogative OF Paris.
In the world of feminine costume French
taste is still supposed to be as great
world wide domination as la grande ma
tion once aspired to be in politics. and the
ladies of the great world of the Austrian
capital are leagued together to compass
its overthrow at least as far as Vienna Is
concerned A society has been formed
and the word has gone forth that hence
forward costumerie for Viennese women
shall be made nowhere else but in Vienna.
The Archduchess Maria Josefa and the
Princess of Croy are at the head of the
movement and an exhibition is now being
held in support of it. This, it is hoped,
will be the Leipsic of the Napoleons Of

A Favorable Outlook.

Already the east is beginning to
think Of the money it must send out
this fall to move the crops. AS yet
there has been no call, but, even while
I the west has plenty and the annual
talk of greater western financial inde-
pendence is going around, the east is:
i quietly getting in readiness and east
ern banks are preparing for the de-
mand sure to come ultimately. Never
has it failed. The variant from one
season to another as to date and vol
ume, and promising this year to be
less urgent at first and relatively mod
crate on the whole, it will be felt
again beyond doubt.
The country promises to have enor-
nous crops to market and there is in
sight an agricultural total that will
burden the railroads and create a pur-
chasing power in the country greater
than ever before known. To get the
correct view of the situation is diff
fcult here, for Minneapolis has been
the center Of so much report of an un-
favorable nature that one must work
out of the local atmosphere to see
clearly.
If to begin with we assume the worst,
admit at once that the wheat crop is
a bad one, allow that the spring wheat
damage has not been overestimated, 1,
and, without quibbling, accept the low
figures Of 50O,0OO,0OO bushels as the
total for wheat, even then the former
favorable statement is in need Of no
qualification.
& Corn, cotton, oats and hay, and the
numerous smaller root and grain crops
promise very large returns. Satisfac-
tory yields are practically assured,
leaving a possibility for record break
ing production in some crops and more
than a fair chance that even against
the smaller wheat crop the country will
have the most prosperous agricultural
year in it's history.
The price factor must not be over
looked in this connection, for cotton,
with big crop in sight, is on very
!. remunerative level, while wheat is
bringing prices, that, in so far as the
farming community is concerned, make
up in good part for the loss in bush
els.
So long as the railroads are doing
heavy business, conditions. in general
must remain stable, there can be no
recession Of Importance while great
quantities of merchandise are moving
about. The western farmer produces
between 95,o0o,o00 and 1OO,O00,oOG
tons of cereals in a fair season, OF
which one-third remains on the farms
and two-thirds is taken over by the
railroads. To follow this cereal ton
mage thruout is utterly impossible, but
to trace it even to the greater pri
mary markets is to find such financial
backing necessary, such immensity OF
business interests involved and sc
enormous a labor capacity employed
as to permit of no stagnation and in
sure activity for a long period. We
I must not think too much Of the wheat

farms. The bonanza farmer devotes his
entire crop to wheat. When that fails he
has nothing on which to fall back. He is
entirely dependent on wheat and adds
nothing to the wealth Of the country or

risk his chances on one particular crop,

VISION

Let visions of the night or Of the day
Come as they will; and many a time they come
Until this earth he walks on seems not earth,
This light that strikes his eyeball is not light
This air that smites his forehead is not air
But yision-yea, his very hand and foot
In moments when he feels he cannot die,
And knows himself no vision to himself
Nor the high God vision, nor that One

candidly answered by asking for a
candid answer to another one, as in
any other way. How long does the

last as a candidate if he did not stand
