Very fierce was the fighting. but at

was sent to the ancient castle on the
high hill above the battlefield, that it
must surrender at once.
A great company had assembled in
the castle. There were soldiers guard

said that although the men in the
fortress were all to be taken prison

peace. and that each one would be
allowed to carry on her back the
treasure she most highly priced.
konrad's mighty army drew up in

head of the first column was Konrad

castle, suddenly saw the gates thrown

The whole army now turned to look,

line OF women was seen. and each
one carried a man on her back. Her
husband, her father, her son, brother.

HIGH CLASS.

A well-known New York composer
who had long felt the need Of rep
utable firm of agents to undertake the
disposal of his compositions, read re-
Gently the advertisement Of bureau
which offered to place musical and
other manuscripts with publishers
Their charges were fairly high. and
the advertisement stated expressly
that only work "of the highest grade
was handled by the bureau. The
composer, thinking that this was
probably the opportunity he had been
looking for. sought the address given
in the advertisement Entering the
offices of the concern. he found the
manager, in his shirt sleeves, sitting
at a typewriter

composer "you could place this Sane

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE.

The remark recently made by
Thomas c. Plat concerning his OWL
life was lifting of the curtain, for
an instant, to show the real feelings
oi man who has succeeded-and fail
| cd
Plat said, you will remember: "My
life could have been made so much
better, or at least different from what
! it has been"
$50 much better-or different
The phrasing is characteristic-a
confession and then an adroit hedg.
| ing of his words, lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
IS plain. He knows his life has not
been what it ought to have been.
It might have been better-or much
better. Seventy-two years old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about
everything man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He Is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is a senator Of the Unit
ed States and maker Of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll.
ties Of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while 20 himself ana to the.
world? With the clear after vision
CT old age Plat can see that his life
has simply been a successful failure.
Because.
"a mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being:
not r.: getting, but in giving. 1t lies
not in what man has, but in what
he is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead Of mil
lions of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul; instead Of fame as boss
hat of q benefactor: instead of rower
in politics the power to do good to
Ills fellows; instead Of the fawning
of lieutenants, the esteem of friends;
instead of hollow service, love.
Yes. his life could have been made
so much better"-if he haf cared
for the real things instead of the i'm
itations.
And for the sake of the young men
of this country it is we'll that this
old man, successful after his kind
-hnnld virtually confess his failure.
