SUCCESS

Two ships sail over the harbor bar,
With the flush Of the morning
breeze,
And both are bound for a haven far
Ger the shimmering summer seas,
With sails all set, fair wind and tide,
They steer for the open main;
But little they reck of the pillows
wide,
Ere they anchor safe again.
There is one, perchance, ere the sum-
mer is done,
That reaches the port afar;
She hears the sound of the welcoming
gun
AS she crosses the harbor par.
The haven she reaches, Success, it's
said,
Is the end of a perilous trip;
Perchance cen the bravest and best
are dead,
Who sailed in the fortunate ship.
The other, bereft OF shroud and sail,
At the mercy of wind and tide,
Is swept by the might of the pitiless
gale
Meath the pillows dark and wide.
But it's only the one in the harbor
there
That, receiveth the need of praise;
The other sailed when the morn was
fair,
And was lost in the stormy ways.
And so, to men who have won re-
nUWn
In the weary battle of life,
There cometh at last the victor's
crown,
Not to him who fell in the strife,
For the world recks not of those who
fall,
Nor cares what their trials are;
Only praises the ship that with swell
ing sail
Comes in DER the harbor bar.

101 years and months, also did So
Mr.. Wark had long been the oldest
legislator in the world. Of Irish
birth, he settled in New Brunswick
eighty years ago. In 1882 he was elect
ed to the New Brunswick legislature
and he was almost constantly in pub

death. He had been a member of the
Canadian senate, life Office, since the
dominion was federated in 1867, and
he never ceased to take an active in

Wark could distinctly remember the
conference of the powers at Vienna in
1914 and Napoleon's defeat at Water

According to the Boston Herald
former Secretary of State Olney tells
this story on Justice Gray, who prefers
walking to riding, and a carriage to
street car: In Boston he was pro-
vided with carriage by the United
States marshal. From Boston he went
to Providence to hold court. He asked
the United States marshal there to
provide him with carriage to carry
him back and forth. The marshal
said he could not do SO without pay
ing for it out of his own pocket.
Very WE'LL" said Judge Gray, and
paid for it himself. The Providence
marshal wrote to the Boston marshal
and asked him how he managed car
riage for Judge Gray. Easily enough"
was the response. II provided Judge
Gray with a carriage, and my account
went through without any trouble.
You see, put the item under the
head of care and transportation of
prisoners
