SUCCESSFUL FAILURES.

To succeed in accommodating
money, or its equivalent. regard
less of how attained, is not true
success. a man may strictly
observe the letter of the law, and
yet his financial success be based
upon fraud and deception. As a
merchant, such a man sells his
goods at rock bottom prices to
his cash customers, and at sky
high rates to those forced TO live
on a credit or starve. He grows
rich while others grow poor. The
latter's failure may be a plain
old-fashioned failure, but the
former is on the successful order.
y man grows rich from gam
bling-it may be at cards, on the
race track, or in corn or cotton
futures, anything but by indus
try and honest plodding. Strive
as he will, the money gained by
such methods, fails TO buy peace,
happiness, or a clear conscience.
Through life he must go, a sue
cessful failure, because the foun-
dation of his fortune was un-
sound.
From our public schools, COL
leges, and universities, here arc
graduated yearly, armies OF sue
cessful failures. Boys and girls.
young men and youn. women.
Jack their way through the
various eurriculums, and diplo-
mas in hand, announco to the
world the fact that they have met
with the requirements of the
same time-honored institution.
and are filled to the brim with
knowledge. As teachers, law
yers, doctors, preachers and BUSH
ness men, one out of ten truly
succeeds. The reason nav be
generally found in the primary
grades, when they formed habits
of sighting work that didn' come
under the teachers especial no.
tice. In time they became eye
servers, and strove to make
grades by fair means or foul, re-
gardless OF conscience, or future
results. Unless there is a radi-
cal reconstruction of principles,
these successful failures in edu-
cation end as they begun, by
smattering through work, and
Sinking every duty not forced
upon them by relentless necessity.
The successful failure is the
very worst of failures, because
principle ia undermined, and de-
ception and fraud substituted for
truth. If a failure you are deter
mined to be, choose to be the
honest, out-and- out, down-at-
the-heels v-riety, that no one
envies. or cares to emulate, and
your sphere of harmfulness will
ce correspondingly limited.

Popping THE FALLING.

liza man, woman or child in our
community is known to be in
want, there are hundreds who
would gladly, and generously
help them. Not to help, under
such circumstances. would be
heartlcss. yet ninety-ninc out of n
hundred of those willing to con-
tribute to charity, would not lift
a finger to aid those struggling
over rough places, or burdened
with misfortune. a man meets
with reverses, which force him to
sell his property. Instead OF his
friends offering him n fair, square
price for his belongings, they
prick up their ears, and strike
the trail of a bargain. The I'M
fortunate man needs a prop, be-
fore he falls. but most people
prefer feeding him on charity,
after he's down.
1t has been said OF one Of the
wealthiest men of our state, that
nc never held a mortgage that he
didn't foreclose it; yet that mans
name headed more subscriptions
to charity, and donations to re-
ligious purposes, than any three
men combined. He fed the fall
en- generously, for it would have
been detrimental to his good name
70 do otherwise, but he fleeced
the falling in order to pauperize
his fellow-men.
John d. Rockefeller exempli-
les n like sentiment, when he
donates millions 10 charity, but
raises the money by cornering
some necessity for the poor, anc
forcing them to pay for his mu
, nificent gifts.
The world is full of struggler,
for respectable independence
They know full well that in n,
Christian community, woul,

they dread most Of all. Deare.
than life itself is the love OF in.
dependence, and it is this prin.
ciple which makes our nation tn,
greatest people under the sun
: Why not give these substantial
encouragement, by timely prop
ping. instead of waiting unit
humiliating aims is all you ca
offer. To prop the falling is tn
= cream OF human kindness; TO fee,
them after they have fallen, i
but skinned milk.
Let the capitalist and finance

they would prefer help, if the,

the good you would do by feed
ing a pauper.
