A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE,

The remark recently made BY
Thomas c. Platt concerning his OWL,
ljte was lifting Of the curtain, for
an instant. to show the real feelings
oi a man who has succeeied-and fail.
ed.
Platt said, you Will remember: My
life could have been made so mucl,
better or at least different from what
it has been
SO much bctter-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 no:
been what II ought to have been
It might have been better--or much
better. Soventy-two years old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about
everything a man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is senator Of the Unit
ed States and maker of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while 60 himself ana to the
world? With the clear after vision
q old age Plat can see that his life
has simply been a successful failure.
Because.
"A mans life consistent not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being:
not IL getting, but in giving. 1t lies
not in what a 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
that of q henefa ctor: instead Of ,mw-r
in politics, the power to do good to
bis fellows; instea-, of the fawning
of lieutenantS the esteem of friends.
instead of hollow service, love.
Yes, mis- life "could have been made
SC mncf he'ter''--it he ha< 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
cid man, successful after his kind
should virtnallv confess his failure.

TIE RENEWALS.

'rhere are 100000 railway ties
used in renewals alone in the United

comb, one of the largest contractors
in the country, of Chicago, at the st
Nicholas, "tc say nothing of those
necessary in new railway lines. Thev

stitute for the timber tie. They ara,

The New World Synphony."

When Julian Edwards and StaniS-
Johnny Comes Marching Home" con
ceived the idea of writing distinc-
lively American comic opera they did
not seek inspiration in the ante.hellum
negro melodies. which Antonin Dyor
ack fancied to be our national folk
songs when he paid us the compli-
ment OF composing the New World
Symphony They found their mate
rial in the scenes, the characters. the
conduct, the actions and the songs of
our people who We're part and parcel
OF the civil war. They have used that
material to such excellence that the
fruit Of their labors is destined to en-
dure long in popularity and bring
them the rich reward of welldo
The constant Improvement of these
two gentlemen since they began TO
cCllaborate in working out their ideas
is apparent in every bar of the COM
poser's score and every scene of the
librettist's book
The scene is laid in the picturesque
Mississippi valley and while the cloud
OF war is suggested by marching
troops and glittering military trap
pings, the action is happily free from
the din of battle or any references
which might arouse sectional or party
1eellng. The silvery lining of the
cloud is continually in view. More ro-
nance than sunpowder is in the air
as the game of hearts is so strenuous
ly played by the soldiers of the Fed
eral army and the fair daughters of
the Confederacy that little account is
taken of Mason and Dixon's line. In
fact, it might be said that through
the master hand of Stanislaus Strange
the libret1ist the story has acquired
varnish of elegance and sympathetic
beauty-just like the chameleon bor-
rows its brilliant colors from the
plants to which it clings. The cos
tunes have been selected with dis
cretion and exquisite taste. AT the

One reason why Pcruna has found

it contains no narcotics of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acQuir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. It is permar
nent in it's effect.
As tonic and nerve invigorator
Peruna has no equal.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where PerunA
