Redeem Your Past Failures,

You may say that you have failed too
often, that there is no use in trying,
that it is impossible for you to sue
ceed and that you have fallen too Of
ten even to attempt to get on your feet
again. Nonsense! There is no failure
for a man whose spirit is unconquered.
No matter how late the hour or how
many and repeated his failures sue
cess is still possible. The evolution
of Scrooge, the miser, in the closing
years of his life, from hard, narrow,
heartless money grubber, whose soul
was imprisoned in his shining heap
of boarded gold, to a generous, genial
lover of his kind, is no mere myth
of Dickens brain. Time and again, in
the history Of our daily lives, chron-
icled in our newspapers, recorded in
biographies or exhibited before our
eyes, we see men and women redeem
ing past failures, rising up out of the
stupor of encouragement and boldly
turning face forward once more.-O.

How to Shoot a Ratt1er.

The writer once saw an Indian kill
rattlesneke in a very peculiar man
ner. The rattler was about ten feet
from the Indian, who was resting the
rifle on his knee, apparently taking aim.
Whenever he moved the weapon a
few inches the snake would move
around and get exactly in line with it.
Then, to show how the thing was done
the Indian moved about the snake in a
circle, and the reptile moved as If its
tail were a pivot, always keeping its
head and body in line with the gum
The Indian then agreed to bandage his
eyes and shoot the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indians
eyes, and, holding the gun by his side
at arms length, the latter pulled the
trigger, and the ball entered the snakes
mouth and passed. the whole length Of
its body.
How did you take aim?" was the
query.
''The snake he take aim," was the
reply.
We have talked with an old hunter
on this proposition, and he claims that
a rattlesnake will always range direct
ly in line with a gun or stick pointed al
it-Exchange.

The Reporter Succeeded.

In New York on one occasion re-
porter made several vain attempts to
see J. Pierpont Morgan, both at his Of
flee and his residence. Finally his op-
portunity came. He was interviewing
another f1nancier and incidentally came
into possession Of the latter's card. He
kept it; then, going to Morgan's resi-
dence, he sent in his own card in COM
pany with that Of the flnancier. The
ruse was successful, and he was shown
into Morgan's presence. When the re-
porter had stated his reason for the
call the f1nancier said, "Do you know,
young man, that at least ten reporters
have tried to see me today with ref
erence to this question: 1 have de-
clined to see any Of them" The re-
porter smiled and replied, Eyes, sir,
know that, for I was the whole ten."
He got his interview.

A LEPAeE PICTURE,
The Work That Brought the Artis,
Public Recognition.

The Work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.
The label on certain spring water
still in use was designated by Du
Maurier, who was probably not over
paid for it, and New York artist who
has since gained distinction eked out
the hardest part of his early struggles
by designing advertisements for a
commercial house. There have been
many more perhaps, but the most con-
spicuous on record Is Bastien Lepage,
who through this very fact was forced
into fame. He was pursued by unmer-
ciful disaster through his youth in his
efforts to study art. His mother worked
In the fields to keep sickly boy at
school. At fifteen he went alone to
Paris, starved for seven years, painted
without success, but still-painted. He
had just finished a picture to send to
the Salon when Paris was besieged,
and he rushed with his comrades to
the trenches
On the first day a shell fell into his
studio and destroyed his picture, and
another shell burst at his feet, wound
ing him. He was carried home and lay
Ill and idle for two years. Then he re-
turned to Paris and, reduced to abso-
lutte want, painted cheap fans for
living.
One day manufacturer of some pat
ent medicine ordered picture from
him to illustrate its virtues. Lepage.
who was always sincere gave his best
work to this advertisement He paint
ed landscape in the April sunlight
The leaves of tender green quivered in
the breeze. A group of beautiful young
girls gathered around a fountain from
which the elixir of youth sprang in a
bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit in it.
"Let me offer it at the Salon?'' he
asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
''But first paint rainbow arching over
the fountain" he said, with the name
of my medicine upon It."
Lepage refused.
''Then will not pay you a sou for
the picture
The price Of this picture meant bread
for months, and the painter had long
needed bread The chance of admis-
sion to the salon was small. He hesi-
tated. Then he s1lenced his hunger and
carried the canvas to the salon. 1t was
admitted
Its great success insured Lepage
public recognition, and his later work
gained him place among the greatest
of living artists
