BOTH ARE SUCCESSfOll.

There was discussion iu Urosrrss
bout success and persons who are
rla=sed as successful.
WHY, spoke mp one woman. lit

haps- when ! tell YOU that among the
really successful @ class my washer
woman and my order man.
No. he isn't biz like the order man
we TeCd about. aud hc doesn't get his
picture in the comic papers
He's "a why Young fellow. with "a
public school education and the proud
record ct having worked himself up
from the place of the youngster who
hangs onto the danger sign ON the rear
Of the ice wagon till be owns "a little
business of his own. with daTky Dny

Only the other morning, az ] settled

with UndisSuiscd pride that ne had pee

and that burst OF confidence revealed
The whole secret of the spirit That he
puts into mis- work.

house There IS no way of telling from
her looks uT actions that she Is widow
with one helpless crippled boy and TWO
mites Of girls none too sturdy either
And whenever she has what she
calls 4 good week she puts 10y dollar

are grown up they can go Z" some buSl-
ness college and learn TO support them
selves at Office work For, AS she says,
they are much TOO fraH TO stand fac

mother does, and she cant bear chat
they shall not have chance AT some
