LUCK AND PLAYER.
Young Jay Gould's Explanation of the
Secret of Winning.

From the Wall Street oJurnal
Next to winning greatly, there is
nothing finer in life than to lose SUI
perbly He who can accept defeat
without bitterness or depression has in
him the quality which will in the end
achieve success.
Young Jay Gould displayed a splen
did spirit when he was defeated at ten
mis- by the English champion, e. II.
Miles.
II tried my best to win said he, but
Mr.. Miles was too good for me. AS to
luck ii always goes to the better play
err
Mr.. Miles was immensely pleased, not
only by the young Americans playing,
but even more by the way in which he
accepted defeat. and he predicted that it
would not be long before young Gould
would be able to beat him.
Jay Gould is only seventeen years old.
but his saying that "as to luck, it always
goes to the better player" is a bit of
philosophy that might well have come
from a much older head.
No one who has had much experience in
life can doubt that there is such a thing
as luck, OF rather Sucn events as we call
luck. although they may have been or
dered by the law of cause and effect. 1t has
been said that the Rothschlds will have
no one in their employ who is not lucky;
that Is to say. who has not had record
of success. One of the leading business
men of New York said not long ago to
the writer that il was absurd to think of
a man becoming rich who was not aided
by luck. Unquestionably circumstances
and conditions control, more largely than
,, we are sometimes willing to admit, the
result of our lives.
But admitting that luck plays no small
part in determining the success and fail
| ure of a man, 1t is well to remember the
| vital truth, so we'll put by the young
American tennis champion. that luck al
\ ways goes to the better player. In 9TH
| er words, the man who, by his study his
| work, his devotion to truth. really makes
| himself the better player in any depart
| ment of life is the man who gets the
| luck
| One of the greatest publishers in this
| country, a man who has worked hard
| and achieved the largest success which
| can be attained by any one in his de-
partment of enterprise. is accustomed to
| say that he never gets into tight place
| or is confronted with sudden emergency
but that something always happens just
at the right moment to pull him out in
| better shape than he was before That
| is to say he was lucky; but he was lucky
| because he was. in the first place, the
better player

Der a time when corn was popped at

called spiders, with a tin pot cover over
the spider to keep the popping corn from

cover on you couldn't see the corn and
because you didn't dare to take the cover
off till the popping was all over, you were
likely to have left lot of unpopped,
burnt kernels.
Then some able genius invented the wire
corn pepper. now made in various sizes,
for commercial as we'll as for domestic
use and the manner of popping corn was
revolutionzed in a jiffy; and with this
new popping facility popped corn be-
came more popular than ever, and the

the parlor or the sitting room, In any or
the old-fashioned cylinder stoves, where
visitors, as we'll as the members or the
home circle could see and perhaps par
tcipate in the popping, and see and near
the corn kernels pop and pop until the
corn that at first had formed but thin
layer that just covered its bottom had
popped into a fluffy, fragrant mass OF
tender popped corn that filled the pepper
completely, to the great delight or all.
II is probable that few minor inventions
have contributed more to the peace and
happiness and innocent enjoyment of the
household that the wire corn pepper and
from its invention really dates the modern
popped corn industry, the greater devel-
opment of which, however, has come
within years comparatively recent.
In those early days they did have, in
deed, and 1t was even then standard
form of eonfeetion. the popcorn ball. AT
candy stores and fruit stores that chill
dren patronized you saw pile OF
oranges and a pile of popcorn balls, and
even then popcorn balls were more or less
an article of special sale on festive occa-
sions like that, when people, as it were,
blew themselves off, but popcorn was
then an article of purely local and Incl
dental production, and OF comparatively
small consumption, and the farthest they
ever got with it in the way of variety
was to make some of the corn balls pink

dusty if the sale was slow and they were
long exposed.
Now popcorn is an article of factory
production, made in establishments de-
voted to popcorn exclusively and turning
1t out in many special forms, in brittles,
bars, crspettes, and pancakes, and SO on,

corn is now an article of countrywide
sale, at parks summer resorts. and carni-

in the aggregate. In these various forms,
in enormous quantities.
To the vast quantities thus sold is to be
added that sold by the popcorn privilege
