WORK FOR SUCCESS.
Be Content to Do What You
Know How to Do.

If you would succeed work.
There is no word in the En-
gliSh language which has more
vital meaning and holds more of
promise than that little word
work
Be content to do what you
know how to do. Keep at it
until you can do that particular
work better than anyone else.
Then you are a master.
Two young men of La Grange,
Ill, started out three years ago
TO find gold. For two years
they searched the Pacific coast
from Central America to British
Columbia most of the time on
the verge of starvation. Dis
couraged, they returned East
with only Il cents and an old
film camera. Something bad to
De done, so they began taking
penny photographs, and with
such success that at the end OF
another year they had $1,000
apiece.
There's lots of gold in the old
hills of the West, but these
young men did not know bow to
find it.
There's lots of gold in an old
camera. too, and they did know
how TO find that.
1t matters little what we do,
so long as we are useful. The
quality, not the kind, of work
should have ones chief concern.
1t is only when one has reached
the highest degree of perfection
in his work, whatever it may be,
that he has really succeeded.
Whether your business is max.
ing sausages, or painting pic
lures, is of no importance. Peo-
pie succeed IN both. Are YOU
making the best sausages that
can be made, or painting the
pictures that most please: There
is the real question.
Develop the talent that is
yours to the utmost and then
seek constantly to make it most
effective.
Canova could cut pat of but
ter into perfect lion. But a
lion of butter is valueless. He
learned to cut his lions in mar
ole, and became the master
sculptor of his age. The same
Canova was in them both, but
the difference between butter
and lasting marble is the differ
ence between obscurity and
fame.
The amount Of money received
does not always indicate the
real worth of mans work. |
There are other rewards more |

How fashionable dressmakers do en-

They now assert that: overskirts are
coming "in," and although a more un-
aesthetic. sartorial style never afflict-
ed civilization, that does not keep the
garment from being. admired by the
powers Of the fashionable world. A

overskirt vogue: It : is made with
three, bias ruf1es around the bottom
of theft petticoat: Over this, in thin

two deep points, one back and the
other front, the points falling to the
bottom Of the. skirt, the drapery at one

- Unlike Owatoga's :: direct course
through the swampy underground,
Winslow's unfamiliar feet led him by
q circuitous path to the base of a hill
on the opposite side from which the
Indian and Lavender had emerged the
night before.
Here he paused, and taking the dia-
gram from his pocket, studied it again.

loomed the hill like azmound made
with giant hands-steep, sharp, with

He was bordering whether to ascend
or skirt Its base, when his attention
was held by the figure of man coming
slowly down. His step was firm and
light as an Indian braves, though from
under the cap Of skins flowed hair
whittier than the aspen's silver lining.

ton is an excellent thing. Without it
the world would not progress. But
there are worthy and unworthy am

peculiar, the distinctive ambitions,
such as we see in childhood. Thus
I once knew a little boy who had an
ambition to be a letter carrier. and;

his mother had been preserving since

them in leather school satchel and
distributed them from house to house

blood has been shed; shield not the
murderer" In the morning Campbell
went to his guest and told him that
further shelter was impossible. He
took him, however, to cave in Ben
Cruachan and there left him; The
night again closed in and Campbell
slept, and again the blood-stained Don
aid appeared. '1nverawe, Inverawe,
blood has been shed; shield not the
murderer" On the morning he went
to the cave on the mountain, and the
murderer~had fed. Again at night he
slept, and again the blood-stained
Donald rose before him and said: 'In-
verawe, lnverawe, blood has been
shed. We shall not meet again till
we meet at Ticonderoga." He woke
in the morning, and behold, it was
dream. But the story of the triple
apparition remained by him, and he
often told it amongst his kinsmen,
asking always what the ghost could
mean by the mysterious word Of their
final rendezvous.
In 1853 there broke out the French
and English war in America, which
after many rebuffs ended in the con-
quest Of Quebec by General Wolfe.
Campbell, of Inverawe, went. out with
the Black Watch, the ~Forty-second
Highland regiment, afterwards 80 IA
nous. There, on the eve of an GU
gagement, the general came to the
officers and said: I'VE had better not
tell Campbell the name of the fortress
which we are attack tomorrow. It
is Ticonderoga. Let us call it Fort
George" The assault took place in
the morning. Campbell was MORALLY
wounded. He sent for the general.
These were his last words: General.
you have deceived me. I have seen
him again. This is Ticonderoga."
The story, romantic in itself, was
the more impressive from the fact
that Ticonderoga was name familiar
to me from the monuments in the
south aisle of Westminster Abbey to
two officers killed in that disastrous
affair. One is to Lord Howe, erected
by "the province of Massachusetts
Bay" not yet the state of Massachu-
sets. The other is to Colonel Town

monument, and two red Indians under

Dame Fashion has decreed most
anything and everything in the way

+ Absurd angles are not the most
striking thing about the winter mod.
els as they were. about the hats Of
last spring. The new hats lit more
squarely upon the head: and Il the
hat does tilt gracefully to one side

raised slightly at the left side, and
the trimming usually consists Of
wings, birds or plumes, often COM
bined with ribbon or velvet.
Both this shape and another with

are represented among our sketches
to-day, and one might readily multiply
attractive models in these two shapes.
The paradise plumes and other
plumes of the same general character.
which are features of our two models,
are gaining more and more favor as
the season advances, and are for
midable rivals of the ostrich plumes,
though, of course, they cannot take
the place Of the ostrich feathers where
a massed effect is desired.
Especially in yellow and In 4 vivid

pealed to the Partisan milliners and

There are but few monuments or
memorials erected, to English soldiers
in this country. but a new one has
but recently been completed at Tcon-
deroga. This Is In the form Of Car
negie Habrary, which has been dedi-
Gated to the heroes Of the famous
Black Watch regiment, which played
such a prominent part in the attack
on that fortress July. s, 1853, during
the: wal" with France. For eight con-
secutive hours these Scotch High
landers charged Montcalm's entrench-
ments. The regiment Is still "a
nous one in the English army and
it's officers have placed in the library
building memorial tablet to the
members OF the regiment killed in
that engagement.
The; tablet, which is OF marble,
framed In bronze, is placed over the
fireplace in the east wall Of the build
ing. The stone that was found with
the remains of Lord Howe and which
served to identify the bones as those
of that unfortunate officer, has been
presented to the library by Frederick
B. Richards and, enclosed in hand
some glass case, occupies a conspicu-
. GUS, place in. the historical alcoye. -.
The library building was erected at
cost, of $4,000, Of which $4,000 was
for historical annex.
The original name proposed for the
building was the carnegie Public Ii.
brary and Black Watch Memorial His.
torical Building but as that proved
too cumbersome for everyday use the
whole building is known locally as the
'Black Watch Memorial" and this is
carved In stone over the entrance, and
bronze tablet on the front of the
building, beside the entrance, will
read: Carnegie Public Library and
Historical Building." ~
This incident recalls the tragic
death of Colonel Campbell, of Inver-
awe, at this battle, and the peculiar
story connected with it.
In the middle Of the eighteenth cen.
fury the chief Of the Campbells, Of In
verawe had been giving an entertain
ment at his castle en- the banks of the
Awe. The party had broken up and
Campbell was left alone. He was
reused by violent knocking at the
gate, and YVES surprised at the ap-
pearance of one of his guests, with
torn garments and disheveled hair,
demanding admission. II have killed

beseech you to let me in. Swear
upon your dirk-upon the cruachan
| or hip where you dirk rests-swear
by Ben Cruachan-that you will not
betray me-" Campbell swore, and
placed the fugitive in secret place
| in the house. Presently there was a
second knocking at the gate. It was a
party of his guests, who said: Your
Cousin Donald has been killed; where
t is the murderer" At this announce
ment Campbell remembered the great
oath which he had sworn, gave an
evasive answer, and sent off the pur-
suers in wrong direction. He then
went to the fugitive and said; you
have killed my Cousin Donald. can
not keep you here" The murderer
appealed to his oaths, and persuaded
Campbell to let him stay for the night.
Campbell did so, and retired to rest.
In the visions Of that right the blood:
