What Constitutes Success?

A Boston firm offered prize of $3.50
for the best answer to the question,
"'What is success?" The answer that Sc
cured the prize is as follows:
"He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect Of in
telligent men and the love Of little chill
dren; who has filled his niche and accom-
plished his task; who has left the world
better than he found it, whether by an
improved poppy, a perfect poem or
rescued soul; who has never lacked APP
probation of earth s beauty or failed to
express it; who has always looked for the
best in others and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration; whose
memory benediction.

to thee. Thy fatherland, the earth, is
thine, and thou shalt rule it; but thou

Wisdom and Love, the offspring Of
God, stayed with the new lord of the
earth. They instructed him and taught
him to know animate and inanimate ma

Man lives his allotted time on earth,
happy if Wisdom and Love deign to
cheer him with their influence. But when
his allotted time expires, his body re-
turns to mix with the elements whence it

There is an interesting bit Of feudal
history in connection with the table

ancient Castle of Oxford and broad
lands in it's vicinity were granted by the
King to the D'Oyly family, the obliga-
ton being to hold the castle in the name
of the King against all comers.
AS was the feudal usage, the head OF
the house was further required to rem
der yearly to the King some small trib
ute as an act of formal homage, and in

DIVORCED AND MARRIED
AGAIN IN A WEEK
Special to The Herald.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Jan. 9.-Within
a week e. l.. Westover. a wealthy
farmer of Charles Mix county, South
Dakota, was divorced from one wife
and took another, but Notwithstanding,
sees no reason why his neighbors
should gossip or why he should be
barred from the society of his home
town.
In the hope of heading off any talk
that might embarrass his new domes-
tic and social relations he had an
announcement of his divorce and mar
riage published in his local paper. For
this announcement he paid the regu-
lar advertising rates. In it he tells
that his first wife has gone to live
with his own parents, and he gives his
friends and relatives an invitation to
come and visit him and his newly
found heipmeet in the following words:
''B. l.. Westover wishes to announce
to the public that on November 16 his
wife, Eva Westover, secured a divorce
from him at Yankton. There was no
trouble between US. She wished to be
single. hoping to regain her health more
speedily. She has now taken our son
and gone to my parents home in Ohio
to live for a while.
Il also wish to announce that on
November 21 1 was quietly married to
Lois 1. Smith at the home of c. H.
Westover at Yankton. We now ex-
tend cordial invitation to our friends
and relatives to visit us at our home"

WHITE FISH FAST VANISHING
Government Must Soon Take Steps to
Increase Propagation to Save
the Valuable Food
Special to The Herald,

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 9.--That the
white fish of the great lakes are pass
ing as rapidly from existence as did
the millions of bisons which at one
time swarmed the American prairies
Is an undisputable fact, and with the
realization that with the departure
of the white fish industry the United
States government loses one of its
most remunerative industries, and also
one of the most valuable food products
on the market, it is strongly urged
that some remedy be adopted at once.
A man prominently connected with
one of the government fish hatcheries
and who is well informed on the ques-
tion of fish culture and propagation
says that the one and only successful
remedy is to promptly increase the
capacity of the various hatcheries
"The government should be willing
to expend ten times the amount of
money it now does on the propagation
of the white fish," said the hatchery
man, because the white fish is the
most valuable fresh water fish known,
and even exceeds the value of salmcn
$50 per ton in the eastern markets,
while considerable more is paid out
yearly for the Pacific coast hatcheries.
"And then, too" he continued, "30,-
900 more white fish eggs can be han
died in the same space taken by sal
mon eggs"
To illustrate the seriousness of the
impending white fish destruction the
following figures, which are correct in
every instance, were given out for
publication:
The catch of white fish in Michigan
in 1891 was S,110,000 pounds, while In
1904 it fell off to 4,197,0 pounds. In
Lake Erie the catch for 1889 was $780,
900 pounds. and in 1899 it came to g.
10OO 900 pounds. From 1898 to 1905 the
catch in Ontario decreased from $780,
900 pounds to 2,S9500O pounds.
The total catch of white fish in the
great lakes on both the American and
Canadian sides in 1904 exceeded $780,
900 fish, averaging two pounds and a
half in weight and the loss of eggs
contained in these fish exceeded 35,-
900, 000, 000 In 1905 the combined hatch
cries of the United States and Canada
only propagated the eggs from less
than 10000 fish, which is altogether in
adequate to overcome the great loss
of eggs destroyed by the fishermen.
Lake Michigan alone in 1904 gave UP
100000 fish, and it is safe to say that
Lake Erie provided 100000 of the
finny tribe, so to overcome this loss the
eggs of fully $4,000 fish should be prop
agated each year.
three pound Wnlte nSn yleldS over
10000 eggs, but of these only so per
cent hatch, and only four of these
reach maturity-that is, four years old.
Last year the American and Cana
dian hatcheries propagated less than
200 100000 fry, while the number Of
eggs in fish caught was 35,00O,0OO,O0O.
Forty years ago the catch of white
fish in the Detroit river on the Ameri-
can side alone exceeded 100000
pounds annually, while in later years
the combined catch of both the Ameri-
can and Canadian sides only amounted
to $4,000 pounds.

bilt avenue home for breakfast yester-
day, after going down town early, as
usual, to open the store of the w. X.
voorhees, Grain company, on Flatbush
avenue, near Hanson place, where he is
employed as salesman, when he found
himself the cause of great merriment
on the part of a number of school girls,
who were passengers on a Fulton street
car with him.
Mr.. Mersereau was deeply interested
in his morning paper when he heard a
giggle, which was followed by another
and still another giggle, finally swelling
into a chorus of giggling, which would
not down. Mr.. Mersereau looked around
to see what had happened. AS he did
so he noticed several pairs of school
girls eyes fixed on him. They looked
at each other and broke out giggling
afresh.
1t was plain that the girls were laugh
ing at Mr.. Mersereau, and Mr. Mer-
sereau was sure that he hadn't done
thing to affect their risibilities. He was
embarrassed, and when he felt his face
flushing he wanted to turn round and
make a few pertinent remarks, but the
girls giggled so sweetly and the situa-
tion was so ridiculous for him that, on
second thought, he plunged his face
into his newspaper and pretended to
be interested.
The giggling kept up until Mr.. Mer-
sereau got up to leave the car. He
could stand it no longer He was Won

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-Tommy
Murphy of New York gave Young Cor
bett a severe beating in a six-round
bout before the National Athletic club
tonight. From the first to the sixth
round Murphy outfought the former
champion at all stages In the second
round only the sound of the bell saved
Corbett from a knockout.
Murphy rained blows on the former
Denver fighter and near the close of
the round sent Corbett to the floor with
a right to the jaw. When Corbett
arose Murphy kept after him, sending
lefts and rights to the face and body.
When the gong sounded Corbett was
hanging on the ropes in a perfectly
helpless condition.
Corbett tired perceptibly in the clos
ing rounds. Murphy's condition was
perfect, but it is probable that Cor
bett would have tipped the beam close
to 140 pounds. He was slow and wild
and was outclassed in boxing, hitting
and other respects.

VENICE, Jan. 9--The tears stream
ing down his face, his head bowed in
abject sorrow and his whole being
trembling with emotion, Gene Akoun,
the elderly uncle of .Gaston and Ferd
Akoun, through whose activity Mr..
Kinney was first entertained with
plans for the construction of mid
way here, was the object of much
sympathy today as he wandered dis
ccnsolatsly back ard forth along the
plaisance, mourning the death of his
French trick dog Gyp, his constant
companion for more than fifteen years,
which was poisoned last night.
Gyp was a large shaggy brown ami
nal that had free access 20 every con
cession on the midway and had an ac-
quaintance with by far the bigger part
OF the population of Venice. He under.
stood Italian, French and English and
would obey his master when spoken
to in any of the above tongues.
Mr.. Akoun had Travelled with the dog
through every part OF Europe, and in
this country had exhibited him at the
Chicago, Buffalo, st. Louis and Port
land expositicns. The animal had an
Intelligence second only to human, and
was considered the equal of any trick
dog in the world.
"He was the best friend I had"
said Mr.. Akoun today. Together we
travelled many thousands of miles, just
he and J. and we loved each other
But he's gone now and am broken
hearted"
Who could have had the inhumanity
to poison the dog is a question that
no one has shown any disposition to
hazard guess at, but If the culprit Is
uncovered his stay in this community
will be at an end.

eight summers today fell from plank
that stretched from curb to solid as

flood that roared down Fair oaks ave-

fellow was precipitated into the flood
and he was battered about, unable to
gain his feet as the muddy waters
whirled him over and over in their
powerful grasp.
A japanese laborer saw the danger
that threatened as the little fellow was
being borne like a straw on the cur
rent which carried him fully fifty feet
and threatened to land him in the
yawning mouth of four-foot culvert
twenty-five feet away. A quick dash
through the floods, which were almost
strong enough to sweep the Jap from
his feet, and the little fellow was
grabbed as he dashed by in the stream.
He was all but drowned The fore

the rescuerer belonged could not tell
the name of the youngster, but he is
believed to be Robert Brown, residing
with his parents on California street.
