A Kansas woman, according to the

success as follows: "He has achieved
success who has lived well, laughed Of
ten and loved much; who has gained
the respect of intelligent men and the
love of little children; who has filled
his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better than he
found it, whether by an improved pop
py, perfect poem, or rescued soul:
who has never lacked appreciation 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
