Better Than Success.



A sagacious, shrewd, acute man Of the
world is sometimes a mere nuisance; he
has made his prosperous corner at the ex-
pense of others. and he has only contrived
to accumulate. behind a little fence of his
own, what was meant to be the property
Of all l have known a good many success
full men. and l cannot honestly say that
think that they are generally the better
for their success. They have often learned
self-confidence the shadow OF which is a
good natured contempt for ineffective peo-
pie; the shadow on the other hand, which
falls on the contemplative man is an I'M
due diffidence. an indolent depression a
tendency to think that 1t does not very
much matter what any one does.
But, on the other hand, the contemplative
man sometimes does grasp one very i'm
portant fact-that we are sent into the
God and ourselves; whereas il we spend our
lives in directing and commanding and con-
sulting others. We get swollen a sense
of our own Importance, our own adroitness
our own effectiveness. that we forget that
we are tolerated rather than needed 1t Is
better on the whole to tarry the Lords
leisure than to try impatiently to force the
hand of God. and to make amends for his
apparent slothfulness. What really makes
a nation grow, and improve. and progress,
Is not social legislation and organization
That is only the sign of the rising moral
temperature and a man who sets an ex-
ample Of soberness, and kindness and
contentnent is better than a pragmaticaI
district visitor with taste for rating meek
persons.

VICTIMS OF FARMERS IRE
CHICAGoANs FORCED TO STAND
AND SEE AUTO BURNED
Because They Accidentally Ran Over
Boy-Party Roughly Treated
Despite Offers to Settle.

CHICAGO, August 3.-Mobbed by farmers
after, their big touring had acciden-
tally run over little boy, s. b. Chaplin, mil
lionaire packer, and two woman compan-
ions, one Of whom was Mr.. Chapins wife,
are said to have been driven from the auto
mobile in the vicinity of Deerfield ILL.,,
forced to stand and look on while the big
automobile was incnerated in big bonfire
that the farmers built under it, and then
compelled to walk two miles through the
country before they could find an accommo-
dating driver who would take them to the
Moraine Hotel in Highland Park.
These statements were made by citizens
at Deerfeld yesterday to clear up the mys-
terry of the destruction of a large touring
car last Saturday, about which little could
be learned on account of the manner IN
which the owners of the car guarded the
accident.
1t was stated on good authority yester-
day, however that the occupants OF the car
were young l.. F. Swift son Of the millionaire
packer: s. B. Chaplin, member or the
brokerage firm of S. B. Chaplin & Co, with
offices in the stock exchange building In
Chicago and 66I 9Th avenue, New YORK;
Mrs. Chaplin and young woman VINO mas
been visiting as a guest at the Chapin
summer residence in Lake Geneva.
Refused Every Civility.
Yesterday it was said that AFTER the en-
ragged farmers burned the big automobile
they jeered the members of the party, re-
fused to furnish them conveyance with
which to return to their homes and declined
to even sell horse and vehicle at any
price.
The running down of the boy Is said to
have been entirely accidental and unaVoid-
able upon the part of the automoplie
party. 1t is said that as soon as the acct,
dent took place the Automobiles stopped
the car, returned to the spot where the BOY
lay and were prepared to do all in their
power to help him when they fell into the
hands Of the enraged farmers.
In fact, it is reported that even after the
motorists had been subj to all this
humiliation young Mr.. Swift went back to
Deerfield on the following day. had the boy
attended to by the best Of physicians and
offered to indemnify him through his father
to any reasonable extent for his injuries,
regardless Of the wrecking of the automo-
bile.
