HOW WE Can AID THE PosTMAN

never rolled, unless absolutely neces-
sary. 1t ruins pictures to roll them,
but there are other practical reasons.
A letter carrier likes to arrange his
addresses all one way in the order of
his route. He can easily do this if he
has fiat packages, but a dozen or a
hundred small rolls in his pack will
mean that he must handle them separ-
ately and go through his bag to assert
them at every place where he makes
q delivery. A little forethought in
regard to these things will prevent un-
necessary work in the postal service.
A case has just been sent to the Post
Office Department at Washington for
settlement A shoe manufacturer in a
large place sent out cards with leather
medals attached bearing his signature.
The medals we're fastened to the
cards by means of strings and when
the postmen began to deliver them the
strings became so tangled with the
other mail that they found 1T would
take hours 10 extricate them In the
dilemma they took the cards back to
the postofFice, where a consultation was
held. The sender assagted they oug
to be delivered. but the matter W
settled by an appeal to Washington.
where it was decreed that as the mail
had not been sent IN a manner which

fession do so not because they nave
had better start than some other men
or because they have been better edu-
Gated. but because they have possessed
good judgment and have made good
use of their accomplishments. 1T is
this quality of good Judgment which
makes for success In life, and the lack
OF. which stands for failure. Without

failure.
But good judgment cannot stand the
strain of continued use OF whisky and
tobacco. The man who starts out thus
equipped must refrain from these per-
nicious habits If he wishes to keep his
judgment unimpaired. He has no
greater foe than whisky and cigarettes.

deaVors TO prevent men from making
failures OF their lives William Null
doom, or Professor Muldoon, as his
patrons call him. has saved many
youth from starting on the road that
ends in failure, and he has rescued
many older men from disaster His
sanitarium has seen many threatened
failure turned into success. So Mr..
Muldoon must know the causes of fall
ure in life.
To what do 1 attribute failure in
lifeT said Mr.. Muldoon- ITO rum and
tobacco. though there are several
other causes; but these are the most
important and the hardest to fight
against. The use of rum and tobacco
has already spoiled the future pros
poets of many bright young men, and
growing habit America will be pro-
ducing nothing but failures. Middle
aged men and men who have already
reared families whose male members
are now launched on their careers do
not belong to this class of failures. If
these men collapse mentally or physical
iy or find themselves unequal to going
on with the fight it is from strain and
too close attention to their business
affairs. Such men are not failures. But
the youth who is just starting out in
life--not where his father began, for
he began at the bottom and worked
his way up-this gilded youth who be-
gins the flght with every advantage
that wealth and position can give, nine
times out of ten will be forced to give
UP the fight or will do so voluntarily
because he has, with his vile habits,
made himself incapable of succeeding
or because he has not enough pride
and spirit to want the honor and glory
and pleasure that come with success
Success means having good judg-
ment. The general who leads his army
to victory does so not because he is a
better fighter or stronger man than
his enemy. but because he possesses
good Judgment. The business man who
amasses millions and the lawyer who
mounts to the very top of the pro-

OF reaching the top rung in the ladder

slonai career. Among just such men
the world counts many failures. And
why? Men themselves must answer
the question. Here is the opinion of a
man who knows nothing but success.
Victor Herbert, whose reputation as
a musical composer and leader rank
him among the great successes Of the
day, modestly admits that he has never
made failure OF anything he under
took in his art therefors his views are
worth something. And then he has
come in contact with geniuses and with
failures, and whe. would know better
than he II geniuses as Judge Turgee
said, are cut out for failures in certain
walks in life?
There are two reasons why / have

Herbert, "and I assume that man
who makes good living, whose cre-
ative powers bring him honor, glory
and friends. is a success. and these two
reasons are that / had an excellent
education and the best mother in the

in no common every day utility
are more mistakes made. The
amount of mike" matter at the postof-
flee proves this. A little care, little at
tention to postal laws and the use of
common sense will prove beneficial in
sending mail matter and insure its
safety. Letters containing money
notes, mortgages and deeds should al
ways be registered; also packages con-
tanning jewelry. The cost of registra-
tion is eight cents in addition to the
regularspostage. The Government pays
an indemnity for loss OF registered let
tiers and nowadays they are considered
as safe as express. Thirty years ago
the registry system was in such bad
repute that 1t was said to register a
letter simply meant that the postoffice
clerk was invited to take it. Unfortu-
nately, this bad reputation still fingers
in some localities. but as matter of
fact the system is sd perfected that abb

than success in connection with myself.
I think that people are born with the
power to succeed or fail, Some have
to work mueh harder than others and
much longer; some have greater obsta-
cles to surmount than many OF their
fellow men; some attain success fairly
early in life while to others 1t comes
later, but the man who IL born with a
determination to succeed and never
looks upon himself as anything less
than success will succeed, sometimes,
too. despite a lack OF home training
and higher education. These men are
rare, however, in this age Of educa-
tional advantages where 1t Is possibie
for everybody to acquire knowledge.
"A man cannot be musician of high
rank or painter OF standing Just be-
cause he has had good home training
and the best education his country
Afforded. There is something within
himself which determines the art or
profession to which he is to devote his
life, and when he has decided upon

failure. Character Is big factor in
the equation OF success. Weak char
acters never get beyond the point of
being mediocre. Only strong charac-

of them In my time, and they have

WHAT IS 1T THAT,S TO BLAME

- ACH day checks UP its list OF
failures and successes. With
every turn OF the wheel Of fate
there are men who go down aud
out--men whom the world may have
Ing the goal marked with the shining
letters Success" And there are other
men who pass through these portals
without the biare of trumpets. while
the world stands agape and wonders
what lucky chance got them through.
Is 1t luck and is it chance that
makes for success or failure? Is It
training or Is it birth, IS 1t character,
environment or force of circumstances
that enables one man to succeed where
another fails? There have always been
struggles among mankind for supre-
macy. They have fought and conquered
or been conquered. At first the strong
est man won, then the man who used
his brain to direct his muscle became
the victor. He it was who succeeded
where others, mayhap physically
stronger, failed.

struggled then were far different from
those confronting man today Now
success in life does not depend en-
tirely upon physical strength. Some
thing more than Drawn makes for VIC
tory, and even the combination of mus
Gle and brain may finally spell failure
If a man deviates from the path which
is his road TO the longed-for goal
When the professional man succeeds
his success brings the highest honor
and qualification, while IL bestows
rich benefits upon posterity and does
not lack pecuniary advantages to him
self. Judge Tourgee once said. in
speaking of the professional man who
succeeds: 'eI don't know about his
failings If he works. keeps sober and
sleeps at home. Lawyers. ministers
and physicians live on the sins Of the
people. and, OF course, grow fat under
reasonable exertion, unless competition
is too great. It requires genius to fail
in any OF these walks in life"

~ pdSA and rest on MS lau-
rcls. Competition today is too
Keen to allow him to do that, and,
besides, there are men close at his heels
ready to step into his shoes IL he sits
down to rest. Look at the novelists,
piaywrights. composers, lawyers,
fnanciers, physicians or any represen-
tative OF the arts and professions who
follow a great success by failure. 1t
Is the failure that is remembered and
held up against them to take away
some OF the glory OF their success un-
I'll they have achieved another.
SO, you see, to escape failure In the
end one must work hard. Spasmodic
work does not count for much in the
long run. To accomplish real results
one must have untiring energy and ap-
piieation, and. above ALL he must not
be satisfied with the well enough He
must be determined to excel others and
himself and must bend all his energies
toward the accomplishment OF this.
Then will he do his best work, and to
him VIII come success, while those who
are willing to relax their energies be-
cause others are pleased with what
they have accomplished will be classed,
eventually, among the failures in life"
What about geniuses; are they sue
cesses or failures?" was asked.
In the musical world geniuses are
rare. They do not always succeed,
IN a worldly way. perhaps because they
are so rare that IL takes the world
some time TO understand them. Bee

of long and careful study of men of
every age and condition. Better men
than have preached against cigarette
smoking, and apparently with no bet
ter results, for I am convinced that the
habit is growing at an overwhelming
pace, threatening the future of the race.
THE young man of today is so swal-
lowed up in self-conceit that no other
side of his character has a chance to
develop. He is 80 per cent -conceit.
and the remaining 20 per cent is self
reliance. How can such an insignifi-
cant amount of the stuff that makes
men of them hope to count when their
self-conceit is SO overwhelming? Self
reliance is an admirable thing, and
every manly man has plenty of 1t in
his makeup. But If he has not enough
of it to help him to avoid constant
smoking and drinking there is no help
for him.
