Opportunity.

There is widespread impression that
the success of some men, and indeed, most
men who succeed at all, is determined by
the intangible thing we call luck, that such
men are born under fortunate star.
Such, of course, is not the case, and
man can only be called lucky when he Is
endowed by such intelligence and good
Judgment as will enable him to properly
avail himself of the opportunities which
come to him day by day. To every man
there come opportunities almost every day,
which if seized and judiciously used lead
to usefulness and measure Of success.
More than anything else in life do men
have to mourn over lost opportunities.
They are passing us almost every hour In
the day, in some form or other, and are
frequently not recognized until they are
gone, and then it is too late. a lost OPP
portunity can rarely ever be recalled Some
men are endowed in a peculiar manner, to
see opportunities as they appear, and turn
them to good account. These are the men
who are called lucky, but they are, In
fact, the men who have better judgment
and foresight than others, and seize upon,
and appropriate opportunities that would
escape other men,
Stonewall Jackson was a great military
chieftain and successful warrior, not 50
much, however, in planning elaborate mil
itary campaigns, as in the ability to seize
the opportune moments in battle, turning
the tide and bringing victory to his armies.
This was noticeable in all the engagements
in which he figured, and stamped him as
military genius. 1t was not luck, but
good, quick judgment.
And SO with men in business. The
man who is quick to perceive and quick to
act, who has the ability to rapidly take IN
the situation, is the man, who, as IA rule
succeeds. He may make mistakes, but
these do not count so heavily against him
as dull inaction. He is alert to the op-
portunities about him.
And so also, opportunities for doing good
to others are constantly presenting them
selves, and how many times men let them
pass and regret it afterward. The speak
ing of kind word or the doing of good
deed, how often these come to every man,
and how often they are allowed to pass
unimproved. They come, they 60, and the
chance is forever gone.

"Will w Gilman Fly to the Pole p

Walter Wellman, the celebrated Artic ex.
plorer, has a second paper in the July Me.
Clures On the airship trip to the Pole which
he expects to make in a month. In this
article, which he calls ''Will the America
Fly to the Pole?'' he describes his marvellous
airship "America' and tells of dozens of in.
genious inventions embodied in it that have
never before been used by aerial navigators
Some idea of what gigantic ship the Amer
ica'' is may be gained from few of the many
proportions and figures he gives: Its length
is 1873 feet and its greatest diameter is 52.5
feet. The steel car underneath it is 115 feet
long, and from the bottom Of this car to the
top of the gasreservoir the distance is 65 feet,
the height Of four-story house. The surface
of the gas reservoir or balloon is "a, 900 square
feet, or more than half an acre, and the weight
of the cotton, silk, and rubber is two TONS
When the ship sells out upon its voyage it will
embrace more than twenty thousand pounds
ten tons-of material and cargo" There are
a crew of four men, twelve dogs with sledges,
instruments Of all sorts, sleeping and cooking
gear, boat oars, skees, guns, ammunition,
ETC., which weigh more than ton. There
are also in the cargo more than a ton of pro-
visions and three tons of gasolene:

in touch with the earth by trailing guide.
rope, stuffed with reserve supply of food,
and anchor when they must by means of re-
tarder which will be lowered from the forepart
of the car, Wellman graphically depicts. He
tells of the Arctic advantages to airshp navi-
cation, of peculiar Arctic difficulties and of
the almost incredible inventions by which they
hope to overcome them, of their chances for
fair winds-worked out from scientific obser-
vations,-of the busy life during their voyage
when each man of the crew must be on duty
eighteen hours each day and ofth four strings
to their bow, or four plans of action; the first
being to sail to the Pole and back to head
quarters or no other land, and three alterna-
tives which will probably yield them partial
successes at any rate. One cannot imagine a
more fascinating subject for speculation than
this Wellman article of adventure in the
making.

Bonaparte's Surprise.

On June 2 Mr. Bonaparte, head of the
Department of Justice, under the prodding
of incisive articles in the New York World
and other newspapers that he was slow and
behind the times as a trust buster, said
lin some cases where continuous viola
tions of the law involve large number Of
illegal acts, each one of them criminal, the
total fines which can be imposed have
proved sufficient deterrent. Butin other
cases it is the opinion of most prosecuting
officers that the law can be much more
clearly and effectively enforced through the
imprisonment of individual defendants. -
That indicated that the Attorney Gen
eral intended to try his hand at putting
some of the CHAD trust and corporation
magnates, including such an undesirable
citizen as Mr.. Hartman "behind the
bars if he could convince jury he was
as black as painted by President Roosevelt
and others.
But on June President Roosevelt, the
Cabinet concurring, took the wind out of
the Attorney-Generals sails by deciding
that Mr. Hartman, although branded as
law breaker and most undesirable citi-
zen, could not be proceeded against Grimm
ally. This decision of all the principal
leaders of the Republican party was evil
IDENTIFY tub thrown to the Wall Street
whale where the stock market was disor-
ganized and needed tonic to prevent dis

The trouble with Attorney General
Bonaparte was-he is now undeceived-
that he, like others, had taken President
Roosevelt seriously as ready to go to ex-
tremes to curb the trust magnates and con-
troll the railroad managers. He had evi :
IDENTIFY overlooked the fact that President
Roosevelt in his correspondence with Mr..
Hartman had declared that "you and I
are practical men, while Bonaparte evi

The editor of the St. Louis Globe-Demo-

prostration these days, and his tender feel
ings have been lately lacerated by the
statement of the Chicago Tribune that,
there is no Republican party in any of
the So called Southern States One can
hardly blame the Globe Democrat for get
ting excited about it, for it is so evidently
true that outside of the Federal officehold-
ers there is not much to be found of the
Republican party in the South. For in
stance, at the caucuses in New Orleans
lately there were only about 700 votes
cast and there are over 700 Republican
