ALWAYS in the WAY.

Recently country doctor in the
north of Ireland, bachelor, who was
locally noted for his brusqueness and
Feasibility, was driving along a nor
row lane, or "boreen," when his pas
sage was effectually barred by an old
woman, who was returning from the
bog leading an ass whose panniers
were filled with peats. The woman
led the ass to the side of the lane as
quickly as she could, but not quickly
enough to please the short-tempered
doctor. Taught" he exclaimed, with
snort of disgust. Women and asses
are always in the way" I'm glad ye
have the manners to put yourself
last" said the old woman, calmly
The doctor drove on without another

and procure the great public power of
railway companies to be secretly per-
verted In their interest. Under no
other possible theory could they hope
to survive.
Waving the question OF the studied
Insolence of this language (regarding
the "mob"), in so far as it may be
aimed at the present occupant Of the
bench, the court can, Of course, only
leave to the discretion of the Standard
Oil company the wisdom and pro-
priety Of a $1O0,000,0oO corporation
gratuitously inaugurating agitation
about the "mob.'
The court is not impressed by the
doleful predictions of counsel for the
defense as to the hardships upon the
honest shipping public to be antici-
pated from the enforcement Of this
rule. The honest man who tenders q
commodity for transportation by q
railway company will not be fraudu-
lently misled by that company into al

The conception and execution Of
such commercial policy necessarily
involves the contamination of subor-
dinate officers or employees, even look
ing to the time when testimony will
be required for the protection Of the
revenues of the offender for the ex-
actions Of the law for its violation.
Under the doctrine insisted upon by
the defendant the railway company
might give the Standard Oil company
a low transportation rate and by con-
tract obligate itself to withhold the

poor mortals are concerned, almost
everything is luck. There is an ex-
caption to this rule when the man
who thinks he is smart prepares to
beat the shell game. In that case
he is going up against an absolutely
sure thing and has no show to win,
but in the ordinary ayocations luck
plays a most important part.
Most successful men have seen
times when it was a toss up whether
they would pull through or go to
the wall. Furthermore the old prov
erb about Opportunity calling
once at each mans door saddled and
bridled ready to be ridden, but if
the man neglects that chance OPP
comes no more, has been
proven over and over again to be
wrong. The fact is that opportuni-
ties are coming along nearly every
day only we don't see them. Every
once in awhile we see what we think
is an opportunity and mount it only
to find that il wasn't a horse at all, |
only a saw horse. On the other
hand men sometimes mount what |
seems to be a mighty measley nag
and ride it to success.

JUST A MATTER OF LUCK.

A great deal of this talk about
successful fnanciers tends to make
US weary. No doubt there are
some people who are shrewder than
other people and there is no doubt
that some people possess energy and
courage in a remarkable degree. If
a man has grit and persistence and
just a reasonable amount of brains
and a tendency to make money he
can do it. But then he may fall
down several times before he makes
his pile. Some of the greatest iinan-
