LEARN TO LOSE AND SMILE"
JESSIE BUSLEYS RULE

1T makes no difference whether you

gospel; if you would win success Guilt
waite your sense Of humOr.'
That is Jessie Busley's whole philoso-
ply No matter what the environment,
there is a bit Of humOT lurking some
where. and it only requires the keen eye
to search # out and, recognizing II, draw
it forth TO iliUmine the dark places.
And her philosophy seems 10 have
brought her success. for nine years ago
she was playing an unimportant part in
the company OF which Amelia Bingham
was a member at the Academy OF Mu-
sic in New York Today she is at the
head Of her own company and is recoS-
nized as one of the talented young &C
trcsscs Of the American stage.
1t makes no difference what one s
station in life may be-" said Miss Bus
ley. If one is able 20 look with a smile
on the III things that come 10 one, Jnere

gambler who had ambition 10 win
the love Of a good woman, and VINO
found that she had placed her heart
elsewhere. He turned away and rum
mated, It's a good thing I've learned
TO lose and smile.
The chorus girl has just as much
trouble as the clergyman and she stands
an even chance with him IN winning 10
ultimate rewards As far as 1 nave

but what we make Of ourselves at the
finish. that counts IN the long run
There are just as many heartaches,
just as many disappointments, just as
much hard struggle, and just as much
beauty OF character 10 be found on the
stage. as in any other walk Of life
The only difference is that our troubles
mast never carry over the footlights-

Miss BusIey continued. and at the risk
Of talking about myself. ! may say that
while I was sure in my own mind that

WHERE GREAT LAWYERS FAIL

The fact that the most eminent lawyer
can not always be depended upon even
TO make his own will has been remarked
more than once since the successful con-
test to break the viii of Samuel J. Til
den Another instance in point came to
light last week when the generous pur-
pose Of the late Chief Justice PaXson. of
PENNSYLVANIA. was baked by a flaw in
the will which he himself had drawn.
He devised $l,500,OO0 to a charity for the
benefit OF boys. The intent was PLAN.
but the Will was invalidated and the
money went to the testator's relatives as
soon as it appeared that the document
had not been witnessed as required by
the Pennsylvania law. If a jurist of
such standing could not make his own
viii proof against contest the average
layman who intrusts such task to the
average lawyer may be pardoned for
feeling some doubt as 10 whether his
last will and testament will hold water.
