CHAPLAIN'S CHAPEL.


It is rough on a farmer to lose mule
in these days, as they cost about two hum
dred dollars to replace one but Z. F.
Welch had that experience last week.
The acreage of COW peas in this section
will be very large, even if the cost OF seed Is
away beyond the average of former years.

A change has been made in the mail
route by which we got service OF th'
mails. 1t formerly came from Ellendalt
to Chaplain's, but because of the failure
of the people on that route to receive sui
ficient quantity of mail to justify the ser
vice, the government has discontinued
the route from Glendale. The same de
liveryman has had a new route laid of
and it starts from Bridgeville and covers
part Of the old route, including this
place. Mr.. Coverdale, the mail carrier
likes the change very much on account oI
the excellent school advantages for his
children.
Much complaint is heard from the
farmers wives about bad luck with young

weather has had much to do with theil
troubles.

ing the wheat rapidly, and bringing the

General Kuropatkin's book, when Is
the history of colossal failure, sug-
gests some reflections on military fall
ures and failures In general. There
Is such thing as a success which does
not succeed, and there Is such a thing
as q failure which does not fail. Ma
poleon Is credited with the remark,
Zone or two more victories like that
and 1 am ruined" and the most brill
liant generalship of all may consist in
repeated retreats, which are nothing
more than repeated failures. The
American revolutionary war was, on
the American side, a series of failures
constituting in the aggregate complete
success. In some cases failure In the
end sought entails success In some
thing greater. 1t has been said that
mo failure is excusable," but IL that
is true at all 1t must be In some para
doxical sense. History is full Of fail
ures which have not only been excus-
able but which were so sublime In
their merit that the world will never
cease to praise them in history, po-
etry and song. Some have failed rath-
er than do something dishonorable and
er than do something fashionable and
many because with Spartan heroism
they obeyed the orders of imbecile or
drunken .superiors. The only failures
that are real calamities are failures in
the attempt to do something wrong.
When nations or individuals get up
schemes Of plumber, by treachery or
by brute force, and are beaten their
failure is an unmitigated evil, because
they cannot fall back either on their
self-respect or the sympathy of others.
That is what makes Kuropatkin's fall
ure bitter, Russia had deliberately
formed scheme for the absorption of
China by dishonest intrigue and
stealthy encroachments 1t was a rob-
bers enterprise and when 1t failed the
whole world rejoced and there was
no silver lining whatever to the cloud
of failure. The world, as a general
thing, Is extremely cold toward people
who fail and warmly appreciative of
those who succeed. Nothing succeeds
like success" 1t is said. In the long
run this is good rule. In selecting
men for important positions 1t is GER
tainly safer to choose those who have
been successful in similar position
or at least In some position. That this
rule is infallible is a great mistake.
Success may be accidental, undeserv-
ed or falsely credited, just as failure
may be, and some of the greatest fail
ures ever made in war, In business,
in diplomacy, In science, In literature
or anything else have been made by
so-called successful men.

1t is to creative literary work that
the President turns for relaxation, and
for a respite from the responsibilities
and worries of his great office; of these
the general public can form no appre-
citation. Some notion Of the militant
forces with which 1t has to contend
was furnished at the close of the Presi-
dents great fight to secure justice to
all shippers alike, and to the travelling
public, on the great highways of com
merce. The Railroad Rate Bill was
ready for passage in the upper house
Of Congress, when Senator Tillman dis
closed the fact that the President,
through ex-senator Chandler, had been
carrying on secret negotiations with
the Democrats Of the Senate. Charges
were made, and promptly denied from
the White House, that the President
had turned his back on certain Repub-
llcans of the Senate. A merry shindy
seemed imminent but, after issuing his
temperate statement, the President re-
mained silent. Why he was able to
keep still Is now known.
Having made public his statement,
the President said to his secretary, Mr..
Loeb: I'VE are now in for weeks
