WHAT CONSTITUTES SUCCESS ?

II yon ask hundred men the ques-
ton, What constitutes success?" the
chances are that zach will give differ
ent answer. One man will think that
accommodating wealth is a success, an
other securing great honors, another
filling political Offices, another becom-
ing great preacher, etc. What one
man calls success, another will think q
failure.
Some months ago Boston firm offer
ed reward of $3.50 to the person who
would give the best answer to the above
question. The prize was awarded to
Mrs. A. ]. Stanley, Of Lincoln, Kansas
This is her answer to the question:
He has achieved success who has
lived we'll, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task who has left the
world better than he found it, whether
by an improved poppy, perfect poem
or rescued soul; who has never lacked
appreciation of earth's beauty or failed
to express it; who has always looked
for the best in others and given the best
he had whose life was an inspiration +;
whose memory benediction.
This Kansas lady possesses the soul
of poet and the mind Of sage. She
has expressed wisdom most beautifully,
and she deserved the reward.

HE PROVED 1T.

The Atlanta Journal demanded of the
Rome Tribune the proof Of its assertion
that Governor Smith made war on in
vested capital in Georgia.
The Rome Tribune says:
Read from Mr. Smiths speech at
Madison, Ca, June 20, 1905, as it ap-
peared in the pages of the Journal OF
| that date. Said he: "Let US demand
that legislation be passed which will
prevent the operation of railroads in
Georgia by foreign corporations. Ii,
however, we forbid the operation Of
railroads in Georgia by foreign corpora
tions, or by nonresident citizens, those
foreign corporations which own the rail-
roads will be forced to sell them"
Now, what? If you were Don-resi-
dent Of Georgia end owned stock in one
OF these railroads, and the governor
should demand of the legislature the
passage Of such an act, wouldn't you
take it as invitations to skiddoo with
your capital-forced to sell at any price
that you could get-or would you take
the other alternative and leave it here,
without the right to manage it your
self-turn it over to others-to a rail-
road commission appointed by the self
same governor, with plenary power
under special act Of the legislature
giving the power-we will not say the
right-to fix the income by lowering
the freight and passenger rates to q
minimum, below any reasonable hope
or prospect Of earnings upon the invest
ment or for the necessary daily re-
pairs?

G. K. Holmes, chief of the division Of
foreign markets of the Department of

horses for farm and other business uses
