The Secret of Success.

Each life should become conscious
of its own Individuality and respon-
sibility, and poise itself on IT'S own
standing-ground. When a woman has
learned that the center of the universe
for her is where she stands, and has
thought of being, she will comprehend
that she can get no further than her
own limitations, and must be con
trolled more or less by her own en-
vironment. To quote from Persian
anthology: Scoop thou ever so deep
in river or fountain thou can'st but

The Statesman remarks that it is
a hard matter to vote a partially
crooked ticket straight, and it might
have added that chain can be no
stronger than its weakest link. The
element on the Republican ticket
which the statesman is fighting dom
mated the state convention and named
the entire ticket; therefore, as a
stream cannot rise higher than its
source, thinking people must conclude
that the Statesman does not go far
enough in its condemnation

The Statesman wants to see that

all DO, but dollars to doughnuts we
wont until after election. The Re
publican machine cannot take the
chance OF ieopardizing its ticket. The
state treasurership is one cog of the
machine, and, perfect or imperfect,
that cog must not be displaced. Gov

do nothing to disturb the equilibrium
of the Brady machine, of which he has
been such vital part during the past

that her victim quite overlooked the

Shirley was experimenting the an
snual charity bazaar and putting her
whole incautious. magnaniD Gus soul
into the task. but that was Shirley
every time.
And she had what she termed a
perfectly, splendidly unique" idea for
this particular bazaar. As soon as she
thought of it she called up each Of
the other girls on the committee by
telephone to tell them about it.

sToo much work." complained an
other.

you, Shirley. But you'll have to put

She had just executed her first vic

as he sprang from his car and helped
Shirley from hers. How do you do

Once inside the shop, Shirley asked

his exclusive personal attention his
expression of annoyance underwent an
instantaneous metamorphosis.

fairly beamed upon Shirley. But, then,
