WORKER MUST LOVE VOCATION.
First Requisite Tor the Attainment Of
Success in Any Line.

A prime qualification for success in
any art. trade or profession is the
love Of 1t, though love alone will by no
means bring success in 1t. The love
must be reciprocal; that is, the voca-
ton must desire its follower, for rea-
sons which must remain as much q
mystery to him as to any of his wit
nesses. She was love-worthy." says
Heine, in treating Of = more passional
case, "and he loved her; but he was
not Noteworthy, and she loved him
not" The fond youth, university bred
or self-made. may have ever so great
a desire for journalism, but journal
ism will have no desire for him, un.
less he has the peculiar charm for 1t
which commands affection in all cases.
He can only prove the fact by trying
and by longing to try with a longing
that excludes the hope of every other
reward beside the favor of the ort he
wishes to espouse. Riches, fame.
power may be in the event, but they
are not to be in the quest. The wish
to succeed in it for its own sake must
be his first motive. and the sense Of
success in 1t must be left to add them
selves, without his striving for them.
So far as he strives for them. they will
alloy and dilute his journalistic sue

Nashville, Tenn, March 5.-A protest
of the jury against the delays in the
CooperSharp trial for the murder of
former Senator E. W. Carmack had an
appreciable effect upon counsel on both
sides today and they used every en-
deavor to rush the trial Charlie Carroll

nation confused the witness somewhat
as to the exact time of the CONVERSE
ton which the witness said occurred
on the day of the tragedy.
Benning had previously testified that
he saw the shooting.
George Carroll, brother of Charlie,
was next called. The defense made a
desperate but unsuccessful effort to pre-
vent Carroll from corroborating his
brother. George Carroll repeated prac-
tically what his brother had told.
George Wooley was called by the state
to testify as to the location of the two
telephone poles at the scene of the trag-
edy. The object was to pave the way
for the introduction of a photograph
taken by the state of the pole still
standing, together with the dummy
erected to represent the pole that has
been removed. The defense objected
bitterly to this testimony.

DAYLIGHT SAVING BILL.
England Plans to Lengthen the Sunlit
Day by Law.

London, March 5.-The daylight
savings bill passed its second reading
in the house of commons today, 100
votes to "a.
This bin was drafted to promote
the earlier use of daylight in certain
months yearly by putting forward the
clock twenty minutes on successive
Sundays in April and reversing the
process on the four Sundays in Sep
tember The bill, it has been argued,
would be of great benefit to all classes
by giving the people just SO much
more sunlight in which to have re-
creation, while the wage Garner would
retire earlier and thereby save the ex-
pense of light.
