WORKER MUST LOVE VOCATION.
First Requisite for the Attainment of
Success in Any Line.

A prime qualification for success in
any art, trade or profession is the
love of it, though love alone will by no
means bring success in it. The love
must be reciprocal; that is, the voca-
tion must desire its follower, for rea-
sons which must remain as much a
mystery to him as to any of his wit
nesses. "She was love-worthy," says
Helne, 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
desire for Journalism, but journal
ism will have no desire for him. un.
less he has the peculiar charm for it
which commands affection in all cases.
lie can only prove the fact by trying
ana by longing to try with a longing
that excludes the hope of every other
reward beside the favor of the art 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 it 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.

when we got the cages full of bulls
and started to haul the cages to camp
by the aid of some of the negroes who
had returned alive, by lingo, the COWS
followed the cages with the bulls in,
and you couldn't drive them away.
We loaded the gas bag on to a sort
of stone boat, and Pa rigged up a
couple Of OK yokes and in some way
hypnotized few cow buffalos, so he
could drive them, and they hauled the
stone boat with the airship to camp
and we got there almost as soon as the
cages did, and Pa was smoking as
contented as though he was walking on
Broadway, and with an OK gad he
would larrup the oxen and say: "Haw,
Buck" like farmer driving oxen to
plow a field. 7
Pa got his wild oxen so Iame be.
fore we got to camp that they would
eat hay out of his hand, and when
we rounded up in our permanent camp,
and looked over our stock, and killed
some of the buffalos that had followed
the cages, for meat for the negroes,
and lit some sky rockets and fired
them at the balance of the herd to
drive them away from camp, the ne
groes, who had always had horror
of meeting wild buffalos, thought Pa
was superior being, to be able to
tame a whole herd of the most savage
animals, and they got down on their
knees and placed their faces in the
dust In front of Pa and worshiped him,
and they wouldn't get up off the
ground until Pa had gone around and
put his feet on the necks of all the
negroes in token that he acknowl-
edged himself to be their king and pro-
tector, and the wives of the negroes
all threw their arms around Pa and
hugged him until he got tired, and he
said he had rather fight buffalos than
be hugged by half-naked negro wom-
en- that hadn't had bath since Stan
ley discovered them, but Pa appre-
ciated the honor, and Mr.. Hagenbach
said Pa was the greatest man in the
world.
The next day we shipped the buffa,
los to the coast, and had them sent
to Berlin, and when we got the mail
from headquarters there was an order
for lot more tigers, so l suppose we
will be tigering as soon as the open
season Is on.
The idea is that we must get all
the animals we can this year, for it Is
rumored that Roosevelt is coming to
Africa next year to shoot big game,
and all of us feel that wild animals
will be scarce after he has devastated
Africa.

"THE SOUTH POLE"
BY III. III. Hudson.


Now comes the extraordinary
story of the south pole. The crew
of an exploring party ran across
the hero of this sketch in the
South Pacific. about 500 miles
south of New Zealand on a small
island which is the home of pen
gums. sea birds and seals.
AS the ship drew near the is
land, hut was seen. A boat was
lowered. and a man came to the
beach, accompanied by two dogs.
1t was learned that he had been
a member of an expedition which
sailed south several years ago,
but had never been heard from.
His experience, which surpasses
the widest fancy, is here given in
his own words:
"Our boat was wrecked of

to the south of Australia and be-
yond the Antarctic ocean. Only

that terrible struggle lay before

an athlete, and was in perfect
trim. My two dogs were powerful
and were in excellent spirits.

glance at the wreckage, set my
teeth, and faced the unknown and
what l considered certain death.

Jacks mamma had found that
the bread dough soured that
morning, so she put 1t out in a
crock on the back step to wait till
she had time to throw it away.
In the emantime Jacks pony
was nibbling grass in the back
yard. When she saw the crock
on the lowest step she thought
maybe there's something good
to eat in It; IN go and see."
Up to the crook she went-it
smelled pretty good, so in went
her little black nose. 1t tasted
pretty good, but it was so STICKY
Just like soft taffy. The pony
planted her front feet on it to
hold it, when saucy fly bit her
and she swung her head around
to drive 1t away, and dropped
some of the white dough on her
black back.
BY this time she had pulled the
crock out In the yard. and her
two front legs and feet were all
covered with the dough. Her face
looked too funnl with big patches
of white sticking all over it. She
had eaten all she could, and pull
ed great deal of dough out on
the ground. She thought maybe
it would be nice to roll on, so
down she got and over she went.
Such a very mussy-looking pony!
But now she began to feel sick
and have the colly-wobbles in har
stomach just like little boys and
girls when they've been naughty
and eaten too much candy or
green apples. She whinni ID
loudly for Jack, and began in
earnest to roll on the ground.
Jacks mamma heard her, and
how she laughed when she opened
1.-THE door and saw the doughty
pony! She could tell that the pony
ha dstomach ache, SO she and
Jack gave the pony some medi-
icine.
Then when the pony felt bet
ter, Jack had to take soapsuds
and give her a bath. He told
her If she hadn't been so greedy
she wouldn't have been sick.
