PEOPLE WHO SUCCEED.
They Have Very High Sense o.
the Way to Do Things.

They Have a Very High Sense Of
the Way to Do Things.
II there is that in your nature which
demands the best and will take moth
ing less and you do not demoralize this
standard by the habit of deterioration
in everything you do. you will achieve
distinction in some line IL you have the
persistence and determination to fol-
low your ideal.
But il you are satisfied with the
cheap and shoddy. the botched and
slovenly. if you are not particular
about quality in your work or in your
environment or in your personal habits.
then you must expect to take second
place, to fall back into the rear OF the
procession.
People who have accomplished work
worth while have had a very high sense
Of the way to do things. They have
not been content with mediocrity: they
have not confined themselves to th>
beaten tracks; they have never been
satisfied to do things just as others do
them. but always 4 little better. They
always pushed things that came to
their hands little higher up. a little
farther on. 1t Is this little higher up,
this little farther on. that counts in the
quality Of LIES work It is the con-
slant effort to be first class In every
thing one attempts that conquers the
heights OF eSca.ience.-SucceSS.

VALUE OF LAUGHTER.

Many . Political Coup Has Been
Won by Means of Hilarity.
1t is just because laughter is so thor
oughly human that 1t always touches
a respective chord in the heart. People
who are impelled to laugh together
find it difficult to harbor any senti-
ments of resentment toward one an
other. Laughter drives away irrita-
ton. To laugh at thing and at the
same time to be seriously angry is al
most an impossibility, and many a
political coup has been won by means
Of hilarity. says the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
The third Napaleon's advent to the
throne was signalized by much blood
shed, but in spite even of this the
people became reconciled to the new
regime by the amusing and ingenious
fashion in which on the morning Of
the fateful Dec. 2 the placards and
posters bearing the watchwords of re-
publicanism were found to have been
metamorphosed into imperial NANTES
toes.
The way In which 1t had been done
excited such hearty laughter that the
peoples anger was to a great extent
appeased. A people that are prone to
laughter are much more easy to rule
than nation which takes a too serious
view of life. and in the same way a
government that has a sense of humor
is certain to prove more popular than
one that is DULY stern.

OF property destroyed, Is the latest es-
Innate Of the floods, caused by a sud
den rise of the Santa Catarina river
at Monterey. All Americans are re-

river today is within its banks and
conditions are improving. The searcl.

communication is greatly impeded.
While the work of rescue is going
forward today in the vast area ravag-
ed by the West Indian tornado, and its
accompanying cloudburst. reports Of
greater loss of life keep coming in
from every section of the devastated
zone.
10000 Homeless.
Upwards of 10000 are homeless.
Families are living on roofs of SUBJ

death.
An area Of thousands of square miles
extending from Mattamoras to Tore

Men and women and children are

Bridges have been swept away. Tele-

Hard to Make Estimate.
It is impossible to estimate the prop

from $1,000 900 to $15.O0O.GO0.
The damage done in the district
stretching from the mouth of the Rio

In the Monterey district alone the
loss Of life is believed to have been
more than 1900. Many smaller
towns are completely wiped off the
map. In Monterey today there is
nothing to mark the spot where manu-

head Bay Fall race meet opened today
with the running of the classic F>utu-
rity, worth more than $4,000, the
richest 2-year-old stake run on the
American turf. Seldom has public in

with lack of public betting.

breeders and owners are all anxious
to win. The sum going to the win

According to tn calculations of close
observers of racing form, James r.
Keene's superb colts Grassmere, and
Sweep were the two likeliest of the
starters. Coupled in the betting
they were favorites at 2 to 1.
AS the day grew older it became ev-
ident that one of the largest crowds
ever seen at an Eastern race course
would see the thoroughbreds dash
away from the barrier.

So brilliant has been the light of

are visible and it is easy to distinguish

turned their presto-light tanks off.
