HOW TO AVOID FAILURE, -
BY AN EXPERT.

Senator McCaTen, the famous
Brooklyn Democrat, whose claim to
glory as a reformer is that he con
sistently fights all attempts OF Tam
many to take control of the gang and
graft on the Brooklyn side OF the
bridges, has been talking this week to
school children IN the borough which
he controls. He gave them a few
~axioms," as the New York papers
put it, and among them is this:
Failures come from not knowing
ourselves and in mistsking our life
work"
Senator McCarren was not talking
from bitter experience. Failure has
not come to him, for he did not mis-
take his life work Now and then he
has made unfortunate investments in
stock. but he has never been nagged
by his brokers, and as a rule he has
done fairly well.
Senator NlcCarren knows himself lie
knows the game. 1t IS charged against
him that he goes to Albany to repre-
sent the Interests" rather than his
constituents, but apparently his con
stituents like that kind of representa-
ton. It must be interesting to heal
him give advice to school children. Be
ing a grave man, naturally, and one
who never laughs at his own jokes, We
can understand that he must make con
siderable of an impression on the
younger children.

ONE MORE CHANCE AT SUGAR
TRUSTS PROTECTION.

In a very few DAYS now the tariff
bin, which has been for three months
under consideration in the Senate
Committee of the Whole, viii appear
in the Senate. There will then be
presented one last opportunity for the
Senate TO do itself and Congress and
The nation Justice in the matter of the
schedule which gives life and huge
profits and the privilege Of extortion to
the Sugar trust; which clothes that
wicked combination with the power TO
control the price Of one of the most
important necessaries of life; which is
the real incentive TO the complexity OF
crime and subterfUge and fraud prac-
tieed by the benefciaries Of excessive
protection.
Months ago this newspaper under
took to demonstrate to the Senate and
TO the country wherein lies the real
protection of the Sugar trust. 1t was
demonstrated that it lies in the clause
mot above No TO Dutch standard in
color" That demonstration was made
so complete, so convincing, so con
elusive. that the Senate was forced to
vote on an amendment offered by Mr.,
Bristow, to strike out ehe Dutch stan
dard clause. Before the vote was taken
there was debate occupying several
DAYS. in which the whole case was laid
before the Senate. There was no room
for uncertainty A score Of Senators
who voted against the Bristow amend
ment have since admitted that the
amendment was right and ought Il
have passed. They excused their vote
against it by saying in substance tina
they couldn't help themselves; Aid
rich had them and their especial hom
interests in his power and he Insiste,
that that amendment should be de
foated"
OF course he did. Aldrich and suga
have been associated in so many IN
sayory relations to tariff making tina
it would seem as if self -respectin
legislators might wish to avoid part
nership IN the association.
But the opportunity is at hand {
right the wrong then done in rejectin
this amendment 1t must be voted upo
again in the Senate proper, and tina

PUBLICITY ARTISTS WHO ARE
NOT UP TO FORM.

The Coney Island press agents are
not in good form this season. Some
Of their stunts are unworthy of the
name. and Others must be eharitably
attributed to the unusually early sea
son and the anxiety caused by con-
slant doubt Is to whether the lid is
to be on or of when Sunday comes.
This week one Of the press agents
resorted To that venerable tale of the
female snake charmer who is bitten
by a python. 1t is one of the classics
of press agent literature, but it should
rot be used except for reference. And
it should be handled carefully, even
reverently. What, then, shall be said
of this treatment;
In the middle of the exhibition, and
when the great python was cOiled
about Matihara's body and arms. \
struck its fangs into her left shout
der and then dragged them down 10
her elbow, opening a Iong cash.
That is where the press agent failed
lamentably. He should have said that
the python's fangs were twined around
razor. which it used with terrible
effect. But this is even worse:
In a short time her arm and shout
dar had swollen to twice their natural
size. bat as the python is not 9

danger of failing. that God may help

danger of failing. that God may help us the more.
 The encouragement of the text; l am glad that the Apostle put in these last words, For it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure There is a world of meaning in those words, I can do all things through Christ who strength eneth me- God is in us; God is with us; God is willing to help us in the doing of what is good. We are sure that we are to win the victory if God is in us. The reason for our failure so often is that we do not realize that we are children of the King, that we are following a divine Captain. Our Master asks us to follow him. He does not ask us to go anywhere, to do any thing that He is no familiar with from His own experience. So it becomes us. as the saved of God, to say to the One who goes before us. Lead me on, lead me on"

the same time must work out his edu-
 cation or it will never be his. The
 man who is not working out his sal
 vation is like the man who has the
 lumber and other materials for his
 house, but has not yet built the house.
 When night comes he may crawl un
 der the pile of lumber and think he
 is in his house. but we know he must
 work 1t out before he has a house. We
 should take the gift that is given us and work it out. Why does God ask
 us to work out our salN ation? He does
 it that We may grow more and more like Him. Growth comes as the result of practice. No one doubts that for single moment. It is as true in the spiritual life as in the physical life. Then God asks us to work out our own salvation that we may have the assurance that we are saved. Who are they whose faith is strong and who are conscious of the fact that they are children of the King? They are they who work most at those things which are given by the Master to be done. Paul said again and again I know and in all his life, from the day he journeyed toward Damascus, no one was more busy than he with the work of God. Then God asks us to work out our own salvation that we may know the joy of service. We admit that there is nothing that gives truer joy than doing things for others. There is no service that gives greater joy than the pointing of others to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world
 The warning, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling The Apostle does not mean that we are to have a slavish fear. He means that we are to be, concerned that We may please God, that we may make the most of the privileges that He gives us. The pilot guides the ship with that he may guide it safely past the dangers. Go on in the doing of Gods work, conscious of the

INDIAN MARATHON
 RUNNER IS FAST
Tears Off Thirteen Miles in Seventy seven minutes-A Dark Team of Horses.

The athletic team that will repre- sent the Phoenix high school at Los Angeles, in the coming meet there during the Elks' convention, will sure -ly carry home a few scalps, if pres ent indications mean anything. The three Indian boys are doing wonderful work under the training of John Lewis. especially Harry Mclean, who tore off 13 miles yesterday afternoon in 77 minutes, and was in perfect condition for the other 13, had Lewis allowed him to continue. McLean>is in the pink of condition, his body a network of muscles trained to the . minute and void of nerves. Some one has called him the Indian without lungs, and it almost seems so, for after tearing off five, ten or thir- miles at a minute and 25 second clip he returned to. his quarters, not even panting The secret of it is that he has struck his pace, pace that in all probability is not equalled anywehere in the west Trainer Lewis will not allow his Marathon runner to go the limit, or reach his reserve IO1ceI put IS notolhB nm back for the event at Los Angeles.

 The other two Indian boys, Manuel Parsisk, and Chaff Ponsol, are doing stunts equal to their Indian brother. They both ran the three miles yester- day, Ponsol making the better time of the two, as Parsisk was breaking in new pair of shoes, blisters mak- ing him slow down in the last mile.

taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to see what it would do, and I am restored to my natural health. Mrs. ETTA DONOVAN, Box 299, Willimantic, Conn.
 The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be used with perfect confidence by women who suffer from displacements, infam- nation. alteration, fibroid tumors, ir- regularities, periodic pains, backache. bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indi- gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra- tiOn.
 For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills, and suffering women owe it to themselves to at least give this medicine a trial. Proof is abundant that it has cured thousands of others and why should it not cure you?
