The Secret of Success.

The secret Of success is not a Sc
cret. Nor is it something hard to
secure. To become more successful
become more efficient.
Do what you can do, and what you
should do, for the institution for
which you are working; and do it in
the right way, and the size Of your
income will take care Of ITSELF Let
your aim ever be to better the work
you are doing. But remember, al
ways, that you cannot better the
work you are doing without better
ing yourself.
The thoughts that you think, the
books and magazines you read, the
words that you speak and the deeds
you perform are making you either
better or worse. Realize that "you
are the master of your own fate,
and the captain of your own soul. y
You can be what you will be.
Keep watch on the men and women
who are doing quality work. "Ex-
ample is always more efficacious
than precept';; and if you realize
the work and methods of those who
are doing quality work, you will re-
ceive inspiration that will increase
your efficiency.-Thomas Dreier.

ONE Big FOOL
But He Doesn't Live In Scotland Neck
Nor Read The Commonwealth.

A man in Connecticut gave a doc
tor, specialist in catarrh, $50 to
cure him of this common yet most
obnoxious disease.
The specialist gave him a bottle of
medicine and told him when and how
to use it.
The fool took the medicine home,
took one dose, put it on shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions.
Three months later with the med
icine still on the shelf he told q
friend that the specialist was fake;
that he had paid him $50 and still
mad catarrh as bad as ever.

The AIRSHlP II! VAR.
All Countries But The United States
Are Preparing Defense.

All the military authorities of the
world fully expect that when the
next war comes airships will be put
into service with convincingly dead.
ly effect. 1t may be that the dirigi-
BILE balloon will be used more exten.
sively than the aeroplane, and this
is the more likely to be the case if
war should come quickly. 1t makes
little difference which type of ma
chine is used, for the results are ex-
pected to be the same.
Congress has refused to appropri-
ate one cent for the proner develop
ment of the aeroplane practice and
experiment by the army of the
United States. The cne machine
which the army has was bought with
money obtained from the fortifica-
tions fund. England, Germany,
France, and other countries have
appropriated large sums to enable
their armies to meet other armies
on equal terms in case the flying
machine shall become factor in
warfare.
1t is not probable that the United
States is going to have a war. The
same improbability of conflict exist
ed in the year 1897. In a year there
after the Spanish war had begun.
The army was not properly prepar-
ed to go into the field. When Cap
ron's battery opened fire on the
Spaniards in front of Santiago, it
was instantly enshrouded in smoke.
The battery had black powder in its
timber. chests. The Spaniards re-
turned the fire with smokeless pow
der and the position of their battery
could not be located. The national
guardsmen who went to Cuba in
1898 had the old Springfield model
single-fire rifle, and the cartridges
contained black powder. The lack
of preparedness cost the United
States dear.
No one wants to have war and no
one wants to spend money uselessIy
in preparation for it, but it remains
true that a few thousand dollars
spent in a time of peace may save
millions Of dollars, to say nothing of
the saving of ..l-r,1zn 'i'.1 q = time
when wax does come. The country
has a specially trained corps IF men
ready to undertake the WorE Of de-
velopment of the newest engine of
offense, but for lack OF funds there
must be idleness in camp. In a large
sense an appropriation for the army
is an appropriation for the country.
The aeroplane as an engine of war
fare probably has come to stay, and
all the great legislatures of the
world, except the Congress of the
United States, know it.-Chicago
