SUCCESS TURNS MANY HEADS
average Man Assumes an Importance
to Which He Actually Is Not
Entitled.

1t Is rather a remarkable illustra
ton of the weakness of our nature that
there should be 50 many persons
whose heads are completely turned by
attaining even the slightest degree of
success. Instead of realizing that the
achievement which won him fame Is a
thing OF the past and therefore buried
IN oblivion, except to those nearest to
MIN, the average man imbibes a good
~ portion of self-satisfaction and
drinks to his own conceit. His one sue
cess looms very large upon his narrow
horizon, and the temporary adulation
OF a tickle public magnifies It's proper
lions and appears to give him an i'm
portance not really his due. This self.
Importance is apt to be reflected in all
his further efforts, II indeed it does
not forbid effort Of any sort, and once
man becomes obsessed with an exag-
gerated idea of his attainments there
Is small chance of his ever duplicating
those attainments. 1t Is just here,
however, that so many persons make
the mistake of their ives by believing
that having once established record
for themselves there Is no need to
live up to It, II they could only forget
their successes, or hide them away in
the dim places of their own minds to
he peeped at only for inspiration, their
self-aggrandizement would give way to
a correct valuation OF their ability,
which would go far toward helping
them to new accomplishments. A
mans most serious thoughts should be
OF what is to come, Of what he is to do
In the future, not of what is passed or
OF what he has already accomplished

roared again and again, and in the
brief intervals we heard the weak but
very furious yapping of the dog. The
Nasal stood, every nerve tingling,

Suddenly the lion dashed through

teeth embedded in its tail. Three
spears were hurled at the escaping
beast with such accuracy that they all
trans6xed the heart and the lion fell
dead. You must know that the skin
OF the lion belongs, according to local
custom, not to the warrior whose
spear inf1icts a fatal wound, but to
the man who first rushes IN and cuts
off the black tip from the tail.
Two of the three spearmen dashed
into the donga, but they found Simba
with the black tip still between her
teeth, resolutely determined to oppose
any hostile claim. The spearmen, who
were lost in admiration, agreed that
the skin belonged by right of seizure
