There died the other day, in little
eastern village a remarkable man, whose
successful career Is q sufficient illustra-
ton Of the fact that greatness can be
achieved only by concentrating ones ef-
forts on a single thing.
This mans whskers were twelve feet
long Think OF twelve Of real whiskers
This man took up whiskers culture as his
life work more than forty years ago. lie
was a young man then, and like most
young men, he desired to distinguish him
self But all the avenues to greatness
seemed crowded. and greatness itself
seemed a relative term. 1t was impossible
to succeed 30 greatly in business, in law
in journalism, In any of the professions,
as to distance all others. This man wanted
to attain an unapproachable height, to do
something that no other man had ever
done. And while ne cast about for an OPP
portunity, his whiskers were growing
In those days most men wore wTskers,
and this observsnt young man noticed that
whiskers were much the same. One man
had red whiskers and anoher had black
whiskers, but third had sorrel whiskers
but they were all about the same length.
The chief difference was that some men
had a poor stand Profound thought con-
WINGED our hero that the possibilities In the
line Of whiskers had never been apprec-
lated. and he determined to achieve beard
that would go down in history as a hum
dinger.
having marked out a path for his feet
he never swerved from it. He devoted all
his attention to his whiskers. BY day he
anointed them, and sprayed them, and
kept the birds away in the cool Of the
evening no took his whiskers for an airing
in the shady lanes, where the air was
pure and wholesome. At night he kept his
whtskers in a sack so that they would not
be rumpled.
In the old days of the dime musee he was
always a star attraction. He sat on an
elevated chair. and his whiskers fell to
the floor IN graceful cascades, and were
strung out along the aisle. He received
more money than any OF the bearded ladies',
living skeletons or tatooed Greeks. such
attractions were common, but there was
only one man with twelve feet of whskers
He died rich, honored and respected, and
his whiskers were buried with him. His
career should be an incentive TO every young
man who complains that there are no OPP
portunities.-Emporia Ckan) Gazette.

Logan in Canada, just over the American

queror OF the Matterhorn in 1866, tried to
raise $4,000 for an expedition to ascend
Mount Everest, highest of all mountains
which as is well known, is barely over
ZSOO0 feet. His plan was to establish many
camps and live for little while at ZACH.
In order to become acclimated, and in his
view the attainment Of the summit by this
means was feasible. He did not succeed IN
raising the necessary funds and was forced
to relinquish his project The height NJ

There is no doubt that the Fairbanks ex

deliberate progress enabling them To he

ton OF the air. II is by some such pro-
