SUCCESS.

"success. Elusive. intangible.
Protean, battling. Success. Some
times it comes blazonly, ribald, out
of place, like cleaning solitaire
on the soiled shirt of a miner. Some
times it comes after years of toll and
turmoil, is clasped with wild reioic-
ings, until the mask is lifted and one
sees before him only death, defeat and
degradation. Sometimes it sparkles
like champagne and CLEANS on jewelled
arms and whispers, amidst rustling
silks, song of pleasure. Some
times it comes in the guise of eor-
row and defeat. unwelcomed, UNI
honored ard unsung. thing of rags
and tatters, apparently the epitome
of Failure but in fact the apothe osis
of Success.
Moore of the Rock Island thought
he was success. How many labor
ers, failures, all of them, according to
the worlds reckoning. toiling in the
sun and storm. worked day by day to
earn that s1OO. 100 which he lightly
gave as a birthday present to his son.
The story of the misspent years. fos-
tered by that fathers success, the
death in brothel. surrounded by the
absolute and the debauched. Ia
Moore success?
The girl. the daughter of Million
aires. raised in q dollhouse, exotic,
unbalanced, hypo. finds joy in cheap
boarding house in the company of
an elderly waiter. Of what value
to her is the success wrought by
her parents, and was their success a
success?
Success, on the other hand. is not
improvidence. 1t is not true that the
rich man is necessarily failure and
the poor man a success, any more
than that the reverse is the case.
1t is only egotism which prompts us
to belittle the achievements Of others.
Stevenson said, "have known what
Joy is, for l have done good work. :"
Is not that measure Of success? To
do we'll the work of the day. To
love your work for the works sake.
10 rejoice with each finished task
that it has been the best that you
could do? Is that not measure of
success? 1t was indeed philosopher
who told the ancient king, Count
no man happy, until We know the
manner of his death.
Be not therefore unduly elated by
Success, mayhap it is but mirage,
that will turn to Dead sea fruit upon
the tongue, neither be too downcast
by defeat, for the stone that was
rejected became the corner stone. of
the building. and it was the lamb
that was lost that received the Sheph-
ards tenderest care.
| Success is, as rule. SO blatant. SO
self-suficient. so thoroughly in love
with itself that advice is gratuitous
and praise unnecessary. But to the
failures we would say word. Don't
you believe word of it. You are
not failure unless you will yourself

APPOINTMENT OF
DOG-CATCHER IS
VETOED BY MAYOR
Orange Executive Thinks Posi-
ton Unnecessary and Would
Mean Money Wasted.

Mayor Arthur b Seymour today
again vetoed the appointment OF an
assistant ~dog-catcher for the city. send
ms his disapproval to City Clerk VIII
lett r. Gano in this message:
II hereby return without my approval
resolution passed by your honorable
body May Is. 1910, appointing Calvin
w. Gordon as a temporary assistant to
the dog warden at a compensation of
s12 per week.
My reason for not approving this
resolution Is that L consider such an
appointment to be unnecessary and a
waste of n Last year. with an
assistant to aid him, the report of the
work of the dog warden was that about
53S dogs were killed and s14 licensed.
Up to this date T15 licenses have been
issued and 115 dogs have been killed.
You will therefore see that reasoning
from the figures of last year there Is
not much work for the dog warden
himself to do, and no reason for IN
ploying an assistant.
"All the policemen On the police force
have been assisting the dog warden in
his duties by reporting to the police jun-
tice the names OF residehts who own or
harbor dogs without licenses. and such
residents have been compelled to appear
before the police justice and pay the
license fee. 1t seems to me that under
the circumstances there is hardly any
necessity for even the retention of the
dog warden. inasmuch as it has been
more through the work of the police de-.
partment than his work that a large
number of licenses have been issued
this year.
"If the present dog warden is to De
