Stories of Success Winners

see. Result--he is today, and has been
for several years, secretary OF the BIZ
mingham Fertilizer company, one Of the
important corporations of Birmingham,
and has a safeguarding power which
many men 10 and 20 years his seniors
in age and work have not gained yet,
and probably never will.
Mr.. Gore heard the sub-note OF that
call of Birmingham to HINT was, Get
ready when you get here" That is wfat
I meant by saying he interpreted the call
right. His first step when he reached
Birmingham was to enter the Wheeler
Business college and take course IN
shorthand and typewriting. Then he had
a weapon with which to fight his way up.
and he started to do so forthwith, the
college having secured him position
with the Birmingham Fertilizer COM
pany. His salary at the start was small
indeed, compared with what he is earn
ing today but his rise from that humble
position to the office which he now holds
has been an unbroken series of ad-
vances.
Many times in the course of these years
venture to say Mr. Gore has had tempt
ing offers to go elsewhere, and has shut
his eyes to these lures from the out
side and plowed straight, honorable fur-
row, trusting to his company for recog-
milton and reward. AnC, VI Soul &c, iiS
got it-much sooner and in larger meas
ure than he would If he had jumped from
employer to employer at the bait of "a
little more money" And it is no shrewd
guess to say his services are still hidden
for by other companies. But good men, ike
Mr.. Gore, who are always at a pre-
MUM, look twice or thrice before they
leap. Their restraint is not excessive
caution, but the spirit of loyalty which
makes them invaluable
In the light of the foregoing 1t is easy
to see that the qualities which have made
a success-winner of Mr.. Gore are fore
sight and steadfastness. He brought
trained mind and hand to his nrst work
and he has stuck to the company wnicn
gave him that work. His career proves
the fallacy of the threadbare assertion
that merit and fidelity are not appre-
ciated and never get their just dues.
And. like all men who have earned
appreciation, Mr.. Gore is appreciative'

and passionate personality in tho world,
whether of life or letters-because, too,
there are certain lessons which the Eng
lish will learn from Shakespeare more
quickly and easily than from any living
man. and little because I want to get
rid Of Shakespeare by assimilatiing all
that was fine in him, while giving all
that was common and vicious in him as
spoil to oblivion"
Mr.. Harris claims that we are wrong
ing ourselves by pretending that Shakes
peare "out-tops knowledge" for Mr.. Har-
ris claims that Shakespeare did not even
fill the world in his own time; there was
room beside him in the days of Elizabeth
for Marlowe, Spenser, Bacon and Ben
Jonson.
Mr.. Harris maintains that Hamlet was
the most complex and tho most profound
Of Shakespeare's creations. and that In
Hamlet Shakespeare revealed most of
himself That whenever Shakespeare fell
out of character he was drawing, he
unconsciously dropped into the Hamlet
vein. Repeatedly, says Mr.. Harris, In
drawing characters, Shakespeare did
nothing but paint Hamlet over again, trait
by trait virtue by virtue, fault by fault
Mr. Harris argues that a dramatist only
makes this mistake when he Is speaking
unconsciously In his own person.
Romeo, says Mr.. Harris, is the younger
brother of Hamlet; that he is half-hidden
from us in a rose-mist of passion. and
that after he Is banished from Juliet's
arms we see him only for moment as
he rushes madly into never-endiing night.
Seven years after writing Romeo and
Juliet" Mr.. Harris says that Shakes
peare embodies the changes In his own
character in the melancholy Jaques, who
is world-weary student Of life. as HAM
let is, with lightning quick intelligence
and heavy heart. Mr.. Harris says that
everywhere in Shakespeare Hamlet stares
at u.s. And that the only possible explain
alton seems to be that he IL speaking
from his own heart That the Hamlet
strain is strongly pronounced In Mac
beth" Macbeth, too has Hamlets pc
culiar and exquisite fairness. quality
seldom found in a ruthless murderer; In
fact, Mr.. Harris believes that Hamlet Is
far more clearly sketchel in the first act
of Macbeth than in the first act OF
Hamlet" Just as Romeo Is younger
than Hamlet; in him melancholy u deep
ened his tone is more pessimistic and his
heart gentler. Mr.. Harris also discovers
in the Duke yicentio and in the postum
mus pale portraits of the obese and sor-
rowful Dane. In both these characters

that Shakespeare was more irresolue and

In Lear, Mr.. Harris claims that Shkes-
peare had brooded and ragged to madess;
IN Tinon he had spent himself in hpo-
tent cursings. That Shakespeare was

growth had left him. That passion pre-
