Pat Henry in short but eloquent talk
which vase warmly applauded. Mr..
Percy then took the stand and talked fol
some time.
His speech was along the line of his
campaign address at Antioch. The speak
err paid glowing tribute to the many
noble qualities of the man whose toga he
now wears-the late Eenator A. ]. Nc
Laurin-which was greeted with an out
burst of applause. He also made refer
ence to some of the later incidents of the
campaign, especially the Rose Hill occur
renee, saying that ex-governor Vardaman

consider the day a great success.

He had been happy for she was

He was a musician. Music to him

he wandered to the piano and

the grief of his heart.

The popularity Of Tolstoy often
brought him into comical situations
which he himself would tell about
afterward. One incident, noted In 2.
A. Sergeyenko's "How Tolstoy Lives
and Works." will bear repetition.
One day In Moscow he was walking
along q narrow sidewalk when an In
toxicated man crawled, staggering
along, to meet him. When the stran'
ger caught sight OF Leo Nikolaevitch
he came to anchor, as 1t were, and with
twisting tongue inquired:

and developes them.
Anyway. we like the successful
man, And If we want something
in his line we want him to have
the doing of it. Success is mag
netic.
And yet, success is not always
success. Sometimes it is failure,
miserable failure.
For, you know, there is success
and another success.
Morgan is a success-a success
that is a FAILURE.
Judge Lindsey is a success-a
REAL success.
J. A. Wayland, the Socialist, was
failure-yet he is success.
Thomas A. Edison is success.
So. success in sometimes appar-
ant and again it is hidden.
Usually we never know until a
generation or two after his death
whether a man was success or a
failure.
Success is an expansive term.
To you success means what you
WANT TO BE. Really successful
life is useful lie.
Wealth does not spell success.
Nor does fame.
Or honor.
But good work honestly done, is
really success.
Probably the world says you are
failure. You know.
When you were young, you had
in your mind very clearly defined
idea of success.
Did time alter that conception?
Experience usually does, But ex-
perience should not destroy it en-
tirely. 1t should give the ideal
FORM.
Be slow to accept as your STAN
dard the worlds idea Of success.

One night in the desert, Moham-
med and one of his followers came
to an oasis and haulted for the
night. AS they dismounted, Mo-
hammed's follower said:
L will loose my camel and trust
him to Allah.
May, my friend, replied Mo-
manned, ''tie thy camel and trust
him to Allah"
Do you ever take stock?
Try it sometimes.
Size yourself up. Not your out
side appearance. That doesn't
count much.
Take a peep at your mind. How
does it look? Need busting ?There
in one corner is a heap of hate. You
have been hating him many years
Has it done you any good? Made
your life any better or happier?
Nix. Clear it out, it's rubbish.
Man is limited in capacity. One
can not do everything at once. If
he expends his energy doing this,
that must remain undone. The
talker talks. He doesn't do much
else. And while he talks he does
not think or listen. If he contin-
ues to talk, he must soon repeat
or say empty and silly things.
Don't expect the talker to work
much. He can't, because he must
talk. He can't do both.

Here are some particulars of what

is to be. The informant, who contributes
them to the Figaro. writes with great
enthusiasm. which is not surprising, as
he is Signor d'Annunzio's manager, Mr..
J. Shurmann. the impresario. The
Festal Theater is to be entirely of iron,
he tells us. This does not sound par
ticularly festive or cool. but the reason
is that the d'Annunzio playhouse is to
be portable. In seven days it can be
taken to pieces. packed up and conveyed
anywhere, and it can be put up again
in the same time. This property of the
Festal Theater is the more remarkable
because it is to seat $500 spectators. 1t

Dow B. Hughes is the inventor Of a
new system of ignition for explosive gas
engines which makes possible the i'm
possible" in that it gives a low tension
Jump spark. The invention applies a
new principle in electrics by combining
high frequency and low tension currents.
When the two currents are combined the
high frequency. which is remarkable for
It's Jumping tendency, bridges the
spark plug gap and carries with it the
low tension current. the latter flaring into
a fat" spark of intense heat
Ordinarily a high tension jump spark
produced by a current of $4,000 or more
volts is used in automobile engines. The
high frequency current used in the new
system is an alternating current with an
enormous number of oscillations per sec

jumps to the fingers is felt no more than
would be light contact with a feather
1t is with this type Of current that Nicola

from the high tension form of current.
