Success Turns Manv Heads

1t is rather a remarkable uluStr
ton of the weakness Of our natu
that there should be so many perso
whose heads are completely turn
by attaining even the slightest {
rec of success. Instead of real
.lg that the achievement which W
him fame is a thing Of the past, a
therefore buried in oblivion, exec
to those nearest to him, the avera
nan imbibes a goodly portion Of Sc
satisfaction and drinks to his o.
;Onceit. His one success looms We
large upon his narrow horizon, a
.he temporary adulation OF a ficb
public magnifies its proportions a.
appears to give him an importan
lOt really his due. This self-impI
lance is apt to be reflected in all h
further efforts, if indeed it does a
forbid effort Of any sort, and on
man becomes obsessed with an c
agerated idea Of his attainment
there is small chance Of his ever dr
Heating those attachments. 1t is ju
here, however, that SO many perso
make the mistake Of their lives
believing that having once establish
record for themselves there is
need to live up to it. If they COT
only forget their successes, or hi
them away in the dim places of tn
own minds to be peeped at only {
inspiration, their self-aggrandizemt
would give way to correct valuat
of their ability, which would go {
toward helping them to new acco
plishments. A mans most serio
thoughts should be of what is to con
of what he is to do in the future, Il
of what is passed Of Of what he h
already accomplished

Unjnte ntionat.

A comely young woman from
Maine, who is just at the age of last
seasons debutantes, was being com
miserated with yesterday because her
ignorance Of certain rules concerning
shopping cost her a valuable muff, a
watch and chain and all the money
daddy had given her for her Christ
mas shopping.
She went to a large department
store, and knowing that pickpockets
exist she thought with pride of a
pocket in her muff and put her watch
and purse therein, together with a
letter from a young man. On coun-
ter was a wonderful array Of bargains.
She must examine some Of the beauti-
full things that were offered, so she
put her muff on the counter and
picked them up. After few moments
she started to take up her muff, but
severe, middle-aged woman stand
ing near her said: young woman,
that is my muff!" and grabbed it.
ooh, I beg your pardon" said the
young woman. 81 thought it was
mine" She searched about On the
counter, but no other muff was to be
seen. Thu other woman had hurried
away as if she saw some one beckon
ing. The amazed visitor made hel
way back to the hotel, where she
recountered her experience.
do you know, it is so odd what
became of that muff,' she said tc
one of the managers. do you think
it is possible somebody took it by
mistake ?"-New York Sun.

Takinq The Hopeful View

The prisoners lawyer was address
ing the jury.
Gentlemen" he said, "the attor-
ney for the prosecution refers to my
client as "a double dyed william"
That's what he is, gentlemen, and
that's all he is! He is only villain
by reason Of the dye-the double-dye,
if you please-with which the infa-
mously false testimony in this case
has colored him! And those dyes
are not fast colors; they will come
out in the wash. I confidently look
to your verdict, gentlemen of the
jury, to remove those spurious stains
from the character of a cruelty and
unjustly prosecuted man and reveal
him as he really is, an upright, hon
est citizen, white as the driven
snow!"
Thereupon the Il jurors, good men
and true, without leaving their seats,
unanimously found the defendant
guilty Of stealing the ham.

Make Your Own OveralIs.

Many a man says that he would be
glad to do chores about the house, to
trim the grass or weed the garden, If
he had overalls.
The trouble is that when he wishes
to wear overalls the stores are closed
and he cannot buy them. I wonder
that men do not make them for them
selves.
To provide pattern you must have
an outline or perspective plan of your
contour from the beltline down to the
ankles This may be obtained by sit
ting in wet clay and on arising, pour
ing plaster of Paris in the impression
When this hardens, lift the mold, lea
it against the wall and obtain meas

way Is to dust talcum powder on the
carpet until it is thickly coated. Then

The People And The Tariff.

New York Evening Post: AS a de-
mand Of right, tariff duty equal to
the difference in cost of production
should be dismissed as absurd; as a
maximum which shall In no instance
be surpassed, that difference may we'll
be appealed to as decisive. In cutting
down the tariff in the interest Of the
whole people, all reasonable persons
will pay regard to the claims that may
legitimately be put forward by those
already engaged in industries that
have been built up under the stimu-
lus of protection; just what those
claims are must be judged in each
case according to the circumstances
Of that case. But anything beyond the
difference in cost Of productions
difference, too, measured by American
production In favorable, not unfavor-
able, circumstances-is extortion. The
abolition Of such palpable and unde-
niable extortion is not to be, as the
new Republican dogma would have it,
the measure of tariff reform; but as
, an irreducible minimum Of such re-
form in every instance it may have
its use.

THE WAY OF THE FISHERMAN

"a fisherman who was Worming for
trout on the Ythan,' says a writer in
Baily's Magazine, chad just laid his
rod down to visit his sandwich box,
when without warning it suddenly
rose in the air and scared away like
Bleriot Biplane over Esslemon1
woods
For one wild moment he thought
there We're visions about, but the ex-
PLANTATION was soon apparent. A trout
had first seized the worm and had
then in turn been seized and gorged
by heron. Away tapped the heron,
only to find that it had captured some
thing of unusual weight.
Still it bravely flew toward it's
nest in the treetops, and the angler
might never more have recovered his
rod had it not got entangled in some
telegraph wires with the result that
the cast snapped, the heron went free
and the rod was eventually restored
to it's owner.
II remember telling this story to q
man who before l had ever got as far
as the telegraph wires interrupted me
with the assurance that it was mere
everyday commonplace to what had
befallen a friend of his when NAH
seer fishing in India.

was casting with a large spoon, and

HER MEMORANDA.

Mrs. Winnick thought, sitting ex-
tremely upright and staring intently
at the third knob in the fresco over
the opposite window, that such things
really never did happen in real life,
and anyhow if they did happen it was
perfectly absurd that they should hap
pen to her.
The voices at the next table came
to her distinctly. She had been away
weeks, but she had grown homesick.
She remembered now that in his last
letter he had written: "Do not feel
that you must hurry back, dear. Your
visit is doing you SO much good that
want you to stay just as long as you
like"
When she had read that she had
thought how perfectly selfsacrificine
and thoughtful Harold was when she
knew he must be wandering around
like lost sheep in the family hotel
where they made their home. Harold
was always so dependent upon her for
company She had thought just that!
And the voices at the next table kept
right on with their hateful chatter.
She remembered now Of having once
read that trying to surprise people
was foolish. 1t was foolish indeed, she
thought, She had come back unan.

ing her suitcase In the depths of the

they are certainly entitled to good

good as that in the cities and in the

naturally secure the cheapest labor
possible, and in many Or most cases
these dependents would be chosen

with the old star routes, and it is
reasonable to suppose that under like
conditions a similar state Of affairs
would prevail to-day.
We all have some recollection OF
the old, decrepit mail man." his di-
lapidated cart or buggy, and his horse
or team that fairly whickered for
the protecting hand Of the Humane
Society. His schedule was uncertain;
he was due to arrive any time be-
tween sun-up and not at all. Civil
service examination? Not for him!
Half the time he didn't know for
whom he was working.
If our government thinks that the
only qualifications necessary to carry
the mail are ability to furnish a one
boss shay and to know the road
then why this examination? Why arr

such proof of the efficiency Of his

has pending general inheritance tax
law similar to that Of some of the
Eastern States. The House is ap-
parently we'll disposed to the meas
ure, although Mr.. Ashley and others
are "agin" it. The drift of the oues-
tions fired at Mr.. Rembert were along
two lines-land and life insurance.
Members wanted to know how the
measure would affect land that might
be decided to children with a reser-
vat-on Of the life estate and whether
such property would be liable to the
inheritance tax. Mr.. Rembert thought
it would.
Others wanted to know whether
money derived by an estate from life
insurance would be subject to the in
heritance tax, Mr.. Rembert indicated
that where an insurance policy was
made for the benefit of an estate.
that this would be subject to the in
heritance tax, but where a wife or
ShiiO was ldIIleu dS the DenenClarY or
policy that such fund would not
be subject to the inheritance tax. The
members were apparently keenly in
terested in the discussion Of the in
heritance tax proposition.
