ERNEST WORK WILL

To the Victor Usually Belong the Spells and in the
Case of the Beacon's Opportunita Magnificent
Prizes are Certain to go to the Hustlers:

most happy, but l just couldn't
ask anyone to vote for me-"
Now what do you think Of that,
as manifestation of the old say
ing of Spirit willing, but flesh
is weak?" Willing to take a
magnificent prize served upon a
silver platter and garnered with
the watercress of friendship, but
unwilling to turn a hand to fur
Their the cause that would bring
her honor and profit, And would
she not ask anyone's help? That's
part that passes understanding.
You are asking no one for IA
vor. You are asking them to SUBJ
scribe to a paper that sells for
81 a year; paper that is worth
that amount at least, so think
some 1000 good citizens of Nox-
ubee and adjoining counties, who
are taking it and paying that
price for it. When you ask any
one to subscribe to the Beacon,
you are putting a straight bust
ness proposition to that person.
You are selling him a newspaper.
He ought to have a newspaper
and that paper should be the Bea-
con. He knows that as we'll as
you do. Then it's up to him; he
can take it or leaYe it. The votes
on that subscri ptlOn are merely
incidental. And if he wishes to
cast mis- vote for some other can
didate. let him do that.
Your successful salesman-the
kind who are drawing large sala-
ries-strike that circumstance
every day, but they don't get dis
outraged; they know that the
next fellow is likely to have no
preference as to whose line of
goods he buys and that he can
sell his own and reap the bene9t.
And that is the way in 4his con-
test. The votes that come to the
candidates who sees the indiffer-
ent people who subscribe because
they want a newspaper and have
no choice of candidate, are the
identical votes that mark the diff
ference between great and small
prizes. Why not get after that
kind today?

engaged in business-a erudite pnysi-
clan, and how sadly he will be missed
in the home, the social circle and pro-
fessionally his very presence in the
sick room inspired confidence and hope.
Cheerful and cOngenIal in disposition,
he made friends; kind and considerate
of others. he endcared himself to the
people, and he was always a magnet in
every circle. He truly saw the silver
lining to every cloud and discerned the
promise in the rainboW's glowing tints
His love of the beautiful in nature was
a striking characteristic. Just prior
to his death he visited the home of &
neighbor, and on leaving noticed the
spring flowers bursting into beauty and
loneliness, and remarked: ''Well, it
seems now we will all live to see the
roses bloom again" Alas! in the
midst Of life we are in death. He
dreamed not the roses would bloom to
be laid oy loving hands on his grave, or
that the fateful seal was then on his
noble brow and the deep shadows of
gloom were gathering over his home.
His home was his kingdom, and there
he repaired after weary watching by
the bed side of the sick and found COM
fort and rest. Now sorrow broods over
his vacant chair and all is desolate.

A great many people have en-
tered the Beacon'S voting contest
and a great many more are con-
Sidering the matter with the IN
tention of entering either their
own names or those of a friend
who strikes them as the sort OF
persons most likely to prove dan.
gerous to the peace OF nina OF
those already entered.
Now, there are several meth
obs of being in" this contest;
One is to send in your name and
sit down an1 expect your friends
to do all the rest for you. Even
this method will sometimes win
you a prize. But it will not win
you a very impressive one: 1t is
not going to get you in line for
the $3.50 piano, or one Of the
beautiful diamond rings that
have been set aside to be award
ed at the end Of the contest. 1t
might possibly win you one of
the gold watches that will be
given away. Or it might remem-
Der, we say might, result IN you
acquiring a business scholarship.
The last two prizes are very de-
sirable and, no doubt, you would
be highly pleased to be declared
the winner of either, but would
not you rather put forth a little
effort and win one of the larger
prizes?

candidate. The way to get a
prize worth while is to get it.
And you can not tuck yourself
away in a corner aud wait for
DTne some to discover your tai
ents. Active, aggressive, con-
centrated energy is the fabric OF
which success is woven no matter
what sort of contest you are in,
or what the prize you may be
after.
Oh, to be sure, I'd take one of
the prizes and be aWfully glad, "
