u Plea for One Who
Failed

They called him Failure; all the busy throng
OF bold, successful men, and dlers, told
Beneath their breath. the sorry tale and long,
OF futile losses But heart of gold
Remembered other days. his eager YOUTH
His CHARM his promise, all his careless truth
Remembered, too, the hampered race he ran
His handicap of care beyond his years,
A boy, slight crude, with duties of a man,
A man restrained from ranking with his peers.
His gift-a touch of genius Heaven-sent
His tragedy-its undevelopment!
All, We brave sons of Fortunes favorng,
Forget your splendid scorn of Unsuccess!
Not always does the finger fit the ring
Nor heart of hero beat meath kingly dress.
A failure granted! But you, in his place,
Clean Failure might have tarnished with Disgrace!

The Unending Whine

What people don't like is what they
talk about. The weather is an unend-
ing topic. If it's very hot or very cold
the weather is in everybody's mouth.
The rare days may be spoken of as
beautiful or as perfect, but they do not
furnish monopoly for conversation or
get scare heads in the newspapers.
The weather is given notoriety when ii
is very bad. The weather is not at all
exceptional in its relation to man S
vocabulary. The common speech is of
things that interfere with comfort or
convenience, or with the way, real or
imaginary, that has been marked out
for getting on with affairs personal.
The good, the true and the beautiful
are left much to themselves. If they
are not unusual they are neglected.
They excite no general comment II
follows altogether in the natural order
that they are treated by the newspaper
as poor stuff. 1t is even the bad SER
mon that loosens the tongues of the
congregation, and it is common among
orators to voice kick. People want
to be happy, but do not work at tbs
job consistently or with much show of
perseverance,. The prevailing thought
is that there is lot of evil working AZ
the foundations Of society and that the
most that is dependable is out OF
responsibility. Something in the line
of sensation is in constant demand. and
one thing after another, like very hot
days and very cold days, tumbles along
in succession without much show of
order or the quality Of common sense.
1t Is fortunate for the weather that it
cannot be regulated by act Of congress,
but the weather man, authorized by
the general government, is not per-
emitted on this account to share in the
beneficence of human sympathy. Com
plant begits complaint; and it's a pity,
for with 1t all is the outcropping of sus-
picion, extending over the earth and
far into the heavens. 1t is equally true
that goodness begets after its kind,
and the wonder is that it holds its own
in the great field of the world as well
as it does. Sioux City Journal.

The BULLDOG.


The bulldog. unlike the majority Of

his attempts at barking are moro like
a burlesque Of the real thing. He
wades into fight without any vocal
warning. and the only sound he emits

Is astonishing. and the lnrgeness OF his
