SAYS UNCLE CIV

After all, it is not the opportunity,
but the preparation for the opportunity,
that counts. Great crises bring forth
great men, but always men who have
made ready for the crises-whose abili-
ties fit into the demands of the hour
like the teeth of twin cogwheels.
1t is probable that if you are COM
planning that you never had a chance
you have never taken the pains to
prepare yourself to make good when
the chance comes.
For instance, you are an underpaid
clerk in a great wholesale establish
ment. The proprietor is looking for a
manager. His practiced eye watches
every man in the house-he is looking,
looking, looking, for the right kind of
a man, and all the while his mind is
fixed upon that $4,000 berth that is
waiting for him who can fill it. Are
you likely to be called? Hardly, You
know nothing about the affairs of the
house except those Immediately rela-
ted to your own little corner of it, and
you have but feeble grasp upon them.
The opportunity awaits-it waits for
you as much as for any one-but you
haven't a chance because you haven
had forethought enough to prepare
yourself for the opportunity when it
should arise.
That is the story of human failure.
answer cannot meet her demands.
If you really want to get somewhere
in life, pick out your goal 10, Is, 20
or 80 years in advance. If you take
forethought you can come pretty near
telling where opportunity is going to
appear and what she is going to de-
mand before she bestows her blessings.
Pick out your place half a lifetime
ahead and get down to the serious
business of preparing yourself for it.
When the chance comes. you'll be there
to seiZe-youn have your self-confi-
dence with you. You'll know that you
are ready for whatever may come and
you'll step into your chosen place with
an air of proprietorship that will fore
stall the protests of those who would
say you nay.
Opportunity without ability is the
emptiest thing in the world, and per-
haps the greatest tragedy. Perhaps it
is the most nearly universal tragedy of
all. For there is work crying to be
done, and the demand for men is
voiced every minute Of every hour in
the day, as it has been voiced since
the dawn of industrial organization.
The demand is for big men-there are
more little ones than we know what to
do with-men of vision who can see
the needs of the times, men of strength
who can break down barriers of diff
cuties that separate them from their
own, men Of courage to persist and
men of might to attain-always the
qualified man, the man who has taken
thought and prepared himself for his
ortunity.-(Copyright 1912, Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)

Dogs Live I'm Imxurv.

Women who have struggled unsuccess-
fully against the strict rule of New York
hotels against canine visitors will be glad
to know how one woman now residing at
the Ritz-Carlton has overcome it.
The woman, who is well known in New
York society, went to the Ritz-Carlton
and engaged a suite of four rooms and
three baths, for the winter, at a cost of
$50 day. The hotel management won
dered how she was going to use the
rooms There was a living room he'd
room and bath for herself and a room
and bath for her maids. But she vouched
no explanation for the third bedroom and
bath. When the management asked about
it she replied:
why that is for the rest or my family
Then there was more mystery, as the
woman has no immediate family But the
coming of the babies put an end to the
mystery The little ones were two Jap
anese and one Pekinese spaniels.
But, madam, we do not arrow dogs In
the hotel. 1t is strictly against the rules"
protested the manager.
II engaged the rooms for the winter,
didn't 1? I'm paying for them, and
guess that my dogs will stay If 1 do the
woman replied.
Even the threatened loss of $50 a day
for six months did not move the manager,
SO the woman changed her tactics.
But I love them so. They will make no
trouble. have a maid who does nothing
but look after them, and I am certain
they will bother no one. Please let them
stay. can't live without them"
This and much more of the same kind
of pleading, which nearly ended in tears,
finally persuaded the manager that the
only course to him was to let the dogs
stay. So in their own room and bath
which cost $40 day, the three dogs are
living as luxuriously as any of the human
beings in the Ritz Carlton.
Not only the sleeping arrangements
luxurious, but the meals served the
''babies' represent the best efforts of the
hotel chefs. Arising from their satin
lined baskets in the morning, the dogs are
bathed with delicately scented water in
the big white tub. After the bath comes
breakfast, which usually consists of toast
and milk. For luncheon, the babies are
served lamb chops and creamed potatoes.
Dinner consists of a bit of chicken or
other fowl, with mashed potatoes, and Q
dessert, either of ice cream or some
cream confection.-New York Herald.

which have been virtually adopted and
in some cases are being carried into
effect provide for the construction of
$4,000 miles of railroad, which is fully
four times the usual yearly record in
the United States.
Russia will have to be reckoned with
more and more as the development of
that vast, backward realm goes on, in
all of the great international affairs
of the times. Industrially and com
mercially, in population and area, in
military strength, and even in financial
resources the Russian empire is forced
into a position of great Importance by
its sheer bulk and mass. For good or
for evil, the Northern Bear will have
to be taken into consideration when the
largest interests of mankind are at
stake.
