TALK ON OPPORTUNITY
Success Is a Matter Of Having Faith

Holding on When tho
Time Comes.

Milwaukee Sentinel: James Camp
bell, president of the North American
company, sat in parlor B of the Hotel
Pfister Sunday night. He greeted his
visitor with firm hand shake. Mr..
Campbell is kindly man inclined to
stoutness. His face is carved with
the lines of effort and untiring vigil.
but his most striking feature is his
eyes. of a light blue. piercing, tender,
changing as he talks.
Mr.. Campbell, accompanied by his,
daughter Lois, is in Milwaukee on a
tour of inspection of his many varied
interests here.
Conditions here are better than
they have ever been before he said.
This is because Of improved business
management and the high efficiency
of our local managers. Up to a few
years ago the New York people did
not know what the Milwaukee condi-
tons were. Since we have centraliz-
ed our interests. the New York people
are thoroughly conversant with all
conditions here
In speaking of achievements. MT.

modesty is one OF the chief character
istics of the man. In reply to ques-
ton, Mr. Campbell smiled.
Man Potential Factor.
Success is hard thing to define.

80 per cent luck. but the other ten is
the potential factor-it is the man
himself.
Il have been In business for more
than thirty-fiye years and believe
that what little measure OF success
have attained has been caused by
holding on to what ! acquired till
saw a chance of selling it. Any man
can acquire or possess commodity
for which there may be no Immediate
demand, but if he holds ii long enougt
there will ultimately arise demand
for it This applies to talents as well a:
business assets.
Success is, / think, a matter OF hay
ing faith in oneself, seeing an oppor
tunity, grasping it, and holding on
but the faith one must have must mo-
be the kind that sits and waits fol-
success. 1t must be the kind thai

No speculation will ever give {

the success of his red rose ventures.
Once friend from France brought
Mr. Bancroft cutting of a red rose
called Madame Ferdinand Jemain."
which, although it had failed at home,
was thought to have possibilities in
an American climate. Brady nursed
1t along with a fair degree Of conscien-
tiousness, none too pleased, likely
enough. that France had been SO pre-
mature in this honorable business.
But the little alien rose bush sickened
and died, and was thrown aside, pre-
sumably at the end Of its history
Then came the shocking news from
England that William Francis Ben
nett had won the red rose race, He
had had an astonishing luck with his
plants, and had finally established
their hardihood and their permanence
of color. Bancroft and Brady mourn
ed in secret. True, there was still the
American championship to be tried
for, but the first fine careless rapture
of success had been already captured.
A rose culturist in New York had
the good fortune, about this time, to
make new flower, which he prompt

this was not compensation enough,

we're bound to be kind. And SO. one
morning, a delighted yell from his

At any rate. there 1t was, and 1t re

! For 1t must be known at the outset

lest persuaslons could ever dislodge
it. For the roses maker had already
decided that 1t should be named for
Judge Hagner, a warm friend Of Mr..
Bancroft, and Brady's bright particu-
lar star, and to have the choice Of its
name and the christening ceremony
swept out of his reach at one fell
swoop would have tried the patience
OF a saint.
Brady finally made the best Of it,
and contented himself with assuring
Judge Hagner that things would have
been different If he had had any say
in them.
From this time on, however, the his
tory of John Brady and his precious
rose begins to take somber turn. Mr..
Bancroft died in 1891, bequeathing the
American Beauty to Brady as tesla
ment of his affection and appreciation.
The famous gardens passed into other
hands, and Brady moved, with his
large and hungry family and his
handful of American Beauty rose.
bushes, into little house outside oi
Washington.
Things went rapidly from bad tc
worse. Brady had neither money
nor the knack of picking up odd Jobs
His eldest son was still too young fol
responsibility, and the ages OF ths
others, in regular succession, dimin
ished punctually by year His wife
was frail, out of patience with power

care of children.
4 Brady survived the first part Of this
i bleak period by observing the Span

1 him part with his rose bushes, though
his wife, regarding him as sort O
nlonomaniao on this subject, put be-
noblest persuasions into the task o
undoing his resolve.
To his reiterated tales OF the for
tune that would come to him som,
day through the American Beaut,
rose Mrs Brady reasonably replie,
that she and the children were hungr,
that very day and hour, and that NOR
than her soul was sick with hope dc
ferred.
But some prescience Of the inheren
value Of his rose kept Brady obdurat
to appeals, domestic or professional.
The world Of fashion had all bu
forgotten the interregnum OF th

II was on one of these forlorn occaT
sions that Mrs. Brady's patience shay
ped and her loyalty faltered. Sne
seized the pampered rose pusnes,
made haste to Field Brothers, ans
sold them, one and all, for scarcely
more than the price Of single meal.
When this was told to Brady. he
touched the hour of his supreme tribu-
lation. His world fell away from be-
meath his feet. Not once In the IL
years since then has the stupor which
came upon him lifted for long enough
for realization of his misery to sift
through.
Matters went merrily with the rose
he made Field Brothers, by skillful
advertising, were able to sell their ex-
elusive right to its reproduction for
$4,000 Within year ten times that
amount was being paid for 1t by en-
thusiastic purchasers here and
abroad.

John Brady is still homeless in
Washington. His wife and the fam
ished children have died, one after
1 another. He himself is the recipient
of constant small charities from Wash
ington florists, any of whom will give
him bits of work, spraying, or cutting,
when his mind can be held to his
task.
