A man is a failure
who is unable to
make a living for
himself and those
who are depend
ent upon him.

n DO you think | have
made a success or a fail
ure of life | am a poor man,
who works hard for a small sal
airy. l have never been able to
make much money or to give my
family the luxuries of life. Some
times they have not even had the
comforts. But my home, although
it has always been shabby, has
been filled with peace and love
and happiness.
Il had a wife whom | adored
and who, / am sure, never regret
ted marrying me, although from
her wedding day to the day Of her
death her lot was the hard one Of
a poor mans wife
After her mothers death my
eldest daughter then only 10. took
her mothers place, and has filled
it splendidly ever since. growing
into u noble and capable woman
hood. Ny other children-there
are five of them-are fine little
chaps-healthy. hardy and intelr-
gent-and when they see their old
dad coming they swarm over him
with yells of delight. for he's their
best pal. and the one who helps
them in their work and play.
I Shall End Humbly."
But I'm not one of the men
who know how to make money, or
get on in the world. l began life
humbly, and ] shall end it humbly,
and when l see other people who
have been more successful than
some of them old friends who
began on the same level as my
self in my boyhood-I wonder if
! am not a failure. Then | look
at my children and think that 1
have got a right to score some
thing to my account, after all.
What do you say? Am 1 a fall
ure or a success? ."
1t all depends upon how you
rate success. If you think that
the dollar mark is the high-water
mark of human achievement, then
you are a failure. But. judging
by the same standard, you would
be in pretty good company. Any
grating police lieutenant could
have given Abraham Lincoln
points on how to become a sue
cessful money maker. And thou
sands of other great statesmen
have died poor, although they had
in their possession knowledge of
legislation that was to be enacted
that would have made them mill
lions had they been successful
politicians
\ man is a failure who can not
make a living for himself and
those dependent upon him. But
this living does not include dia-
mond tiaras and limousines and
imported gowns. 1t means just
ordinary food and clothes and
lodging, enough TO insure de-
cent independence. Beyond that
the making of money is no critic

not in doing something to them,

OF course. the success that pro-
claims itself by the honking OF
automobile horns and the rustic

that catches the public eye. but
the man who is successful as

LESSON IN SCIENTIFIC
COMPLEXION RENEWING

(From the Family Physician.)
Everyone has beautiful skin under
meath the one exposed to view. Bear
that in mind and it will be easier to
understand the correct principle in ac-
quiring a lovely complexion. Nature is
constantly shedding the top skin in
laky particles like dandruff, only much
smaller in size. In abnormal conditions,
or in advancing age these particles are
not shed as rapidly as in robust youth.
The longer they remain the more soiled
or faded they become-that 3 the i'm
mediate cause of "bad complexion. "
1t has been discovered that ordinary
mercolized wax, to be had at any drug
store, will absorb these worn-out parti.
cles. The absorption, while fastening
Natures work, goes on gradually
enough to cause no inconvenience. In
a week or two the transformation is
complete, The fresh, healthy.hued,
youthful underskin is then wholly in
evidence. You who are not satisfied
with your complexion should get an
ounce Of mercolized wax and try this
treatment. Use the wax nightly like
cold cream, washing it off mornings.

ELIZABETH, n. j., July s26.-The
poisoned PEN case, once termed
famous for the sensations promised,
has now become famous for its post
ponements, and today another adj
journment of ten days was taken
when the case was called before Judge

Mrs. Charles L. Jones, recipient Of
the sensational anonymous notes, is
now on a trip to Cuba.
Mrs. Nelson L. Pollard, who is ac-
cused of having written the letters,
is represented by Samuel Schleimer.
The latter Is reported to be spending
the weekend at a seashore resort.
When Attorney David announced his
intention of making the trip to Cuba
his rival counsel asserted that tho
trip was but another scheme to dodge
the investigation of the case. The
reason given for the postponement
today was that Mrs. Jones is still
unable to appear in court.

JERSEY CENTRAL WOULD
BLOCK PENNSY PLANS

ELIZABETH, N. J., July 26.-The
residents of this city, particularly
the manufacturers and merchants,
are much surprised that the projected
improvements of the Pennsylvania
Railroad may be held up, or even
prevented, by the friction that APP
pears to exist between that road and
the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
The Pennsylvania road contemplates
the erection of a new depot, the
Strengthening of its tracks through
the city, and cooperation with the
city so that one or two of the main
thoroughfares would be improved so
as to facilitate traffic
The Central Railroad has notified
the city that the Pennsylvania can
not put its plans into effect without
infringing upon the property rights
of the Central to a considerable de-
gree, and this win not be tolerated.
Chief Engineer Osgood, of the Cen
trail Railroad, viewed the model Of
the improvements which the Pennsy
proposal showed. and said that it
was an impracticable plan which he
did not believe the road would ever
carry out.
