Only Success Worth WINNING.

There is nothing base in failure, but
base failure; there is nothing good in
success but that which is well won.
The applause Of triumph is a mock
cry to him who has not deserved his
success; If anything of conscience re-
mains to him such applause must be
a positive torture. We always know
In our hearts whether we have mer-
tied that which comes to US, and it is
always sweetened hundredfold when
we know that we really have done
something fair and true for it.

while Hebner has to his credit a furlung
mark of minutes % As seconds, tie fast

a likely candidate for honors in this
