Failure and Success.

What have made failures I? What men have attained
How do determine whether not man has failed
succeeded
know that in the acceptatons of the terms that
man accumulated considerable amount of
considered failure and that the who has become wealthy is
that the determining factor the ability
make and keep But not this false of measuring
Indeed of the who have attained the greatest
wealth been the worst failures They sacrificed everything for
money, honor, friends and themselves
Is incorrect to judge mans failure in life by
the of money he has We think much ruer
Judge by the things he has DONE aside from
getting Has he aided the sick and afflicted Has he given his
time and his abo benefit the conditions of the less favored
class Has his life brought happiness to others Has he done
his duty with but slight regard his personal welfare Only
when these questions be amavey answered can be truth
fully said that ones life has been successful really worth while
To attain wealth usually only miss of
the joys of life himself but he also bring unhappnes and
grief Others life given struggle for must be
hard and selfish and often the will only bring unhappnes
and be to those who inherit it.
The way Judge mans worth is not by how much
money he has but by how many good deeds he has DONE

Everything Turned Into Blessing.

Nothing hat is not Gods will can
come into the life of one who trusts
and obeys God. This fact is enough
to make our life one of c~easeless
thanksgiving and Joy. For it is the
most glorious thing in the world; and
it is working in omnipotence for us all
the time, with nothing to prevent it if
we are surrendered and believing. One
who was passing through deep waters
of affection wrote to a friend: rs 1t
not a glorious thing to know that, 10
difference how unjust a thing may be,
or how absolutely it seems to be from
Satan, by the time it reaches us it is
Gods will for us, and will work to-
gether for good to US? For all things
work together for good to US who love
God. And even of the betrayal Christ
said. THE cup which my Father hath
given me-, shall l not drink it," We
live charmed lives if we are living in
the center of Gods will. All the at
tacks that Satan through others sin
can hurl against US not only are pow
erless to harm us, but are turned into
blessings on the way. So let US praise
God for every new testing, knowing
that it is only going to reveal his love
the more. And let US give God full op-
~portunity to return through US good
for evil, under every attack. SO low
ingly that the blessing shall not be
limited to ourselves but shall be
passed on in fulIness to many about
us.-Sunday School Times.

ton that the practice was causing a
loss of hundreds OF thousands of dol
lars to the consumers annually.
Another reform measure the de-
partment was largely instrumental in
bringing about was the use of stand
ard dry measures for selling dry COM
modities. The widespread practice in
New Jersey of selling cranberries,
beans. peas, corn, ETC., from liquid
quart measures, which are nearly 10
cubic inches shorter than standard dry
quart measures, resulted in
being given short measure to thai
extent.
THE department also prohibited the
use of combination two and f%our-quart
measures, as many of them were
found to be short of the capacity
claimed for them. The so-called bot
tomless' measure has likewise been
put out of use because they could be
manipulated by dealers SO inclined.
Standard dry measures have been sub
stituted everywhere"
Progress has been made by the de-
partment also for correct weight in
ice and honest measure in bottles of
milk and cream. In the latter COM
modify odd-sized bottles are being
forced out and standards adopted with
the capacity blown in the glass of the
bottles.

London.-M. II. Donohoe, the Daily

Salonika, sends a despatch showing
that the danger of an outbreak of
war between the allies is increasing.
He says that, while protesting the
most pacific intentions toward each
other, Greece and Bulgaria are rapidly
drifting in the direction of war, Sa-
lonika being the prize in dispute.
There is a possibility of a lamentable
conflict unless the Powers intervene
to settle the dispute.
The Greeks declare themselves
ready to hold Salonika against Bull

every available soldier, and are now
rapidly concentrating in the field in
defense of the threatened city, in case
the Bulgsrians attempt to wrest from
them the prize won from Turkey. The
B%ulgarians are preparing for emer-

10000 soldiers facing the Greeks.

was delightful to run across friends
from every part Of the United States
in the streets of Havana. Ny long
residence in Washington has given
me friends in every state sometimes,
which adds so much to the pleasure
and filling out of life.
Winter in Havana is a season CT
delight. We have established u
home along the ocean front and truly
it surpasses description. The mingling
of deep blue water with deep blue sky,
the white winding road along the sea
and the m~agnifcence of flower and
foliage make a picture which Il
misses and regrets. Havana, I am
sorry to say, like so many other Latin
American cities, is giving up the
patio and villa type of the south OF
France and that of the American
south and southwest is becoming more
prevalent. I regret the patio sincere
ly, but the younger generation find
more to admire in the story IN story
house with all the modern accessories
There are, however, still some splen-
did old mansions in Havana, where
the patio exists in its pristine glory.
This style is where the rooms of the
home look out into an inner court
flied with flowers, where a fountain
tinkles and the family delights to
gather for intimate communion. Some
OF the old government buildings have
the patio.
Social life in Havana is as ad-
m1rable as the climate. l think the
mingling of the odd ceremonial Gus
toms with the less formal one of to-
day has bred an air of easy social in
t~ercourse. which is most agreeable
and not at all restrictive. Many OF
the older residents continue the for
NAL method of life which is part of
Spanish civilization. Many others
have adopted the easy ways Of Amer
leans, so that one may see the Gus
toms of two worlds and Of two diff
fering eras fourishing side by side.
There are so many balls and theater
parties and dinings without number;
in fact. it is rather unusual during the
social season not to have guests 10
dinner and then go with them later TO
a ball or the opera or the theater.
There is much visiting and one may
make a visit after a supper which
follows the theater, something IN
heard of here. But then often the day
light hours are sultry and they are
given to home duties and those avoca
lions which keep one out of the sun.
while the brisk breezes which spring
up with the departing day inspire en-
ergy to visit and enjoy social pleas
ures. l do not find the heat debilitat-
ing or more oppressive. as a rule.

PATHos KILLED A JESTER.
Gordon Heartbroken When Bernhard
Audience Wouldn't Laugh.

Chicago.-Clif Gordon, the come
dian, who was found dead in a hotel,
evidently was disheartened because he
could not make his auditors laugh
after they had wept ver Sarah Bern
hardt's playlet.
Gordon attempted it during an after
noon performance and failed. 1t
seemed to affect him, for he said to
the manager of the theatre:
"The people sat in their seats stolid
and mirthless. 1 could not get them
and had to quit. Any comedian who
tries to follow Bernhard will die"
The manager tried to cheer him up;
told him to have a rest and try again
at the night performance. Gordon
went to his room, and when he did not
appear for his act in the evening a
call boy was sent to his hotel. The
door of Gordon's room was broken
open and he was found dead upon the
floor. He had taken a heavy dose of
some cold cure A physician said
Gordon also had a weak heart.
