HE is NOT ALWAYS MODEST
So-caIIed SeIf-Made Man Sometimes
Overestimates Himself, Asserts
Minister.

Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick voiced
the pentup conviction of many
thoughtful men when he said TO his
Yale audience that the self-made man
is not the greatest creation in the
world There are many truly self-made
men whom we honor, and who carry
their honors with becoming modesty.
Such men recognize the fact that,
though they get the credit for their
own success, they owe it much TO
their conceit that everybody wishes
they had wholly let out the contract
to somebody else. These are usually
the ones who in fact owe most and
credit least to others for their sue
cess.
In the analysis we find that Mr.. Eos
dicks conclusion is correct. There is
no such thing as a self-made man
There are some men who owe success
much to circumstances and very little
to their own endeavor. There are on
the other hand men who have won
their place by adding self-sacrifice and
hard work to circumstances less IA
vorable than those on which the 9TH
ers rose. In men of both sorts mod
esty is becoming.
1T is not infrequent that the small
man achieves what is commonly &C
cepted as success. He is the one who
pirates about his self-making, who is
particularly obnoxious and deserves
this rebuke. There are not so many
of him, but the few go a long way to
make a noise like a multitude. He
is cocksure that. since he deems he
has achieved what he set out to
achieve, his opinion on matters and
things is the final authority.
By sheer force of that pertinacity
and will force by which he has arrived
as he thinks-he will often face
down in argument the man who has
a better reason. He assumes to be
a correct type of self-made man. He
may, indeed, do much good, and stand
as an example of what effectively ap-
piled will power can do, but he needs
to be reckoned for what he is worth.
And what he is really worth is much
less than is commonly supposed.

An Exception.

John Dicks Howe, a writer residing
in California, once took exception to
the assertion of a gentleman who casu-
ally remarked that all great men had
commenced at the bottom of the lad
der and worked thier way up to sue
cess" When asked to cite a case in
contrast, he replied, why, there is a
man in Omaha who started his life's
work practically a poor man, but by
close application to business has not
only gained national reputation and
amassed fortune, yet, contrary to the
usual custom, he commenced at the
top and worked downward" What is
his business?" inquired the stranger.
"a well digger" replied MI Howe.

Cork FIoorino for the Kitchen

An excellent new material is coming
into extensive use for kitchen floors.
1t is a flooring made from squares of
cork, pressed under powerful weights
and baked. Each tile is about one-half
inch thick, in the natural cork browns.
The tiles are set into a plaster base
and become part of the floor. They
are expensive, but for a permanent
home they cannot be excelled, as the
flooring thus produced is impervlous
to wear and will not absorb grease or
water. The great point is the restful-
ness to the feet that such surface
gives, besides it's sanitary and artistic

HAVE MARRIED EACH
OTHER ELEVEN TIMES
Wedding Ceremony Often Per-
formed For VOrnOnS.

Hagerstown, Md.-To be married to
each other eleven times since 1909 has
been the novel experience Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Vernon, who are at Brad
dock Heights. The marriage ceremo-
MES have been performed in as many
different countries.
Asked why he and his wife had been
married 80 often, Vernon said 1t was
sort of hobby with them, and they took
the step as a precaution because In
some foreign countries marriages per
formed in others are not recognized.
He and his wife were first married
in Columbus, o., in 1909; then in Mon
treal In 1910; in England, Scotland,
Wales, France, Germany, Belgium and
Russia In 1911; in Sydney, Australia,
in 1912, and in Vera Cruz, Mexico, in
1913. They hold marriage certificates
of all these weddings, and the display
Is unique.
In some of the countries where they
were married they did not understand
word the officiating clergyman was
saying, but simply nodded their heads
when they thought the time had come
to make the responses.
They speak French and German.
