The Greater Reward.
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

The Greater kEeW0EUs
Because she failed to get prize in
a competition in which she engaged. q
friend of mine is deeply disappointed
and disheartened. What I mind the
most" che says. sis to think of all
the work I put into it going to waste"
Now my friends disappointment Is
natural and I sympathize with her sim
cerelty, but there's one thing In which
I don't agree with her. I don't think
she has a right to say that all the
work she has put into 1t has been was
ted.
No honest. sincere effort il ever lost.
The research. the study. the analysis
and the struggle to create did not. 90
be sure, bring her the prize she craved,
but it must have added to her store OF
knowledge and to her capacity for good
work.
The more a man has done. the more
he can do. Whatever other reward may
be withheld, NO one can withhold that
reward. No one can take away that
gain.
Even failures are worth while. Man
is no less the product or his failures
than of his successes. A failure is like
an enemy, it strikes at weak point
and shows US what to guard against
next time.
When Charlotte Bronte was a young
woman she and her two younger sis
ters planned to start a school for girls.
They wrote to all their friends. They
arranged the curriculum. They had fold
ers announcing the rates, etc, printed.
and they made arrangements Tor nav
ing their home enlarged and repaired.
Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately,
since with a crowded school to eat up
its authors time, Jane Eyre might never
have been written, the Bronte sisters
could not get a single pupil. Two pu-
| pills they might have had had just been
sent elsewhere; many who approved OF
the teachers objected to the location;
| in short, disappointment met them on
every side. and they were finally forced
to give up q plan they had cherished
for years.
1t was as bitter a blow as you can
imagine and yet read what Charlotte
! intention, however, OF breaking our
hearts on the subject. still less Of feel
| ing mortified at defeat. The effort must
be beneficial whatever the result may
be because 1t gives US experience and
an additional knowledge of the world. :"
What wonder that Charlotte Bronte
succeeded in leaving her mark in the
| world despite all sorts Of handicaps and
difficulties. No man nor woman who.
| under the sting OF bitter defeat. can
/, still realize and acknowledge the value
| Of effort can entirely fail.
They are sure OF ultimate success
who use failures only as stepping stones

No honest, sincere effort IL ever lost.
Your fellowmen may deny you pay
ment or recognition. but they cannot
deny you the greater good that comes
from doing.

WHAT INTERVENTION MEANS.

If Intervention were Undertaken by
us it would be with the announcement
of unselfish motives, writes q contrib
utor to 1.-THE Progress OF the World"
III the American Review Of Reviews
for April. Our government would
proclaim to the world its purpose to
protect the Mexican people from
themselves; to help them establish
conditions Of peace, order, and Justice;
to protect the lives and property alike
of Mexicans and of foreigners, and to
gain neither territorial advantage nor
political ascendancy for itself. There
would be all sorts Of renunciations in
advance. Congress, by joint resolu-
ton, would pledge the honor of the
United States to q merely temporary
occupation, and to full withdrawal as
soon as order had been restored. We
should have won in the end. and
established apparent peace; but we
should soon have withdrawn and Mex
leo would still have its own future to
work out Meanwhile, We should
have sent several hundred Thousands
Of our young men into Mexico. with
the sacrifice of many lives. with the
public expenditure of from five hun
drcd millions to thousand millions
Of dollars, and private economic sacri-
flee and loss to a far greater extent.
1t is true, as Senator Sheppard admits.
that the desperate conditions in Mex
leo have resulted In the unfortunate
loss Of the lives Of Americans and 9TH
er foreigners. and In the humiliation
Of property interests to a large
amount. But q war Of intervention
would destroy all that remains Of for
cign property In Mexico before peace
could be established, besides the in
comparably greater economic sacri-
xices involved in the expense OF our
undertaking.
