In five-recl feature picture shown
in Garlington's Meadow last Monday
the caste Of the Gilkerson House cast
gloom over Church Street when they
walked away with baseball mix-up
by score Of 8 to 3. The picture was
taken at cost of one new ball and

real base ball-in fact some Of It was
very base. 1t was a very fierce strug-
gle though ending peacefully, and one
side will live happy ever afterwards.
1t was the third onslaught of a series,
both teams having won one game Of
the frs two, and will probably be the
last between these two aggrcgations
as at least one side is satisfied. The
star OF the game was Johnnie Gilkcr-
son who broke his world record by
not falling but nine times during the
whole game. Tho infielders for the
Christians we're in fine form and play
ed an excellent game.

SECRET OF SUCCESS.

There is no secret to success. There is nothing new, nor is it hard to learn. To be more successful, be more efficient; do the little things better; do what you can do in the right way, and your income will take care of itself. Hitch your wagon to the stars Remember always you can do your work better, and do it. Your thoughts, your deeds, your words, make you better or worse. Be your own master and the captain of your soul. You can be what you want to be Forget self and render service to those in need If an em- ploye, strive to be of greater value to your employer; look forward to the day when you can be an employ CT. If all employer, strive to make your employe honor you, this will bring you success. Eat and drink only that which will nOurish your body Entertain thoughts that will enrich your mind If you do this you will soon De factor that is in con stant demand This world is hungry for people of quality and the demand for quality Is greater than the out put The bids are high, but the goods are scarce. The time to start is now This is not secret; you know it.
