NAMED in New York since the dis

avenue and his resignation from his
clubs. This once, then, he would break
the law he had written down for
himself Boldly he entered the res

Some time before Hargreave sur
rendered to the restless spirit Of re-
bellion, bitterly to repent for it later,
there came into this restaurant man
and a woman. They were both evil
IDENTIFY well known, for the head waiter
was obsequious and hurried them over
to the best table he had left and took
the order himself
The man possessed a keen, intelli-
gent face. You might have marked
him for a successful lawyer, for there
was an earnestness about his express
sion which precluded a life of idle
ness. His age might have been any
where between 40 and So The Shout
ders were broad and the hands which
lay clasped upon the table were slim
but muscular. Indeed, everything
about him suggested hidden strength
and vitality His companion was
small, handsome, and animated. Her
frequent gestures and mutable eye
brows betrayed her foreign birth. Her
age was matter of importance to no
one but herself.
They were at coffee when she said:
There's young man coming toward
us. He is looking at YOU"
The man turned. Instantly his face
lighted up with friendly smile of
recognition. q.
"Who is it?" she asked. rg

reporter, catching sight of a pair of
dazzling eyes, hesitated.

"Ah!" said the princess, interested.
1t was the old compliment, said in an
unusual way. 1t pleased her.
The reporter sank into a chair.

So while he talked gayly with the

traordinary brain under his thatch OF
salt and pepper hair. The man had
written three or four brilliant mono
graphs on poisons and the uses Of
radium, and 1t was through and by
these that the reporter had managed
to pick up his acquaintance. He lived
well, but inconspicuously.
Suddenly the pupils Of Braine's
eyes narrowed; the eye became cold
Over the smoke Of his cigarette he
was looking into the wall mirror. A
man had passed behind him and sal

into the mirror, Braine saw Morton

And Hargreave was working out his
plans, too; and he was just as much

library table, the maxillary muscles

this day and age impressed upon us:

The real successful men, are those
who not merely accumulate great
riches, or attract much public atten-
ton, or who startle the world by
the brilliancy of their achievements;
but they are those who perform the
duties Of their respective places no
matter how humble their station In
life in the most thorough and efficient
manner possible. It is the little
things which count. Attention to
apparent trines results In perfection
and perfection is only approached by
unremitting industry.
Many good persons are liable to
confuse success with notoriety. They
imagine that the only successful peo-
pie are those about whom much is
said in public print and whose photo
graphs daily appear in magazines and
the press. Thoughtless, parents
sometimes believe, that unless their
children achieve great distinctive in
their chosen vacations that they have
dismally failed. All these things

progress. 1t Is not where we are
but what we are. II we possess the
proper qualities we may achieve sue
cess wherever we may be. We must
have early in life, certain purpose
and toward that purpose we must
habitually direct our powers. To be
sure IL we try to succeed we must
expect to be criticised, for nothing
important was ever done, but the
greater number Of people consult
about It, doubted its possibility. In
fact, success has been termed the
accomplishment Of that which most
people think can't be done. Anyone
can fail. The one whom the public
admires most Is that one who has
enough confidence in himself alone
to take d chance and the one with
an ideal, struggling to carry 1t out.
1t must also be remembered that
there are all grades Of ideals, and
naturally the one with the highest,
given the proportional energy is the
most successful. That only has a
right to be called real success which
has certain aspirations, which looks
up, and which also helps to look up;
in fact, no success is worthy of that
name which does not include the de-
velopment of our characters; which
does not carry with 1t morality. The
only real success, which is possible
for any human being, is the higher
growth of himself. Although many
trials may come, yet we ever resolve
to cultivate a cheerful spirit, for one

THE PROBLEMS OF
IRRIGATION

IRRIGATION
Governor Ammons of Colorado, act
ing on suggestion of Secretary of
the interior, Lane has asked the gov.
errors of the western states to meet
and confer on irrigation problems.
They are asked to consider these
matters at the conference Of western
governors meeting in Denver the Sec
ond week in April.
There is general popular failure
to realize the basis on which prosper
ity rests in the irrigation districts.
It is a matter affecting also the great
body Of people through the east who
are buying irrigation securities.
II the owner of irrigated land finds
his water rights insufficient, his ten.
dency is to blame some one above
him along the ditch, for taking too
much water. He starts a law suit.
Meanwhile the real trouble may be
far up the mountain sides, where
some one has cut down or burned
tractstof> trees.
AS higfSas $1,000 to $4,000 an acre
is paid III some irrigated districts
for orange orchards. Well located but
unimproved ranches bring 5000 to
$500 per acre. Yet II anything hap
pens to his little stream, his tract
would be dear at SIS per acre for d
sheep pasture.
In the San Bernadino valley of
California, which has been a pioneer
in preserving water supply, 1t was
found that where the land about the
stream sources was well forested, so
per cent Of the rainfall was saved.
Where land had been stripped, 95
per cent ran off and was wasted.
If some part Of the fortunes that
have been spent in attacking and de-
Tending water rights could have been
devoted to cooperative efforts to
protect water supply sources, western
farming would be on a more secure
basis today. Fifteen years ago there
were streams that could be had for
the taking. which today are worth
millions. The western governors
have some big problems to talk about
at their coming conference.

SUCCESS

There is one thought uppermost
In the minds of ourselves and of our
friends, will we be successful in life?
Will we attain distinction in the
career. which We shall elect to per-
sue? II prayers by others, without
good work on our part alone were
sufficient. or II the good wishes of
our many friends could effect such
results, undoubtedly we could sue
coed beyond the most ambitious as
pirations Of our most enthusiastic ad.
mirers.
Let us not, however, be deceived
as to what constitutes success, nor
do not let us be mislead as to how
1t may be attained. The mere ac-
emulation of money is not success,
nor will 1t ever bring happiness and
contentment. 1t is a most debasing
ambition, to live with no other
thought or object in life than to get
rich. Wealth should not be scorned
nor abused, nor over estimated. As
means to do good, 1t is of great
value, as an object to be sought to
the exclusion of all else In life, IL is
an abominat;on. 1t has been said.
Success in life consists in the prop
er and harmonious development of
those faculties which God has given
us. Hence we can see, that they are,
indeed, higher and better modes of
activity, than those which are exhib.
tied in the multiplying dollars. How
greatly are those familiar words in
