THE WAY TO SUCCESS.

1t takes time, thought, attention to
make any venture succeed. 1t takes
nerve, patience, sticktoitiveness. The
object of accomplishment must be
ever and relentlessly pursued. The
noise of quacks. backbiters and
knockers must fall on dead ears.
Success is Elusive and the road to it
lies over apparently insurmountable
barriers. Only the stout hearted win
success. Sometimes it comes by acci-
dent, but seldom. Successes are won
by hard work, hard thought and a
fixed determination to win, come
what may. 1t is not necessary to
adopt shady methods to win. Such
retard rather than forward. Keep a
clear conscience, a clear vision of
your object, and let the knocker go
to the devil. Knockers do not sue
ceed; therefore their opinions are
worth little.

instinctively to any human being; to
gaze on the face of every passerby
with curiosity; to feel the heart warm
little even when looking at an old
portrait in a book of one who lived
500 years ago; to have a sense of
uneasiness in solitude, so that one
/ wants to hunt up the sewing maid or
the janitor for bit of talk; to find
pleasure in watching from the win
dow the people in the street; to have
every man and woman tempt to ac-

where people live, something to pique
the imagination; to follow with the
eyes every schoolboy and wonder
what home he comes from, what COM
panionship he goes to, and what
[ dreams occupy his soul: to feel awe
at every old house, deserted and desc
late, because human laughter has
runS there; to reverence every church
because men have worshipped there;
to feel a touch upon the soul at the
sight of a name carved on a tree. be-
cause human feeling is traced there:
to hate war, because it means the ex-
termination of men and the spelling
of mems handiwork; to love human
qualities in birds, beasts and things.

of the multitude; to be shattered and
rocked in the depths of the soul at
the sight of a prison or a madhouse:

"NELLIE, THE BEAUTIFUL CLOAK
MODEL"

Most of our statesmen are too seri-
Gus, but Representative Kahn, born
in Kuppenheim, Germany, is one con-
gresham who sees the humorous side
of political life. On recent hot af-
ternoon in the house OF representa-
tives Mr.. Kahn said: The demo
cratic party has constantly assured
the manufacturers and business men
OF this country that there was moth
ing to fear from the legislation pro-
posed by the members of that party.
No doubt the manufacturers and pro-
ducers for a time believed the state
ments that emanated from the lips
OF the distinguished gentlemen on the
other side of the aisle and from the
gentleman who heads the executive
department of the government. They
had an awakening.
THE New York Sun published a
little item several months ago which
exactly pictures the condition of the
business world today. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Kind Words Can Never Die.
To the Editor or the Sun. Sir:
The kind words from the administra-
tion to the business interests OF the
country remind me OF the thrilling
melodrama entitled Nellie, the Beau
tiful Cloak Model"
In the early part OF the play the
villain pushed Nellie off the Brooklyn
bridge. Later, he threw her over
board from an Atlantic liner. Later
still. he thrust her under a descend
ing elevator. The next time they met
he said, Nellie. why do you fear
me?'"
The business interests OF the coun-
try have grown afraid of the legisla-
tion that was threatened and that is
being enacted by the democratic ma
jority."

HISTORY FROM FILES.

In these days when we are accus-
toned TO hear only of the glories of
the civil war and the heroic achieve
ments of Grant and only praise of
Lincoln. it comes as a shock to read
some of the history OF that great
struggle as it was told in the max
ing.
The Boston Transcript. which runs
a column called The Week in the
Sixties" recently published the fol-
lowing:
President Lincoln's call for 5O0,-
600 volunteers, issued July is, 1864,
was a reminder to the war-weary peo-
pie of the union that they had still
further sacrifice to make. The men
called, or rather demanded, might en-
list for one, two or three years, but
il they did not come forward in suf-
ficient numbers, or answer the in
ducements of bounties, the conscrip-
tion would be put in force. This call
yielded such disappointing results
that there was a deficiency of 3OO,-
900 men, and a supplementary call
for that number was sent out in De-
cember accompanied by formal noti-
fication that if this demand was not
met by February 10, 1865, resort
would be made to conscription with
out further delay. The date of the
original call was i'll chosen, for the
country was still sore from Grant
losses in the Wilderness campaign,
discouraged by his being compelled to
besiege Petersburg and fearful of a
check at Atlanta. The response to
Lincoln's summons was very slow
and he himself appeared to have lost
a good deal of his prestige. The
union seemed discouraged with him
and with itself"
This reproduction from one of the
newspapers of the time shows thai
the great chief of the nation, now
lauded without limit, was at that
time in danger of losing his hold or
the people. But it was the darkness
before dawn. The victories around
Richmond and finally AppomattoY
brought the war to a close. Lincoln
was vindicated by those who had
criticised SO bitterly.

hesitant and diffident; to try to find
some points upon which we can agree

To respect every human being and
to despise none; to shrink from spoil

power and control over people and
seek to serve and help people; to
value human soul above all morali-
ties, religions or laws; and to esteem
life greater than all institutions.
This it is to be-just human.

God OF the East will be invoked

divine championship to them as He
did to Tamerlane and to Genghis

Everlasting that His deeply relig.
ious" children so degrade Hin

the days when ancient murdererg

thousands and the tens of thousands
claiming that in a divine vision
God had commanded them so to do?
Have We stood still since the time
when, with hands reeking in the
! blood of their brothers and their sis
ters, these universal Gains ascended
into the Holy of Hollies and thanked
the Almighty in that He had made
potent their butchering arms, had
blessed them in their holy massacres?
How is the God that reigneth from
Everlasting to Everlasting to choose
between the prayers of Catholic
France and Catholic Russia on the
one hand, and Catholic Austria on the
( other?
J How is the Omnipotent that hear
eth the cries of all His children
that doth the ravens feed, yea provi-
IDENTIFY care for the sparrow-to de-
eide whether He shall help Protestant
Germany to make a Chicago stock
yards out of England, or shall assist
Protestant England in irrigating Ger
man soil with rivers of blood of the
bravest and best?
Now, be honest with yourselves,
dearly belovedJcross your hearts
three times, and answer-don't you
really believe that all these prayers
! to God put forth by contending muir
derers are just as ridiculous as they
are blasphemous, that they place the
Creator in degrading light, and that
they are an offense and an insult to
the gentle Prince of Peace?
And don't you think, also, dearly
beloved, that the only good which
could possibly result from this pres
ent criminal war would be if the
slaughter would be so awful-the re-
sultant famine so horrible-that the
universal world would declare and
enforce the ultimatum that war shall
be no more; that the battle flags
henceforth and forever shall be furled

THE PASSING OF AN AGED WOMAN
Mrs. William Hahcock Dies In Feepo at the Age of Ninety tw
Transformer Resident of WaIdwick

Eleanor Reed Babcock was born in
Alabama April S, 1922. and died in
Freeport, Illinois May 2, 1914. at
the age of ninety two years. When
bnt small child she removed with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Levi Reed
to Tennessee. Prom there the fam
lily moved TO Vandalia, Fayette coun-
ty, Illinois where she was united in
marriage to Mr., WIN NJ. Babcock.
About ls43 Mrs. Babcock with Der
husband located on farm near
Mineral Point, Wisconsin. where
they resided until the death of her
husband, April 81, 1893 Since the
death Of her husband, Mrs Babcock
has lived with her daughter, Mrs
S. NJ Rawleigh, in Freeport
Mrs. Babcock was one Of those
rare characters whom it is a privil-
eye to know Hers WIS one Of the
most admirable dispositions, aserene
consistent well poised character. whose
attitude invariably brought out the best
in her friends and associates, She was
always comfort and an inspiration to
her children and grand children. Her
counsel was always constructive, for it
dwelt always upon the possibilities Of
the best and the noblest in her children
or her friends. Association with Mrs.
Babcock always left a deeper apprecia-
ton Of the best things, a more firmly
fixed confidence in humanity and a
conviction that the world was growing
better.
Mrs. Babcock was one of TIE most
accomplishing. In fact, friends who
have known her intimately for twenty
five years have never seen her i'll tenn
pered fretful or impatient Although
in the last two or three years she was
very feeble from her extreme age and
required close attention. no word Of
complaint was heard from her, but
only expressions OF keen ana grateful
appreciation of every attention given
her
Mrs. Babcock's appreciation of the
beautiful has always commanded the
highest regard of her friends. Her
farm home was always well kept, and
in the summer time the house yard con
tanned a large variety of flowers and
foliage, and in the winter the residence
was abundantly supplied with potted
plants.
She was always student of current
events, a close reader of the daily press

Historic Forces at Work in Mexico.

To have recognized Huerta and given
him moral support. would have been
to deny all the proper tendencies Of the
age in which we live. The civil war
must have come in any case, for the
people Of Mexico would not have sub
mitted to q government Of tyranny
established through treachery and as
sassination. To balance the personal
character Of the bandit Villa against
that Of the soldier Huerta, was not
to arrive at any conclusions worth the
attention of the student Of politics and
history. Villa came to the forefront
because he happened to be a fighting
man who had identified himself with an
irrepressible revolution This revolu-
ton means the breakup OF an old
regime. Whatever the results may be
as regards the issue of war, there can
be no return to the kind Of government
in Mexico that formerly maintained
order and that Huerta would have
tried to perpetuate. AS result Of
this conflict there must be the clear
beginning of system that will devel-
OPP the peon into citizen. Mexico
needs reconstruction. Those American
military and civilian experts who have
accomplished splendid police, sanitary,
educational and other reforms in Porto
Rico, Cuba, Panama and the Philip
pines, could render assistance of al
most inconeeivable value to our Mexi-
can neighbors if they should be set at
work to direct the reconstruction of
Mexican life and government. Per-
haps peaceable way may some day
be opened for the performance of this
desirable service. But the time has
not yet arrived, though intervention
may hasten it. From 1.-THE Progress

Her memory was exceedingly active,
she being able to recall in her old age
numerous Incidents which happened
during her childhood and early life.
One of the songs which she sang in
her early life and which had always
been a means of comfort to her and
which in her feeble voice she sang to

children. Her active life on earth has
ended but the benefcent influence of
it shall continue to point to the better
things of this life and to the haven Of
