Success lJnattanab|e When Lack Of Set-piance
And Sef-confdence Hamper An Attempt
ed Upward Struggle But Attainab|e When
These Traits Brought To Bear Their Force.
By G. s.

home and night fall is near, there is
no shelter, many misgivings. You
start so make your repairs. it is hard
work for you as. you are mex
perienced. You scarcely know how
or where to begin. The task seems
a hopeless one. Just as you courage
is about to fail you, you look and
perceive the same success stand
ing in the doorway smiling gently
as tho he was saying Il told you to
be careful" Once more he comes
to your rescue and repairs the break
for you. You mount the seat more
confident than before, but the good
genie will not trust you this time,
he climbs upon the seat with you
and accompanies you until he is
convinced you are capable of travel
ing the road of success alone.
Success is the product of intell-
igent, earnest effort. There is no
serving two masters at once (Indo-
lence and Industry. Thru the ex-
ercise watchfulness and care is the
summit of the mountain, the goa! of
success attained. The pleasure is
not all in winning, by any means.
The real exhilaraion is in the climb
ing.
You cont afford to fool yourself.
Your success depends absolutely
upon the amount of energy you
throw into your work. Determine
that in your case you will not re-
recognize the word failure" or com
promise in any way.
The road of success is narrow
and very seldom travelled because
it is steep anG very rough and
hard TO climb. But after we have
reached the top, we will all admit
it was we'll worth the effort we put
forth to get there. On the other
hand the road to failure is very
smooth and easy to travel and you
will see all kinds of people on this
great boulevard of life. The man
who said, Il was not appreciated"
the one who will explain that,
Others have had better chance in
this world than l." others say, Il
never had any luck in my life, or
fortune don't seem to favor me-"
and worlds of other excuses, but
my dear readers, if you stop to think
every one of these poor creatures
are the ones who got discouraged
too soon and let the little imps of
failure" come in and tell them that
they were not cut out" for that
kind or this kind of work, therefore
they quit this job or that job and
tried something else with the same
result.
Make up your mind that this lit
tie demon whispering in your ear
the word encouragement. is trying
TO force you to travel the road of
Failure. cast off the dead weight
that is forcing you down the road
of failure, throw off every pound of
extra ballast. let yourself soar in the
thought that you possess powers
that are yet undiscovered. Make a
shift on your reserve force. exercise
your faith in yourself and your sur.
roundings. You cannot navigate
far without courage and faith and
some of the best of us have gone
down for the lack of it. Cut away
from the influences and that rough
company that you associate with.
Seek only the approval of those
above you, and you will surely win
SUCCESS"

NIGHT BULL FIGHTS
MAKE HIT IN SPAIN
Madrid Turns out to- Witness Electric
Light Scrap and Takes to 1t.

MADRID, July 2O.-(Mail cores
pondence THE first bull fight ever
held at night, which was held here
on July 3, proved such a success that
it is believed the custom will be gen.
orally adopted throughout Spain, es-
pecially during the warmest portion
of the summer. The novelty of the
first bull fight attracted such a crowd
that the immense stadium was filled
to suffocation, for there was not a
breath of air stirring, and this largely
defeated the purpose of the new idea,
which was to escape the intense heat
of the day.
The spectacle, however, was a COM
plete success save for the lack of that
cleaning brightness and dead shade
which the Castillian sun alone can
produce. Hundreds of arc lights made
the arena so brilliant that there ap-
peared TO be an added risk to the bull
fighters themselves from any unfamil-
lar shadow.
The Spanish comic papers are anus
ing themselves and the people with
all sorts of drOll conceptions of what
may become of some of the historic
terms and customs for SO many cen
turtles bound up with SPANS national
sport. 1t is suggested, for example,
that in place Of calling the ''bleach-
ers'' Of the ring the sun seats" these
cheaper places be termed moon
seats Instead. too. of the custom
OF throwing at the feet of a skilful
tOreador hats, canes. cushions and
handkerchiefs. as tokens of the APP
proval of the crowd. it il limited that.
at the night bull fights, pocket electric
lamps and the incandescent globes
that light the terraced rows of the
stadium seats may come to be en-
ployed for this purpose-tO the dis
comfort of the banderilleros and tor
eadors.

HOLIDAY ALONG THE RIVER.
Only Necessary Work Done Today at
Industrial Plants.

Christmas is the holiday of the year
along the river. On other holidays many
plants and persons work a portion of the
day, but Christmas day only such work
is done as is absolutely necessary, and
care is taken to have as little of that as
possible Today all the lumber and wood
yards sawmills and machine shops are
closed UP. and most of the oyster and
fish houses are also closed.
At the steamboat wharves only such
clerks as are necessary take care of
outgoing freight were on duty. and they
were allowed to leave early in the day,
and with the exception of the Norfolk
line the Offices were closed. AS the Nor
folk line has boat out this evening,
some few clerks will be at the wharf to
look after business for her.
The river front looks as deserted as
on a Sunday in midwinter, with the
thermometer to freezing or below There
were some few visitors to the oyster
wharf this morning. but they soon left, as
oyster-laden craft are few in the docks.

OYSTER DEMAND GENERAL.
Potomac and Chesapeake Bay Varie.
ties Have Wide Reputation.

Potomac and Chesapeake bay oysters
have a reputation for excellence that is
excelled by oysters from no other por-
tion of the Atlantic coast and they are
in good demand all over the country.
In the past week the dealers at the
wharf market have shipped oysters in
the shell to almost every state east of
the Mississippi and several barrels
have gone as far west as the Dakotas.
While most of the oysters being
shipped are sent as Christmas remem-
brances by Washington residents to
distant friends and relatives, many
barrels are shipped to direct buyers.
A resident of Il northern state, who
had formerly lived here. sent an order
for a barrel of oysters to be shipped
to him and in his letter stated that
while oysters were to be obtained
where he was, they were not as good
as those from the Chesapeake and it's
tributaries and this Christmas he had
made up his mind to have an oyster
feast.
The supply of oysters coming from
the lower Potomac is still very light.

The Speed Maniac

All men should lift their feet
and kick against the cheerful lu-
natic who gives his car no end OF
power and burns up sixty miles
an hour. We see him whiz by
our abodes; we meet him on the
country roads: he kills our geese
and cats and dogs, and spoils our
Poland China hogs. We are with
terror stricken dumb when we be-
hold the monster come. and climb
a tree a furlong high to save
ourselves till he goes by. He
scorches through the country
town. and runs the leading grocer
down, and scars the local mer-
chant prince. and no regret does
he evince. Then comes a driver
safe and sane, who has not speed
upon the brain; he ambles by the
village tower at fifteen modest
miles an hour. The villagers are
sad and sore they've found that
speeding is a bore, and now
they're looking for goat; they
seize that driver by the throat,
ard take him to the donjon keep
where he may gnash his teeth and
weep. They fine him forty-seven
wheels. with trimmings added, so
he feels. when he's permitted to
withdraw. there surely ought to
be a law This happens every
day or three: the criminal too oft
goes free. while motorists who'd
not offend must paw the fiddler in
the end. WALT MASON.
