STANDARD OF SUCCESS

It seems that men do not differ much below the shoulders; with mat part of their anatomy they get ab1ut the sane wages per day u this unsympaIhetic world or business; what they become from tue shoulders up makes the differ ence." Thus i5 it written by Dr. Foster, and somewhat Gs We must believe !n the professional spirit OI academic exaltati0u.
 Success in life is an elusive and relative term. II often serves as an advertising label where 1t is not deserved. quite aS frequently is 1t TCu iD terms Of service rem uered and not acknowledged. It IS Uor the exclusive reward of any pa.- tIcular profession CT class. Iu be- longs no moro to the arlstUcracy Of intellect than to the sturdy tOiIer behind the blow, or the artisan iu he work shop. Success and fame may be, and often arc coIncident, but they are not necessarily synOno nous.
 All else equal most men will readily admit that il Is from rne shoulders up that counts; but any cultivation of tie upper auatoMy which suggests disdain oI the wage per-day class or is Of tue hopeless trend tha- success within the ham bier wocKers' sphere lS impossible, Is of Uuw HulsOme eILeUt. The stanOuId or true success Is not thus to be designated.
 Every man wuo has found him sell has in that process evolved d certain reasonable consciousness Of his own powers and ImitatlOnA He cones to recognize that It Is not so much the sphere that counts gs his individual ability to tll the SpAGLE " W 4-SA all SEAkSA NS-4-@SS S1-- V 1OndiiiCus, best improved, nave con sgined him. h such Iield the best nart of his productive work may he achieved with the labor Of his hands; and hls own life and that Of his immediate circle may be enriched by qualities of mind and heart LEat are the simple moral and intellectual elements of splendid character. That is success It is not only possible, but it is the fact with very many men that the wages-per-day experience and con- ditions are essential to that best fuRctiOutng of the individual in the great social scheme.
 It is within the capacity Ot every man so to fashion his life that he will .eaYe the world a little better than he found il. Many men achieve that result who are never known beyond the neighborhood in which they were born. With Othe.s the Fame of service is deserVedly world filling; but the quality of true success Is not to be denied be- cause Of circumscrited activity and influence.
 ComDensation either in money or or in the praise that lies in the mouths of men is kot the true meas ure of human values. The gen uins test for each is to give in ser vice all that he has togive with bands and heart and head. That done the true verdict is success.

IT IS not the man with a cinch that makes the money. It is the fellow with the foresight. The man who sees possibilities the other fel- low is so used 70 that he passes them up. ..I iziAi ,

Beauty Of Pennsylvania.

h one respect only Pennsylvania is unchanged and interchangeable. Men have dealt harshiy aud shamefully by her. but nature LGS vIUwned her with beauty. Her founder. Knowing noth ing of bis broad tracts, save thnt they were forest lands. save tO the new province the pretty name of Sylvania. and Charles H.. always e postmaster of words, pretixed the Tenn, for which pleasant conceit every son and daugh- ter of the state owes him d grateful thought Thus the word Pennsylvania perpetuates history, hOnurs a noble name and symbolizcs the loveliness Of the land, a land of woods and waters hills and valleys. fat farms and rocky solltudes. The shriekinR engine that drags its trainload of passengers through the valley Of the Juniata, across ridge after ridge of the Ale ghenies, past the Tuscarora gap and the succession of narrows-Long. Mar rows, Jacks NsrrOws, PacksaddIc Narrows-has- trdversei a country so widely and uobly beautiful that in Eu rope. it would attract the tourists of the world.-AGnes Rcpplier in Ameri. can Magazine.

sems Geographical Doubles

Accidental doubles of geography are very curious. There are the two total ly unconnected GaliciaS the one in Austria Hungary and the one in Spain. AS to the Carpathians, the doubling occurs between the ancient and the modern atlases. On the map of the ancients we find people named Carpi in the north of what Is now Hungary and north of them the Garpatus noun talns. But ''Carpathian" in Yergil, Horace and Ovid means something quite different. The GarpathlRn sea was the sea between Rhodes and Crete. from the island of .Carpsthps, now scarpRnto, and the ."Carpathian old man" was Proteus, who lived and no doubt practced his quick ehangel tricks there.-LODdon Spectator. 2

To control an epidemic OF m
fantile paralysis, according TO a
statement issued by the United
States Public Health Service,
the chain of infection between
persons harboring germs of the
disease and the we'll members OF
the community should be broken.
Infantile paralysis is probably
caused by n very minute organ
ism found in the nasal, mouth and
bowel discharges of those who
have have the disease or who
are carriers of the germ without
themselves suffering from the all
ment. All of the steps IN the
spread of the infection are not
known but il this germ can be
prevented from passing from the
injected TO the well person, the
disease will cease. lnfantile
paralysis is not a disease of recent
origin. Sporadic or scattered
eases have occurred throughout
the country for many years but
it - only during the Last decade
that the infaction has assumed
epidemie proportions in the Unit
ed States.

Comment on the Wilson Platform.


Will 1t be believed that the Demo
cratic platform of 1916, drawn under
the vigilant supervision of President
Wilson IL not actually by his own
hand, contains this unblushing refer
ence to one of the most shameless of
the many perfidies recorded in politi-
cal history?
1--WE challenge comparison of our
record, our keeping of pledges, and
our constructive legislation with those
Of any party Of any time"
For an example, this pledge In the
platform Of 1912:
"We favor single presidential
term, and to that end urge the adop-
ton Of an amendment to the Consti-
tuition making the president of the
United States ineligible for reelection,
and we pledge the candidate Of this
convention to this principle"
One delegate from among 1902 voted
In the convention against the renom-
ination of the candidate who was
pledged four years ago to the princl-
pie Of q single term by the same party
that now challenges comparison of Its
record for keeping pledges with the
record of any party ut any time!

NOT A FRIEND TO BE SOUGHT
Man Who Continually "Blows His
Own Horn" Is as a General Prin-
ciple to Be Avoided.

Beware of the person who Is contin-
ually telling you Of the good he's do
Ing.
Something about that man is not
right.
He has some reason for desiring to
make you think him better than he Is.
He either wants to work you into
something, or he wants to reach some
one else through you.
The man who does deeds of kind
ness, prompted by a heart which Is
right, seldom tells of them. He might
mention one to an intimate friend, per-
haps, but then only incidentally.
The man who gives, not because he
really wants to do so, but because Of
some selfish desire, will never get
credit any higher than his own roof.
His desire for effect and his inslncer-
ity make him q man to be avoided
never trusted.
Look out for the man who wants you
to turn his grlndstone.

There Is loud chuckling In British

Somewhere In the North sea" GER

practice heavy fog came on. and the
ship whose turn 1t was to FIRE did not
sight the target until within 300 yards
range. She Immediately opened fire.
and blew the target clean out Of the
water. The senior officer Of the flo
