ing a man who has made wonder
ful record as a trainman in the en-
ploy of the street railway system OF
this city.
Fifteen years is long time for
any man to operate a street car.
When that fifteen years is accom-
panied with a record of never having
had serious accident, of never being
late. and of never being off duty, it
is truly a wonderful achievement. No
words that l could utter tonight
would bear proper testimony to the
worth of Mr.. Allen to the Keokuk
Electric company.
81 hope that his achievement will
always be an incentive to others to
try to be as faithful and honest as
he has been and that others in the
employ of the company will use their
best efforts to initiate his record.
1--WE cannot let this occasion go
by without expressing to you in
some slight manner the appreciation
of the company for your services
during the past years, and on behalf
of the company l take pleasure in
presenting to you a Liberty bond for
$50. We hope that you will keep it
always and in the years to come,
when you cut the coupons twice each
year and cash them in, you will be
reminded that the officials Of the
Keokuk Electric company appreciate
the work you have done in the past
and wish for you many years OF
health and usefulness"
Kellogg on Success.
Mr.. Allen took the bond and SEEM
ed to examine it to see whether It
was real, or he was seeing things at
night. Then he said he did not know
anything about what he was coming
to the Hotel Iowa for, but simply
got an order and obeyed it. He said
in the future he would do the best
he can.

have found, as 1 believe he has, that
the real satisfaction of the days
work, or the years work, or fifteen
years work, is to the man who has
done it.
Il have always felt that success
comes from some definite, consisten,
line of action. While there are some
remarkable exceptions, my observa
ton is, that success comes from
sticking to one line of work. l can

Mr.. Allen and we all fully appreciate
him.

The other guests expressed their
liking for Mr.. Allen and their appre-
citation of his high character as a
real man, and then the talk became
conversation again. jokes were told,
and fnlly Mr.. Edgar won an argu-
ment with Manager Ingle by putting
a hard boiled egg into decanter
without marring the egg nor breaking
the narrow neck of the water bottle.
Mr.. Allen ran the first car over
the 1nterurban line when it was open
ed fifteen years ago, and on the an
niyersary, the other day, all the
newspapers on the line paid tribute to
his service which has been continu-
Gus since then. He stands especially
high for integrity of character and
sterling honesty, in addition to benig
a careful, faithful. expert railroad
man.

and enjoyed the dinner while he won

lis enlisted men.
1--WE were attacked off the African
coast, near Tangier," said one officer
in describing the battle. There were
five submarines, the nearest being five
miles away when we sighted them.
The Britannia came in between when
the subs had reduced the distance to
three-quarters of a mile.
"The submarines torpedoed and
sank the Britannia, while we made off
at top speed, sending S o s calls for
help. American destroyers joined us
and gave battle to the submarines,
sinking three with depth bombs. The
two others escaped.
1.-The casualties on the Britannia
must have been great, for many
bodies were piled on Shore"

NEW YEARS DAY.

We step into New Year. II Is q
great opportunity. The sun will rise
and set in the same way, and llfe's
duties will come and 60 much as they
do today, and nothing will be very
different or distinctive, and yet, we
say, the dawning Of New Year Is
gerat opportunity. 1t is our imagina-
tlon-surely a God-glven faculty-that
helps to make It so. Nature and the
bare facts of life do not show any DIFF
ference between today and tomorrow,
but something, nevertheless, does come
to us today with unique and a spe-
cially hopeful message. 1t Is the Won
derful helpful and alluring inspiration
that comes from the thought Of new
start We cannot absolutely begin all
over again; the stern experiences OF
the DAYS to come will soon show us
that we cannot. Yet in n sense we
can, and the sense In which we can
does mean great opportunity. We
can use that opportunity so that 1t
will not too cruelty disappoint us In
the end. We can really begin to be
the better thing that our imagination
pictures to us today. We ought not
to miss the opportunity.
