EACH DAY o. THE YEAR

BY John Ken

POWER.
1 thirst for power. not that I MAY
others rule
Like some stern Potentate of auto
cratic school
Who night and day
Seeks strength that he may have his
wilful way,
But that my weakness I may control,
And in subsection hold my errant soul,
And thereby win the stores OF golden
pelf
That fall to him who's Master OF
Himself.

Special correspondent OF the Washlngton Herah-
New York, March n.-Around the
corner, next door-the clerk who waits
on you in New York may belong
to the great army THE Men Who
Have Lost" They are men who came
to New York to do big things, battled
against the elements, were sucked into
the whirlpool Of failure and then gent
" eddyied into minor positions for q
livelihood.
Many of them have only their ideals
left and they face the future bravely.
The fine thing about them lie their
uncomplaining manner and their readi-
ness to help others. What they have
lost in material prosperity they have
gained in sympathetic understanding
and an enlarged vision OF their fellow
man.
was privileged the other night to
attend a little gathering of THE Men
Who Have Lost" Among them was
a young man who, saved 5000 in a
Western city and then came to New
York to write a play. He spent FIVE
years at it and then his money was
gone and he is keeping books now in
a garage. There were several writer's,
architects and a dentist and a doctor,
now occupying minor positions.
They have given up their ambitions,
but they like to talk about them.
There was no rancor. Every now
and then these men get together and
discuss the dreams that never came
true.
Here is a toast that was said. To
me it was the most tragic thing
have ever heard:
ITO those who have lost,
Drink to those who have fought and
suffered
But whom success never knew;
Whose longings and suffeTings
Are ghosts in oblivion.
Drink to the hearts that have lost the
way,
! To the outcast loves
Who've gone astray.
Stand up!
The Men who Have Lost"

The biggest Chautauqua man
ayers in the United States have
pooled their interests, temporarily,
in the patriotic campaign to provide
entertainment for soldiers in the
cantonments and national guard
camps. Not only are they furnish
incl the best talent the Chautauqua
field affords, but they have, for the
time, merged their big competing
circuit organizations, which reach
$4,000 communities from coast to
coast and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf, to make the Smileage book

The campaign is supplying the
