Success Lies Less

in the possession of special gift than it lies in
the human power to put to use the more or less
common gifts of which almost every one has absolute
ownership. 1t is a common custom to look around
outside of ourselves for somebody to do things,
instead of looking at ourselves for the best able
to do the job.
The doing of the actual work before and behind
us is the backbone of success. When we were little
we were each christened with name, but there is
within us as yet without name. This nameless
man has never been tried out. He may be an Edison,
a Ford, Sargent, an Alexander Graham BeN or
Joseph H. Choate.
Let us stop shilly-shalyng and call out the inner
reserves and earn at least simple interest the sums
somebody paid for to give us an education, to do
something more than occasional dreaming.
Examples such as this Store; the useful time
saving pneumatic tubes, rubber tires, typewrters-
only dreams aforetime-prove that when we add to
dreams practical work. something happens.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION. July s.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Essegnan and
small child of Bethel, while passing
through this place Sunday afternoon on
their way home from a trip to Boston
in their automobile, met with rather an
unusual accident

just rubber laprobe to shield them
from the rain. caught one Of the straps
in the steering gear and before the car
could be stopped the machine ran into
tree on the side of the road.
The flying glass from the broken
Windshield cut all the three occupants
of the car about the face and head
the baby being SO badly cut that it was
found necessary to call a physician tc
extract the bits of broken glass found
embedded in its face. The car was
towed to 4 garage.
