Excellence Need Fear Nc Rival

Multftudes of employees constantly
live in, terror of some one Who they
fear, is after their place. They are
suspicious of office politics, suspicious
that somebody working close behind
them is trying to crowd them out.
What is the result? This fear and sus-
picion interferes with their advance
ment to the place above them. In
stead of looking back and thinking Of
the men after their place they should
instead, look about to the man above
them, and be prepared for an advance
when there Is vacancy. Perfect
yourself in your line Of work and you
need never have any fear of others
rivalry. There is always room at the
top for the man or woman who has
stamped the trademark of individual
ity, superiority and distinctiveness
upon his or her work. Such a one
need have no fear of the usurpation of
his rights by others. His position is
assured.-Orison SWEET Marden in
the New Success.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1920-11-26

Real winners in life never show the
white feather. They are like the drum
mer boy in our Civil war, who, when
his regiment was being moved down
still kept pushing ahead, beating an
advance. When ordered to beat a re
treat, the boy replied that he had
never learned how-he had only been
taught to beat an advance
The finest type of manhood is never
overwhelmed or entirely dismayed no
matter what comes. If a man of this
kind loses property, if his ambition is
thwarted and his plans demolished his
spirit remains undaunted, his courage,
his resistance and his self-confdence
are undiminished, and he can start
again. Many a man has been made by
his failures, because he used them as
a stepping stone for his advance.
Failure Is the final test Of persist
ence and an iron will; 1t either
brushes a life or solidifies ft-Orison

Growing Roses in France.

The French farmers set their bushes
in rows about four feet apart on the
gentle slope of the hills, and, so far as
is possible, where they have SOUTH
eastern exposure. Young shoots are
taken from five-year-old bushes, and,
when they have grown, they are
trimmed to about foot in height, and
sucb buds as appear are picked Off, to
preserve the vitality in the bush and
to assure a large crop for the second
year.
After the bush attains the age Of
seven years it does not produce the
quantity or quality of oil, so 1t Is
pulled up and new one planted In
its place. The rose harvest begins
in April runs through May and June.

THANKSGIVING

By Mary F. Butts.
For all that Love has given
We offer thanks today,
For gifts OF sweet indulgence
| Strewn thick along our way;
The ever.changing beauty
OF earth's dear dwelling place,
The light of faithful friendship
In many gentle face.
| For times of JOY and plenty,
For times Of grief and care,
For want that sent US hungry
To the Fathers feet in prayer,
For the hard perplexing lessons
Blurred by fearful eyes,
Where we spelled life's holy lesson
By light of sacrifice.
With yearning hearts we thank the
For constant fatherhood,
That lifts our low ideals
To the far-off perfect good;
That chides our idle footsteps,
Slackening in the race,
And viii! not let US linger
Below the highest place.
That sends the stroke of sorrow
To wake untimely sleep,
That Furnishes transgressiOn,
Yet pities while we weep.
Words cannot hold the measure
OF homage we would pay.
Because thou art our Father
W e keep Thanksgiving Day.

First Girl Ever Photographed.

While France claims to have invent
ed photography through the genius Of
Daguerre, the painter, America is
proud of the fact that it was one of
her sons who photographed the first
face.
After years of patient labor Da-
guerre succeeded in taking sunlight
pictures of scenery on sensitive
plate.
This was in 1889, and year later
Prof. John W. Draper Of New York
took a photograph Of his sister Dor
othy, the first person to have her IKE

It took an hour to take the photo

Where Do Poets Composer

Where Do Poets Composer
But do poets ever write in gardens?
Swift, who was by way of being
poet, built himself a garden seat at
Moor park when he served Sir Will

wrote poetry there. ather, it was a
place for reading. Pope, in his pros
porous days, wrote at Twickenham,
with the sound Of his artificial water
fall In his ears, and he walked to take
the air in his grotto along the Thames.
But do poets really wander beneath
the moon to think their verses? Do
they compose ION summer eve by

Preserved Husbands Heart.

The heart of John Ballot, lord Of
Barnard castle, who died in 1869, was
embalmed and inclosed In an ivory
casket richly enameled with silver.
His affectionate widow. Devorgilla,
used to have this casket placed on the
table every day when she ate her
meals, and ordered it to be laid on her
own heart when she was herself placed
in the tomb. She was buried, accord
ing to her own direction, near the al
tar in New Abbey, which she herself
had founded in Galloway, and the
casket containing her husbands heart
was placed on her bosom. From this
incident the abbey received the name
a Dolce Cor, or Sweetheart Abbey.

Water Stored In Form OF Ice.

With the idea of getting away from

ERECT Of the Moon on Tides.
The moon, often aided by the sun,
pulls up the tide. It draws every OBJ
jecr on the earth to it. but only the
water, which is highly mobile, can
readily respond. There are two tidal
waves on earth. one beneath the moon,
and one directly opposite on the other
side. The cause Of the tides on the op-
posite face is interesting. The moon
pulls the earth away from the water,
and lets a bulge of it hang partly 70
lessed from the earth's control.

 its second game o= tsie season " ith

 Friday night. The Baptists are re-
 ported to have a strong quintet and
 are expecting to give the Crimson

 Regardless of the fact that Alabama has no regular coach in basketball this year she nevertheless has pros- poets of a strong team. The team is being coached by Capt. Bill Moore of Birmingham, assisted by Hercules Steiner of Montgomery. The first game of the season was with the crack Y. M. c. A. team from Montgomery, and resulted in a victory for the college team.
 Tn addition to Captain Moore the old men around whom the team IS being builded are Hugh Montgomery, Foopy Aston and Walter Kennedy, all of whom are forwards. Kennedy, who is a sperdy performer and fine goal shooter, has been handicapped by a bad foot All of the old men being forwards, new men had to be drawn on altogether for center and the guard positions.
 Garcia; Cuban and graduate of St. Bernard College. has the call so far at the pivotal position. Garcia possesses plenty of weight and go, and in addi- | ton has a true eye for goals. Bill I Dowell and John Hart are giving | Garcia goodrace for show at cen | ter,
