The Elements Of Success
 Article V. "On Finding One's Sphere"
By JOHN H. FRYE President Traders National Bank.

Disraeu said: "The secret of success fin life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when 1t comes" If a man prepares himself. and is competent. he is certain to be given all the prefer ment he is capable of taking adyan- tage of. there is no danger of being overlooked For, except under unusual and temporary conditions, there are not enough men to fill the important places.
 As indicating the lack of capacity and frugality, statistics show that aft CT 50 years of age, 95 per cent of peo- pie are dependent on their own labor or on their children for living. This be- ing true, one must recognize that by the law of averages. he has only one chance in twenty to be financially in- dependent. This is said, not to be dis couraging, but by way of suggesting the need to study your capacity, and to endeavor to find your proper sphere.
 A man is happier and more useful in doing ordinary work well. than when he undertakes a larger enterprise to which he is not suited. As is taught in one of the parables, 1t is better to sit in humble place than to take high station and Ee required to relinquish it. For example, it is wiser to be satisfiei with the position of bookkeeper, if you can do the work well, than to seek the management of the business. if that is beyond your capacity.

Colonel Robert Mckee
By CHAPpELL CORY

By CHAPp A very great man was Col Robert Me Kee. So he seemed to me in my youth and he still looms large through the mist of the years.
 The Confederate war found him bril- liant young writer. come Up from some kentumky town to edit the Louisville Courier. He came south with Brecken- ridge. and the end left him hunted rebel in the hills of Bibb and Perry. Amnesty sent him via Marion to Selma where he soon founded the Southern Argus, marvellous weekly in it's day. We took it at our house in the nearby county of Autauga, the only secular paper It came lip from Burnsville by Star route every Friday. and we stopped and got it always from the postoffice on our way home from Ivy Creek School. To us chil- dren what a veritable treasure house it was, especially the weekly story
 The first time I ever saw Colonel Me kee was in the early seventies, at grand democratic barbecue in Burnsville, just over the Dallas line. the second sta ton out of Selma, where all our part of Autauga. took the cars then, just as tirsy take them now. Dallas had a negro judge and Autauga a negro sheriff, md both counties were there. making a des- perate effort toward redemption, Datas had put forward Pettus for senator and Morgan headed the ticket for the house. That same year my own father lead the forlorn hope in Autauga and I was steeped to the eyebrows with hero wor- ship of such editors as Mckee, and such orators as Morgan and Pettus. already the two mighty men of that region.

FAMILY TRADITIONS


 These traditions have their place, but it is not always possible to live up to them. A mans father may have occu- pied higher station in life than the son is capable of filling, but this is not to better endowed by nature, and the son has done his best. Under such conditions it is a great mistake to become sour or sponsible for the use of the talents he also a grave error to try to maintain certain standard of living, because ones family or friends live that way.
 A mans own income is the standard by which to determine his style of living: if your friend has a larger income than you have and you cannot keep the pace he sets, it is better to find another as- sociate. The equation of life is a per sonal one, and each person must work it out for himself: he cannot work it out on the lines followed by others. And fortunately, happiness is conditioned upon our attitude toward our condition, and not upon what we have.
 In the case of some prosperous peo- pie, life may on the surface. appear to be very easy, but if we were familiar with the circumstances. we ght know that it is not so. There is a legend that the nightingale sings it's sweetest songs with its breast pressed against a thorn. The moral is that before wish ing to exchange places with one who is gifted, or who occupies a high sta tion, we should be very sure whether that person is as happily situated as

said; ''WhateveP job I had was to me always the very best in the world. and tried to fill it. If I had any system in my labor it was first to do my own work; second, to teach the fellow be- low me how to take my place; third, to learn how to fill the position ahead of me"
 By proceeding as has been suggested, one is certain to be accorded, ultimate ly. the best place he is competent to fill. Anyone can be faithful; but, be- yond a certain point capacity cannot be acquired. And it is no reflection on a man that another is endowed with greater mental ability than himself, on the same principle that it is no re- flection on him, if another is endowed with greater physical strength. Honor and shame from no condition rise; act well your part. there are the honor lies"
 A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
 In the economy of Nature there are many functions to be performed As someone has pointed out the patient OK converts a ton of hay into a few pounds of steak, and the busy quail seeks out the hardest seeds and grains in the most inaccessible places, trans forming them into dish fit to set before a king. So, in the human econ omy, each one of us has a place and a mission to perform; and in the final day. the test will be conditioned not upon the prominence of our work, but upon the faithfulness with which we performed it.
 While the foregoing is true a premium is nowhere placed on incompetence. With all it's content of love and mercy, the Scripture says; Whatsoever thy hand findeth to d\ do it with thy might.n and "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise" Notwithstanding differences in the capacity of people. any normal person can fill useful place, fl he will apply himself to it. The income resulting may not be what he would de- sire, but, in that event. expenditures must be made to conform to it. It is far better to be a capable mechanic and live within ones income in the suburbs, than to be an incompetent manufacturers live on boulevard and fail to pay ones debts.
