SUCCESS.

SUCCESS.
There are some people who never
receive any special consideration or
attention except when the elevator
stops for them. And then there are
others who stop the traffic.
1t is the usual thing 10 say the
first class are failures and the sec
ond class successes, but usual things
are not always so. Some so-called
successful people are successful only
in that they have stayed out Of jail.
They would have done a great deal
more good in the world II they
hadn't come down out Of their trees
so soon, or IL they had developed
some prehensile tails for themselves
and climbed back.
A failure is not one who has tried
and failed, but one who hasn't tried.
And a success is often one who
hasn't tried yet, but whose case IS
apt 10 come up any time.
You cannot always distinguish
success from a failure by the noise
they make. Many a sO-called success
Is built like the little cacan, an in
