Lady Ernest Shackleton, widow
of the noted British Antartic
explorer, and her three children
are destitute as an appraisal OF
the late explorers effects show
that he put all his cash and
securities into the last polar ex-
petition. He was a brave ex-
plorer, fearless in travelling
trackless and unknown wastes
that he might find out for man
more of the mysteries of nature;
but it always seems as if there
might be a question whether a
man has right to risk not only
his all but the present and
future. Of his wife and small
children on an adventure of eX-
ploration. He is risking- but the
short, sharp agony of a lonely
death; for her, he is risking the
weary endless days of years of
toll and responsibility as she
bridges the chasm between in
fancy and maturity of a father
less family.
The New Success Magazine
says that every employer grades
his employees in his mind in GER
tain classes. One class is made
up of those who are invaluable
and cannot be replaced. They
are the dead-in-earnest, accom-
modating, enthusiastic kind who
always help out in a pinch. Then
there is a second class who are in
routine way without great en-
thusiasm but painstaking. These
get into a rut and stay there in
clerical positions. Then there is
the third class who are always on
the edge of discharge and who
would be replaced if anything
better turned up. Their idea is
to just get by and they are more
or less the foaters in the bust
ness world. 1t wouldn't be bad
idea to give yourself a private
examination, whether employer
or employee and see what class
you are getting into.
There is a legend that once
there was four Smiths in the
United States Senate. But that
must have been in the days be-
fore the melting pot came into
vogue. Now we have such names
as Atlee Pomerene, Tasker Oddie,
Reed Smoot, Holm Bursam, Fur
nifold McSimmons, Irvine Len
root, Carter Glass, Nathaniel
Dial to show how really cos
we have become. Ver-
mont still sticks to the old style
names like Dillingham; and Page,
out Vermont is said to have
diluted her colonial blood as
little as any state in the Union.
