INSPIRATION

A RECENT Sunday newspaper
\ printed picture Of the head of
one of New York's biggest banks. He
was in baseball uniform, and but for
b mustache-an ornament now dis
carded by ball players-looked like a
professional.
The picture was taken at an out
ing Of the Bond club. The banker
served as pitcher for the New York
team. The type below recited the
fact that he got his first job in an
ALBANY bank because he was a crack
ball player, applied himself to bank
ing as eagerly as he had applied him
self to baseball, and in a few years
was well on his way to his present
position.
1t is needless to say that this par
dcular baseball player didn't put all
he had into the game. He was un-
usually gifted as pitcher, and might
easily have got into one Of the big
leagues, too.
But he had the good sense to know
that baseball was not steady bust
ness, and that banking was. And in
stead of Selling an opportunity to
make fairly big money early in youth,
he was content to try the banking
business on small salary.
OF course there are good many
men who started in the banking bust
ness when he did, and who are still
about where they were when they
started. But at least they still have
steady jobs. If they had taken to
baseball they would not be doing as
well.
Our object in referring to this par
ticular case is to call attention to
the fact that If you want inspiration
IN your work you can get it in the
newspapers-plenty Of 1t.
Brief bits Of biography such as the
one we have cited appear almost
every day.
Seldom is a prominent mans name
mentioned in connection with an i'm
portant affair that you do not learn
something about how he started and
why he succeeded. N
If you want to read about the fail
ures-and the horrible examples, you
can read about them, too.

bank clerk to bank president, an

literal translation Of 1t would be

it was only In very recent times

Something to Think About
By F. A. WALKER

Of the ever-expanding universe, you
may set 1t down that you are
marked for q mere initiating plOd-
der, Of which the world at present
has tremendous Over-supply.
No harm can come to you in ex-
plotting new fields.
1t is better to fail in untried ef-
fort than palnstakingly to avoid it,
for by exerting yourself you may
quite Unexpectedly arouse some dor
mant capability of whose existence
you had not the slightest suspicion.
Life 10 a search for substance on
which life depends.
1t Is through this search that we
discover things and get from them
useful results.
To take no part in this ever-ex-
banding search IL to admit defeat.
You cannot long continue in the
chase Of honor and fame without
soon feeling the exhilarating thrill Of
the ennObling adventure.
And when your blood runs hot your
brain tingles with clearing vision, and
your whole being becomes attuned to
novel surroundings, you stretch out
eager arms and cry in joyous voice
for more, more!
And the beautiful part of such ex-
perience is that what in your days
Of slackness you considered drudgery
barren Of results, resolves itself into a
thing Of inspiration, bearing you on
strong, swift wings to the top Of your
dreamland hill.

A WORD ABOUT FRANK BAR

Nichols. has spared no effort. The
number is replete with features of
interest. Edward Page Mitchell,
son Of Bath and accounted Americas
greatest journalist, Charles Munroe
Lincoln, another son of the shipping
city and managing editor o the New
York Herald, Arthur G.. Staples, an
other talented son and others dis
tinguished in Journalism contribute
to this number. The illustrations are
unusually excellent and interesting.
Mr.. Nichols is to be congratulated
and is being in the hcartiest fashion.
When, on August IA, 1897, Mr.. Mich
OILS bought the stock of the company
the Times was four page paper.
with its first page made up from the
stereotype plates which were shipped
by express from Boston to this as
we'll as to many other dailies in the
smaller New England cities-quite
the vogue in those easy going days
The record of this publication under
Mr.. Nichols ownership and personal
mana cement for a quarter of cen
fury is a tribute such as compare
lively few are able to win.
In addition to this achievement he
has made a success of the Bath In
dependent, of The Brunswick Record,
a fourishing weekly newspaper of
Brunswick, Maine, and has recently
acquired an interest in the Journal
Publishing Company of Biddeford, of
which he is vice president. Not
withstanding the eXactins nature of
his varied interests he has contribut-
ed generously to public spirited en-
terprises, has established wide &C
quaintance with State affairs and
during his term as member Of the
State Executive Council was a con-
slant attendant on the meetings of
that body and performed arduous
service on its committees, and has
never been looked to in vain for as
sistance in the activities of his city.
May his worth while career be long
one and as brilliantly successful in the
future as for the past twenty five
years.

AWAITING A CONFERENCE?

The last sentence of the report
from Scranton, Pennsylvania, Tues
day morning, of the attack by mob
of 900 on the railroad round house is
illuminating and instructive. 1t
reads: NO one was injured and no
arrests were made
1t should have added that good
time was had by all-save by those
in the round house.
One might incidentally remark
that rabbit has been known to kick
dog in the face.
1t is further illuminating to read in
the same edition the news dispatch
from Sparta, Illinois, the state in
which Herrin Of nauscous infamy is
located, that a crowd Of men near
there burned a trainload of coal from
a non union mine in kentucky.
This of course is open warfare
against inter state commerce but we
have not yet learned whether an
emissary has been scnt to confer with
