Am | a allure?

How often, when blue and
respondent we ask ourselves
the question, Am a failure, or
how may | become a success2
Fred A. Walker, a New York
editorial writer, once wrote an
editorial on Success in which
there appeared this paragraph:
He has achieved success who has
liveN well, laughed often and
loved much; who has gained the
respect of intelligent men and
the love of little children; who
has filled his niche and accomp-
llshed his task; who has left the
world better than he found it
whether by an improved poppy,
perfect poem or a rescued soul;
who has never lacked apprecia-
ton of the earth's fine beauty
or failed to express it; who has
always looked for the best in
others and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration, his
memory benediction.
If you would know whether
you are a success or a failure,
apply this test to your own life.
When you ask yourself if your
neighbor is aGailure or a success,
apply it comb cientiously to his
life, his deeds, bis opportunities.
Be he preacher evangelist, law
yer or blacksmith, the test is
equally applicable.

DEATH

So years old. So claims the statis-

When the Civil War started, the
average, duration Of life was only
about 40 years. In George Wash

Mark, these are average figures.
The gain has been made chiefly by
cutting the death rate among chill
dren, especially babies. People who
reach maturity don't live any long
err than formerly, if as long. Fewer
die in early youth, that's all.
