LUCK
By THoMAs ARKLE CLARK

TOE MILLER sat on a rickety chair
j in the ''office" of Hicks elevator
dividing his time between whiting a
pine stick and picking the snarls out
of his ragged unkempt beard. He
was forlorn looking figure, unwashed
and unattractive, his lips stained
with tobacco juice and his hands
grimy with dirt. How Joe had kept
soul and body together during his six
ty or more years no one could quite
guess, for he had little property and
he had never been caught working.
Joe really blamed all his Indulgence
and misfortune on luck.
Nov there's Bill Smithers," Joe
was saying as he rounded his whit
thing into shape, she's just rolling in
money He and / started together,
and sloOk at me. Nothing that / do
ever amounts to anything; whatever
he touches turns to money. He's al
ways lucky"
Joe did not remember that Smithers
mad been a hard worker since he was
a boy, that he had saved his money,
that he had educated himself, that he
knew mare about his particular line
of business than anyone in the coun-
try. What had been won by shrewd
hard sense and regular work Miller
attributed to luck.
/ should not want to argue that luck
never enters into a mans success.
Chance often, no doubt, gives man
an opportunity but it seldom helps
him in making the most of it. In
these days even oil vells and gold
mines are seldom discovered by luck
but are located through scientific data
and investigation.
/ have watched good many men
daring the last thirty years, and
have known some who succeeded and
others who did not have heard men
complain of ill-treatment by employ
ers and rail against the ill-luck which
they were sure was keeping them
down. l am more and more convinced,
however, as l have studied the con-
ditions that cause men to rise or
which keep them in subordinate or
inferior positions that there is very
little in luck. Success is almost al
ways inherent in a mans character,
is the result of his own strivings and
accomplishment.
There are not so very many bargain
sales in the market of life Things
may often seem cheap and easily won,
but in the end we are likely to get
only what we pay for-there is no
such thing as luck.
The majority of young men going
out to try the battle in the world look
for the good job, for the unusual
chance, for the opportunity that will
bring them success and fortune with
out effort.
There is no such thing as a good

Cedars of Lebanon Famed for Centuries

The cedar of Lebanon is native in
Syria, Asia, Palestine and the island
of Cyprus. 1t usually grows in the
mountains at elevations of 1000 and
6,400 feet above sea level. These trees
famous from early times in sacred
and profane writings, are large, orna-
mental evergreens with widespread
ing branches. They are noted for the
size of their trunks rather than for
their height as many people suppose
Until the outbreak of the World
war one of the original groves men,

Not Enough for Hogs

The doctor was holding a clinic ex-
aiming children of school age. One
youngster, aged six years, was under
weight. The doctor began to make in
quiries as to his diet, and the fol-
lowing dialogue took place:
"You, don't drink miIk?"
Nope"
"Live on farm and don't drink milk
at all?'
Nope, we amt got hardly enough
milk for the hogs"

WHY SUFFER ANOTHER
DAY WITH INDIGESTION 2

The big seller today for acute and
chronic stomach misery is Dare's
Mentha Pepsin and it is ouch a flne
pleasant and supremely good medicine
that IL the first bottle you buy doesn't
help you-your druggist win return the
purchase price.
One man writes, II Cannot understand
why any person will continue to suffer
from gastritis or indigestion when Dare'a
Mentha Pepsin is available"
And tens Of thousands Of people
many Of whom almost died with stomach
agony-think the same way.
Its the right medicine for any person
who suffers from bad digestion, gas,
heaviness and that feeling of suffocation
which is always dangerous.
For gastritis, indigestion, dyspepsia on
any stomach agony-2cute or chronic,
keep Dare's Mentha repsin in mind.
