Popular actors and actresses take
warning! Kir Henry Irvlug's recent
close call was the Inevitable con.ii
quenee of crowding social affairs Into
a profession which taxes the nervous
forces iiioio, pirhaps, than any other
In our complex modern llfo. It Is suf
ficient to undergo the strain of the
theater without adding to It that wear
nud tear which Is Inseparable from
dining out and speech-making, tho
highly exciting and, It will be con
fessed, also, fatiguing pastime for
brilliant men of mark. The world do
mnnds too much and the favorite given

The seriousness of tiro losses In tho
United States becomes conspicuous as
one gets down to details. Hero is an
Interesting comparison; The revenue
of the Statu of Maine In 1D03 was, In
round numbers, two million live bun
drcd and II fly thousand dollars; tho
Aamngo done by tires In the State dur
ing that ye.ir Is estimated nt five thou
sand dollars moro than that sum, with
out taking Into account the destruc
tion by forest tires, which would have
ndded more than a million dollars on
the wrong side. Doubtless almost nny
other .State would make quite ns had
showing; but such figures, whereso
ever found, aro full of suggestion.
Dishonesty in polities Is so generally
the rule that men who are honest :n
their private huxlncss do not hesitate
to falsify, cheat and steal In the mat
ter of political nominations and elec
tions If they can ilo so with any pros
pect of escaping punishment. Th?ro
can be no honest politics expressing
tho choice and voice of the people un
less, In the first place, the people are
enabled to take peional part by means
of primaries In nominating candidates,
and, in the second place, unless they
perform their public duty of qualify
ing themselves to voto lu all elections,
prlmury and final, and then go to tho
(mils aihI cast their votes. Kternal
vtgllauc Is tho prlco of liberty,
A Pittsburg 'steel magimto" now re
elding lu New York has recently cre
ated a fund of a million dollar far tfca
purpose of erecting model tenements In
New York. Apparently he desires to
duplicate substantially the splendid
bullJltifca de.Ised and control! d by the
City and Mubuiban Homes Company
tle.ni, Ughl, airy structures, tilted with
many mmU-rn conveniences wlnre e
e nt people can live In ton ort in
ehe.tply as In an equal number of mi j
whol.'Homo rooms In a slum. In pn
tine the model tenements herelofo
constructed nro a phllanthrop. em - r -
prise. The tenants pay for what Uu.v
get but they get a gre.tt deal moro
tlinn other landlords glo for th
money. 'J he tenements are n tunnies
enterprise also, and yield a piollt of 1
per cent on the m mey lnvclo !. I'o i t
less tho new one will pay as well, and
forty thousand dollars will become
available every year to build more ten
ements. Evidently this Is the feiture
of the good-housing question that tip
tieals most forcibly to the man who
gives the million dollars. He does not
I noul or wnnt the 4 por cent, hut he
does Intend Uiat his benefaction shall
endure and benefit an ever-Increasing
number. As a business man and as a
philanthropist he might Justifiably an
ticipate a day when, by tho natural
law of growth, model temment shall
displace the other kind. We speak of
business and philanthropy In the same
breath. That tho association no longer
seems absurd marks a distinct pain for
IkiUi. It Is entirely proper that char
ity, even, should bo administered on
business principles, and It Is right that
a man who Is helped to a more om
fortahle way of living should aid to ex
tend the hcnctlt to his neighbor. Tho
strength of tho model-tenement plan Is
that it recognlrcs thrso principles.
Thereby It appeals to many who, llko
the Pittsburg man, are able and will
ing to tlo generous deeds when Judg
ment apprves what generosity sug
gests. No mnn reaches the ago of triumph
but by the steps of trial. Ho makes
no particular progress by patting
himself on the back. Virtue may bo
Its own reward, hut It Is not Its own
advertising agent. Tho most success
ful men are not tho ones noisily, de
manding public attention. The Ik-sI
and most useful women In tho world
nre not the bright buttcrlles of the
stage, whose press agents Incessant
!y Haunt their pictures and their lit
tle nothings before tho public. The
uiilainlcd men and women who nre
quietly attending to their own little
tasks, every day contributing some
thing substantial to Industry and pros
perity, rearing children In habits of
honest labor and right living and sup
plying example that elevates tho mor
al and Intellectual level of their
llttlo communities these nro tho men
nud women of real lulliience nud pow
er. Huceess Is theirs In tho fullest
measure. Tim power of the locoiuo
tlvo lies not lii the tremendously puff
ing smokestack or lu tho shrill scream
of tho waste steam of tho s.ifety
valve, but lu the unheard, unteen, but
silently working steam In the cyllu
dcr. Tho swift Hying pl&ton seems
to bo doing wonders, but It Is only bo
lug forced back and forth by a fovea
It knows nothing about, but must
olMy. Just so the men wo call great,
because they seem to perform mar
vels, are but tho expression of tho
thought and Impulse of tho united
mass of unknown common people
No groat man ever yet sprang up ex
cept from a great ieople. It Is not
given us all to have success as gor
goous as (he rainbow. Hut It need not
matter. Success consists lu doing
jour best at whatever Is nt hand
or lu at least trying your best. In
deed tin real success Is moro In the
trying thnn In the achievement We
may achieve by chance help of others
or of forces that aro not ours. Hut
our efforts aro all our own. It Is
the efforts that aro u part of our
very selves.
