It is an old fnllocy a piece of antlquo hum-buggery. Tho man at tho top Invariably pushed someone off to get there. Did you ever stop to think what a monstruouH tragedy this world would bo If ovoryono had tho ambition to be nt the top to bo president or a multi-millionaire? It Is usually tragedy enough when thrco or four men have tho same ambition. What would it bo If wo all hud It? Tho man In tho moon would pray for a wider orbit. Every failure has been a stepping stono for some man who has mudo a success. It has always been so; It always will bo so there Is no help for It. I am no advocate of tho "hookworm;" but I have a mighty lot of sympathy for that great mass marked "failures" arbitrarily mark ed, too, by peoplo who don't know what success is, only ns they seo It. A world full of successes would be tho most stupendous failuro over dreamed of. If overy pink promise brought forth a peach, tho tree would bo mashed to tho ground beforo a single ono ripened. If every man In tho world were a millionaire, thcro would be millionaire tramps at that this old world Is all right Just as It Is. Xo deck Is complcto without tt two-spots. How In snmhlll would a mnu know ho was successful unless he had tho means to draw a compari son? I want to lny this down: If overy man succeeded in getting what ho wanted, ho would commit suicide. Thoro would bo no race sulcldo It would bo Hiilcldo of tho raco. I havo a notion that most nil of us cut down Just about as big a swath as wo can bind up. Thoso lost oppor tunities aro ltko tho tlsh that get away thoy look bigger after thoy got off tho hook. Ono man likes to count his money; anything ho wants looks cheap. Then thoro aro somo who llko to read obituaries and at tend funerals. Thus wc seo tho wisdom In tho divine plp.n of economy. Tho man who saves his monoy and has to be prlod looso from every dol lar shudders for tho man who spends It ho Is n failure. Tho mnn who would rather spend his monoy than Ilgure Interest, counts tho other life ns wasted a failure, to his notion, lloth dead wrong. So long ns ho doesn't Interfere with society, that man who conies Still, it doesn't reduce one's oxpen nearest doing what siiI.Ih him comes, ses much whon tho morcury comes nearest to bolug successful, nnd ho down. may bo a tramp at that.

This snmo Uncle DHIy I spoko of once had a tenant for a twenty or thirty aero patch of ground, by tin name of Levi Dare. Now, Levi spell od "failure" In big capitals, accord ing to tho concensus of neighborhood opinion. He could sit for nlno houri on a log waiting for n blto, whon It would almost havo been tho death of him to sit for an hour sprouting no tatocs. Ho would walk twenty miles and carry a gun, and when ho enmo homo, turn a hand spring In the yard when, If ho had walked half that far and followed a plow, ho would havo had to havo been put to bed. Ho would dig n holo In tho ground bis enough for n decent sized cellnr, aft er a wolf, when his back was so lamo ho couldn't spado In tho garden. Children woro criticized by being told thoy woro as lazy as old Lovl; as shiftless as old Lovl; as worthless as old Lovl and so It went. Ono morning, In middle winter, Uncle Dllly, along about C o'clock, was up calling his hogs. Later In tho dny ho mot Lovl. Aftor tho usual country greeting, "How'ro you?" was passed, Levi said, "Ullly, this morn ing, whllo I was lying In my good warm bed, I heard you out In tho cold and tho storm calling your hogs, and I felt so dadburned sorry for you that I mighty near cried." Thoro you havo It. Ono of thoso men was marked n success; tho other a failure, lloth successes, only from different viewpoints. 1 havo thought at times that tho tramp has a philosophy thnt la not all bad by a good deal. I mean thnt Ir responsible Individual of penury nnd good humor, who works hero toduv lives riotously tomorrow, and tho noxt dny, maybe, begs a meal somo placo olso, and all tho tlmo followa Hummer's circuit. Ho hnB no moro responsibility than a Ilea on a good, healthy dog. If thoro aro castes and classos among Insects, tho flea Is surely a damned llttlo aristocrat. Ho Is no moro to bo compared with tho ant ,and tho boo thann galloy alavo with a member of tho royal family. Tho ant works all summor nt least ho makes work out of his Idiotic foolish 11088, and thou, whon wlutor conies, ho freezes hnrd as n brick; tho Ilea lives In blankets nnd lunches when ho plenscs on the fat or tho land. Tho nut labors to construct n don whore ho freozes solid; man builds for the Ilea a warm nnd commodious homo, and then stocks It with provisions. This won't do I don't bollove moro thnn half of It myself. SHIPS SA IN ON ALLIANCE Steamer Leaves Here With About' 8,000 Cases of Fish For Portland.
