when ho steps out Into that lit
tie world ho Is about to fashion
for himself, that there Is always
plenty of room nt the top, and goner
nlly by tho people who havo never
been there peoplo who wouldn't
know the "top" from n hole In the
ground If they saw tho two side by
side. 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

It ho Is n failure. Tho mnn who
would rather spend his monoy than

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

would dig n holo In tho ground bis
enough for n decent sized cellnr, aft

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.
