IE GOOD ADVICE RUSSIAN SQUADRON Ella Wheeler Wilcox Gives Some : V Business Pointers. SUCCESS IN LIFE'S VOCATION Don't Condemn Your Competitor, But Say a Good Word for Him, and by Enterprise and Contervittive Buti- act Methods You Will Succeed. A young man, scarcely more than a lad, has written me of an enterprl. fe has In mind, and assures me that ulth the co-operation of a few mature . minds he will succeed, or, as 'he ex presses it, "Get ahead of rivals in the same line of endeavor." I do not like this phrase, or the idea it involve. No man or woman should harbor the ambition to "get ahead" of others In mental, moral or purely business mat ters. Where there is a tvntest of physical powers, a swimming, running or jump ing race, the expression is well enough but outside ,of such tests there aire higher qualities to be considered in tile effort toward achievements. In trades, in the professions and in the arts there Is never an exact method of procedure or an exact re suit which places these occupations on a level with physical sports. Individuality always enters into the success of any man m his life voca tion, be that what it may. The one thing to consider in any occupation undertaken is the best and most com plete development of individuality. Instead of lying awake nights and planning ways to "get ahead" of com petitors, devote yourself to the devel opment of your best abilities, you most original powers and jour high est 'aspirations. ' j "Get ahead of yourself," not of some rival. If you have a shrp or an 'office next door to a competitor, wish him good fortune and say a word for him when occasion demands, and to your self say, "Whoever comes into this place of business shall receive the bes treatment and the most courteous at tention in my power to give. Xo one ! hell find negligence, careless methods of lack of politeness. I will deserve success, and it must come to me." If you dq not succeed as you desire Jook to yourself for the cause, not to th fact that you have a competitor. The competitive system in this land Is before long certain to give place to co-operative methods', but until it Joe you must think less of driving your adversary from the field than of mak ing yourself a desirable and agreeable person with whom to deal. Id the professions and the arts the same rules apply. My young correspondent was about to start a newspaper in a suburban town. His great ambition was to "get ahead" of the rival sheet. Far more success would come to him were he to aim at making a newspaper so Inter esting and admirable that his rival would be inspired, with new ideals, and the town would eventually be blessed with two thriving and progressive newspapers. There is always more demand for two good things than for one poor thing. ' To do something which the world will think Is better than our neigh bor's effort is a poor ambition beside that of doing the very highest of which we are capable. That is the ambition to cultivate. No man who does cultivate It will ever be ranked amor? the world's fail nres, though he may more slowly ap proach his goal than his competitor who takes the "juick rich" method the metnod which not infrequently naeeHfftates an additional phranet-- "quick rich and pprmanently dlsreput able." Intsead of Hying to gt ahead ol your ne!f?hbor try and catch up with your own highest ideals. That mtans a final success worth having, even if your ideals keep so far beyond you that you never quite attain them. Fleet of Forty Two Vessels Sight ed by Steamer.
