THE OTHER KIND
A good deal has been written
in praise o f “ divine discontent.”
But a great deal o f the discon
tent one sees is not that kind.
The average variety o f discontent
is born o f a hankering for what
belongs to the other fellow. We
are dissatisfied with what we
have because the other fellow
has something different. The
dull boy in school is discontented
because the bright boy goes up
into another grade, while he re
mains in the same old class; not
because he cares a whoop for the
higher grade, but he wanted the
bright boy held back with him.
Millions o f women admire pretty
calico, and could be perfectly hap
py in a new calico dress, i f other
women wore them too. There
are men who really love their
jobs and naturally would wish
for nothing better than a com
fortable cottage, with three good
meals a day, and an easy chair on
the porch at evening. But the
other fellow has a big house and
an automobile, so it makes the
man in the cottage discontented.
Discontent which stirs a man
to make the best o f opportunities,
to fight bad conditions that may
be remedied, is an excellent
thing. But discontent that mere
ly breeds dislike for the good
things that are ours, that spoils
the pleasure we might take in
what comes our way, that makes
us envious, irritates sores that
cannot heal, and breeds a mo
rose, hopeless, bitter attitude
toward life and our fellow men,
is far from being a divine dis
content. _______________
“ Nothing counts but success,”
said a man the other day in the
hearing o f the Leader editor.
This man might merely have been
expressing his personal opinion,
in which case he may be right.
But if he meant the declaration
for a statement o f fact, he is al
together wrong. Success really
means a favorable termination
o f any undertaking. As the
world interprets the word, it
means the accumulation o f wealth
c r the doing o f things that attract
the public eye. I f there were no
effort put forth but by men who
succeed in the end, the world’s
progress would soon stop. It is
the accumulated work o f the men
the world calls “ failures” that
makes advancement possible. I
take off my hat to the man who
tries, and he is entitled to as
much credit as the man the world
calls a “ success.” The man who
puts forth the best effort that
nature and opportunity have
made (»ossible, has done his best,
and a Nai>oleon, a Rothschild, a
Spurgeon could do no more.
Mr. Business Man, the Leader
is read by hundreds o f people who
do not see any other local paper.
I f you want to reach these hun
dreds o f people, you must adver
tise in the Leader. They will
appreciate an invitation from you.

Straight Talk a Virtue.
Everybody respects Ihe uian who
talks without circumlocution and who
means what be says, whose tongue Is
not twisted and who goes right to the
mark, never seeking to mislead or to
misrepresent Straight talk Is a vir
tue that Is practiced all too little. Im
agine what a different world this would
be If there were no other kind in busi
ness, In doinesUc affairs. In society. In
diplomacy — between employers and
workers, politicians und people, govern
ment and governed and In the profes
sional and the business world! How
large a part o f many men’s occupations
would be gone If there was never any
thing but perfecUy straight tnlk be
tween man and man!—Christian H er
ald.
Funeral Festivals.
The Greeks and the Romans never
prescribed chilling silence at funerals.
On the contrary, they regarded them
as festivals and entertainments and
chose these occurrences for the produc
tions o f their great plays. Every com
edy o f Plautus was first produced at
a funeral celebration.
And there is no other store where everything is so new,
so fresh and up-to-date, and none givin g better service.

"Going to England."
The Isle o f Wight Inhabitants are
not alone in speaking of "going to
England" wheu they leave tbelr own
fragment of the kingdom. A patriotic
Cornlshnmn also "goes to England”
when lie crosses the Tnmar. Similarly
Inhabitants o f the Balkan peninsula
talk o f "going to Europe" wbeu they
lenve their own corner o f the conti
nent—In curious contrast with the peo
ple o f our own Island. We regard our
selves as both o f and in “ Europe.” aud
accordingly it Is only “ the continent"
that we v is it The record in the splen
did Isolation line Is probably held by
that niinLster o f the Cnmhnies. In the
