Hirschberg was a delegate from here to the Peace meeting held in Portland the first of the week. He says the meeting was largely attend ed and the enthusiasm manifested at the close of Ex-Preseident Tafts Lewis and is now at his home on a SUCCESS. - The crown of achievement looks best at a distance. Without the load-star of success our .efforts would squan der themselves in pleasures, and the memory of these is one of wasted davs. To youth, therefore, we must preach the sermon of sue-1 ay He "'-.xr ' , ! u i .-1 i i the few days at home with a . four teas. c iiiuot nuiu UJ uciuic uic uuug c,yci3, giauiuuicu. by the world and'the glory thereof, the lives of men, who have succeeded, who are envied, respected, praised ; and j mustered out soon we must encourage the young to go and do likewise if they can. And then you can do anything. The word "impossible" does not come into a man's dictionary until he is thirty.- Now, of course, this is most salutary. But if we look at success a little closer, perhaps we may see that this man's good fortune was the gift of the merest chance, that this other's success was attained by cheating from a cheating wrorld, that a third has risen to eminence on the fallen bo dies of others who were better than himself. Perhaps we may have to look for merit where failure is. Now, of course, this is not so encouraging, but perhaps it is true. But after all is said and done there is some merit in suc cess, taken not perhaps in individual instances, but "in the lump."

The kidneys pains we have paid for it. It is Dead Sea fruit, with a fair outside, but a heart of aches. In certain dyspeptic moments this thought comes to all those who have got what they wanted ;but that is not because the efforts which lead to succfess have been thrown away, not because the erood is not worth winning, but "because men crew tired. because success cones when life itself is failing, when hope no longer comes as blossomed and as miraculously as spring time, but when the fires of life are buring low and when they cannot, with all the stirring we can give them, keep the approaching winter of death at bay. Were it not so, the very dissatisfaction with success would be its redeeming feature. Were a man to be satisfied with the first small triumph, the first trivial achievement, what would become of him? It is not intended that success should lead to the folding of the hands in sleep ; and it is because achievements done look petty that we are urged on to others which loom in the future larger than these. This noble discontent mak es for progress." We have got from the past triumph all we could ; we have got all the education, all the strength, all the skill that directed effort, which did not end in de spair, could give us, and we are equipped for a struggle on. a higher plane for a nobler object; and we have the tion of red and white was carried out in harmony with pussy Willows and Oregon Grape and Mistletoe.
