INSTINCT AND EXPERIENCE.
Sometime! a Noble Failure Serves the
World as Faithfully as a Distinguish
ed Success Lack of . Capital and
Patronage Farmers Frequently Fail.
He Who Makes No Effort Exempt.
Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan.
He only is exempt from failure who
makes no effort.
In the lexicon of youth, which fate
reserves for u blight manhood, there
Is no such word as fail it comes later
In life. ,
There are so many reasons which
can logically and truthfully be ad
vanced as causes contributing to the
numerous failures that I will endeavor
to analyze only the principal ones the
business failures.
Every failure is a step to success;
every detection of what Is false di
rects us to what is true; every trial ex
hausts some tempting form of error.
Not only so, but scarcely any attempt
is entirely u fullure; scarcely any the
ory, the result of steady thought, is
altogether fulse. No tempting form of
error is without some Intent cbnrm
derived from truth.
Failure is, in a sense, the highway
to accomplishment, inasmuch as every
discovery of what is fulse leads us to
seelt earnestly after what is true, and
every fresh experience points out some
form of error which we Bbnll afterward
carefully avoid.
In this article we have not the space
to treat of individual cases or their
many causes, but will deal altogether
with the commercial side of the ques
tionthe business failures.
Perhaps the most general and com
mon cause is lack of capital. Many
men venture Into business with Just
enough money to "swing" the enter
prise for a month, nt the end of which
time they expect the new business to
ho self supporting. It seldom Is, and
us the concern becomes n financial
cripple the Inevitable is sure to happen
failure.
Businoss Instinct Required.
It may be said In passing that com
bined with the first form of failure
there dre two others, lack of business
Instinct and business experience. And
lliese three ure frequently augment
ed by another equally' dangerous In
business, and Hint Is engaging in u
business of which you have no knowl
i'KO or experience in. No man can hope
to succeed in any line of business
where his principal quiililicaliniis ore
assets and Ignorance.
Hut without question the most pro
nounced cause of Imslmws falluro in
any lino or In any community is tbnt
of lack of patronage. No business con
'erii, professional man, church or
school can long endure without pntron
ane. Heaven's eternal wisdom has de
'Tcod that man should ever stand In
need of man.
Tlio beautiful must ever rest in the
arms of the sublime. The gentle need
tlie strong to sustain them, as much as
rock flowers need rocks to grow on or
lite ivy the rugged wall which It em
braces. Patronage Is the sustenance of
business, and without it failure follows
.lust as surely as death follows the rock
llnwer and tbe ivy when their support
is withdrawn.
Farmers Frequently Fail.
Listed among tho business men who
liequeutly full Is the farmer, the
urea test producer of us till, lie fails
for tbe same reason us do some of
our other business men because of
Ifcnui'.inee. Many of these men have
been born and reared us fanners and
imagine that is all the qualification
necessary to follow that vocation. It
is not Technical education, constant
study of conditions elsewhere and a
full realization of the necessity of
fertilization of his farm constitute
tlie Hint principles of the successful
farmer.
Few farmers linvo not been obliged
, to avail themselves of the local mer
chant's willingness to extend credit,
and now that tlio local merchant is
facing a graver calamity and a greater
pest than ever a farmer was obliged
to meet in tbe retail catalogue houses'
methods of doing business would it
not be right and fair for the farmer
nnd every resident of tlio community
to rally to the aid of the man who
rallied to their aid In days gone by
with a willingness only equaled by
bis confidence in his customer and bis
loyalty to his community?
When a farmer falls the wholo com
munity suffers, and the man who must
bear the brunt of the burden Is the
local merchant Ills capital Is Invest
ed nnd his hopo of return rests with
tlie farmer's ability to produce. If a
blight, a drought a cyclone or pest
, bugs destroy the crops the morcbant
must make tho best of it and "carry"
the farmer for another season or uutll
he has a good crop.
Loyalty Is the greatest vlrtuo that
man Ik endowed with, and the prac-tl-n
nf It now by residents of small
cities and towns In fuvor of the local
morcbant whose business Is endanger
ed by tbe retail catalogue trusts would
be a display of generosity manifested
only by men and communities whore
tho practice of tho Golden Itule obtains.
Indian Caricature.
Humor Is more or less a secular en
joyment, and its suggestion in pictorial
art therefore necossurily has a secnlar
significance. And as the chief motive
of Indian art was religious expression,
secularism in tho form of caricature
was novcr very much emphasized. But
this aspect though not very frequently
represented, was not entirely absent In
Indian art ICreu the oldest records of
Indian painting bear vvidenco to tbo
fact tbnt the sense of ridicule or satire
was not nltogolhor divorced from the
cuuoys of art of those times. "
' ACUTE APPENDICITIS.
It Is Dangerous Only When There Is
Delay In Operating. .
"Acute appendieits calls for immedi
ate surgery." says Dr. Wesley Uiove
Vincent, instructor in surgery at the
New York Postgraduate Medical School
and Hospital. Dr. Vincent insisted that
there was no medical treatment for
acute appendicitis and that the mortal
ity following operntlon was always due
to delay, the surgeon being culled in
when too late.
"The percentage of mortality in op
erations for acute appendicltU under
taken In the early stages of the Inflam
mation is shown by hospital statistics
to be very low. It Is practically nil.
The mortality in medicully treat
ed cases thnt are allowed to go on
to gangrene and rupture with general
peritonitis is practically 100 per cent
while late surgery' In such cases saves
comparatively few."
Appendicitis Is common among chil
dren between live and fifteen years of
uge. There Is no particular food that
can be singled out as especially liable
to cause It unless possibly fruits buy
ing small pits or seeds. Delay Is more
dangerous in children than In adults.

KNEW THE WORD "KIRK."
But Went Astray When He Followed
It Into the Turkish.
To bold down successfully tbe Job
ot governor of a state or vice pres
dent of tbe United States one does not
bnve to be up on oriental languages.
So the Honorable Thomas It. Marshall
never hesitates to tell this on himself:
It was ut n reception in Indianapolis
which took place when tlie Bulgarian
army wus driving the Turks out of
Thrace. The battle of Kirk Kelisseh
had Just been fought.
"Odd unme thnt Kirk Kelisseh,"
said the then governor of Indiana. "It
means 'Korty Churches,' or, rather,
mosques. Now, Isn't It queer that tbe
word 'kirk,' which, as we all know,
stands for 'church' in the Scotch ver
nacular, and which appeurs In German
and other lunguages of northern Eu
rope, should havo precisely the same
meaning in Turkish! It makes us
wonder whether all tongues may not
have bad a common source, and if tbat
Is so It would probably be found thai
that source was In the cust."
There was murmured applause from
every one except an unobtrusive little
professor, who hnd been hovering near
tho group.
"Pardon me, governor," he piped up,
"but your conclusions, while interest
ing, might be cullcd-er, a little mis
leading. It is perfectly true that Kirk
Kelisseh is the Turkish for 'Forty
Churches,' but it is tbo word 'kells
Beh' thnt means a placo of worship,
while 'kirk' means 'forty.' "
And the professor was right New

A South Pols Hero.
Captain Itonld Amundsen, tbe Nor
weglun who put tbe south pole on the
map, was born in Snrpsburg, Norway,
July 10, 1872. Ills youth was spent
In Chrlstlnnlu and on board scalers
and whalers commanded by bis father,
Captuln Jens Amundsen. He was
twenty-live when be entered on bit
first south polar trip as tbe first officer
of tho Bclgica expedition. This Jour
uey lasted two years and filled the
young sailor with usplratlons for fur
ther explorations in the frozen regions.
His parents wnuted him to become a
physician, and he spent a year in a
medlcnl college. Ijitor be went tc
Germany to study sciences that would
old him as an explorer. His first notn
bio feat was to take a ship through tin
northwest passnge, and on this trip be
twice wintered In the Ice. New York

EXTREMES IN DAYLIGHT.
There Is, In Reality, No One Longest
or Shortest Day.
It Is usual to regard Dec. 21 as being
the shortest day In the year und June
21 us the longest. But tills Impression,
like so many others that are Ingrained
In the popular mind. Is not a strictly
accurate one.
True It is. of course, that on Dec. 21
and June '.'1 respectively the sun reach
es its must southerly and most norther,
ly points In the zodiac and begins in
tin- one case to ascend and In tlie other
case to decline. But this is iu theory
only, because for two or three days
preceding and following these dates
there is no observable difference in its
position or lis hours of rising nnd set
ting. This question of latitude, by tbe way,
Is extremely Important when speaking
of the shortest or longest day or days
of the year.
In London and Its neighborhood, for
Instance, the shortest days are seven
hours nnd forty-live minutes nnd tbe
three or four "longest days" around
June 21 are sixteen hours and twenty
six minutes. At Tornea. in Finland,
June 21 brings a day nearly twenty
two hours long nnd Christmas one less
than three hours in length. In St. Pe
tersburg the longest day is nineteen
hours nnd the shortest five hours, while
at Spltzbergcn the longest day is three
and n hulf mouths, tbe shortest being
counted In seconds only. London Answers.
FEATHERED SCAVENGERS.
Crows as Track Cleaners and Gulls as
Government Workers.
As unique a crew of track cleaners
nnd police ns could be found anywhere
Is enlisted In tbe service of tbe South
ern Pacific railroad. The members are
neither Americans nor foreigners. It is
a crew of crows.
Tbe big black birds built their nests
near Uornbrook, Ore., on the northern
division of the road. Tbey have be
come fat and sleek living off the gen
erosity of tourists nnd of dining car
employees.
When the trains arrive at Hornbrook
tbe crows leave their roosting places
and circle ubout the depot As the Jlm
Iteds pull out the birds follow them for
five or six miles. Scraps are thrown to
them, and they devour every bit, polic
ing the tracks and acting as scaven
gers. The section hands and other em
ployees of the road realize the value of
these birds und keep tbem from being
molested. Trains crossing the Great
Salt lake are followed by sea gulls, the
lutter, like the crows, feasting on
scraps thrown from the diners.
In a similar way the great lakes are
patrolled by whlto winged gulls. The
government protects tbem, appreciat
ing the work they do in following the
ships or hovering over the fishing
grounds and keeping the waters free of
pollution. Chicago Iuter Ocean.
New Year Cells In China.
New Year calls are the custom in
China, nnd you have to pay them In
festive attire of silk or satin.
These line clothes (says Archdeacon
Moule in the Chinese People) can be
hired; the price being gradually lower
ed ns the hours ot the first six days
puss by. We complained once ot the
very late arrival of a caller, who
should have been ojuong the first to
salute us. He Tepllcd that money was
scarce, and be was obliged to wait for
the cheapest day to secure a fine robe
already donned nnd doffed by a dozen
of others. During these ceremonial
days tbe whole community seems to
give Itself over to indiscriminate gam
bling, n practice illegal and condemned
both by Chinese law aud standards of
morality, but winked at during this
season.
The Missing Window Pane.
"Every kitchen has n window with
one pane out In tbe Brazilian town of
Itlo Grande do Sul," said a cook. "Tbnt
town Is a servants' paradise. Servants
live In tbeir own homes there, as they
should everywhere. They come to
work at 7 In the morning, nnd tbey
quit nt 7 at night, a twelve hour day.
Quite long enough. Tbe paneless win
dow Is for the milkman, tbe baker, the
butcher, so tbat these traders can
leave tbelr supplies tbey usually cotno
early-ln a safe place. The Rio Grande
servant Is, of course, not there to re
ceive tbem. She is in bed at ber own
home."
Sizing Him Up.
An cmlneut Scotch astronomer tells
this excellent story ugnlnst himself.
no once explained In a lecture that a
cortulu star looked no bigger than a
threepenny bit a hundred miles away.
After tho dlscourso one of the audi
ence said to him:
"You must be a Scotsman, for no one
but a Scotsman would trouble about
a threepenny bit a hundred miles off."
