Talent of Success
The talent of success is nolhing
more than doing what you can do well
without a thought of fame If It
comes at all It will come because It
is deserved not because it is sought
after It is very indiscreet and trou
blesome ambition which cares so much
about fame about what the world says
of us as to be always looking in the
faces of others for approval to be al
ways anxious about the effect of what
we do or say to be always shouting
to hear the echoes of our own voices

CHARM RIPENS WITH YEARS MAN AFOOT SEES SOMETHING
Woman of Forty five Has Many Ad
vantages Over Her Younger
Sister
Youth is nearly always crude blun
dering selfish heartless and ignorant
It is here to enjoy and not to Inspirit
to fight for its choices not to forbear
and assist It knows little toleration
and lives for its own bright noonday
These qualities we need hardly say
are not those which bestow power or
arouse the better kinds of love Youth
however grows beyond these grave
faults Life deepens and softens char
acter The lessons of error suffering
and sorrow round out the nature At
45 a woman may have ceased to be
young but she is far from having be
come old The age of real under
standing has begun and understand
ing remains the greatest of all human
forces Men are drawn to women far
more closely by mental sympathy than
by good fc There are but few
very beauu i women In the world
There are thousands of ideal friend
ships between men and women Time
and time again have we seen the wo
man of 45 the woman who was no
longer youns win the prizes of life
right in the teeth of those crude
enough to be her daughters Ttfe
young can give their youth but the
mature can give their help
We all know youth in art Its enthu
siasm its posltlveness Its self-sufficiency
its failure It is not until her
youth has passed away and nature be
gins to be at war with knowledge
craftsmanship and Intention that the
artist actress the artist singer
achieves richest results You can
not play Juliet and look It runs the
melancholy theatrical proverb
And to youth with its limitations
can and does laugh at maturity with
its disabilities And it laughs the
louder because It is the younger

to start for the matinee

Notices Slight Abatement of Air of
Superiority In Demeanor of
Automobllists
Do you know I think I observe
said a man who goes afoot a slight
abatement of the air of superiority and
contemptuous exaltation that has long
characterized the faces and demeanor
of those who ride past in automobiles
It may be but Blight but I thing it is
noticeable
They are nvt quite so superior and
exalted to the common herd afoot as
they were They still loll back as the
chauffeur honks his horn or sounds his
chromatic bugle and they still think
if they think of you at all that it is
up to you to jump If you dont want
to get run down but I think that just
a trace of the original superciliousness
has gone
You see the automobile has now
become more or less famiiar to some
people and there people I think now
rhow a little less hauteur enough less
I think so that you can notice It
Those still new to the machine reveal
that fact plainly but those now more
accustomed to it are now it seems to
me a shade just a shade less Indif
ferent to you than they were Signs
of ordinary humanity are coming back
into their countenances
Not but what you have to jump
just the same when they come but
this slight Change of expression I re
gard as hopeful highly hopeful I
look for a further softening and hu
manizing as the machine becomes
more familiar still In fact I do not
doubt that the time will come when
the average autoraobilist will have re
turned so near to the earth that he
will be little If any more contemptu
ous of you or more Insolently Insis

Remarkable Water
v O Henry said a magazine editor
once held a glass of muddy water
toward the light and said
Id have called this water crystal
clear in my cow punching days The
water I then drank was so bad that I
had to throw it in shovelfuls against
a coal screen in order to strain the
lumps out of it We started it run
ning from the faucet with a gimlet
and we treated it with vitriol and sul
phuric acid to destroy the germs But
many of the germs were too large and
fierce foi such treatment and these
we tied to trees and shot

In spite of the weather man and his prophe

you have a Bell Telephone for you can sit at

Personal shopping and making calls and long trips clurins th hot
summer months and dusty fall season is far from pleasant but if you can
telephone your butcher and grocer and make him ccme to you wind dust
