The Secret of Luck Sucess

(By Max O'Bell.)

Talent helps a man to obtain success, but it ia character which secures it for him. A man will succeed witn char acter and very little talent, and will never succeed without character, what ever talent he may have at his uis nosal By oharaoter T mean honesty, itetdineiaof parpow, uot, pw»w anoe, industry, sobriety, gelf-control, reliability, and strict punotmht-y. lh« man who possesses these qualities need not leave the old world and try now countries to get a better ohance in life ; Wherever he goes, wherever he happens to bs he is bound to be euooessfu., simply because he ia wanted, indispen sable everywhere. When you are in th© presence of a nun who for many years has been a GEBAT SUCCESS IN LIFE, take it for granted that you uave be fore you a steady, sinonre, honsat, and reliable man. Whatever talent he may possess is o! no ase to him unless that talent is the servant of his char acter, and you will find that this holes good, no matter what may be the par suit in life of that m*o. It is o^»Q£ fco the absence of character that great geniuses have been kaown to die in Poorhqiueß. It is on account of their character that men with little talent have died millionaires, and most re spected ones, too. It n nob the clever est boy of a class who is at the top ; it is generally the one who has the strongest character, Of course, if he has both genius and character, hs stands beyond competition. That goes with- Out laying. There ia no luck in life.

MJOS IS OP OUR OWN MAKING. Look means rising at s X ia the morn ing, living on one dollar a day if you inftka two, minding your own business and not medd ing with other people's ; lack means the hardships and privations which yoa have not hesitated to en dure, the long nights that you have devoted to work; luck means the appointments you hsv-e never failed to keep, the trains you have never filled to catch ; lack means trusting in God and in your own resources, a religion whose motto ia "Help yoursslf and Heaven will help you." Luck oonaea to those who help themselves and know how to wait If you are successful, all the social failures will howl at the top of their voices that you Lave always been lucky. You may certainly be lucky for a short timp, but you cannot always be lucky, any more than you c%n always be unlucky. The only way to be lucky—that is to say, successful —into

LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANGE, bot to work and work and work again ; to inspire cartfidence in others by the strength acd uprightness of your character ;to make yourself india* pensablls! t;y your reliabili'y and your devotion to your calling, pleasant by yonr cheerfulness, respected for your honesty and sincerity ; and alwaya to br-ar in mind that what can be ob tained once by trick means can, as a rale, be obtained for ever and ever by honest one?.

New Train Headlight Unknown

A PREVENTIVE OF COLLISIONS.

On fast trains running between Chi cago and Sfc P»ul and Minneapolis the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St Paul Rail road is osing a new electric headlight which, it; is claimed, will make il head end " collisions practically impossible. That is to @ay, by means cf the new light yoo will be able to tell whether or Dii a train which ia invisible to yon is coming lonnd a corner. The distinc tive feature of the light is a vertical ray which streams into the heavens, and heralds THE APPROACH OF A T^AIN when it; is from one to ten milea away, according to the topography of tho country. Several demonstrations of the effectiveness of the light have been made at'Morton Grove, where railroad officials from all parts of the coantry bave watched "No 6 "come over the bill five miles away and pass in a blaze of light. In looking ahead an engineer would sea the vertical rays of the hoad light, aa the carve of the horizon brings it on a level with bis eyes. The new light: also..makes SIGNAL LIGHTS SHOW PLAINER, Instead of obscuring them. In many of the country districts of the United Kingdom accidents which are now easily possible would be entirely pre vented if this mew headlight were used. In the less populated parts there are many instances of level crossings which h^ve. been made a.fc parts where the railroad curves greatly, so thst an engine coming round the corner woald be visible at a distance cf 100 yards,
