SALOME DANCE 18
'■ BARRED IN DOUGLAS
' II was all a question of what
kind of a dance it was that was
'settled in the Douglas municipal
court recently. Marshal Shafer
contended that it was more like
a Salome than anything he ever!
saw before and Gleo W'ardell, a I
lady of color, contended that it '
was merely the Texas Tommy ex- '
ecuted in a modest way.
Gleo Warded was taken into
custody by the marshal for danc
ing on the streets of Douglas in
a costume generally reserved for
Salome dancers and bathing girls.'
In the court room the marshal
staled his charge and pronounced
the dance a Salome, but Gleo was
given a chance to plead for her
self and said in part: ‘‘Your
Honor, 1 was simply doing a few
steps of the Texas Tommy on ac
count of having the feeling of
spring in my blood. As you
probably know, judge, the Texas
Tommy is a most genteel dance
that goes like this--” and Gleo
Went through a few steps. "As
fo/ the marshal’s charge that I
was doing a Salome, that is false,
for 1 did not raise my skirts any
higher than this,” another illus
tration by the prisoner at the
bar, Sind 1 contend that I was
acting in a most lady-like man
ic i and only dancing <i dance In • t,
U popular in the best id' society. 1
The judge did not pass his
opinion as to the character of the
'dance, not being well enough up
on such questions but lined Gleo
$5 for dancing on the streets and
told her in the future to confine
her dancing, whether of the Sa
lome or Texas Tommy variety, to
trie privacy of her home.

SUCCESS.
(By (Jeorge Matthew Adams.}
In Success, defeat is hut an in
cident. Obstacles, stumbling
blocks, disappointment in ideals
—these tilings weave into and
form the Raiment to Success. For
^Success is a series of failures—
put to flight.
Learn to walk past Failure.
A few years ago a young man
stood behind a New England
counter as a Clerk. Quiet, hon
est, faithful, yet a Failure in the
eyCs of hrs Employer, who one
day drew aside the father of the.
hoy and advised lhal the son be
taken back to the farm, for he
never would become a Merchant.
Today, if you but walk down State
street, Chicago, you will behold
Ibis young man’s monument—a
tribute to the failures, disap
pointments and iron persistence
of Marshall Filed, who died the
greatest Merchant in the World.
Learn to walk past Failure.
But Sucre's* isn't measured in
tangible assets. Lincoln left next
to nothing in money standards.
His success, though, is the marv
el and the inspiration of the Ages.
Learn to walk past Failure.
Success is largely a matter of
personal Viewpoint. It is impos
sible for you to fail permanent
ly if you determine to Succeed.
Lei each new day of your life,
then, lake invoice of its own self.
Lei it chalk up the Failures with
the Successes—let it mark plain
ly the Record. But inside1 of your
own consciousness let nothing
take from the image of your mind
I he Knowledge that real Success
ponsists wholly in sacrificing
iomporarily in repeated failures
that you may win permanently in
worth-while Deeds done.
Learn to walk past Failure.

INVENTORS.
(By 'George Fitch.)' / j j
An inventor is a pale, studious j
man who spends his life thinking)
up sofnething which will save I
trouble and make money for1
someone else.
Inventors are responsible for
bricks, lumber, nails, automo
biles, electric lights, coffee pcreo- 1
lators, shoe strings, airships, |
street cars, button holes, baby I
carriages, locomotives and every- '
thing else. Kven appendicitis was j
known as indigestion until in-j
ventors produced inslrumeuts by
which the human body could be
unbuttoned like a vest and revised
on the inside.
If it were not for inventors we!
I
would »sl ill be crossing the ocean i
in arks, cooking porterhouse j
steaks on a willow twig, traveling!
,1o Washington on horseback I
without saddles to view the in
auguration, and killing each oth
er with cli bs instead of using the
• iiore relined and less messy re- !
volvt
in' colors are the hardest pen
pie In suit mi earth. They never
stop inventing. As sunn as a man
invents a great convenience, he'
begins in perfect it. Because of
this fact, all of last year's ingen
ious conveniences are now out of
dale. Inventors have reduced the
labor of living tremendously, hut
have increased its cost so much
that we have to work ourselves
to death in order to save trou
ble.
Inventors are protected by the
government like other wild game.
When an inventor has pul a few
wheels, levers, dogs, pawls and
cams together in a new combina
tion, the government gives him
a patent which permits him to
sue rich corporations whjch steal
his invention as long as he has
any money left. After an invent
or has spent Hi years in an attic
producing a machine for washing
dishe* by proxy, he emerges with
his patent under one arm and a
imodel under the other and goes
| hunting for capital. The way
capital avoids inventors, lmwev
| er, would lead one to suppose
I that the inventor was hunting for
jit with a gun. Many inventors
j starve to death, but, usually not
until they have finished invent
ing and have started financing,
j Franklin, Watts, Arkwright,
i Bell. Whitney and Edison became
famous inventors. If Edison had
gone on selling peanuts on the
trains, instead of inventing, we
would still be struggling along
without the phonograph, electric
light and moving picture. T-he
world owes a great deal to invent
ors, and the latter have very lil
I le hope of collect ing.
Almost everything has now
been invented except a cussless
collar, a shoe siring which will
slay tied, and a homing umbrella.
Why do inventors insist on de
vising more complicated automo
biles instead of tackling these
burning questions like men?
