SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
Joel Chandler Harris fa the last
Issue of bis magaifne writes of the
Philosophy of Failure In most
charming style. Hl* words mako
good Sunday reading. He aaya In
part:
"What U success ana wbat Is fail
ure? In a casual way. we know
what succesi is In the eyes of th«
multitude, It seems to consist,
roughly speaking, of the achieve
ment of fame la any channel of hu
man endeavor. The warrior who
gives flight to bnndreda of thousands
of soub, the author who IS bold
enough to dip his pen Into his ow
experience, and the man who gath
ers together a great hoard ot money;
or its equivalents-and taese are said
to be successful. Indeed, the num
bers of souls put to flight the amount
of money or property gathered to
gether aifd the talent displayed In a
book need not be excessive to acquire
the distinction ot success. This ts
perfectly plain to a schoolboy, but
the thing that troubles the farmer,
and causes him to turn from hU car
rot-patch with a puzzled expression
on bit countenance It the question
whether material success, success In
business, which has now come to be
a mysterious and complicated affair,
or success In the Various and mani
fold schemes of speculation that
spread their entrancing lures before
the eyes ot mankind, or success In
any Held of \ human endeavor that
does not contribute either directly or
Indirectly to the betterment of hu
manity—whether 'such success It
worthy of the plaudits It receives, or
the distinction It seems to earn.
Tl’lz Is the question that along with
potatoes and nut-grass, gives the
farmer occasion for serious thought.
There are other question that have
their puzzling side for him, but they
are all either directly or remotely
connected with this. So that he
continues to ask himself from time to
time—coming back to the matter aa
the weather-vane In winter return to
the Inclement northwest—what Is
success,' knd In what does It really
consist? What are 1U real fruits?
The age la so biunt and blatant— so
Intolerant of anything that Inter
feres for a moment with Its material
pursuits—that the farmer hesitate,
to lay the matter before hla ac
quaintances. Should they undertake
to explain, he knows full well that
the explanation would be charged
with scoru, surprise and ridicule. Is
a man successful when he lifts him
self and his family above the fear
of want? The birds of the air, and
the creatures of wood and Held, per
form this feat without troubling to
keep nn accoust book, and with no
scrimping economics likely to bring
a blush to the cheek of' a fashionably
Inclined woman; and they expect
neither applause nor congratulation.
The problems of existence become
problems only when reasoning ani
mals cosue to deal with them.
“What Is success and In what does
It consist? In heaping up accumu
lations of money and property by
overreaching the public and crush
ing competition? In greasing the
axles of progress with the blood of
the poor, and the Ignorant? In ad
ding to tho doubts, and thereby In
creasing the misery of the people ot
the nations of the earth? Or does
It consist In living a clean and whole
some life, la making the troubles of
your neighbor your own, In avoiding
envy and all forms of covetousness,
and In thanking Heaven for what you
hare, however small * portion that
may be? There .can he no form of
real success that does not brlag
some sort of aid and comfort to
humanity, that does not make peo-
gilo a little happier, a little more con
tented than they were before, that
does not uplift. In some sort, the soul
the law. There are several ways to
set* about this, .but the best Is to
preach 'the doctrine of total abatis-
sac* rfom liquor, to urge a cessa
tion of the use of the outlawed goods
and to. form cluba of total abstain
ers.
There are two ways to settle the
liquor problem. Pne Is to stop the
manufacture and sale. The other la
to atop the consumption. The latter
Is the only complete and satisfac
tory method. Georgia has adopted
the first, but there U no reason why
tha matter should not be approach
ed. from both ends, and a satisfac
tory eolation reached by the mutual
method.

Liquor will be difficult to procure,

times to begin It.
Total abstinence Is the logical
outcome of the great movement
against liquor that has been steadily
advancing during the last half cen
tury. Drinking Is far less general
now than In tbe good old- daps
when everybody took a nip. The
first light Was to keep It out of the
church. It was then banished from
