SUCCESS MEANS SACRIFICE.
Tif you say a thing' cannot be
done —you make it so.
The man who succeeds at a cer
tain thing, the man who is suc
cessful, is the man who donates
tlie situation, the man who takes
possession of certain powers with
in his reach, the man wlio says.
“This one thing If a man is whi

k We see about us everywhere
of life, forms of energy, be
ing changed into other forms. The
material itself is not destroyed
—all things are in a state of con
stant change, a state of constant
transformation from 1 one thing in
to another. The intelligent man
knows that there is nothing eter
nal or fixed but change, that
there is n () such thing as estab
lishing a business and leaving it
to take care of itself.
Life is largely a matter of re

success at any game of life is
largely at matter of resistance.

breath are filled with millions
of germs and to lesist these mi-'

resistance is the tiling which
marks the line of distinction be
tween health and disease.
We are constantly weighted
down and handicapped in the
race of life by our own frivolities
and inconsistencies. The man

a high mountain peak, you can
see away into the distance, over

Your mental horison ,or your
mental viewpoint can be much

a certain limitation beyond which
you say you cannot travel, then
you establish a line beyond

He Mus£ Bo a Diplomat, and Hie Posi
tion Is Not an Easy One.
The duties of u secretary to a presi
dent of the United States are not con
sidered at all secondary in importance
to those of a cabinet officer. He is the
man who first meets the thousands of
visitors to the president. He must know
just whom the president desires to see
or should see without bothering the
president. These visitors come from
all parts of the United States ou ail
sorts of missions, some important, but
mostly of a very trivial character, and
they come bringing all sorts of letters
of introduction from all sorts of people.
Were the president to see all these
folks he would not have time for any
thing else, and the secretary must win
now the wheat from the chaff and
send the chaff away actually delighted
because they haven't seen the presi
dent. The president’s secretary is a
buffer between his chief and the Unit
ed States senators and members of the
house of representatives with myriad
axes to grind. He must be n diplomat
with the most famous diplomats of the
world when they call at the White
House to take up the time of the presi
dent. Indeed, it has been often said in
Washington that the president’s secre
tary must be as much of a diplomat as
any member of the diplomatic corps if
he is to be of substantial value to his
chief.
Again, the secretary must have rela
tions with the hundreds of correspond
ents who represent jtlie great newspa
pers of the country. Public opinion is
molded by these correspondents, and
they are keenly affirmative in their
characteristics. In their ambition to
serve their newspapers they always
know exactly why they visit the White
House. Frequently matters are not
exactly ripe, und it is one duty of the
president’s secretary to parry the inci
sive aud probing questions of these
alert correspondents. This must be
done smilingly and in good form.
Then, too. Invariably the president’s
secretary accompanies his chief on
trips through the country. Hundreds
of details come up on these tours of
which the president is not expected to
know, but it is the absolute duty of his
secretary to be familiar with them.—

For the Same Reason That an Open
Door Slams In a Draft.
All have wondered at some time or
other why a door opened nearly to the
limit will close when there is a draft
or wind going through the opening.
Certainly the wind does not get in be
hind the door and shove it, for . the
draft is through the opening.
The explanation of this fact lies in a
fundamental principle of moving tluids
and is the same principle that makes a
baseball curve. Whenever there is a
current in the air sidewise pressure is
least In that current, so when the
draft blows through the opening to the
door the pressure on that side of the
door is decreased, and consequently
the pressure on the other side will
start slowly to move the door, making
it go faster and faster till the door
swings into the draft itself and starts
going in the direction of the draft.
When it does so go in this direction
of course the draft helps it along, be
cause It is now not the sidewise mo
tion that counts, hut the forward mo
tion.
When a ball is rotated in the air it
carries around with it a good deal of
air sticking to the sides. This, then,
is the same thiug as saying that a cur
rent of air is flowing round the rotat
ing ball in the direction of rotation.
Now, if a wind blows against that ball
it is easy to see that the little rotating
current will be with the wind on one
side aud against it on the other, so
that on one side the velocity of the air
will be increased and ou the other di
minished. So the greater pressure ou
the slow side will shove the ball
against the low pressure on the fast
side. Now. throwing a ball in the air
is the same as making a wind blow
against it. so if a ball be thrown and
rotated at the same time It will neces
sarily curve.—Chicago Record-Herald.
