. J DIGRESSION -- FOR H MOMENT Being an Investigation Into the Subject, “What Is Gen- • uine Success?” By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, June 15.—One of the most successful men I have ever known earns the equivalent of *25 a week. He Is not famous outside his own little town. He ' has never done a spectacular thing In his life. His name has never been in a met ropolitan newspaper He has contributed nothing new to science, to art. to litera ture, to religion or to any "clog?” or Ism.'’ His bank account. I dare say. is not far up in the thousands. Measured by* the dollar yardstick, his career has been a flat failure. Why, then, do 1 de scribe this obscure, unwealthy man' as successful beyond most of his fellows? ... Before answering, permit a digression. I vised to talk weekly to a wide-awake lot of youth on general everyday, human subjects. What, do you think, interested them most? Not morals, not sports, not goody-goody matters, not adventure, not travel Nearly every time the topic was left to them to choose they replied: "Tell us how the richest men in this country made money*to begin with." Sometimes they wanted to hear of Intimate Incidents which young lads encountered in business —the ones who "got on.” The test of success, as understood and applied by this class of youths was, of course, Money. • • « Once they asked: "Who is the most successful person you know?” I replied: “A man earning less than *25 a week.” I They could not believe 1 was in earnest. So I had to explain. This successful man's character was so genuinely, so consistently good. ,so far above reproach, that he had an elevating influence upon his fellow-citizens. He reared a family of seven sons and daugh ters. each one of whom followed in his footsteps. He was an ardent advocate of temperance and practiced it In every form. He was an enthusiastic worker for his church. He labored humbly hut ardently for civic righteousness and hap piness. His townsmen became so deeply impressed with his qualities as a man that—at first against his will -they called him to a seat on the municipal board of government. Here his work proved so valuable that higher civic honors were bestowed, and had It not been for the fact that his daily labors prevented, he would have been elected to the highest honorary position In the city, the equiv alent of mayor. But it was his purely domestic life that most impressed me—l had peculiar oppor tunity to know and study it Not long ago a Western lady, the newspapers told us. sought and obtained a divorce be cause her husband was faultless -never ' staxed out too late never got drunk, never swore at her. gave her everything she wanted and always treated her with the greatest kindness. She simply could , not "Stand” him, he was so exasperating ly gpod. This same lady would certainly have divorced the man of whom I speak He was like that plus! Yet In 30 years of married life there had never been a family quarrel Nor did his children hate him -he was the best of chums they had I knew him almost as well as they did, and my. feelings toward him were the same as those who insisted upon honoring him with public office. • » • I succeeded in convincing the youths that this man s life was a success. Only these lads were not old enough to be cynical, not old enough to sneer at home ly virtues; but young enough, despite their inherited Ideas of the almightiness of the dollar, to recognize that there are some other things worth while, after all. • • • t'nriousb enough, one of the very prominent bankers now under the lash for the clearing house methods some time ago expressed sentiments very much the same as the foregoing. He has all the money he needs He has enjoyed the highest of financial and business honors. H<= is extremely well regarded by other financiers. Yet. after having experienced such fruits, he counts them of but little moment. Poes he worship the dollar? Poes he now measure success by dollar bills? Looking back he does snatch oc casional moments for reflection—he sees things in a perspective different from that ’ now so generally In vogue Some day I may get him to write for this column his mature verdict on "Things that are worth while. * Is all this despicably puerile? Is it too preachy-preachy? Has It too little con nection with facts and comment on finance and business? Should it have no nlace in a newspaper concerned with the doings of the day? Perhaps Then, again since most that is done in finance and business is an effort toward success, the subject mat not he so very far out f place Its treatment, however, ts. 1 'car hnpelesslv old-fashioned. Tomor row'and other days something more up to-date may be discussed. ATLANTA LIvE STOCK MARKET. W H.

Futures there advanced 6 to 7 points against 2 to 3 due. Spots 12 points higher; sales 8.000 bales Owing to the reserve sup plies carried by the mills, sympathy in Europe is naturally with the bull side, and unfavorable crop or weather news is probably accepted and acted upon with relish. A cable said: "Advance caused by heavy covering by shorts. Sellers were scarce.” Weather conditions were more favorable than expected, while Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina had gen eral showers, precipitation in the rest of the belt was very light and confined to a few scattered localities Indications are for unsettled weather in Oklahoma. Arkansas and Tennessee, with probable showers also in northwest Texas and cool-wave there over Sunday. Partly cloudy and warm tn the rest of the belt, possibly local thunder showers. While night minimums were high, which is most propitious to rapid growth, the day maximums were lower and entirely normal The average for Texas is only 98. against 102 last year, and Oklahoma 98. against 104 last year. Even in the central and eastern states excessive heat prevailed thia time last year, with maxi mums in the 100 degrees, whereas this year temperatures are entirely normal. The market gained about 10 points in thee arly trading on frightened covering by the smaller shorts, but prices dropped immediately when bulls attempted to liquidate. The technical situation is unique. New York reported two leading bull houses as sellers on the advance, but the taking little, without decline. Liverpool due Monday 6 English points lower.

Temperatures lower In west, average Texas only 90. against 102 last year and Oklahoma 98. against 104 last year. New Orleans Times-Democrat says: W'hlle the bears refused point blank to swallow a 16.000,000-bale crop, the world has swallowed It eagerly, and yesterday's cotton market was merely a demonstra tion of the obvious effects of such a line up. With the largest supply on record July contracts have now climbed to 12.32. as against 11.83 for October and 12% and a firm tone for middlings. Two weeks ago July was held at a pre mium of only 20 points over October It is now 49. The significance of this ten dency is apparent to those men who have devoted careful thought to the drift of the world's supply, but is not yet clear to those men who have believed all along that the strength of the cotton market depended upon sustained manipulation by a coterie of New York bolls. There is no corner in sight in July, but a legiti mate. natural squeeze because of the scarcity of supply dye to the rapidity with which the world has absorbed the bales as they have come forward WEEKLY COTTON STATISTICS.

Reading and Union Pacific wore % high er. United States Steel common rose % while the same amount of gain was scored by American Smelting Reading not only lost all its early gain, but % additional Canadian I’aclfic was off % hero, having responded to London cables which were bearish. American Smelting also went under Friday's final as the result of labor trou bles. Missouri Pacific was up % despite con tinued reports of an "insider” unloading. The curb was steady Americans in London were dealt in wholly by professionals The market closed steady. Government bonds easy Other bonds steady.
