facts and fancies for the fireside RULES FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE. During this season of school com mencements we shall hear a great deal about how to succeed in life. Graduates and orators of the day will give their recipes, in more or less eloquent language, and all of them will be interesting to those within earshot. One of the oldest themes in the world is “How to Suc ceed,” and at the same time it is ever new, for the reason that new children are being born every day and new graduates are being advised at every commencement. Good advice loses nothing in the repetition, so when a particularly apt code of prin ciples is presented to a certain stu dent body, it is well enough to pass it along for common contemplation and absorption. Such a code was suggested the other day to the grad uating class of Stevens Institute, Ho boken, N. J., by Paul Morton, presi dent of the Equitable Life Insurance Company and until recently Secre tary of the Navy. It is brief and to the point. Every boy leaving school and starting out in life would do well to cut it out and paste it in his hat. Mr. Morton’s rules for success are: Hard work and common sense. Willing application, no matter what the work may be. Enthusiasm. Work oyertime whenever you can. THE MARVEL IN? GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT • « .

WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. Take an animated interest in pub lic affairs; you owe it to your coun try. Be natural, so that you will be judged by your real value. Avoid timidity. Many a man of ability has continued in the rut be cause he was too timid. Aspire to do something which will benefit all mankind. Be loyal to your employer. If you find that you cannot be loyal to him, seek one to whom you can be loyal. Cultivate self-control. It is nec essary to success. There is nothing abstruse or diffi cult about the foregoing rules. They are simple, plain and easy. They enjoin only those things that a healthy young man of evenly bal anced temperament would do in the routine of duty. The natural im pulse is to work hard and strive to please. A worker who tries to shirk and do as little as he can for his money, who watches the clock all the time and never arrives a minute early or stays a minute late, is following an artificial standard that will keep him a wage earner, and a poor one, as long as he lives. The young man who gets ahead is he who forgets all about the clock when there is work to be done, who never quits until he has finished the job in hand, and who is not afraid of giving his “boss” just a little bit more than he is pay ing for. Condensed, Mr. Morton’s rules em brace these points: Work, willing ness, application, enthusiasm, natur alness, courage, self-confidence, ambi tion, loyalty. That embraces the es sentials. The young man who makes these his rules of life will not fail.— Saavannah News. THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL. My lord rides through his palaeo gate, My lady sweeps along in state, The sage thinks long on many a thing, And the maiden muses on marrying; The minstrel harpeth merrily; The sailor plows the foaming sea, The huntsman kills the good red deer, And the soldier wars without a fear; But fall to each whate’er befafl, The farmer he must feed them all. Smith hammereth ehcerily the sword, Priest preacheth pure and holy word, Dame Alice worketh broidery well, Clerk Richard tales of love can teli, The tap-wife sells her faming beer, Dan Fisher fishes in the mere, And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine, While pages bring the Gascon wine; But fall to each whate’er befall, The farmer he must feed them all. Man builds his castles fair and high, Whatever river runneth by, Great cities rise in every land, Great churches show the builder’s hand, Great arches, monuments and io were, Fair palaces and pleasing bowers; Great work is done, be’t here and there, And well man worketh everywhere, But work or rest, whate’er be fall, The farmer he must feed them all. —Charles G.
