I hold that no man deserves to be crowned with honor whose life is a failure. The world is no better for us living in it.

He never wiped a tear from a sad face; never kindled a fire on a frozen hearth. I repeat with emphasis that he is a failure. There is uo flesh in his heart. He worships no god but silver and Cicero. There is a great difference between having and using.

God gives each one of us material for nuking life a grand success, and our failures are due to our neglect to make use of what is given. The difference be tween the one who makes a failure ind the one who succeeds is not si much a matter of endowment as or cultivation. There are "gifts" within us, powers capable of development, forces full of infinite possibilities, but too often we let them remain in active Ex.

But the peddler does not return. The price is a reasonable one for the soap, but the pre mium part of the deal is a fraud. Still, the people will get caught on it. McCune Times Domoerat. Bunch Items.

On this date the St. Louis San Francisco Railroad Company assumes charge of the line formerly known as the Ozark Cherokee Central Rail way, extending westwardly from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to Okmulgee, Indian Territory, a distance of 143.5) miles. As will be noted by reference to our railroad maps shows this line forms a connecting link between our Central Division and the lied River District. Aside, however, from the convenience of this connection, the road penetrates a section offering ex cellent opportunities to those in search of a new location, either from a com mercial or farming-standpoint. Pay etteville, its starting point, is located in one of the best portions of the Ozark fruit belt, and the line will open, to tho west of that place, country whose ability to produce apples, peaches and other fruits has already been demonstrated, and whoso prosperity and rapid develop' ment is, siuce the establishment of railway communications, assured.

Passing through the "Land of the Big Red Apple," tho line enters the Indian Territory, near Westvillo, crossing the Cherokee Nation, and traversing the Creek Nation, a coun try that has lately attracted attention all over the United States by rea son of Congressional legislation per mitting the acquirement therein, by outsiders, of Indian allotments. The Creek Nation is known to possess as great (if not a greater) proportion of available land to the square mile as any other of the Indian reservations that have been opened to white settlement. The character of its soil and cllmato is almost Identical with that of Oklahoma. Wheat, corn, cotton grow side by side, and all vield crops calculated to astonish, by their abun nance and excellence, farmers from the older stales.
