Show The following few lines arc from the pen of Mrs. A. J. Stanley bf Lincoln, Lin-coln, Nebraska. Mrs. Stanley wrote them in answer to the inquiry from a Boston firm, "As to what constitutes consti-tutes success." Tlxe lady received first prize in the contest and two hundred hun-dred and fifty dollars for her' trouble. We don't know w'here 'she got ' her stuff, it smells suspiciously 'like Hub- bard, but that does not matter. It is 1 the thought in it that we care about. I Read it, think it over: 1 "He has achieved success who has lived cll, laughed often, and loved imtchifcwho has gained the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little childVcn; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect per-fect poem or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others, and given the best he had; whose fife was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction." |
