Success,
A Boston firm recently offered a
prize for the best definition of what
constitutes success. A Kansas
woman was. awarded the prize, and
this was her answer.
"He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often aid loved
much; who has gained tbe respect
of intelligent men, and the love of
little children; 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 poem or a rescued
soul; who has never lacked appreci
ation of earth's beanty or failed to
express it; who has always looked
for the best in others and given the
best he had; whose life was an inspi
ration; whose memory is a benedic
tion."

CAUSE FOR LIBEL.
Editor Je Reeee Urges J. M. Millikan
to Action for Damages.
Editor Reece, of Greensboro,
thinks our former countyman J. M.
Millikan has good grounds for ac
tion against the Industrial News, and
others, for circulating certain re
ports reflecting upon him. Mr.
Reece presents the case as follows:
"United States Marshal J. M.
Millikan surely has cause fur action,
though it may be one of the parties
can justify. For illustration it is
necessary to state that Mr. Millikan
has never had time to go on a raid
with his men nntil last Saturday
when he helped to capture a block
ade still near the city.- He liked it
so well that he went on a second
raid the raid where there was con
siderable shooting Wednesday night
out on Summit Avenue. His cause
of action lies in the fact that when
the raiders came back it was told
that Brame, one of the men wanted,
had escaped and could not be found;
then some wag remarked that what
really delayed the party was the
seaich for Mr. Millikan, who van
ished when the firing commenced;
that it was almost as hard work to
find him as Brame. But this was
an aspersion. Now along comes
the Industrial News this morning
with what purports to be a picture
of the marshal. It does not resem
ble him in the least; it looks like a
man at least 80 years old, his face
drawn as if in pain. But as soon as
it was viewed, up bobs another man
and says the picture must have been i
taken dunug the scrap, for it looked
exactly like the marshal "enduring
of the shooting." Now if tffis is
not cause for action we do not know
what is. True the man making
this assertion would have to prove
it, but if he was ou the spot he
might be able to do it. Certainly
Mr. Millikan could not refute it,
for he had no mirror and could not
tell how he looked; he had no tirre
to look into one had he had one.
We are ready t back Mr. Millikan;
a paper in which he no doubt has a
pecuniary interest has slandered
dim.
P. S. Another wag remarked
that it must have been Mr. Milli
kan's picture, for certainly it was
not that of Judge Adams or Mayor
Brandt, for their pictures have been
printed so often he is sure he would
have recognized either of them.
