AMEWCAK CMCUt OOMPAIIT ' ANNA PAVLOWAwrites: The poetry of dancing alone can interpret my admiration for the delightful licorice flavor in Adams Black Jack Gum, or THE N. Y. HIPPODROME THIRTEEN, BUT HAS DECIDED VIEWS ON IMPORTANT TOPICS Robert. W. Stuckenrath, 13 years old, of 1803 Market street, iB a close follower of events in the newspapers that have vital bearing on the wel fare of llarrisburg. In the courso of his studies in the class taught by Pro fessor Ferguson, Master Stuckenrath gave the following opinions on import ant subjects in an address beforo his class: "As Mr. Ferguson has asked mo to give but a short talk, it would be rather presumptuous of me to impose upon your time and patience, to the degree of entering into unnecessary and su perfluous details. "To speak of the much needed high school, the irregular ash collections, or better bathhouse facilities, would be but to add to the voiced sentiment of others, which are already sufficient. Therefore, I will dwell upon one of the lesser talked of, though nearly as Important, topics of the day. "The topic heretofore referred to is that of bogus advertising. Many justly indignant citizens of Harris burg have been turned from counters of stores with the clerk's admonition, Vonie earlier next time, wo are sold out of tlio thing you mentioned, call again.' To say tlio least, this is dis couraging, if not aggravating. Some merchants actually have the audacity to make this declaration soon after opening time. Hundreds of dollars are spent in Harrisburg every year for advertising, fully live per cent, of NOBODY'S SUCCESS WILL HURT YOU There's Room For All at the Top ol' World Big Ladder By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Jealousy and generosity are not even speaking acquaintances. Yet sometimes the'same nature manages to harbor them both. The woman who gladly gives of her best to her friends and who act ually sacrifices herself for those she loves is likely bitterly to resent suc cess which comes to them without help from her, and almost to begrudge them the freedom to express them selves. The man who will give a struggling young chap a hand up In the world is positively annoyed when that 'prentice climbs beyond the need of help. What is the matter with us? Are we jealous and selfish and afraid to see others succeed? I think not. It is that most of us have an exagger ated idea of our own importance. We like the feeling of being benefactors: we rather enjoy being thanked; and we fairly bask in an atmosphere that permits us to feel like fairy godmoth ers and kindly genii. Nobody's success hurts any other person's success. Each of us makes our own place; and none of us Is call ed on to cling desperately to a narrow ledge In a cliff that gives only precar ious footing above grim depths below. We can afford to see the other chap which is overdrawn, if not grossly ex aggerated. This must bo brought to n speedy termination. An advertisement censorship board is a needful acces sory to our progressive municipality. In Boston, New York and Philadel phia this evil is not so eminent, and there is no reason why it should be here. "Another unprepossessing factor in Harrisburg's detriment is the Market street subway. A tall man or woman, passing through, might harbor the fear that they would, perhaps, meet the same fate as Charles VIIT, of France, who passing through a door way, upon failure to stoop low enough, caused his head to collide so violently with the unyielding stone, that he died of the injuries received. After a rain of any consequence, this subway is rendered unfit for use, ns the water oft-times reaches the three foot mark. This can be remedied only by installing adequate aqueducts for the outlet of the water, or by replac ing the subway with a viaduct. "The proposed Walnut street bridge which has been voted on and favored by the people, would offer a needful relief of traffic over tho Mulberry street viaduct, and through the sub way, which at times becomes so con gested as to render traveling peril ous. The city council is at present trying to evade tho issue, but sooner or later It must be met and reme died." "limb; he fact that he climbs above us in no way affects our own personal triumph If that is tlio best of which we are capable. Not everyone can win in any com petition. I f you have it in you to be first, you will be. If you have no bet ter ability than will win you tenth place, begrudging someone elso second place will not advance you one step. Most of us know this. Most of ns forget it in tlie excitement of striving. We ought to be grateful for the com petition which urges us out of lethargy and 011 to do our best. We ought to enjoy seeing the people we have help ed win success. If for no better rea son, there is the seltish < r.loymont of seeing: our own judgment verified! It's a great big World In which each of us plays our own part, and in which each of us chooses whether wc will play that part well or ill. We cannot determine who shall be in the oust with us; nor can wo keep a chorus girl from rising to be a star by merely envying her the ability we long to possess. The point in playing your part is to put your very best into it and get the utmost out of it. As for everyone else, a good turn may help tliein and cannot possibly injure you materially and most help you spiritually. So why not be generous in the true sense of the word—generous without any mental reservation that one will be generous only when looking down and helping others rise and jealous when looking up to see them succeed? There's room for us all in the world. Let us each play our own part with out trying to spoil other people's exits and entrances or to steal any of their curtain calls. There is success enough to go round. Taking what belongs to you leaves enough for everybody else. Trying to take what belongs to anyone else gives you nothing.
