LOST THE1R LUCK Why a Good Many People Fail to Realize Success—Things for a Young Man to Avoid. In dawdling. In indecision. At the racetrack. In poor judgment. In worry and fretting. In magnifying difficulties. In bad business location. In trusting unworthy people, In trying to get rich quickly. In letting their ambition cool. In oversanguine expectations, "At the end of a fishing rod." In not daring to take chances. At cheap, demoralizing shows. In not mastering their moods. In getting into the wrong place. In making a business of pleasure. In not quite knowing their business. In waiting for something to turn up. It went down in drink and up in smoke. In trying to take short cuts to success. In working only when they felt like it. In not working to a plan or programme. In neglecting their personal apperance. In looking on the dark side of everything. In over confidence born of a first easy victory. In choosing a silly, extravagant girl for a wife —Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. --- Three Prominent Families. During the session of the Sedalia District Conference, held at Carthage, Mo Aug. 16 20, 1905, I was the guest of Mr. Granville Webb, and Mrs. Melvina Webb, No. 1011, South Fulton street, Charthage, Mo. The other guests of the family were brother Wilson Whipple, Sisters Lula Whipple, Anna Whipple, Ruby Massey, Hattie Hooks, and Bertha C. Crumb; all of whom were of Mt. Vernon, Mo. Words fail to express my pleasure in spending a week with those excellent people all of whom, except two. I knew many years ago, during my two years of Pastorate of our church at Mt. Vernon, Mo. Mr. Webb purchased his home on the above named street in 1892. The lot is 100 & 150, and has a one story house thereon, valued at $1500. The property is located in a beautiful part of the city, and is elegant in appearance. Mr. and Mrs. Webb's hospitalities to their guests were sumptuous, and justified their Pastor's assertion when he said to me: "I have selected an excellent stopping place for you at Mr. and Mrs. Webb's." For I was treated with every possible attention which politeness or sympathy could dictate.. The rooms were large, clean, and comfortable, the husband and wife—they have no children—were polite and attentive, the meals delicately prepared and elegantly surved. And when, in the heat of the morning sun-light I took leave of Mr. and Mrs. Webb and their home and friends, it was with muttered satisfaction and regret. Satisfaction in the new friendship established, and regret that we must part so soon after having become acquainted. Another prominent family of Carthage is that of R. W. Elmore. He invited me to take supper with him on Sunday evening during the session of the conference mentioned above, and I accepted and went with him. Mr. Elmore moved from Pierce City to Cartharge in 1897, and later on purchased property at 1153 South Maple street. The lot is 50x100 feet, and the house thereon is two stories; the property is valued at 3,000 and situated among the most aristocratic white people in the city. The house is imposing in appearance, and there is not another colored family living in that part of the city. Mr. and Mrs. Elmore have two daughters, Lela L, and Zephyr A. Miss Lela attended school three years at the Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City and also three years at Emporia, Kansas, and one year at Salina, Kansas. Miss Elma taught school in this city for some time, returned home and taught as an assistant teacher for awhile and was elected principal of the Lincoln school in Carthage for this year. Her own race idolize her, the white race respect her. I believe she is a true genius and destined to make a shining name among the literature of her day. She deserves all the good things the world can say. Miss Zephyr is a promising young lady, and is a girl of her sister. Mr. Elmore is wide awake and bright as a new button. Very popular Mrs. Mary Elmore, the wife and mother, possesses that air, which, for want of something more definite has been called aristocratic. I was not one whit less proud of this dear family and their fine home, as I enjoyed the excellent meal which Mrs. Elmore had prepared for me. When I had gone I felt surprised at the interest with which the family had inspired me. and the reluctance I felt to part from them. These families are well to do citizens of their respective communities, intelligent Every man owes it to himself and his family to master a trade or profession.
