There are young people ambi- tious to be journalists or authors, who send carelessly-written letters home when of]? on vacation. Some there are who have an idea that. they can be leaders in the financial world, but they spend their allowances before they come due and are always in debt. It is silly to fancy that you can make a suc- cess of the big affair by and by, wnen the small matters which make up your present business are such a wretched fizzle. Your. future success can be' foretold in a considerable degree or accuracy by one who has a chance to see whether at present you are making a success of the small matters which are your responsibility.

NINETEEN DIE IN TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHTS AUCTION SALE SUCCESS PROPHECIES NOVEMBER 6; 1928 THE DURHAM, CHRONICLE his career came in 1900 when he and his wife whom he had married when he was eighteen ventured all their savings in passages to England. Made in Scotland Yard On arrival there he found the out- look inauspicious. The London public was rather sour on American enter- tainers at the moment because of the exposure of trickery on the part of Ithe Bullet Proof Man and the Georgia Magnet. The booking agents were 'not encouraging, but eventually Hou- ldini got an audience with the manager ,of the Alhambra. convinced him that the could do some good tricks and preâ€" Evailed upon the manager to introduce him at Scotland Yard. The oflicers there were incredulous about his claims to get rid of their handcufis. and he insisted on a trial. The Su- perintendent caused Houdini to en- circle a pillar with his arms and then snapped a pair of handcuffs upon his wrists. “I’m going to lave you here and come back in a couple of hours.” he said, moving towards the door. “Wait" exclaimed the prisoner, “I’ll go with you. Here’s the way the Yankees open handcufis," and he stepâ€" ped from behind the pillar as the i gyves fell on the floor. After this. of g course, there was no question about an i engagement. and from that day to the j day of his death, Harry Houdini never ‘ looked back. ; him if it were true that he could withstand heavy blows without inco:1- venience. Houdini replied that it was true if he had an opportunity of bracing himself to receive them. He then turned to a table and picked up some letters. The student said some- thing about testing the theory then and there. Houdini was absorbed in his letter and gave an absent-minded reply which the boy task for an as- sent. Whereupon Houdini was aston- ished to receive several hard punches on the abdomen. At the fourth blow he stopped the young man by a ges- ture just as the other two students had jumped up in protest. Acute periton- itis set in, and after making a gallant fight for life, Houdini died in a hospv- tal. There was something particular- ly poignant about the death of this remarkable man just in his prime, and when he was emerging from his role of mere entertainer to throw all his en- ergies into the task of unmasking the heartless mediums who make a living out of the credulity of those who long for communication with the dead. A more grotesque ending could hardly have been imagined. It was as though he had been murdered in the course of a practical joke. Unnoticed for Years . Houdini, whose real name was Elrich Weiss, was a German Jew, born in Wisconsin of parents whose poverty; made it necessary for the boy to earn 1 his own living when he was eleven 1 years old. He had already learned his first trick which was to hang head downward from a limb and pick up needles with his eye- -lids. He had also picked up some useful knowledge about locks by working for a locksmith. It was inevitable that he should gravitate i 1 1 toward a side show. and this he did : after a brief experience as messenger ; boy and tie-cutter. For some years he worked with these tray eiiing shows and dime museums picking up tricks tha: he was later to expand into works of. art. training his body until it would have done credit to any professional' athlete in the country. and throwing himself with the most astonishing energy into whatever task was set him. But he seemed to attract no special at- tention. though he amazed rustics and their more sophisticated t0wn cpusins by his handcufi‘ tricks. The turn of i 2 I i I Unexpected Blows He had just delivered a lecture on spiritualism in McGill University and was resting in his dressing room. There entered three students who had been much impressed by somethink he had said in his lecture. One of them asked {may resort to the technique of Mr. {Frederick Williamsâ€"that Harry Hou- 'dim'cametohisdeathastheresult or ,punches from a McGill student? It wasastonishingtoustolearnthisiact. for it seems incredible that a man of his eminence should pass away and the curious details of the accident that brought on his last illness not have been published at the time, and if pub- lished, that we should have read and forgotten them. But for the stupid- ity of the McGill student, Houdini might have been alive and with us to- day completing his great work of un- masking spiritist takers in all parts of the world. We. learn from Harold Killick, his biographer, that Houdini had broken his ankle in Albany when performing in his Chinese Water Tor- ture trick in which he was suspended by the heels in a small cabinet of water. When he arrived in Montrea:, the bone had hardly set and his ankle was sore to the touch. He was also worried about Mrs. Houdini who lay ill in Providence. He had had no sleep _for three nights. Altogether he was in no bodily, or mental. condition for the ordeal to which he unwittingly exposed himself. HARRY HOUDINI’S LIFE 5:. EXCITING AS FICTION Do you knowâ€"if for a moment we until the hour of his death was almost idyllic. His professional life constitut- ed a foundation for the scientific study of magic and trickery, with re- ligious implications upon which in- vestigators for generations yet to come must buildâ€"J. V. McAree in The Mail and Empire. In almost every paper You are pretty sure to find A lot of gush and nonsense :All about the man behind; The man behind the buzz saw And the man behind the gun, The man behind the plowshare And the man behind the son, And the man behind the whistle And the man behind the cars, The man behind the kodak, And the man behind the bars; The man behind the whiskers And the man behind the fistâ€" Oh, you read of them often. For they’re always on the list; But there is another fellow Of whom nothing has been. said; It’s the fellow who is even. Or a little way ahead; The man who pays up promptly And whose checks are always signed, He’s vastly more important Than the man who is behind.

So we all take our hats or: To the man who is ahead. One of the applicants was an om lady of about seventy-five. She had bright red tresses, and tripped along on very high heels with the aid of a cane. The sides ~. of her face were caught up with adhesive tape. She ap- pointed herself spokeswoman for the crowd and, in order to prevent the gate from being crashed in, she was taken into the studio and allowed to remam 0n the sidelines of the Hagen set, re- ceiving her pay check with the young beauties at the end of the day. When Tiflany-Stahl sent an order to the casting offices for seventy-five beautiful girls for “Green Grass Wid- ows”, in which Walter Hagen is feat- ured with John Harron and Gertrude Olmstead, the mob that stormed the studio gates stopped traflic.
