YOU NEVER CAN TELL TILL
YOU Tr Y.
The way to succeed is to buckle right In
And go to your work with a will;
If you make up your mind that you will,
you can win.
Don't sit at the foot of the hill
And look at its crest, wishing you were
up there,
And remark to yourself with a sigh;
"I can't make the grade, it's too steep,
I'm afraid."
You never can tell till you try.
Your chance is as great as your neigh-
bor's, my friend,
What he has accomplished you can;
But you've got to keep toiling along to
the end
And the prize always goes to a man.
You wish for success and you see some-
one win;
Opportunity passes you by
When you say to her fiat; "O, I couldn't
do that."
You never can tell till you try.
"I can't: O, I can't." That's where so
many fall
When the roadway is hilly and rough.
Their paths must be 3mooth or they'll
not go at all.
But, if you are made of good stuff.
You will make the attempt, be it ever
so hard.
You will win or will understand why;
For it's certain that you don't know what
you can do.
You can never tell till you try.
How many great men that we honor to-
day
Foresaw, in the distance, success?
And how many obstacles stood in their
way
That none of us living may guess?
But all unafraid they went into their
work,
DUetermined to do or to die,
"I can't" wasn't hearU, for the phrase
is absurd,
You never can tell till you try.
—Edgar A- Quest, in D^trolt^Free Press.
IN THE PUBLIC EYE
REACHES FOUR-SCORE MARK
President James Burrill Angell, the grand
old man of the University of Michigan, who cele-
brated his eightieth birthday a few days ago,
has been at the head of Michigan's state school
of learning for the last 37 years. Although Dr.
Angell has passed the allotted time for man to
live, his ruddy complexion and his youthful
sprigbtliness belie his advanced years.
James B. Angell was born in Scituate, Rhode
Island, January 7, 1829. He matriculated at
Brown university in September, 1S45, graduating
four years later with the highest honors of his
class. After graduating Dr. Angell taught for a
year. Then his health began to fail, too close
application to his studies began telling, and he
gave up his teaching, and his studies and lived
an out of door life for a year, taking a horseback
trip through the south. After the trip Dr. Angell spent two years in France,
Germany and Italy. From this foreign residence he was recalled to the
United States (o accept the chair in modern languages in Brown university.
In 1860 he resigned this professorship to become editor of the Providence
Journal. After six years spent in charge of that publication, he resigned to
accept the presidency of the University of Vermont, with which college he
was connected till he came to the University of Michigan as its president in
1871. The presidency of Michigan was offered to Dr. Angell two years before
that time and refused by him.
For the last 37 years, Dr. Angell's brilliant mind, great strength, indomit-
able courage, and boundless affection have been given freely to the institu-
tion of which he has been the head, the leader.
Nor is Dr. Angell known only as the head of the leading educational in-
stitution in the middle west. In 1880 he was appointed minister to China, at
a time when the greatest diplomacy .was needed, at a time when many an-
noying commercial questions arose and when the regulation of the Chinese
immigration must be attempted. He was also the chairman of a special com-
mission charged with the negotiation of two treaties with China. In 1887 Dr.
Angell was appointed minister plenipotentiary on the part of the United
States on a commission which negotiated the North Atlantic fisheries treaty
with Great Britain. In 1895-1896 he was chairman of the United States com-
mission on deep waterways. He served one year, 1897, as minister to Turkey,
at a time when the utmost delicacy and diplomacy were essential.
LIGHTENED CENSUS WORK
James Powell is the chief mechanical expert
of the United States census bateau at
ton. And in the midst of the "rush and hurry
confusion incidental to making,preparations for
the taking of the next census' in a year or so,
the bureau, ftom the chief down to the depart-
ment bosses, is enthusiastically grateful that Mr.
Powell exists and that he happens to be holding
his particular job.
The taking of a natlqji's census is a gigantic
operation at the best, particularly when the na-
tion to be numbered is as large and. many-raced
as our own. It involves a maddening amount of
figuring and adding, indexing and assorting,
until a host of expert employes live on mathe-
matical stunts for many months—eating figures,
drinking numerals and breathing long, involved
masses of torturing decimals and the like.
Now a good deal of this will be changed, for Mr. Powell has Invented a
new machine. Just what this machine is* or what it will do, it not given out
from the bureau. On the contrary, it is most carefully concealed and guarded
by armed men. But it will do a great deal, for it is to contrive more hereto-
fore impossible jobs with figures and indexes and registers and all that sort
of thing than'the mind of inventive man has ever before conceived in cold
steel and tightened springs until now. And Mr. Powell Is being given credit
for doing one of the most marvelous things yet done, and halving the burden
of the census work.

Though Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich
reached the age limit Tor,active service the other
day he will continue for some time as command-
ant of the New York navy yard, where he suc-
ceeded the late Rear Admiral Coghlan a year
ago. Secretary of the Navy Newberry requested
Rear Admiral Goodrich to remain at the navy
yard long enough to complete the scheme of con-
solidation of the departments at the yard which
is being worked out according to the admiral's
own plans. ,
Rear Admiral Goodrich is one of the best
known officers in the navy. He has the distinc-
tion of being the officer who directed the last
naval engagement in the war with Spain, the
fight at Manzanillo, Cuba. He also commanded
the expedition which first drew th? fire of the
batteries at Santiago. On- that occasion he was in charge of the work of cut-
ting the cable connections with the besieged city.
Rear Admiral Goodrich wae appointed to the naval academy from Con-
necticut and was graduated as the first honor man of the class of '64. From
1865 to 1867 he was attached to the steam frigate Colorado, at that time the
flagship of the European squadron. During the Tel-el-Kebir expedition he
was the American attache on the staff of Viscount Wolseley.
He was commanding the Pacific fleet at the time of the San Francisco
earthquake and received his first news of the disaster and the awful results
that followed when off tjhe coast of southern California, nearly 800 miles away.
The intimation of the horror came in an extraordinary manner. A wireless
telegraph operator caught a stray message sent out at random from a short
station just north of San Francisco. Not hesitating for a moment, and with-
out any verification of the message, Rear Admiral Goodrich, with character-
istic decision, turned his ships toward San Francisco at full,speed. His worst
fears were realized on arrival, and he was able to render notable services in
the period that followed the catastrophe.
