Jiun from the “success professor
ho says to you: “Look into Henry
'ord’s life and lind out how he has
corked his way up, and then do like
wise: you're sure to get to the top.”
You cannot succeed in your liies
oik by being- a copy cat. There is
o set rule of success.
Dan \Yiilar<] who first went to wCi'k
or ninety cents a day is now presi
ent of the ljaltimore SHU Ghio rail
oad, sai<! recently: “I think one oi
he most important elements of sue
ess is accuracy backed up by all
iround dependability.” -»**,. ilw
Harry F. Sinclair, who made a lot
)f money as a druggist before he piled
jp a lot more as a petroleum produ
cer, told a friend of his in Washing
ton last spring that he had achieved
success by paying no attention to any
man's rules for success. “The man
succeeds,” he said, “who is willing to
take a chance. If you let precedent
bind you down you’ll never get any
where. In the long run all of life and
all of busineess is the art of taking
chances. >• • ’
„ 'Christy Mathewson, famous con
queror of tuberculosis and opposing
batsmen once said of baseball. “Spirit
is the big thing. In my opinion spirit
is ninety per cent of victory.”
*> The wealthiest man in the United
States seriate once told this writer:
“‘A young man in business may show
me his methods of work, and they may
fool me, he may be such a clever copy
cat that I will think he is bound to
follow in the footsteps of any -great
man he has chosen to imitate. There
fore, methods of work don’t particu
larly interest me. But let me watch
a young fellow and perceive the spirit
in which he tackles his job and I will
forecast his future and his end accu
rately. Ambition and the determina
tion to beat opposition are the real
foundation of a big career. Slavish im
itators have neither backbone nor ori
ginality. There never has been and
never will be a Number Two Edison
or Number Two Carnegie. No two
men are ever made in the same mold.’
The only workable recipe for suc
cess is this: “Make your own.”

_!
NEW YORK, Feb. 27—Up in
“Hell’s Kitchen” and down in
“Mulberry Bend” gangsters today
polished their “gats.”
Yochki Churgin will be aveng
ed.
For it is Yochki Churgin’s ro
mance—a weed that grew in the
teeming street, the backroom “so
cial clubs” and the crowded ten
ements of New York’s lower East
Side—which has once again array
ed gangsters in sharply drawn
battle lines.
Yochki Churgin is dead .She killed
herself for love of “her man.” He—
“Midget Louie” Schwartzman—had
been “bumped” because he loved her.
Louis Chaplin, “The Dropper,” was
himself slain because he had killed
“Midget Louie.’ j
Such is “romance” in New York’s ;
Lower East Side.
Bales Fiction "
Fiction holds no “romance” such as J
came to Yochki Churgin—“Queen of]
iraiura’L Fie.tia» neVei‘ dared be so j
bold.
Yochki was born in Russia. When
she was a babe her parents “settled”
in what New York calls a “home”—
three rooms in a block where 500 fam
jlies raised 2,00Q “kids.” “Old Man”
Chut*g‘in became a pushcart merchant,
Of a morning, before sunrise, one
could sec him coming from the syna
gogue, where he had prayed that
“Yochki be a good girl—sweet and
pure—on the day he would lead her to
the marriage canopy”,
Fifteen drab, colorless years slip
ped by,
Yochki attended her first dance.
The first dance is an event in every
girl’s life—even in New York’s Lower
East Side, where the '‘hops” are held
in the “social chibs” back of thinly
camouflaged saloons.
Yochki was “knocked down’ to the
gang that night. Among those she
met was Izzy Caplin. “The Dropper’s”
brother.
A “broad” has to be a mighty “clas
sy Jane” to even get a “tumble” from
one of “The Dmpper’s” clan. Yochki
was “that kind of a Jane.”

CARSTENS PACKING CO.
IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Mr. E. E. Kurtz, local manager for
Carstens Packing Company, arrived
on the Alameda yesterday with a new
and complete stock of fresh and salt
meats, butter and eggs, oysters, fin
nan haddie, etc., which he has placed
in the old Carstens Packing Com
pany’s building next to the Hotel
Sexton. Mr. Kurtz was formerly in
the meat business in Anchorage, where
! Willi a £)<Xl tile l lie x ail me
! market for several years.
| He opened up for business this
1 morning, and in an interview With the
Gateway stated that his company had
faith in the future of Seward and
looked for a number of new enter
prises to open here this summe-r.

Gang on Strike
“The Dropper” and his gang at the
time were engaged in a garment un
ion strike . They served as “gunmen
for the manufacturer. Somehow or
other, as such things occur in “gang
dom,” the gang’s “Janes” all wore h
| new and expensive clothes. Yochki was f
j the best dressed of all—furs, every- 1 g
! thing.
: I
On the other side of the labor war g
j “gunmen” for the union. The war |
! was “Little Angie” and his men— j *
I “gunmen” for the union. The war be- ^
tween “Augie’s” cohorts and “The
Dro.ppcr’s” killers grew more bitter.
Hatreds of years flamed into gun bat
tles.
Suddenly Yochki was seen no more 1
with “The Dropper’s” brother.
“He’s ditched her,” Y’ochki’s friends
said.
“I quit him,” Yochki insisted.
Then one night Yochki was seen
with “Midget Louie”—Augie’s first I
lieutenant.
Feud Smoldered. ‘ .
“Gangdom” held its breath.
“There was somethin’ doin’ ”—all 1
‘ gangdom said so. . _
Yochki was carrying a “gat” her- I
self.
“Mb tin* Louie are going to the mar
riage canopy,” Yochki told her mother.
Preparations were made.
Then from the darkness of an East
! Side street came two pistol shots.— '
two flashes of fire. “Midget Louie”
never spoke.
“The Dropper” was arrested. Evi- j
| dence wasn’t strong enough to con
vict. He was freed. As he walked j
from the courtroom two more shots <
‘ were heard.
“ ‘The Dropper’ killed my pal—d
|‘Midget Louie’—I just had to bump
him?” Louis Cohen, another of “Little j
Augie’s” men declared when arrested.
Cohen got twenty years “up the riv
er.”
The next day they found Yochki
dead. In a cheap room in a cheap ten
. ement she had killed herself.
“Somebody’s got to pay for Yoch
ki’s death!” “gangdom” has declared.
“Dere’s somethin’ doin’ ” over on the
1 lower East Side again.
Mrs. Carl Erickson was a returning
passenger on yesterday’s boat. Mr. :
