AME is the sum total of all the advertising a man has had, plus his supe- riority over others. When we desire it most it never comes ; and when it does come we have forgotten that we wanted it. Fame comes either before a man is dead pr after. When it comes be- fore it is not so likely to last after; but when it comes after it grows contin- ually, Generally speaking, those who crave it most never receive it—that is, until after they have stopped craving it, Fame is peculiar to itself. It is not religious or moral, or wealthy or social, or political. It rises easily above the ten commandments, and, like nature, creates its own standards, Fame is more common among the dead than among the living. No man living can be absolutely sure of it. But when it comes toa dead man, he can be confident that it will remain. Fame is the most useless thing in the world. Those who once realize this are the ones 5 most likely to receive it.
