as saddler's apprentice. and at
the age Of twenty was scarcely
able to read and write. Bnt the
boy had energy, ambition and
faith in himself. A few years of
hard and solitary study enabled
him to leave the saddler's shop,
and step by step, to ascend the
ladder OF professional success. He
made both fame and fortune.
There is a lesson in the lives of
such men, and it should not be al
lowed to pass UNDECIDED. 1t is a
very common thing to hear cur
young men remark that the war
ruined their educational prospects.
They could fall into no greater
error. If they would begin the
work Of self.culture in earnest,
they could soon make up for lost
