The advisory board of architects and others
selected by the House committee on public
buildings and grounds, on the subject OF Site
for new local post office, o-day through Hon.

recommends, first, that the increasing demands

one, and the building well adapted for post
Office The committee also recommend that
the general government acquire by pure 1aSe
and condemnation the square bounded by sth
and 9Th and and F streets. The committee
say that the apfdly-iDcreasing general postal
service will soon require more room than 1t can
be accommodated with In the present building
and that If the aforesaid square can now be
bought On favorable terms 1t would be economy
On the part OF the government to make the pur-
chase, inasmuch as the time must S)On come
when the Post Office department will require

Not by Chance.

Perhaps in some isolated instances man
may become wealthy through series of cir
cumstances very much resembling "luck, !"
but as rule, those who would enjoy success
must work hard for it Twenty clerks in q
store, 20 hands in printing office, 20 appren-
tees in ship yard, 20 men in village-all
want to get on in the world and expect to do
so. One of the clerks will become e partner
and make a fortune; one of the compositors
will own a newspaper and become an infuen-
tial citizen; and one of the apprentices will
become a master builder; one Of the young
villager will get handsome farm and live
like patriarch-but which one is the lucky
individual? Lucky There is rarely any
luck about it. The young fellow who will
distance his competitors is he who masters his
business, who preserves his integrity, who
lives Clearly and purely, who devotes his
leisure to acquisition OF knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them, and who saves his
spare money. There are some ways to for
tune shorter than this old dusty highway;
but the staunch men of the community, the
men who achieve something really worth
having, good, fortune, good name, and serene
old age, all travel in this road. a
