WEALTH Is YOURS, YOUNG MAN.
some Good Advice on the Only True Road
TO Wealth and Happiness.

A Young man was recently heard to
remark, "IfI only had thousand dol
lars, I'd make it five thousand inside OF
a wear. He then went on to draw a
comparison between himself and another
young man about his own age who had
become, through the death of his father,
in possession of large fortune. The
comparison, to be sure, was rather un-
complimentary to the fortunate young
mans abilities, yet it demonstrated two
things, viz:
The lack of contented spirit, the
sweetness of existence; and the conceit
of one who lacks energy and vim to roll
up nls sleeves and do the very best he
can with the means provided him by
providence. Young man, did you ever

You know how much easier it IS to part
with a dollar given you than with q
quarter you have worked hard to get.
There is no real reason for young man to
complain of his lot in this world. Every
wrong, every drawback, so-called, is III
nine cases out of ten imaginary, and
when not. is the result of carelessness or
lack OF Judgment in taking advantage OF
circumstances.
It would be well for every young man
to understand first that he has got to
work for all he gets in this world.
Without work he cannot succeed while
with it he stands an equal chance with
the best to gain wealth and influence,
which combined with health is all that
man can wish for in this world. 1t IS
not wrong to wish for riches, but you
can rest assured that you will never
realize that wish unless you work hard
ana practice economy. You will never
realize it on a salary of ten dollars
week while your expenses are fifteen or
twenty. You must learn to keep what
YOU have and the only way to keep
money is to earn it fairly and honestly.
Money thus obtained is pretty certain to
remain with its possessor. But money
inherited, or that in any way comes In
without fair and just equivalent, is
almost certain to go as it came. There
are, however, exceptions to the latter
rule. but it holds good in a general ap-
plication.
The young man who begins by saving

creases his store, every cent represen-
tative of honest work performed, stands
far better chance to spend his old age

become rich, obtains money by dashlng
speculation or the devious means when
abound in foggy regions which lie be-
tween fair dealing and fraud. Every
voung man on salary can save some-
thing. 1t may not be much, but every
little helps. 1t is like the falling OF the
snow flakes. Each flake is small In ana
of itself and as they fall have no weight,
but taken as a whole after an hours
storm they become weighty and power
full. 1t is not the one flake, but the
combination of and the unity OF many
that accomplishes the result. So 1t IS
in saving. It is not the single dime or
dollar that makes the wealth, but the
continual adding of them into a grand
unite that makes the fortune.
Young man, don't waste your time IN
wishing for wealth, but do the best you
can to accumulate it. Then will you en-
: ioy it. The very best thing for you to
+ do is to do the very best you know how.
It is hard rule to follow, may be, but
If is a safe one in all things. Follow 1t
and YOU will not only enjoy life as you
r 90 through the world, but your desire
D will be realized and the world and espec-
tally yourself will be the better for It,
