Does Farming Paw

Why not Gsk does merchandise
ing pay, or school teaching, or the
practice of law, or the carpenters
trade, or, as for that anything else I?
Any, or all, of the above questions
might as appropriately be asked
as the one which heads this article.
Does merchandising pay? That
depends upon who the merchant
is. There are some merchants in
Dawson who do make it pay-they
make money every year. There are
others, however, who do not make
it pay-never did; and there are
still others who lose everything
they ever had. How do you ac-
count for this? The difference is
in the men and not in the business.
Then, for Heavens sake, don't lay
it upon the business that the man
follows, but lay it on the man him
self. The same is true of school
teaching. One teacher will sue
ceed and do we'll where another
would starve to death. The diff
erence is in the men. So with the
practice of law, preaching, editing
anewspaper, building of houses, or
anything else you please. Well,
then, does farming pay? That
depends upon who the farmer is.
There are farmers in Terrell coun-
ty who do make it pay-yes, every
year they make it pay. There are
some whodc not make it pay-they
live from year to year without
any appreciable change-nothing
made, nothing lost; and, yet, there
are still others who lose everything
in very few years. Why this
difference? 1t is not in the land,
but in the man. Such are the facts,
and thus it has always been, and
will always be so as long as time
shall last. Shakespeare says some
men are born great, some acquire
greatness and some have greatness
thrust upon them. So it is with
everythingelse in life. Some men
are born merchants, some are
born school-teachers and some are
born farmers. The idea prevails
in this country to an alarming ex-
tent that man can farm when he
can't do anything else. This is
u very fatal mistake indeed, but
one that may never be corrected
There are hundreds of men in this
country to-day, that would have
succeeded better at almost any,
thing else than farming, and vice
versa. People are won't to talk of
the good old ante-bellum days"
when everybody had plenty of
money. That may be true, but
they didn't all get it by farming.
just as few men made money be-
fore the war by farming as those
who make it now by farming.
After all, it was never intended
that every man should get rich at
farming, merchandising or any,
thing else. We are half way in
clined to the opinion that thingsare
moving along just about as they
were intended to move; the only
thing in the way is that We don't
accept the situation and be thank
ful that we are doing as well as
We are.

HE RESIGNED.
Henry Willard Retires from the Presi-i
dency of the Northern Pacific,
And Makes an Assignment OF His Proper
~. Worth Millions.

New YORK, January 4.-Mr. Henry Vii
lard to-day resigned the presidency of the.
Northern Pacific, and assigned his adison'
Square palace, his big residence at Dobbs'
Ferry and great deal of real estate I'M
this city to MIR. E. Endicott jr., and.
Horace White for the benefit of his credits
ors. His lawyer says: "The,,
cause of the collapse is that
he lent his credit and security to the Ore
gon Transcontinental, and the assignment
was meant simply to secure $500, 900 which
he owes the Oregon Railway and Naviga-.
tien Company. A year ago he was worth
at least S., ,000, 900; to-day it is impossible to
say how much he will save from the wreck
of his fortune" The real property in
block bounded by Fiftieth and Fifty-first
streets and Madison and Fourth avenues,
including the mansion recently erected
upon the Madason avenue front. The
property is said to be worth SIC, ,000, 900.
The property recently conveyed
by Willard to his legal advisers was
expressly excluded from the conveyance to
the assignees. The other real property pos
sessed by Willard is his handsome summer
residence at Dobbs' Ferry, on the Hudson,
which is worth about $250,000. The extent
of his indebtedness to the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company was
formation be obtained as to his other liza
bilities. 1t is said he is still the owner of
large interests in railroad and other COM
panies, and that his wife holds government
bonds to the amount of 100000. No accur.
ate statement of his assets, however, is OBJ
tainable tonight, and Willard is still too i'll
to received visitors.
