gentleman with kindly eyes waited
to hear what Jim had to say for

was full, and all he could do was
to open his jacket and show the
little dog contentedly nestled there.

The kind doctor soon had the
whole story, and so much pleased
was he with the boys honesty and
kindness of heart that he made
him lis oftiee-boy. Jim became a
favorite with everybody in the

Brains and Character VS.. Money
in Society BIS In
Some persons have an idea chat
to have money in ones possession
is a key to every success. To
some extent this is a mistake.
Money may buy brain and use
the same to carry out an object In
view, but it takes brains to recog-
nize brain force in others there
fore, fool with money is even
worse off than man of brains
without money. zds 4aag
Neither does money always
open the door of society, True, a

will take something more than
fortune to enable one to become
recognized as q man of culture in
good society.
A gentleman is born so, and if
he has not the natural instinct to-
be a gentleman he will find it up

In this free land Of ours, where
genius, brains force and strength
lof character are being recognized
on all sides, there is no earthly
excuse for an ambitious young
man of honest habits and force of
character to stay out of good So

Notwithstanding young man
to play his hand for all that is in it
at every given opportunity, The
young man who depends on God,
man or Something to turn up" to-
help him along is bound to be sadly
beaten sooner or later. "God
helps only those who help them
selves is one Of the wisest and
sruest proverbs, and the young

for an honest livelihood has no
business to attempt to live in this
progressive, enterprising world of
ours, and the sooner he shuffles off
to eternal rest and sleep the better
for himself, and especially for
those he leaves behind CiuciJnoJ
