ADVICE TO YOUNG WIEN.
what Burdette Had 10 Say 10 the
Young Wen of boston.


Young Wen Of Boston.
Robert j. Burdette, the famous Bur-
lington Hlwkeye man, lectured at the
Young Mems Christian Association Hall.
There was large attendance. His SUBJ
ject was, "Advice to Young Men,
Itis more blessed, the lecturer said, to
give than to receive advice. The only
man ever knew who felt that he was
tco young to advise other people was
ninety-ei light years old and had just be-
gun TO learn that he didn's know any
thing. You always pay Tor the best
advice. Really good advice is never
free. Did you ever ask your lawyer a
question, my son? And what did the
lawyer say? Fifty dollars.
If you want to be somebody in this
world you must begin by being yourself.
Your great grandfather cant help you,
because he Is dead, and this is live
world, thaleyants living men. When
hear man.tnlkins too much about his
ances,ers, 4 ,ayi .sTherc is a mfn who
needs tbelaeS Jbave known men who
were very roud Of their ancestors whose
ancestors wer have been most dismalIy
ashamed of tktss. We care more for the
pedigree of HleS horse We buy than for
That of the msn Who sells him.
After all, hard work is the great secret
of success. It9econplishes more than
genius. Tbefeare white crows, but they
are no more, tssful iSan black ones.
Hard work doesn't kill men. Fun"
kills men. Ito good times" the boys
have lay them out. The hard workers
nave no time for dissipation, so they
live long. Mans work goes on forever,
but every man doesn't go on forever to
do it. He doesn't do il all while he does
stay here.
A Young man must do his best and
hardest work nov. When you can get
$50 line for your poetry, my bov, as
Mr. Tenn, son does, then YOU can eflOrd
10 write uoor poetry as Mr.. TeDnt sou
do, S. Wearing a Burnside Lat doesn't
give man war record. Twenty.eieht
inches OF coat padded across sixteen
inches of shoulders doesn't make on a
gymnast Men do not value turkey
for its plumage. Don't 20 into debt If
you can't get along without more than
you have. don't borrow; steal. 1t would
not worry you half SO much, and II you
steal enough you can &c to Canada and
become a shining light in society.
Does it ray you ask, ''to he honest?"
No, my son, not ii you're honest Tor pay
it doesn't. Not If you are honest merely
because you think 1t will pay; not If you
are honest because you are AFRAID to he a
rogue, not il you're honest because you
believe in that mean old saying that
honesty is the best policy Honesty
isn't policy, it's principle, and II you
can't be honest because your soul hates
lie and dcsrises mean action; il you
can't le honest for the sake OF the dear
white truth herself, don't try to be hon
est; be rascal; that's what you're in
tended for.
Get married, my son? Look me in the
eye; If you never do anything else in the
world, yet married Don't be in too big
huiIy about il, but don he too delib-
crate. 1t is your duty. Don't think the
girls are all buliei tll,s of fashion. II
you want to marry laundres-, do your
cuurting in lie ianndr,; but II you want
wife, marry the girl you love Be
honest with the world. Don't sail under
false colors. Don't repine over your
poverty; il is good for you.
We get most of our Presidents from
Illinois tan-yards and laims and OHIO
tow paths. Don't envy any great man,
my Roy. The great man, with his weight
OF years and care, envies you every time
lie passes you by. And il you cau't be
leader, double-leaded, column long, on
the second page, you can be something
Just as useful. Yon can he little pay
ing four-line solid nonpaIeil "ad.," on
the inside, down under a picture Of
Lydia Pinkhan, and that will help the
make up, and ill its place in the paper.
BE any thing in the world, MY boy that
ls alive and useful. BE any thing but u
dead adj Boston Herald.
