Men see the comforts, tn pleasures, the delights that wcaltl seems to bring, and in their eagernes to partake of them try to take shor cuts and devious ways to obtain riches Never was any proverb truer as re spects wealth than the homely one tha ''the longest way round is the shortcs way home" The short cuts almos invariably lead through bogs and mo rasses that sooner or later involve tn unlucky adventurer in inextricabl' difficulties. The long. hard way is tn best way, whether the young maj seeks wealth, honor or fame, and the, can all be achieved by any youth Q fair ability if he will but cosstaptl, bear in mind this pithy ip-ction q the accomplished man of the world "Dig, stick, save.
