ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
The Value of Perseverance Set Forth IL
True Texas Style.

Tho Value OF Perseverance Set Forfh An
True Texas Style.
The great trouble with many young
people. and likewise with some who
are not young and who are not going
to be young again very soon if they
keep on. is that they lack persever-
ance. This criticism. of course, does
not apply to all young people. There
are quite a number who are notable
exceptions to the rule.
Our remark in regard to lack of per-
severance was not intended to wound
the feelings of the worthy young man
who gives up the whole of his mind to
raising with difficulty a young mus
tache. There may be lack of hair,
but there is no lack of perseverance
on his part. His efforts to induce the
shy and downy mustache to protrude
from its hiding place out into the
bright glare of the MONDAY sun.
where it can be seen and admired, are
unceasing. In fact. as too much kind
ness once killed cat we are afraid
that the extraordinary amount of
fondling the incipient mustache is
subject to is perhaps one of The reasons
why the crop yields so little to the
area cultivated.
But we will let up on the moustache.
as it is down already. The small boy
seeking to perpetrate an eclipse OF
pie. whose circumference apparently
exceeds that of the boy, is another
exception to the rule of young people
not having suffic perseverance. In
fact he has more perseverance than
pie. There is. on such occasions. no
such word as fail with the small boy
of the large appetite.
The class of citizens to whom we
refer as lacking in perseverance is
composed of those who start out with
enthusiasm, but either fly the track or
allow themselves to be distanced in
the race. With these persons. if a
calculated exertion fail. they imme-
diately become discouraged. and fol-
low suit by making an assignment for
the benefit of their creditors. Sue

cept where a party is yearning to
achieve success as lament able fail
ure. VIII CHI is the only kind of success
that is ever captured by the man who
allows himself to be bluffed by ad-
versity.
We do not desire 10 do any injustice
to the gifted editors who run the party
press. but the greatest inventor of the
age is undoubtedly Edison. Edison is
a great inventor. and he himself says
that if it were not for his persever-
ance he would not amount to row of
pins. Edison says that when you
start out to accomplish any thing,
you must concentrate yourself upon it
and not allow any thing to disturb
you. fyou allow your attention to
be diverted from your work. you will
be unable to recover the lost ground.
An intruder may offer you unrivaled

be disturbed. but persevere in your

If you have cramp-colic and book
agent whispering in each ear. do not
allow yourself to be disconnected. We
do not mean to say precisely that the
could whisper in your
ear, but only the book-agent. Under
no circumstances allow yourself to be
put out. He that endureth 10 the end
will inevitably get there.
What Ellison says applies not only
TO the field of invention, but the same
principle holds good in any depart
ment of human industry. The states
man, the burglar. the life insurance
agent, the journ alist. the train robber,
the New York alderman, the hack
iriver-in fact success in any and all
Of the learned professions depends
mainly on perseverance. -Teras Stft-
