A very rich business man of Boston
told an interviewer the other day how
he began his business life on one dol
lar IL week, aud how he advanced from
that point to his present position by
being temperate, industrious and hon
est. He ended by saying: "!Any young
man can do as we'll as I have done, Il
he only will"
Young men know that this is not
true. Tens of thousands of young men
during the forty years of that mer-
chants successful career, have been as
virtuous as he, without making much
Roadway in business. They have been
punctual, diligent, faithful, and we'll
skilled in their vocation: but there
they are, about where they were years
ago, working hard for moderate com
pensation, and seeing no prospect of
much change.
1t is not possible for many men to
found great stores and make great for
tunes in them, for the simple season
that the largest city does not furnish
business for many such. These prizes
fall to the lot of the few individuals in
each trade who combine i'm themselves
great talent for business with great
tenacity of purpose. They passion
atelv want to succeed, and they know
how.
Ii our merchant had said that many
young men could do much better than
he had done. he would have come
nearer the truth. In most of our great
and famous placeso of business there are
clerks who have done a great deal better
than their employers. We saw one the
other day. II Young u aged %, salary
$500 IL year, whose father died ten
years ago, leaving II wife and four chill

ness to those dearest tn him.

ton it is To control millions of dollars.
and W a tedious superiority of other
things. Happily. most of Ills are spared
this great trouble. and have n chance
to discover how little is required for IL
truly successful and Joyous existence.

Lifeis life, and We must make the best
of it. To live for self alone, for the

How Irrigation Works.

be made q success in Miner county, as
shown by the following: About the mid
die of June j. W. Briggs, after his wheat
was nearly dried up, turned upon a five-
acre field artesian water. The effect was
quickly seen and has continued. The
wheat not thus treated was not cut, while
t Q irrigated field will average twenty-five
bushels TO the acre. 1t is thought that
had the crop been watered earlier the yield
would have been forty or fifty bushels per
ucre.

from the least moisture to the most again,
occurs over an average range Of ten or
twelve years. The dry seasons began for

be supplied at a moderate cost and thus
emancipate the farmers from the clutches

committee. however, has reported adverse

the report is founded are that the cost of
