A sueee..tal l,u.Ines. Man.


Mr.. George W. ohilds, proprietor Of
the Philadelphia Ledger, tells in print
how he commenced life. No beginning
could have been more humble. He
went to work at an early age and worked
with will. Before breakfast he was at
his employers store, making the fire,
sweeping outand generally setting things
in shape for the days business. He
trundled his wheelbarrow through the
streets and wasn't ashamed Of 1t. Mr..
Childs 10 one Of the rich men Of the
country and continues to make money,
There are boys and young men to-day
doing Just what Mr.. Childs did; and
there are some Just as poor as he was
who would almost rather jump in the
river than to do what he did. They
hear 1t said that all honest toll is honor
able, that the way to get on in the world
Is to accept the employment which offers
and 90 At 1t with q will. They hear
these things and do not at all accept
them as applying to themselves. They
seek something "genteel" and prefer TO
wait until they get 1t.
Make fires, sweep out store or an
office, trundle wheelbarrow2 Not
they. They do not really object to the
labor, perhaps, but they cannot stand
the idea Of their friends knowing that
they are performing mental service.
Some Of these too nice young men stun.

bling through life as dependents or
mendicants. The boy who Is above
doing we'll the first honest thing that
comes his way, makes a bad start in
