subsidized a true chronicle will be
written that VIII throw around those

pRoFEssIoNAL OPENINGS.

In these days, when there is GER
tain amount of clamor for ''more
money" it may not be amiss to call
attention to the various professional
openings for young and struggling
aspirants for dross. 1t has often
been said that the youth of to-day
has fewer chances fol- acquiring
wealth than his father had, and that,
without influence, he is as badly off
as the famous cat who lost his claws
and went to board in his Satanic
maiestys steaming domain. This is
only true in so far as it relates to in
dividuals. There are hosts of young
men in every community to whom
influence is essential to success, who
were born to draw rather than to
earn salaries. and who, if this infu-
cnce were withdrawn. would proba-
bly, be incapable of earning their ice
water. In any age, and under any
conditions, these young men, rely
ing upon their own resources, would
fail. They would be incapable of
extracting a living from the mines
of Golconda without assistance.
But for the youth who has energy,
who was born with a backbone that
would make a crowbar seem limp by
comparison. the day in which we live
fairly deems with opportunity. And
not only does the age TEEN with OPP
portunity-it is fairly bursting, as
no other age has ever burst, with
chances with which it is stuffed. We
see the truth of this on every side,
Electricity is full of possibilities,
and one of our great universities,
that over which the Hon. Seth Low
presides, has recognized the fact by
the establishment of department
of electrical engineering. In jour
nalism, the young man with fresh
ideas and the ability to present his
ideas properly has what our West
EN- friends would call veritable
''cinch." In the pulpit, it is the
young, clear-headed, rational thinker
who is coming to the front. In
literature, the young men have it all
their own way-so in art, law, in the
educational world, and even in base
ball. Influence in these branches
tends more to develop incapacity
than to bring success. What a man
has in him to do and to be, that will
he do and be if he properly applies
himself.
The mistake many of our young
men make lies in rushing into the
law when they were born to practice
in rushing into journalism
when they were born to play base
ball, and in trying to play baseball
when nature intended that they
should preside over the destinies of
a church.
All you need, young man, is a
proper knowledge of yourself and
just estimate of your abilities, com
bined with wholesome love of hard |
work.
If you have these, the ''dross,r and |
what is still better, success, is sure. |

A SEVERE engagement was recently
fought at Tokai, Egypt, between
Egyptian troops and Osman Digma's
forces. Near 1000 lives. were lost. The
Egyptians charged with the inten-
ton of Selling the old government
building, but the dervishes seeing
this object surrounded it with a
compact mass of rifemen who pour
ed hot fire into the advancing
Egyptians. Returning the Arabs
fire as they advanced, the Egyptians
fixed bayonets and charged and for
an hour a desperate hand to hand
bayonet to syear, and sword fight
followed, the Egyptian cavalry
finally making a charge that retired
the dervishes in disorder.
