MAKE LIFE A SUCCESS
DEAR O. O. FEESDs. Life Is what we make IL, a
success failure. IL cultivate good habits
will be successful; but II we cultivate bad hAb-
I its we are sure fail. There are "A great many
who say thRt fate b. against them when they fail,
but Ia reality u j. their own fault How can gar
oencr who cuitivhtes nothing but weeds peci that
/ his garden shall be fun u fiowersg II people
would make Il their aim 90 cultivate good habits
there would not be 30 much crime and misery in
the world. lt H. strange too That people who
boast Of their intelligence and civilization are such
/ abjecl slaves 10 evil habits.
/ Dear G. g. friends et us conquer all bad habits
aud cultivate good habits Let az make Il our duty
always 10 dOtle best can. That h. the way, aud
the only way, 10 make life succcss.-Chris
