The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-08-30

josh Billings once remarked "that II
wasn't how much man could lift, but
what he could hang hold of that showed
how strong he was" How true Some
hold OF money, but fer the life OF them,
they cannot keep II. How is II? You
cannot account for II. Then, again, you
see man trudge along all his life. He
is up the first thing in the morning, hus-
ties around and makes the fire, eats fru-
gal meal ard gets to work just in time to
save 15-minute dock, which the time
Keeper was about To make. He eats his
dinner, and at the sound of the whistle
or the bell he returns to his work again
for the balance OF the day.
When his days work is ended he goes
home, eats the meal that has been pre-
pared for him, reads The News, his favor
1te evening paper, listens TO the little
household talk of his wife and by 10
o'clock he has retired for the night. He
keeps this thing up every working day
in the year, and is always just enough
in arrears to keep him in a fretful mood,
and make him appear TO be more churr
ish than he really is.
Take another man as an example. He
gets up in the morning when he feels like
1t, say s O'Clock. His breakfast is ready
at $3.50, and he gets down to business
about 9:15, looks over his mail, and then
he lights cigar, and contemplates the
probabilities of taking advantage OF the
market to purchase goods TO replenish
his stock. AT 1870 he goes 10 lunch or at
3, or at the latest O'Clock. he goes home.
He has possibly made some money. At
any rate he does not have the anxiety OF
the first man. Why? Well it's hard TO
explain without knowing the circum-
stances. The first may be as worthy as
the second, but lacking natural ability
coupled with what the world calls ill
luck he nay have got into a rut, which il
Us hard n him to get out OF.
Gett;I.a In ruts and staying in them, IL
ley he ,he wrong kind, is what knocks
tie spots out of opportunities for success.
Young man, or middle-aged man, yon who
may Oe seated about the Tea Table"
this evening, and who consider that
yol nave lived long enough TO get your
eye teeth cut, get out of the rut il you
are in one. Try another groove. Get
acquainted with another class of people.
Make a mover-do something. If you can't
play the cornet. carry the bass drum, but
be In the procession.
"That's all very well,n you say, but 1t
takes money TO make money. True. And
you might add il takes brains with the
money TO get II TO working. Fortunate
investments are rare and when something
presents itself, catch on. Be ambitious
10 do something that will better your
condition. 1t may be struggle at first,
but If you have the sand, and anything of
merit, you will get there. Possibly a good
many OF you know OF the gentleman l
herewith take the liberty TO quote as an
illustration. Albert III. Clinton, Familiarity
know as Al few years since, made up
his mind that something in the way of
powder for the skin would, II made of
the proper ingredients, wholly devoid of
anything obnoxious but rather containing
medicinal qualities, which in themselves
would recommend II as an article OF the
toilet and the nursery, it would be suc-
cessful.
His various experiments soon culmin-
ated in the preparation which is now so
extensively used. Success did not crown
his efforts in minute. He had jealousy
and prejudice to contend with, but per-
sistency of purpose conquered, and today
there is demand for Clinton's Empress
powder, acknowledged the finest in the
world.
There was a jolly party at Crescent Park
last evening, and after enjoying one OF
Caterer Boyden's O'Clock bakes, they
were in happy mood TO enjoy the ops
era of "Pinafore, y which is being given
for the last time this week.
The work OF the decorators and the
painters is about finished, and the Paw
tucket Opera House will be a surprise TO
its patrons next Monday evening, when
Mr.. Saulson throws open the doors TO the
public. Hoyt's "Trip to Chinatown" is
TO be the opening attraction.
In leaving the "Tea Table, this evening,
don't forget TO fold your napkin. To
throw II down promiscuous like, as IL you
were still stopping at a summer hotel,
makes the waitress pass uncomplimentary
remarks. OLD VET
