The world is full OF people who have
transformed crushing calamlties into
"stepping-stones to higher things"
Mlsfortunes have proved for many
turning points on the road TO fortune
some remarkable instances Of this have
occurred in very recent times.
Take the case OF Mr.. Cecil Rhodes
The crownlng fortune of his life was
when he sailed for the Cape, after the
doctor had given him barely three
months to live. Many men would have
succumbcd-given up the ghost. Not
so Mr., Rhodes He resolutely deter
mined to live. and to fight his way in
the world. His history is very instruc-
tive. Son Of n poor clergyman with
| big family and a small living-a char
acterlstic clerical combination-the fu-
| ture Warren Hastings Of Africa was
! not brilliant success in England
Keen competition reduced him to Il per
week. Then his health failed, and he
/ He'd to Africa MS a forluru hope. There
he not only restored his health, but
also made pane md u fortune after
| much hard work and many exciting
struggles. This younger son who
started with pluck and shattered health
as his stock-iu-trade now looms large
as the most powerful influential Eng
lshman In South Africa, where bruiny
aud plucky Britons abound
