they do not tempt as other fields do,
and there is an immense of
wealth here. The professions are all
mines OF wealth.

never speculate. Or specu ate only

owns 1t nine-tenths Of it, II he will let
you keep the other tenth for develop

possible parts of the country. Find
flaws in his present way uf doing
things, do them better for him, and,
finally, work all the time, taking little
recreation and pausing only for
health's sake. Eat and sleep, Tut never
take time to idle. 1t is your time that
counts in a young business.
THE claim is made that the sons of
rich men have all the chances and the
sons of poor men none at all. This is a
mistake that, to the rich man, is ludi-
crous. Rich mems sons are born in
luxury. They have luxury enough,
money enough. They want some one
to take the care of their superfuous
money off their hands. Here is the
chance Of the ambitious young man.

he can make a fortune for beth.
THE rich mans son has not a better
chance of success than the poor mans
son. l do not say that Cornelius Van>
derbiit's son has not a better start than
the cobbler's son, but in the long run
the cobbler's son can make very great
strides.
The cobbler's son Is moi handicap,
ped in life, unless handicapped by lack
OF brains. Here and here alone birth
tells. The son of a country doctor, the
son Of a country clergyman, the son OF
a book-loving mother, the son OF a man
who reads literature while he cobbles
shoes, has the same chance of ultimate
success as the capitalists son. The
latter, II he has no brains, will spend
his money; but the former, having
brains, will accumulate it. As one
loses the other gains. Brains and
money go hand in hand.
Luck? Do l believe in luck? No.
There is no luck, except that brought
around by cleverness and work ana
making friends. Other luck is so
fleeing that it is not luck, merely a
chance-thrown away.
Long chances are bad things for
young men. You can't afford to take
them. Good steady work, economy, a
little money in the bank, 4 reinvest-
ment and an honest, steady purpose
