We live in proportion as we love.
Half of your worry to-day is due to

A thought grows clear and definite

A great thought is more valuable

The unmeant mischief of fools is all
pervading and irremediable.
An excellent thing to remember is
that every story has two sides.
Business covers multitude of trans

a. YOUNG MANS CHANCE OF sue.
CESS,

In answer to an article recently pub
hshed in the Chicago Record as to a
young mans chances for success in its
city, one of the most successful bust
ness men of Chicago has this to say:
1t is doubtless harder to amass
a fortune to-day than it was sew
eral decades ago, hut the fact still
stands as true to-day as it ever
money is to save what YOU earn.
1t has been well said that n fool
can earn money. but it takes a
wise man to keep it. The poor
young man has. it seems to me.
an advantage over the rich young
man in that he must necessarily
learn how to work and TO save.
and If he does both persistentiy he
is bound to succeed In the end.

man with self-reliance, energy and
perseverance TO get out in the world
and fight his own way will find
that he soon has abundance OF what
some are pleased to call good
luck but what is in reality moth
ing but the inevitable result of per-
petual industry"
1t is quite true that It is more diff
cult to amass fortune to-day thar

reasons is that money is not so plentiful
and another is that conditions have
