 u ually decides the question of his "A future for him, though some do 1 \ break away from all the tradi-
 tions of their forefathers and carve their lives out for themselves. A young man will be able to make more or less of $500 In exact proportion to his own ability. If the conditions of his boyish life have been such as to make him able to understand his own possi- bilities and limitations and the possi- bilities and limitations of certain lines of procedure in the business world, he will be able to use his money with pru- dence and. foresight and will make a fortune where one of different educa- tiOn will make a failure.
 My advice to the average young where it will draw steady interest, no matter if small, and go to work for the best wages he can get.
 So small sum would be of little use invested legitimately, and dabbling in stocks Is too exciting for young men. Above all things, I would warn him to keep away from the races and every form of gambling. Where one makes IlLO4lGy III SuCu lIllISS, lIuIluI cUS oiI ruined for life, both financially and morally. With $500 drawing interest. and a salary coming in monthly, young man may consider himself on the high road to fortune-that is, if he makes it a rule to add to his capital at least little at every payday. It is surprising to see how money grows when you plant it and take care not to disturb it.
 Perhaps there are not the extraordin- arily good chances to make money now that there were thirty or more years ago, but a young fellow with the right kind of a disposition will find chances anywhere and any time.
 He must make the most of whatever education he has been able to obtain, abjure cigarettes and liquors, build up a reputation which will be a recom- mendation to him anywhere, and he will come to the top without fail.
 Business men watch their employees more closely than the employees sus- pect, and the young man who is hon est, clean, industrious, economical and persevering will be advanced and as sisted to make the best of himself, where the idle, the careless, the diss1- pated and the untrustworthy are all lowed to drop out and go to destruc- tion in their own way.

H E advice in this case would de- IA U pend entirely upon the individ- MI ual young man.
 M To say what would be the
 best thing for all young men,
 irrespective of natural inclina- tion, business ability and early train ing, would be an impossibility, since there is no one avenue of trade or spec ulation which is sure to lead straight to success in money making. Different persons are fitted for different avOca- tions; one man will succeed in business where another, his equal in everything except special fitness for that certain line of work, will make a complete fail ure.
 My general advice would be to young men of grit and stamina to do what I did when was young-go to a new country with their minds made up to make the very best of themselves and their opportunities In every new country there are chances innumerable for those who know enough to take advantage of them.
 There will be a wide field for busi- ness enterprise in the Philippines and the West Indies, as there is now in the Klondike, but the man who goes to either place must make up his mind firmly to endure privations and hard ships of all kinds, to be economical in every way, and not to allow himself to become discoura ged even if he meet with many disappointments and dis couragements.
 With a good constitution good hab- it's. perseverance and a brave heart, there Is no reason why our young men of the present day should not make as large fortunes under present conditions as their elders have in the past. There are as good openings in the Klondike region now as there were in California when I came out here in 1S49. Five hundred dollars will get a man there comfortably, and, once there. it is his own fault if he does not make money. Not necessarily in gold digging, though some will make fortunes at that, but in some branch of trade or investment which he will discover once he, is there and has the ability to see how things are going. A young man going up there and working for wages would

either through inheritance or from per sonal bad habits could not hope to sue ceed, but temperate, sturdy, non-c1gar- ette smoking boys can do well there, as they can in all new settlements.
 A young man with $500 would do far better outside the city than he could hope to do where there is such con stant crush for employment, and such constant struggle for business suprem- acy, as there is in all th1ckly settled communities.
 Too many of our boys, both rich and poor, are willing to stay around home and let their parents support them and look out for them as ii they were still children.
 If they had the right feeling they would strike out for themselves and make up their minds not only to care for themselves in manly fashion. put to so order their lives as to be able to care for father and mother in thelr declining years.
 As for opportunities-there are plenty right here in our own State if young man has the capacity to take advan- tage of them. This State has not been half worked, and there are fortunes yet to be taken out of the ground here by the men who will go at the task or unearthing them in the right way
 My advice to any young fellow who was uncertain what to do with himself and his small capital would be to spend no time looking about for investments and not to venture nickel in speculation, but to use as much of it as is necessary to take him away into some place where he would be thrown completely on his own resources and be obliged and have fair chance to work his way up.

 M " fly was asked the secret of his
 great financial success he an- swered. 'I buys cheap and sells dear"
 Those who follow that method al- ways succeed. Few things present bet ter opportunities to buy cheap and sell dear than stocks and bonds, and such securities, when gilt-edged, not only pay interest on theb investment, but can also be readily turned into money at any time if desirable.
 In order to become rich the young man just starting in life should choose that occupation or vocation for which he has the most decided preference.
 Many a man has his nose to the grindstone," so to speak, throughout life simply because he has chosen, or his relatives and friends have chosen for him, some business or profession for which he is not adapted, and which he finds is not congenial to him, while in a career for which nature and edu- cation had fitted him he might not only be happy and successful, but make his mark as star of the first magnitude.

He should be careful to keep himself in good health, for without that no man can win fortune, generally speaking.

something which he does not know anything about.
 It is hard for experienced men of bus mess, who have made investments the study of years, to place money satis- factorily-that is where it will be en- tirely safe and at the same time bring in a really good rate of interest. A young man would be pretty certain to lose the entire sum did he attempt to start out for himself with so small a capital in the way of money as the amount mentioned, and so small a cap ital in the way of practical knowledge of business affairs as the average

N EY advice to young men who are anxious to advance to the front M rank in the struggle in life is M that out of every five dollars
 they earn they should save and put out at interest one dollar of it.
 Money at interest is like a calf of which an honest old German once told me. He said that the purchase of that calf was the best thing he ever did, for the calf grew just the same whether her owner was asleep or awake, and almost before he knew it she had grown to be a full-sized COW, worth many times what he had paid for her. Just so is it with money at interest.
 If young man just starting in life will pursue the course I have advised and is otherwise capable, he will be- come rich.

the for or five small vessels which

From Fridays Daily


In last evenings Review a small
article mentioned the fact that the
barn and contents belonging to Mr..
Hutchinson, who lives on the Ohio
side of the river, near Cochransville,
had been burned. On account OF
the fire occurring just as the paper
was going to press, it was impossi-
bic to get the full particulars, but
this morning something about it
was learned.
1t seems that no good cause for
the fire can be given. There had
been no fire about the barn for a
long time, not even in the nature
of lantern. When the fire was
first noticed the entire interior Of
the barn was in blaze, and 1t was
impossible to do any thing more
than attempt to save some of the
machinery, which had been stored
away.
In addition to the greater part OF
the farming machinery being in the
barn, there Was the hay crop OF the
farm for three seasons, amounting
to about three hundred tons, which
has been held on account of the
low price of the hay market.
A couple of days ago Mr.. Hutch
inson sold his hay and there had
been bailer there at work for some
time putting it up and the entire
one side of the building was filed
with bailed hay. The loss from
the hay alone, to say nothing of the
barn and farming implements will
amount to large sum.
In speaking of the matter last
evening, Mr.. Hutchinson stated that
he could not account for the origin
OF the FIRE in any other way than
that some enemy had maliciously
set il on FIRE. He stated that bis
loss would amount to between FIVE
and six thousand doRars and that
the Insurance did not amount to a
great deal.
The harm burned was one OF the
best IN that section of thr country
and had only been built a few years
ago.
