ADVICE OF TWELVE

nothing which so drags a man down. It makes him despise himself, and often causes him to resort to mean and petty subterfuges.
 Put what money you have and all you can save In the future at interest, where it will be well secured. Real estate is the most safe of all invest ments. Nothing in the world works like money at interest. It never stops, day or night, Sundays or holidays. It just keeps on working away for its owner in rain and sunshine alike.
 Never try to work at more than one kind of business at time.
 Persevere in whatever you are en- gagged in until you have succeeded or until you are satisfied that you never can succeed in that line To make money dishonesty is the hardest thing in life Therefore preserve your fnteg- rity John Randolph of Roanoke once said: 'I have found the philosophers s stone, and it is this rule, Pay as you go.'" Nothing is truer. The road to wealth lies in paying out less than we take in.

may be unhesitatingly asserted that there is no better way to become rich on small savings that by using them in the purchase of improved real es- tate.
 Nothing is likely to grow in value more rapidly. With your $500 you had better buy piece of improved real es- tate, however small, that is paying suf- ficient rent to pay the taxes and the in terest on whatever amount of money you would have to borrow. Pay in cash what little money you have and give your note, secured by a mortgage on the property, for the balance in small sums, falling due at short intervals, and then use all your extra income from the rent of your property in pay ing them off. You never incur any risk in discounting your own notes, and when your friends find that you are placing your money where it Is perfect ly secure they will be glad to assist you if those notes should come due a little too rapidly. Thus in a short time and all before you know it, you will have a considerable and perfectly safe invest ment.
 If you had a rich father who would furnish the cash to start you In busi- ness you would probably do better in the long run if you invested it in the way I have pointed out rather than to risk it in trade, meanwhile earning your living by working for salary.
 For a young man starting in life, whose ambition is to become rich, l would say:
 never do a mean thing for money.
 I know of no better way for a young man just starting in life to become rich than to be always sober, honest, indus triOus and economical: to be true to his h al f1 all hn can without being parsimonious, and to invest his savings judiciously in the way I have indicated.

young man at the age of 21 has at- tained.
 The savings bank is the best place for that first few hundred dollars, and the owner should go to work where, if he have the ability, he can learn business methods and lay the foundation for a successful future.
 This war will make better times. and there will be employment in plenty for those who are not needed to do the fighting, so no industrious man need be idle. Every one cannot hope to have a salaried position. but there will be plenty of room in the ranks of the me chanics and artisans of all kinds whose work is necessary to carry on the af- fairs of the world.
 "A young man of Drains will. while he is working for wages at whatever comes to hand, find out by observation what line of business he is best adapted to and devote his energies to acquiring sufficient knowledge and funds to go into it.
 Real wealth, however, consists in being healthy and industrious and in spending less than you make every day. DANIEL MEYER.

When Ren1enui P1dued
 the Star 6pangIed Banner

-HE tragic death of Edouard Remen-
 vi. which has just occurred in this
 city, recalls a patriotic demonstra-
 ton, which took place up6n the oc-
 4 casion of his playing in a concert in
 Shanghai, China, eleven years ago, when he was making a tour of the Orient.
 It rivaled in wildness of enthusiasm any thing that had occurred here. evenin these troublous times; for, war or no war, it is, perhaps, only when one is separated from ones native land by thousands of miles of land and sea that he can realize or appreciate the thrill, the wave of en- thusiasm that surges over one at the sight of his flag, or the sound of na- tional anthem.
 The last number on the programme that night was medley of national airs. The audience was composed or English, French and a few Americans.
 The 'Marseillaise'' came first. The Frenchmen rose in body. shouting and waving their handkerchiefs, and many hat was taken home that night, bruised and battered, the result of having been pitched high in the air.
 God Save the Queen" came next, when as with one accord rose up the English portion of the audience, who screamed and shouted until they were hoarse. And then as the first majestic notes of ''The Star Spangled Banner" struck the air America was heard from. There was but a boxful in the house. and of l these three were women, but the noise | that they made was quite equal to that | which greeted either of the other airs. | One of the ladies pulled from her breast | a small American flag, which had lam | there. close to her heart, ever since leaV- l ing her own country. In her excitement, | she had leaned far over the edge or the | box and, there she remained, waving llL that | flag. the tears streaming over her cheeks, until the last strain of the glorious oia | hymn had died away. | So great had been the uproar. that httle more than the first notes of eacn nyinh | had been heard, but Remenyi stood there, l his body swaying 10 the music, 1ranllcatls Il saving the air while louder and more l furious grew the shouts of the almost | frenzied audience.
 A few days later. the little artist was | invited to a dinner His treasured Vio- l lin, the Princess" as he lovingly called | 1t, had been sent ahead of him, ana ms 1 first question, upon arriving, was Has she come?'

"Do not tell me she is not yet here or I shall be desole.'
 Just then the butler appeared. carrying the violin. "Oh, give it to me; I could not live without my precious Princess cried Remenyi as he hugged it closely to him.
 After dinner he entertained the com pany with many interesting and unique experiences that he had had in many. lands. Many curios had he collected and many presents received from royal hands. That which was delighting him at that time was. very beautiful gold lacquered box that had been sent him by the Jap- aneSe Alikado.
 Exceedingly nervous, eccentric to a degree, the wiry little man was never still a minute. No one dared plead TOT music, but at last the spirit moved him; and approaching the Princess he lifted her carefully from her silken wrappings.
 It was summer, and the nights in Shanghai at this season are excessively hot. Every door and window in the town was opes Sounds could be plainly heard from house to house, and in the adjoining building a farewell dinner was being given by a lot of bachelors to a compan- ion. As the night grew older the sounds that issued from this house grew louder e'i RemenVi every little while would put his fingers in his ears to shut out the hideous sounds. but at last things becom- ing quiet next door, ne Fehlureo to Aldhe more pleasant sounds.
 He had but fairly started when the occunants of the adjoining house brSAe forth with Hes Joliy Sood 1elloW, each one singing in a different key and saen,ing1v wing with the other as to who could sing the loudest. Remenyi's ,ndignation knew no bounds. He strutted up and down, he played louder and louder. he swore to himself, and at last, in his wrath snapped q string. and then gave 1t up. anathematizing the fel- lows next door as ''barbarians'
 That broken string is now in the pos session of a young woman in this city, who prizes it highly as memento of the eccentricity of a genius whose music Is now stilled forever. The restless, pas sionate soul of the great musician has at last found rest; the wall and sob of his strings, the laughter, the turmoil and the pain of them will never more thrill the sympathetic listener

not inclined to do in that way things that he does not like. But whatever young men do from choice they as rule do well. It is therefore very inn portant for a young man just starting in life to be sure that the calling in which he engages is thoroughly con- genial to him, and one in which he can put forth his best efforts with the greatest enthusiasm and delight.
 The utility of a collegiate education for success in business is very often debated.
 As the college curriculum and training stand at present, the ordi- nary course is not in general calcu- lated to make good business man.
 It is enormously regarded by some people as a kind of substitute for bust ness training in the earlier years of a young mans life. There can be no greater mistake in the beginning of a business career. It is in many tn- stances not only a hindrance, but ab-
 HENRY cLEws.
 
 G. W. McNEAR:
 Do not Speculate. TN THE first place a young man
 should not think of going into
 business for himself while he is l still a very young man, unless he
 has been brought up in the busi- ness in which he wishes to embark. Where he has practically served an apprenticeship and has learned the real workings of a certain branch of industry or trade he may hope to make a success provided he is by nature sharp and shrewd and able to see and take advantage of every legitimate opportunity that comes in his way for the furtherance of his plans for worldly prosperity.
 If a young man has spent his youth in gaining an education and has no trade and no business experience he should think matters over seriously and try to discover what he is best fit ted for. No. one can tell him that as we'll as himself, but he must be per fectly honest in his mental valuation of his own capabilities. He must not allow himself to be influenced in his decision for his future by thoughts of what he would like to do or be, instead of determining to take up something which he knows he is really best adapt ed to.
 He may be so constituted as to make a far better mechanic than trader He may have special qualifications for a certain occupation Which Will make him advance rapidly in that particular field, while in another he will prove flat failure, no matter how hard and conscientiously he may strive to make his way along.
 Once havi~~ settled the question of his proper vocation the new beginner should endeavor to get into an office or a store or a shop or a factory where by applying himself steadily he can learn the business which he intends to enter thoroughly and practically. Meanwhile he should take the advice Of some trustworthy and experienced per son as to a safe investment for his $500 until such time as he is competent to handle it for himself.
 Above all things he should not at- tempt to speculate with it. Specula- tion with small sums is almost al- ways disastrous to the speculator financially and the. excitement and uncertainty are disastrous to. young and inexperienced minds.
 The races should be strictly avoided, for where one gains scores lose, and the hope of making money in such ways units youn~ men for real work in the business world.

C. p. HUNTINGTON
 Says Jump right In and work.


 There is no general rule which
 will fit all cases, for the question
 of money-making all depends upon the boy who is trying to make the money There are so many different characters and so many different grades of ability among our youth that advice which would help one would be a disadvantage to another.
 To my mind young man who had no money at all upon reaching his ma iority would be really better off than one who had $500 which he had not earned himself.
 But to the young man who had the $500 I would say put it out at interest somewhere and go to work Don't wait around for good job, or one that is easy and ensures the wearing of good clothes, but take the first thing that comes to hand, and while you are working at that with a will, keep watch for anything bet ter that happens along.
 A good boy, with honesty of purpose, who does his best wherever he is, who feels enough interest in whatever work he is doing to do 1t as well as if he were working for himself and doesn t feel it necessary to keep one eye on the clock all the time, will find himself rap idly advanced under a just employer, and will have no trouble about getung along in the world
 One thing should be remembered, however, and that is that the 'sharp" boys are not always the good boys, and that the character of the man Is what should give him his status in the world and not his capacity for making money.
 The great trouble at the present time is that there are not enough boys who are willing to do hard work They all want easy, we'll dressed situations, or if they do not their mothers and fathers want such situations for them.
 Hard labor is looked upon as being almost. if not quite, disgraceful, and clerkships in stores and offices, even on starvation wages, are eagerly sought for, while rough work-anything which hardens the hands or soils the garments-is looked upon as in every way lowering and undesirable.
 No, I do not believe in speculation. In New York City, among those keen spectators, only about three in every hundred make great successes Of their ventures, and the other ninety-seVen are living lives of feyerish uncertainty all the time.
 When l was young I worked hard and kept whatever money l made out at interest, adding to it little at time as 1 could, and l soon found that nothing makes money like money. Now when young men come to meas they do frequently-and ask my ad- vice as to how to shape their futures, l tell them of my youth, and give them just these three brief rules:
 First-Be honest. Give your employ CT honest service, and show honesty of purpose in all your dealings.
 Second-Be industrious and perse- vering, and permit yourself no idle mo- ments. You can study and read books when you are not busy, and everything which you can gain in this way will be of service to you in your future.
 Third-Be frugal. Make it a rule to deny yourself useless luxuries of every kind and save little from your earn ings-if only a dime-every day. These rules strictly followed will help any boy to make a man of himself and to make money likewise.

 Advises Living Within Your lDcome.

You ask me what I should advise V a young man with $500 to do in
 order to make the most of 1t and | of himself.
 In the first place, if the youth to be advised is addicted to smok- ing, drinking and gambling, ad- vice of any kind is totally unnec- essary. Such boy has, even in his boyhood, settled the question of his future for himself.
 If a boy, however, has grown up with prudent habits I should tell him to, in the first place, make 1t an invariable rule to bring his expenses within his income at all times, no matter how small that income may be.
 Then, whether his money is placed at interest or used in some business en- terprise he will sooner or later become a rich man.
 I should tell him also not to invest in land or city lots and wait for his neigh bor's enterprise to make it valu- able, but to watch carefully for some business opening of a respectable char acter, where his own efforts, aided by his invested capital, would help him along toward financial success. Even a few hundred dollars put into a busi- ness for which one has a natural apti- tude and into which one puts not only his money but his own personal work, may be the foundation of a well-earned fortune.
 should likewise tell this young man not to discard the advice of his father and mother or of some experienced friend and to be always prudent and honest since a good reputation will help one along in the world even if he have no capital whatever and depends on the work of his hands for his daily bread.

Y THINK a first-class savings bank
 as secure a depository for money
 as any place. There is not much
 use accommodating money if you do
 not get interest on 1t. In reply to your request for general advice and di- rections to aid a young man just start ing in life to become rich, l would say that if such a young man is in the em- ploy of others 1t should be his aim to earn his salary many times over, and not to be contented to earn it but once and merely give satisfaction to his em- ployers. He should strive to do more. In my first year in. business, though neither asked nor expected to do so, I frequently worked all night.
 A young man who thus devotes himself heart and soul to his employ CTS interest will soon find that his devotion is appreciated, for even if his employer should fail to reward it some one else will surely observe it, and the way to promotion will soon open before him.
 There are vacant places in the higher walks of every business and profession for the young men who follow this course.
 Some men fail because they overrate their own ability and underestimate that of their competitors. Such mis- take should be carefully avoided. Let a man with ever so great natural abfl- ity, but lacking a capacity for hard work, compete with a duller man, but one who tolls early and late, and the latter will outrun him on the road to success every time. Wed natural abil- ity to hard work and you have a com biaation that nothing can defeat.
