that success has crowned the efforts Of
many poor boy. and as others were
successful, why just such can be in store
for you. Many things towards the char
acter of q young man just starting out
in life for himself have a great deal to
do with his success or failure. A good
disposition with all the manners of po-
liteness Is a great advantage that some
don't care to have, but in most cases the
honest, polite. gentlemanly young man
will far lead the self-struck on self-young

and how many thousands and thousands Of
