hands in Boston, and not until he
came back from England and
France with financial help was the
path open to his success. Both
of these excellent men, whose
lives are study for us all, had
the resources Of their brain and the
will-power to steadily press for
ward. They lacked the most
essential force to victory, namely
the assistance and help OF their
fellow men, but when that was
secured, triumph was complete.
God so created man as to make
the dependence of man upon his
fellow man fundamental fact.
! Every day of our lives we are in
a measure dependent upon others
for something that makes part
in our life; the something may be
so small as not to be percept-
ible to us, nevertheless we are
the recipient of it. It is not al
ways to our good, and may pos
sibly injure and defile us, but that
depends upon how we use and ap-
ply it-having knowledge of it
whether it will lift us forward or
turn us backward. Every man be-
comes dependent upon the activity
and acts of others. No man is en-
dowed with faculties enough to go
it alone in this life, a God unto
himself. No man can secure
wealth enough to render him
totally Independent of his fellows.
God so made Adam that Mother
Eve became necessity and a part
of his life.
Abraham Lincoln, while attend
ing to the sale of groceries in his
store down in that little dried-up
town on the river in southern
Illinois, was desperately hard up
for some money; he secured loan
from one who admired the hardy
rail-splitter and with that money
as a starter he never halted upon
the road to success and victory
until it became possible for his
name to live in the memory of a
nation as long as time shall en-
dure. Mr.. Lincoln is termed a
self-made man by John @. Alb
bolt, but in my estimation the
five hundred dollars advanced to
Mr.. Lincoln by his warm-hearted
friend in southern Illinois was a
very important factor in his
success.
We read of John A. Logan and
Garfield as self-made men. Logan
advanced to power as the idol of
the Grand Army of the Republic,
Garfield was the dark horse in the
nominating convention Of 1880.
It is doubtful if either of these
distinguished men would have
come to the front rank had it not
been for circumstances over which
they had no control. Both Of
them were blessed with wives Of
remarkable ability, who were con-
stantly pushing them forward into
the arena of public life-especially
is this so in regard to Mrs. Logan,
who not only became the mental
guide of her husband, but the
newer of his fame and power.
Many a prominent man in public
life today has been placed there
through the intellectual ability
and brainy work of an ambitious
wife. 1t is stated that many of
the United States senator's wives
are mentally more capable and
qualified to legislate for the good
of the country then the present
lawmakers. Lew Wallace startled
literary circles when he gave them
"Ben Hur,'' but there is a gifted
woman, profound thinker and
writor in Indiana who ia known

SELF-MADE MEN,.
Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle.

1t has become custom In the
'UnitedIStates as soon as prominent
man is dead, for his obituary no.
tice to appear in the public press,
loudly asserting his many good
qualities and claiming that he is
"a product Of those blessed oppor-
tunities presented to men
entering manhood, and that by
strict attention to his knitting, he
had become self-made man.
Never at any period Of the
worlds history has there been a
,self-made man. No man at any
time, in any age or in any country
on earth has made a success in
life, or reached the topmost rung
in the. ladder of fame, relying
solely on his own individual
efforts. He has either directly or
Indirectly received the help of his
fellow men at some point in the
struggle. I am fully aware Of the
fact that history is teeming with
fattering notices of self-made
men. Our prison library has upon
it's shelves the biography of many
an excellent character, claiming to
be a self-made product of this
glorious republic, but American
historians and biographers are by
no means to be always relied upon
in compiling records of facts.
Philip Armour of Chicago, who
passed into the valley of shadows
but recently, is a fair sample Of
what newspaper notices can do in
making a self-made man. No one
will dispute that Mr.. Armour was
"a successful man, no one will deny
that possibly he was good and
generous man, and that the world
has been the gamer from the fact
that he lived in it, but there are
several periods of his life when,
struggling to achieve success,
things looked mighty blue for the
Chicago packer, and had it not
been for the aid and assistance of
some staunch friends he would
mot have gathered wealth so readi-
1y. The moment that Mr.. Armour
accepted the aid, and applied it to
the pushing forward of his bust
ness projects, that moment pre-
vents him from being considered
a self-made man. I maintain that
AS soon as help is extended in the
hour of need, and is accepted for
the purpose of clearing away the
storms and clouds of a possible
failure, if it is made use of and it
answers the purpose, thereby
pushing forward and advancing
the interests of the recipient, then
at no time in the future, no matter
how successful he may become,
can he be termed a self-made
man.
Among the men that educators
hold up for the scholar and student
to study as self-made men are
Goodyear, the rubber inventor, and
Elias Howe, who gave the world
the sewing machine. Yet it is a
positive fact that each of these
men would have gone down to
oblivion and signal defeat had il
not been for the financial aid and
friendly counsel given at the dark
est period of their lives. Who
that has ever read the life OF
Goodyear is not struck with adj
miration at the persistent pluck
and untiring energy of the rubbe,
inventor? We read of the dark
clouds of financial despair that al
times took possession of him, and
sthen of the great faith and con-
didence he had in himself and his
invention. And who does not also
enjoy with keen relish, as he
reads on in this biography, how
