these mon mean by success, and what
must a young man attain to be success
full? Can a man not be successful in
other lines than presidents of great cor
porations, renowned lawyers, D. DIS,
and journalists? Are there no successful
laborers, mechanics, and men of the
common people who have learned to do
something and do it we'll? Is there
no chance for young man to do good
work and be success both to himself
and the community in which he
lives, in a more modest walk of life
than those of which they speak? Does
success lie in dollars accumulated, does
it lie in fame attained because one has
outstripped his companions in certain
lines, or does it consist in deeds nobly
done, the conquest of evil, and the do
ing that which will enable those around
him to live better and happier lives than
they have ever known?-Peru (Neb.
Pointer.
j. Sterling Morton's CONSERVATIVE
for August Is, has an interesting sym
postum in reply to the question, "What
are the Young Mans Chances?" The
conclusion of the contributors, in which
the editor joins, is that ga young mans
opportunities in the business world were
never more numerous, attractive or con-
spicuous."
The CONSERVATIVE, however, warns
young men against the false notion that
success can be attained without hard
work, and especially does it warn them
against speculation, in which where few
succeed thousands fail. The successes
are blazoned to the world, the failures
are seldom heard Of; they are the
wrecks that strew the wayside to which
small heed is paid in the fierce compe-
tition of life.
1t is doubtless true that the combina-
tions in the industrial world have
brought many changes and wrought
hardships in many cases, but it is also a
fact that nearly all the captains of in
dustry are what are called self-made-
men who have won by their own efforts
and merits.
So The CONSERVATIVE predicts that
''the successful man of the future will
be he who has brains to begin with, and
who works honestly, industriously and
intelligently."
If Mr.. Morton had been so minded he
might have illustrated how the posses
sion of these qualities win success for
young men by citing the example of his
own SONS, who have won noteworthy
positions in different fields by their ca
pacity to 'grasp the skirts of circum-
stances"

Letter from Charleston Exposition People Far
from Satisfactory.

Colonel John Murphy, chairman of the
Exposition Committee of the Il ams3er of
Commerce, has at last received an answer
to his letter written ito the director-gen-
eral of the Charleston Exposition to
learn what spaces,couId be allowed to
Richmond for an exhibit at the exposi-
ton next month. This letter, says Col
onel Murphy, is unsa tisGactory, because it
leaves the committee just where it was,
with absolutely no definite knowledge or
data to use in inducing the Industries of
this city to exhibit.
When the question of a Richmond exhib-
it at Charleston came up a week or SO
ago and the committee appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce had decided to
make canvass of the city in behalf of
an exhibit which would do honor to Rich
mond and Virginia, questions as to space
Immediately arose, and the COMMITTEE
found it necessary to abandon canvassins
until something definite could be learned.
Colonel Murphy wrote for an immediate
answer and has just received it.
It is probable. that despite this disap-
pointment the committee will go ahead
and do as much work as can be done be-
tween now and the opening of the expo
sition. but all idea of a big display which
would attract particular attention to
Richmond has faded away practically,
owing to the short time left for the ar
rangement of such exhibits Meanwhile
