Man and the Opportunity. By Linehan.

! benefactor to his race and a
shining example to black and white
alike of what can be accomplished
by determination, perseverance
and the faculty of doing thorough
work.
When Booker Washington
swept the floor he swept it so we'll
that his services were Immediately
in demand. Rockefeller and Car
negie made it a rule to do what
they were called upon to do in the
most thorough manner. With
such faculty any boy of average
ability, strength and good princi-
piles can achieve success in life,
no matter how humble his be-
ginning.
The large corporations are often
alluded to as an obstacle in the
way of poor boys success now
adays; but as matter Of fact they
multiply the chances of his sue
cess. All the corporations require
a large number of competent
workers in various departments,
and they pay good wages for good
work. The avenues of promotion
for man who does his work as
Booker Washington swept the
floor are numerous, and the pro-
motion Of such a youth will un-
questionably be rapid.
Andrew Carnegie worked on
wages or salary for nearly twenty
years before he launched out in
business for himself. When the
opportunity came for him to be-
come an employer instead of an
employee, he was ready to grasp it.
[ will venture to say that there is
not a youth today who is willing
to work faithfully for Is or 20
years and who possesses good bust
ness ability, who will not in that
time find openings to strike out
for himself upon a successful bust
ness career

Paper Read Before the Chd,ttduquG Circle.
It is customary for the youth to
say that there is no such oppor-
tunity for boys now as when their
fathers were young. They listen
unmoved to the story of how John
u. Rockefeller began life without
a dollar; of how Andrew Carnegie
relates that of all the money he
ever had, that which gave him
most satisfaction was the first
S1.2O he earned for a weeks work
in a factory when he was II years
of age. He began his life working
for wage of 20 cents day, and
from that beginning without any
~extraneous help, he has worked
upward until he is probably the
richest man in this country next
to Rockefeller, and he is said to be
the richest man in the world.
But the boys say that that Was
all very we'll then, but now moth
ing can be saved froma low wage,
and that there are no opportunities
to invest the savings, such as there
used to be. In this they are
mistaken. Better wages can be
earned by a competent youth than
the boys Rockefeller and Carnegie
earned, and support is quite as
cheap to those who will practice
self-denial
Carnegie tells us that his first
investment, $500 in 10 shares Of
an express company, paid a divi-
dend of five dollars per month.
There are plenty of stocks now
which pay even greater dividends.
Another and, perhaps, more re-
markable instance of success from
poor beginnings is that of Booker
T. Washington, the eminent
,colored educator. He did not
have the advantage of sturdy an
cestry behind him which Rookie
Teller and Carnegie had. He

never knew who his father was
and his mother was slave on a
southern plantation. After eman-
cipation his mother and step
father tramped across the noun
tains into West Virginia and took
the young boy with them. Here
the lad, then under ten years of
age, worked by day in coal mine.
There were no free schools, but
the negroes dubbed together and
hired man of their own race who
had learned to read in Ohio, to
teach them. Booker Washington
this was name he selected for
himself, having no name by in
heritance-managed to take les
sons of this teacher in the even
ing; and after a while, being
seized with an ambition to attend
Gen. Armstrong; school at Hamp-
ton, he walked 800 miles, stopping
at Richmond to work for food and
sleeping under a sidewalk. When
he reached Hampton he was such
dirty and disreputable looking
object that the question of reject
ing him was seriously considered.
Finally a teacher-he relates this
story of himself in his autobiogra-
phy-gave him broom and told
him to sweep the school-room.
He knew then that his chance had
come. He swept the room three
times, found a cloth and busted it
until, when the teacher returned
and went over the floor and desks
with handkerchief, she failed to
find a speck Of dirt anywhere.
The boy was accepted as janitor,
and from that time his career has
been one of uninterrupted success,
although his progress was slow at
first. Mr.. Washington does not
figure as capitalist, but he has a
capital Of brains, character and
education which makes him a

Presently 1 heard him call again

perched on limb of a large jack
pine tree, and in the crutch of the
tree [ could see peeping between
the branches two bright eyes
which seemed to be lit up like
two balls of fire.

caused him much surprise.
He was fine fellow and [ hated
to take advantage of his position !;
but I had come a long ways after
him and did not intend to go back
without him, now that I had a
good opportunity of getting him.
Finding he could not make much

back of the shoulder blade. This
brought him down and, going up
close [ soon finished him with a
bullet.
After bleeding him [ dragged
him to the bank and left him lying
there while [ started to track my
self back. I had to do this in
order to get back, for [ was a
stranger to that part of the coun-
try. After getting past the under
brush my progress was very rapid.
I had now got back to where [
had first missed Joe, and thinking
that perhaps he had struck a fresh
trail 1 continued my journey to-
wards camp.
It was yet early in the evening

I would hunt little on the road

It was on the second day of our
Jhunt and along towards evening
when I missed my companion,
"a jolly, good-natured Canadian
Frenchman, who l called Joe. [
had been on fresh trail for over
two hours, and by the tracks I
Judged that I had some pretty big
game ahead, probably buck, and
he evidently was in no great hurry
ito get out of my way But there
was no telling how far he was
ahead of me. l was in hopes that
I could get a shot at him before
turning back; but as it was get
ting late I could not possibly fol-
low much longer, but I was bound
to continue my chase for little
while longer. AS l moved on very
cautiously, very careful not to
make a noise of any kind, 1 soon
came to a patch of very thick un-
'derbrush and just beyond there
was a lake lying at the bottom of
a very steep hill l saw by the
track that my game was not far
ahead Nearing the lake | saw
that the deer was going in north
western direction, skirting the
patch OF underbrush, so to gain
time on him l started in the oppo-
site direction with the object Of
heading him off.
1 had not gone far when heard
a slight noise, and as it came to
my ears so indistinctly could not
tell in what direction it came from.
Happily the wind was favorable
and so moved on very cautiously
until l could get a view of the
lake. When l did SO very pleas
ant sight met my eyes: there not
more than 6Uyards stood hand
some buck. He had gone down
the bank to the lake and was try
ing to cross the lake on the ice;
but he was making poor success,
as the ice was clear and slippery,
there being no snow on it.

It was quite late when we got
back to camp, but we we're both
happy over the results of the days

Bruin was brought to camp, but
