The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1902-05-23

A man who desires nowadays to feel
secure, like the house founded upon a
rock must be the rock himself He must
be able to feel that whatever turn events
may take, he is, at least to some extent,
independent, If only for a short time.
Prosperity engenders a large circle of
friends-adversity scatters the collec-
ton. True, there are exceptional cases
in which the friend in need comes along;
but the majority Of acquaintances can
not be depended on to extend help of a
tangible order. The man without a bank
account soon finds that out when slight
reverses come upon him. He has no nest
egg and therefore no self-confdence.
The man who lives his life with a view
to the future, who lays up for a rainy
day at least some little trife, the man
who is careful and thrifty, has no in
ward misgivlngs when clouds gather on
the horizon. He feels certain conf
dence in himself a sense Of security
which enables him to face his destiny,
whatever it may be. He runs no risk of
being suddenly reduced to penury; he
at least has time to look around if tickle
fortune should play fast and loose with
him.
Every man should save something,
however little, out of every dollar. The
man who can always keep even one cent
out of every dollar he earns Is learning
the lesson that alone can lead to perma-
nent success. The great men In history
have been the thrifty men, not those who
always had their salary mortgaged. TO
be economical does not mean to be close
fisted 1t is duty one owes to oneself.
And what a moral effect this has upon
a man! How it braces him up to con-
tinue the struggled And the very self
confidence that has been generated in him
by his sense Of independence proves his
best weapon for the fight. Independence
raises a man in his own estimation, and
we are generally esteemed by our neigh
bors at our own figure.
An old adage runs: "a boys best friend
is his mother" Well, mans best friend
is his bank account.
