Don't be ashamed of having to
work nor of the difficulty you find in
getting anything to do. The most
successful persons are not SO from
the beginning. Another thing not to
be ashamed of is the hmm bleness OF
whatever employment you take.
The secret of success is to know your
Limitations as we'll as your abilities
and nothing shows you this as clear
ly as working ut different things.
You may have to take thing which
you are conscious of not doing we'll,
but you can at least do your best,
and opportunity for something more
suitable will come in time.

arrived home Tuesday from Mather.
They left their ranch by team but up
on arriving at Richland Center both

unknown cause is a mystery. The
young men are of the opinion that the
animals were poisoned by some mis-
creant and are in favor of institutin g
an investigation, They continued
their journey to Fennimore by rail,
