A Father Writes to His Son.

An exchange tells of hard-worked
farmer aud his wife whose ambition
was to see their soa acquire college
education, and thus escape the life
drudgery TIL 1t had been theirs. The
poor old farmer in his simplicity
didn't know that success in life must
be won with hard knocks. The farm
er's boy hoes corn for his start. He
works ground on shares while the
money slowly accumulates with which
he is to buy his own first patch. The
young doctor fights off starvation
while he waits for patients. The
young lawyer waits in his Office, shuns
his creditors and by the strictest econ
omy only makes both ends meet while
he waits for clients.
The sec nd year the 10y went in
for athletics, Joined all the clubs and
made increasing demands on his
father for money. Finally, after send
ing home for $40, made an immedi-
ate demand for $3.50 extra to buy a
hat and cane.
The father penned him this pointed
reply:
"my deer sun: send you herewith
$12 and fifty sents, if i kin sell the
other shote will remit you the rest
NV the twenty you call for in your last
letter. 1t ockurs to me my sun that

The boy who wants to do things
must not only be around when things
are happening, but he must make
things happen. And the only force
that will make things happen is
thought. The product Of thought is
ideas, and the market value OF a good
idea is fortune. Honest work is
worth good salary, but honest work
plus good ideas is worth an interest in
the business.
