Travelling Backward,
From Success.


one OF the saddest things in the history
or college graduates is that so MANY
cease to grow when they have received
their diplomas. On graduation day they
reach their mental high water mark. but
after that the tide gradually GIBBS. and 1t
never rises quite as high again. When
just from college, many of these graduates
impress one as men of great promise; but.
somehow or other. they remain pros
pectuses all their lives they never become
published volumes. They study law teach
while, or else perhaps. engage in bust
ness. but they do not hold on very long
anywhere or at anything. They seem to
lose their grip: and, instead of forging
ahead, they drift down stream
AS rule, a graduate who thus fails to
realize his promise thinks that. when he
receives his sheepskin, there is no need
for further mental exertion on his part.
He feels that he has won his laurels and
that he can afford to rest upon them. At
ter four years study in college, he believes
that he has covered the whole field Hav-
ing won a diploma he has no other goal in
view. PurpOSeleSS, without life plan or
definite line of work, he becomes the most
hopeless and pitiable of all human beings
a drifter. How can l overcome this feel
ing?" hundreds of young men are asking.
Begin to overcome it now! Do not allow 1t
to grow over you like moss on a deserted
building Try to abandon the thought that
your life is purposeless.

Will Start One There.
New York, Aug. 15.-It is reported
upon the best of authority in Wall
street circles today that the ultimate
determination TO resign the presidency
Of the United States Steel corporation
did not come to former President
SChwab of the corporation until he had
made up his mind to yield to the en-
treaties OF friends who had become con-
WINGED hat he was not being properly
treated by the powers that controlled
the and who were anxious
that he should take up II work TO a
olutiOn the problem Of organizing a
Canadian steel trust that should COM
pete in the markets Of the world for
the steel t'ade.
The Canadian field was a great hobby
of President SChwab, and it was he who
first started the movement to establish
a plant at Port Colburn, Ont, for the
trust. His plan Of making the com
pany purely a Canadian one, owned by
the steel corporation, was objected to
by a strong element In the directorate
who wanted the Port Colburn plant to
be simply q Canadian branch OF the
company.
over the question thus raised came a
division which, together with the en-
treaties OF friends, called forth the
resignation and the determination to
organize the present Canadian COM
panies into a great corporation out
side OF the steel trust and as q COM
petitor thereof. Immense Canadian
and American interests are said to be
behind the movement, which 1t Is ex-
pected Will be shortly as a
completed proposition.
