plasted His Life.

The strong man buried his face In
his hands.
His powerful frame that had braved
the elements and the iceman trembled
like loose board on barn door.
A great sorrow had come into his
life unbidden as poor relation at
family dinner or small boy at the
side entrance of circus.
He was disappointed man. Money
had flowed into his lap like beer into
an alderman. His wife had retained
her beauty. His home was all that
man could wish whose wisher was mol
broken. He had stocks and bonds and
ten dogs, but now came great disap
pointment into his life.
His only son, his namesake, the boy
on whom he had builded his hopes and
on whom he had lavished his money
at barber shops and merry go rounds
had failed to make good.
Failed in his first undertaking. ana
now he stood with downcast eyes al
his fathers side.
His wife tried to comfort him by tell.
ing him that one Of the horses had
broken its leg and that the gas bill
was overdue, but he waved her aside
with q gesture that was almost bru'
tai.
His agony was pitiable.
He raised his head and looked at the
boy and then at crumpled bit Of pa
per in his hand.
His voice trembled.
"Oh, 1t Is terrible" he said. ut will
drive me mad. Here is our little Geor'
gle of whom we were SO proud. We
thought he was as bright as Other
boys. We even dared to hope that he
was brighter, but the illusion is over
He will never be great and famous
Eight years old and here is his first
composition on O horse in which he
does not say that 1t has four legs

their own resources. The last issue Of
Success illustrates this side of life in an
article upon the experiences of young
lady whose early training had been neg
lected, but who. at the age of twenty
three, by the bankruptcy aud death of
her father, was compelled to do some
thing for herself. The following is the
conversation that took place between the
young lady and the forewoman in charge
of the clerks in the subscription depart
ment of popular monthly magazine,
which had advertised for additional Of
flee workers:
What can you do?''
IL don't think | can do much of any
thing; was not brought up to do any
thing and never had to work. still ]

"Not very"
"Will YOU write me letter of appli-
cation, so that can get general idea

This girl is typical of hundreds of
girls, and young men, too, for that mat
ter, who are clamoring at the doors OF
business houses, wandering the streets,
foot sore and weary, in search of EN-
ployment that they cannot find. Is 1t
any wonder that such people fail in their
efforts? Is it surprising under the con-
di.ions that au advertisement for a
clerk at s. or 80 a week brings hun
dreds OF applications while one for a
| man OF NOlndtl dt SlO,uuo NCd' S"'i'

this country, even, which boasts of an
UNPARALLELED educational system and un.
rivaled opportunities for every boy and
girl living under the American flag
grayhaired men and women are fonnc
working in offices and factories side by
side with boys and girls for the SAINT
pittance. There are among them, Of
course, many that are the victims OF cir
cumstances, and not entirely responsible
for their positions but the majority are
where they are, simply because they
have neglected the opportunities that
were presented to them in youth. Gram
mar schools, High schools, Academies
Evening schools and Libraries offered t.
them their advantages, but they woul'
have none of them. Now they complain
that they were unlucky and that fate l.
against them and that others no better
or worthier than themselves, occupy the
better positions while they are at tn
foot of the ladder. The secret OF thel
failure lies in their own Incidence anc
neglected opportunities.
