An Old attendant of Emperor William
l. of Germany had quaint stories to tell
of his royal master. One Of them
was thus set forth to an English gem
tIeman who had been admitted to the
emperor's private apartments. The
visitor was looking with perhaps
pardonable curiosity. at the combs.
brushes and shaving apparatus laid out
on the dressing table. when the old at
tcndant told this story:
"One morning q great lady asked to
see the rooms II was quite early. and
his majesty had Just gone into his
study, The lady had permission, and
oneof his ma !csty's aides-de-camp came
with her to give orders that everything
should be shown her.
Il brought her in here. and she look
ct at his maiesty's toilet things, just
as you are looking at them now.
had been combing my masters hair,
and had not had time to set everything
TO rights, so there were still few
hairs left between the teeth of the
comb. Before l could put out my hand
to stop her. she had snatched up the
comb, disengaged the stray hairs from
it, and hidden them away In the bosom
of her dress. And she princess, to-!
'Highness,' said l, that won't do!
Nobody must take my kings hair
without my permission But the
aide-de-camp said:
His majesty will be tlattered'
49," the attendant remarked what
could l do? And when l told his
majesty he only laughed"

the Company's service. Again, - the
young man who came TO this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil: but
to-day, there is scarcely q drop of oil
consumed Ill this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years
ago. 1t was not a wealthy parent nor an
influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.
What Is the secret of their SUGGEST
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fellow-menf Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, aud determination
are essentials in the foundation on which
to build successful career, and vet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success.
Those who have studied the lives of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed certain force of character
the power to mould the opinions and
direct the actions of others. John d.
Rockefeller has often said that he at
tributes his success largely to his ability
to influence and control the minds of
men. How to acquire that power Is told
by Mr.. Edward Box in his Lecture, keys
to Success, the most inspiring address to
young men ever heard from an American
platform. Mr.. Box does not preach
theory; he gives good, sound, practical
advice. He tells young men just how
they can develop those qualities indis-
pensable to success, and win both money
and power. Every word is suggestive
and inspiring.
The Publishers of this Lecture, John
d. Morris and Company, 1903 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia, Pa, are DESTROYS
that every ambitious young man should
possess a copy of "Keys to Success"
and they will send, complimentary, a
complete copy of this Address to every
reader who will write for it, mentioning
this paper and enclosing six cents TO
