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 5000, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil but
to-day, there is scarcely drop of oil
consumed in 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, a 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. It was not 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-men7 Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are essentials in the foundation on which
to build a successful career, and yet 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 a 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, 1908 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia, Pa, are DESTROYS

possess a copy of Keys to Success"

Killed All the sardines.

Preparations for killing men have
killed the sardines on the French
coast, so the fishers are threatened
with starvation. The destruction of
these valuable food fish is attributed
to the submarine explosions during
the French naval maneuvers last Sep
tember. These explosions were on an
extensive scale, and it is well known
that shock comparatively slight will
rupture the air bladder of fish and
destroy them. In all probability the
submarine engines will never be used
to kill men. But the killing of fish
has been sufficiently costly to warn
all governments to have a care. If
care is not observed the waters of
the globe may become fishless, espe-
cially on the coasts of highly-civilized
nations.-Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
