mol LACK OF OPPORTUNITY.

There is much talk nowadays OF lack
,f opportunity. Too mary people have
rome to accept as fact the allegation
that the rich and powerful have fore
closed mortgages on the gates OF op-
portunity and that lacking wealth or
powerful friends the young man start
ing for himself In life has small prom
Use of a successful career. This asser-
tion has been made so often and has
met with such general acceptance as to
have deterrent effect upon youthful
effort noticeable to and commented up
on by close observers.
Nothing can be further from the truth
than an assertion that the avenues to
success are closed to any classes OF
American manhood. On the contrary,
the opportunities for pre-eminenca
xrera never so numerous or the rewards
NJ successful effort so great as at pres :
emf. The world needs more and better
men today than it did yesterday. There
are a hundred openings for merit now
where one existed fifty years ago. The
demand for competency is overwhelm-
Ing: but there is no market for incorR-
petents. The candidate for success
must have special preparation, fitness.
fearlessness and desire to win. There
are no high places for the Ignorant or
the lazy.
The rich mans son is no lion in the
way of the poor young man who is de-
termined to win, unless the wealthy one
is competent and willing to work. If
he is all this, he succeeds to his fathers

What's in a Name?

Everything is in the name when 1t
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. q. G..
Dewitt & Co., of Chicago, discovered,
some years ago, how to make salve
from witch Hazel that is specific for
piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and
protruding piles, eczema, cuts. burns,
bruises and all skin diseases, DeWitt's
Salve has no equal. This has given
rise to numerous worthless counterfeits.

How dear to this heart are the old fash

When fond recollection presents them to
view!
In fancy 1 see the old wardrobe and

The old fashioned pocket. the obsolete

I'd find it the source of an exquisite

A gown with pocket. how fondly I'd
guard it!
Each day ere I'd don it I'd brush it

CHARACTER IN NEWSPAPERS.
[Thornton Enterprisel
The primary duty of newspaper

Its readers by presentation of full and
accurate news by honest and fearless
comment thereon. This duty, when
we'll and faithfully performed. wins the
confidence of the reading public and
is the measure OF the newspaper. FL

be swerved by fear or favor or selfish

circulation comes business prosperity.

Did you ever hear Of four runs be-
ing scored on missed third strike"
says McGraw. This is how it hap
pened: Some years ago there was a
catcher playing named Tug Arundel
Tug was a short, heavily built man and
as slow as New Orleans molasses.
Nevertheless, Tug thought ne was
faster than he got credit for being and
often challenged his tormenters to foot
races. in which he was always beaten
One day the opposing team had three
men on the bases. with twc out and a
man al bat who had beaten Tug in a
race. The batter had two strikes on
him. when Tug remarked.
You strike al the next one and III
drop it and catch you before you get
TO first
III so you said the batter He
nit al the ball and missed it Tug
dropped the sphere, picked it up. and
then went after his man. OF course.

Tug chased the four runs IN ahead Of
him, as he never did get near enough
