IlTSFITS.

There are few OF US when we
start out in life. seem to be in the
right place. The bright, ambi-
tious boys and girls, who are
eager for education and culture,
are so hampered by poverty and
environment, that few Of them
rise above mediocrity. Those
born with the proverbial golden
spoon in their mouths, are so
tempted to settle down in the en-
joyment of case and the good
things Fate deals out to them,
that they fall to make the strug-
gle necessary for the Develop
ment of mind and character.
The man Of generous impulses
and Sympathetic heart. who we
believe could be a benefactor to
his race, is almost always hamp-
cred by a lean purse, while the
grinding skinflint has money to
throw at the birds-but he doesn't
do it.
The woman who is eminently
fitted, and capable of bringing up
a goodly family of children in the
way IN which they should go, is
often a spinster, or hasn't a chick
or child to care for or train, while
the woman without the backbone
of a cotton string, or a grain of
capacity for management, has a
a house running over with young
sters.
1t is the inefficient who get the
soft, well paying jobs, and the
proficient who spend their lives in
hard work and get chips and
whetstones as payment, In fact,
a man or woman, who is really
