! COfne OF MI NanSnelus trlen0s, with
out his knowledge. had compiled a His
tory OF My Past Life" written by tn
author" which was In the shape OF
book or pamphlet. the pictures in tn
same showing Fred In the various stage
OF his life. from the cradle until he wa:
being led away with a matrimonial rop,
about his neck by Master Cupid. The tex
OF the life history is as follows;
Born at an early period OF my life m,
first impulses were mostly connected with
eating. drinking and sleeping then de
manded and got the best. When three
days OF age I reasoned 10 myself thusly
IL my every thought tends toward eating
drinking and sleeping, everybody else In
the world must have similar thoughts.
THE pea was green,
And the shell was green,
| Therefore, he thought.
The whole world must be green"
/ then and there resolved to grow UP
and get rich catering to the wants OF the
| people. creating wants where none pre-
viously existed. And the conclusions
reached even at that early age have been
brought TO such complete fruition that /
am convinced that age while necessary
to bring wine and whiskey TO a high de-
gree OF excellence. is absolutely not re-
quired by the human family.
Wisdom -auoth the sage,
Comes with old age.
Fool. said the goose.
Then 'tis no use"
Beginning In small way by selling
sugared water, sweet fern and hayseed
cigarettes. at 80 many nails each, ex-
changing same at the junk store for pen
nies, I acquired the knowledge of hand
ling people. giving the least and charging
the most possible.
All, the happy days of boyhood7
No thought save business: no cupid
jabbing with his pointed dart7
And yet, and yet, was happier then?
Rain or sunshine, all day long
A little bird sings in my heart
And the cadence OF his song
Does not falter nor depart"
BY lavishly working the glad hand and
training my features to express a peren-
NAL smile I surrounded myself with CO.
terie OF friends whose only thoughts were
how far down in their jeans they could go
for my benefit.
IT must be a great consolation for some
OF them to know that. while apparently
enjoying by Bachelor Dinner. at my ex.
pense, In reality they simply had a sec
ond whack at some OF theiS own.
Cast your bread upon the waters and
IL Will return after many days"
In conclusion wish to say that. IL
you want to be successful, do as / have
done. Find out early I'm life what you can
do best, and then hammer away until re-
suits are achieved. Who knows but that
II you are persistent enough you may
some day attain a measure of the great
success which has crowned my life.
IL near the goal!
i near the goal!
I've no more dread OF ills harassing,
I'm In the way of wealth amassing
Beyond control
] near the goal!
/ near the goali'
The merry party broke up about the
time the sun begins to peep over the
eastern hills. each guest present wishing
again the host the best of good luck and
a continuation OF the success that has
already met his efforts.
