if the young man is to succeed he
must do as other successful men have

story about Claus Spreckles:
John Deidrich %Spreckles, son of
Claus Spreckles, is the proprietor of
a San Francisco newspaper. To an
editor one day Mr.. Spreckles was
talking about persistence and in the
course of his remarks he said: "My

Persistence will do anything he said.
