The Luck That Never Fails.

The individual who declares the
world owes me living Is at least
three-fourths correct In mis- assumption,
but there is little Joker hidden in the
One-fourth or such a matter which re-
mains unaccounted for. Little successes
are so easy In this country. especially
In prosperous sections, that the tempta-
tion is to accept what comes as herit-
age that will have no end This IL the
fools paradise" There is a vast diff
ference between merely getting the
living which the universe has In store
for every one and really earning that
living.
When farmers crops are in danger
Of going to waste and he calls in help
at Sl.50 or 81 day. very ordinary la
borers may earn the price In that deal.
They help recover Il prospective loss.
But these same men working the sea
son through might not earn for the
farmer the cost of their board. 1t is
not their fault They are worthy Of their
hire, but their venture hasn't turned
out well. This illustrates how one may
get a living and deserve it, too. but yet
not actually earn It,
When an applicant calls upon man
in commerce for employment the first
question usually IL. What are your
ideas as to compensation? The inter
view often ends with the would he em-
ployer saying, You cannot earn that
much here" II the applicant takes the
rebuff right. he will either modify his
expectations or else look for market
better suited TO his wares What he
must do Is to get his earning capacity,
whatever It may be, and the right op-
portunity in contact. Then he Is on
the road TO earning his living and can
say boldly that the world owes it TO
him.
Where the little joker works mischief
and often throws an honest fellow
down is in letting him think that be-
cause he is getting a living he il really
earning it and that prosperity has
come to stay. Place holding and salary
drawing 60 not necessarily mean pros
per1ty. The test Is in earning the sal.
ary by producing what the world
wants. Trusting to luck or to the
worlds generosity. which is the same
thing, is rs foolish a proposition to car
ry one through life as banking upon
the smiles Of a monarch or the promise
Of Il ward politician. 1t is true that
the worlds treasure chest opens to
golden keys only. yet each mans key
must be Of his own forging.
