Very many men attain wide rep

truth good fellows in every sense Of
the word, but 1t is q fact nevertheless,
that in numerous instances the desig-
nation applied to men whose only title
then eto is won at the cost of disquiet
and anxiety at home and among friends
and possibly of broken hearts and
ruined lives. Viewed from merely
the selfish standpoint young man
cannot afford to be known as q good
