MARRY YOUNG AND GET A
HUSTLE ON, SAYS ROGERS

Don't be a pessmist. Believe in your
self and your country. We are entering
upon an era of development and pros
perity unparalleled in the history Of the
world. The young man who realizes this
fact~s the young man who will succeed,
said Henry II. Rogers TO a reporter in
Milwaukee the other day. and that paper
added:
Mr. ROBBERS is handsome man. Tall.
1.-THE. straight as an arrow. he towers far
above the crowd everywhere His face is
lean and clear cut, the strong protruding
jaw of the fighting man attracted atten-
tion TO him at once. But the severity of
his lower face is relieved by a twinkling,
merry blue eyes and a lofty benevolent
forehead
II have been hammered for years."
said Mr. Rogers. Every one taken a shot
Al Rogers at some time or other in his
life. OF course l don't like 1t. The man
doesn't live who doesn't covet the esteem
of his neighbors. But what can l do?
Nothing that | could say would stop the
torrents of abuse. so l say nothing.
This country Is all right. There are
lot OF fellows, Soreheads and incompe-
tents standing around the street corners
trying to fight nature. But they can't
keep this country back.
THE resources of this great land have
only been scratched. The next so years
will see wonders in the way OF develop
ment that even we do not dream OF.
That's why / say TO you young men,
don't be n pessimistc Get into the fight
and do mans part. There never were
so many opportunities as there today.
You hear heap OF fool talk about
there being no chances for young men
today That trusts have invaded ana
pre-empted every field OF endeavor. is the
cry on every hand. Nothing is farther
from the truth.
THE trusts, sso-called, have barely
touched the resources that lie waiting for
some one 10 develop. Better chances 20
years ago? Nonsense. Believe in yourself.
Have something definite TO do, and do IL.
That's all there is To success in life
II believe that man should have de-
cided his vocation I'm life and settled
down To IL In dead earnest by the time he
is S years OF age.
The great trouble with our boys is
that they don't like work. They like to sit
on a high stool, wear n high collar and
ogle the girls. The way to get along is TO
go 60 work
And by that I mean TO go TO work
with your hands No man ever learned
a business I'm the office.
what does the president OF a railroad
do with his SOM Does he get him Job
into office? Not much. The boy goes into
the shop and learns how TO do things
worth while. Then, after he has shown
that his hands will support his head. that
is. TO feed him, he Is given a chance to
show that his head can support his hands
And another thing: Get married.
There's nothing like a good wife TO make
a man hustle. Just look around you and
you'll find that nine out OF ten successful
men of affairs have married early In fifp.'
Asked why it was that men like him
self, Mr.. Rockefeller and other men OF
great wealth continued 10 take an active
part I'm business when they might he pass
ing their declining days In well-earned
ease, Mr. Rogers said that such activity
did not arise from desire for more money.
or even from a love OF the power which
great wealth gives"
