TURNING BACK FOR WANT OF

ability to hold OF -. one of the rar-
est of human y'taes. There are
:,enty who will go Nth the crowd
and who will work hard as long as
they can hear the music, but when
the majority have dropped out, when
others have turned back and a man
feels himself alone fighting for a
principle, it takes very different
order of ability to persist. This re.
quires grit and stamina.
Look out for the period in your
life when you are tempted to turn
back! There is the danger point,
the decisive period All the great
things of history have been accom-
ia'ished after the great majority IF
mon would have turned back.
Nearly every invention which has
emancipated man from drudgery and
given him comfort and better facili-
ties, was made possible only b. the
man of superior grit and persistence.
Not one man in ten thousand would
have endured the suffering, the dep
of an Elias Howe to make the sew

owes nearly all it's great things to
those who have persisted when 9TH
ers have given up. Look out for a
man who persists, VINO keeps right
on when everybody else calls him
fool for not letting go.
1t is pitiable to see a young man
with robust health and good educa-
ton wavering when an obstacle con-
fronts him, doubling whether he
will go on or turn back. You may
gain a certain amount of success
without education, without culture,
and without brilliancy, but you can
not do much without stamina. stay
ing power and clear grit. Grit has
always been more than match for
any handicap. The great achievers
have ever substituted grit for good
opportunity or lack of early advan-
tages.
More young men have achieved
success in life, with grit as capital,
than with money capital to start
with. The whole history OF achieve
ment shows that grit has overcome
the direst poverty; it has been more
than a match for lifelong invalidism.

THE GREAT WESTERN RE-
FINERY

1t was our great pleasure to be
shown through the works of this big
institution, the first Of the week by
the genial and accommodating man
aeer. Mr.. Camron. We knew there
was an oil refinery at Erie, but had
but little. conception Of its magni
tude. 1t is surely big institup p3n
and is turning out a very large qYan-
tity of the various products ofcrude
OIL. When we think Of an oil re-
hnery we think Of coal oil and gaso-
line but these products are but t
small part of the business of the
complete refinery. The axle grease,
lubricating oils of various kinds and
fuel oils, and other similar products
form very great item il the pro
ducts.
1t is remarkable what pure white
clear oils can be produced from th'
| black filthy looking crude oil. Tht
refinery is now producing all th'
more important products except
the paraphine and they now are
erecting building to extract that.
All their departments are crowded
to the full capacity and they ar'
constantly adding to their capacity
by placing new appliances.
lust last week dealer from Iowa
left an order for 100 car loads o
coal oil and one carload Of a highly
refined gun oil the company is JUS

glad to see such institutions as tnes'

PROFIT IN 2-CENT FARES
IN MINNESOTA

Minneapolis, MINI, Aug. "a :
Returns of passengers revenues In
Minnesota for May and June, the
first two month in which the new
two cent fare law was in effect,
show an increase of one-sxth over
the average earnings for any two
months in 1906, except in the cases
of three roads-the 500, the Mimi
espolis & St. Louis and the Great
Western,
The State commission accepts
the figures furnished by the railways
as proving that the new law is not
confscatory, and on this showing
the State will rest its case as to the
two cent fare. Anidavits embody
ing the railroads figures have been
secured from attorneys for the
stockholders of the road who are
seeking an injlnction against the
operation Of the law.
AHiiavits were also filed as to the
commodity rate law, showing that il
IS not unreas.urcfe orronfsoatory
These arc more complicated but in
their summary show that the aver
age rate ton mile under the Law
was higher than the actual revenue
a ton a mile last year. Not onl!

lines these facts are deduced from
the companies own showing.
