BOYS MAKING THEIR
OWN WAY.
VIM. A. RUSSELL, Editor

The most hopeful characteristic of
the American college is the self
supporting student.
The boys who have worked their
way through have not only conquer
ed the adverse conditions to which
they were born, but have also al
ways adorned all professions and
walks of life.
1t has been said that any boy in
this country who wants an educa-
tion may get it, if he wants it bad
enough. The truth of this is being
demonstrated now more clearly than
ever before.
There is Il common complaint that
the poor boys chances to get ahead
in the world are not what they used
to be. This is not borne out by the
facts in any department of life.
More than ever before, character
is the prime capital for success, and
never before were poor boys OPP
portunities for moulding his charac-
ter as he sees fit as good as they are
now.
There was time in the history OF
American colleges when the earning
of money by student during vaca-
ton to help pay his tuition bills was
SO exceptional proceeding as to eX-
cite remark, But there appears to
have been a great change. This is
the testimony of the college officials
themselves.
Many college students no doubt
carry on wage earning labor during
the college term. 1t is unfortunate
that this should have to be the case,
for no college course can be what it
ought to be when broken into by the
necessities of self-support, though it
is, of course, far better that student
should study under this disadvant-
age than that he should not be a
student at all.
Besides, it has its compensations.
What the wage-earning student loses
from the college course he makes up
in the practical application of his
talents to the real work of life. He
is better prepared, perhaps, to step
into his chosen occupation when
college days are over than is the fell
low student whose way has been
made easy and who knows nothing
of the difficulties to be encountered.
The boy who works for his educa-
ton learns what an education is for
and places it in its proper perspec-
tive in his view of life.
And in making for it he uncOn-
sciously builds up within himself
something of more value even than
education, and that is character.
No boy need despair because his
father is not rich enough to buy him
an education. If he wants it bad
enough he can get it, and by work
ing for it get something better still
along with it.

Wood at So a Pound.

French walnut is the finest wood
we have" said the cabinetmaker. at
comes from Persia, but it is prepared
in France. l have seen French walnut
worth So pound, and it is a common
thing to pay 50 a pound for 1t. OF
course it is used principally for veneer
ing. Only millionaires could have
chairs and tables of solid French wal
nut. Mahogany, wonderful as it is,
rarely fetches such high prices From
50 to So is very good price per pound
for this wood. Ebony, if it is a par
ticularly large piece, so that it will cut
well, will often bring So pound in the
wood market"

The Honorable William BAILEY la.

The Honorable William Bailey La
mar explains that there are three
classes of Congressman, whom he
divides as follows: Zone class is
composed of millionaires who don't
need the salary; another class is
composed of corporation attorneys
and agents who are not dependent
on their salaries tor their expendi-
lures in Washington, and a third
class is composed of those people
who could not earn as much salary
as this ia any other occupation"
Mr.. Lamar, however, insists that
none Of these reasons, though fairly
good ones, prompted him to vote
against the increase of congressional
salaries. 1t seems that Mr.. Lamar
feels that he is in a class by himself.

Chaldean Weapons.

The analysis of Berthelot not only
shows that the Chaldean weapons,
ornaments and tools of 5000 or 5000
years ago were of pure copper, but
that iron, silver and gold We're known.
The copper age preceded that Of
bronze, which appeared later in both
Egypt and Chaldea. 1t is further not
cd, moreover, that the form of hatchets
with handles, the process Of manufac-

the same for the pure copper hatchets
of Chaldea and the prehistoric hatchets
of Europe.

the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to 60 often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists i'll fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill
