Young j. G.. Witherspoon. son
of the boss, fought his own on the
road for two years actually earn
ING his living by selling goods.
One day while at Portland, Ore,
he received telegram telling him
to come home. that his father was
very sick. He found his father
stricken with paralysis and unable
even to return to his office work;
yet the old gentleman's mind was
as clear and active as ever.
One evening the father and son
sat together on the front porch of
their home. They were alone.
John. my boy" began the
father. I'm proud of your record.
You have made yourself so far all
that your mother and | have hop
eel for from YOU. Nowadays so
MANY sons of well-to-do parents
are no account. Yes, my son, we
are proud of you.
They tell me I'll never be back
at my post again, but | chuckle
every time they tell me this, be-
cause | know | will be, and for a
good many years to cOme-in you.
That's why we are so proud of you.
But let me tell you something:
You'll have to hustle to keep up
the speed your old dad did,"
YOUTH LEARNS WISDOM.
When young John was growing
up he had always sought to dodge
talk from the governor. But
after he had spent a few years of
running the point of his pillow into
live roots as he broke new ground
in business he began to learn that
the old gentleman could teach him
something. In time he hung upon
every chance he had to listen to
the business wisdom of his father.
Experience teaches. The bald
head knows more than the one
that still has fuzz clinging to its
temples. SO this evening the son
listened with eager ear to his
father.
YES. son, work will do more
toward putting you ahead than
anything else. When apples are
ripe a breeze may once in awhile
knock one off, but if you want to
fill your basket you must climb
the tree and shake the limb.
Not only must you work hard,
but you must keep on work
ing hard. Stay-with-it wins. You
can't split a sappy hickory log
with toy Ratchet at one stroke;
but if you keep on swinging a big
AK you'll lay her open.
you must have to put in a few
wedges. too, and maui on them.
And you'll find that one light lick
with maui on small wedge will
do more splitting than dozen

ing one day with a fellow named
Jim Hudson. The dog freed
squirrel. The squirrel was in
hollow. DO you suppose Jim cut
down that tree. No. He GOT a
few dry leaves; put them at the
bottom of the hollow: lit them
with match and smoked the
squirrel out.
INDUSTRY THAT WINS.
ITS all right to smoke out
squirrels, but if you must chop
tree, chop her. Jim was lazy
fellow and would have walked
seven miles for piece of punk
and a flint rather than chop down
that tree in half the time. Some
men depend upon an occasional
brilliant dash to keep them up:

Never slacken in your integ-

SOBRIETY AN ESSENTIAL.

Keep on keeping sober son.
The plans a man makes when IA
high-ball makes him pipe dream,
he does not often put into the shop
when the high-ball quits work.
You can get drunk on whims. too.
as easily aS you can on hi9h-ballS.
DO well the thing YOU have to do
instead of dreaming of something
else. You can't DIG potatoes and
pluck peaches at the same time.
Besides. an Irish potato will look
better to you than peach if you
have planted and plowed them
well yourself. The successful man
in the shoe business sees beauty in
an old shoe that has worn well. |
once heard man say: i GOT out
the prettiest raft of saw logs this
season | ever did knew he was
a successful man.
And when YOU get anything.
son, pray keep it. There's no
use Of being money bee one day
and a househy the next. Too
many people make money for
others to devour. A man who
works hard is entitled to first fill
his own combs. If he doesn't he
gin doing this when he is young
he will never have any honey for
others.
you now have good founda-
ton on which to build fortune
for yourself and to be an inhuen-
tial man in the world. The man

of good in the world. Not SO
