may become the wife of the President
and the mother of Senators. 1t is the
only country where all earthly honors
are within the reach of every citizen
and where it depends upon the individu-
al himself whether he will be Senator
or street-sweeper, a railroad president
or railroad section hand, millionaire
or pauper, general or policeman,
banker or bankrupt.

CAD about, roll on sofas, gossip and read
story books, but she prefers to be of
some account in the world and goes out
as stenographer, teacher, saleslady or
housekeeper, bravely makes her own
way. Such are the salt of the earth
and of such is the kingdom of heaven.
