WORDS OF WISDOM
THAT ALL MAY KNOW
Should be Burned Into The
Hearts OF the Young

The young man who says he
cannot succeed in such country
as this. with all It's magnificent OPP
portunities, is the poorest kind OF a
stick. Why, there are men today
who, when they see that a young
man has the right kind OF pluck,
are willing to advance him money
to build up his business and give
him a start. These are the young
men, however, who stick, dig and
save. What others have done can
be performed today by our young
men. They are in great measure
the architects OF their own fortunes.
Upon themselves alone rests the
responsibility. They have It in
their power to either make or I'm
make, and every Young man should
earnestly and seriously ask himself
which it shall be.

The happiest man in the land to-
day is the successful farmer. He sits
under his own vine and fig tree, UNI
disturbed by the maddening noise Of
the great city. Banks fail. railroads
go into the hands of receivers, boom

his fingers at these things. He is the
monarch OF all he surveys on his
broad acres. And the honesty of his

Of these Indian nations will soon ex-

grim ferryman is beckoning the red
man across the dark river to the
councils Of his forefathers. The
handful Of Poncas with the show,

survivors Of the once powerful and

The children are prohibited by the
federal authorities from watching
the fantastic. savage evolutions, in
which the old Indians feign war, pre-
tending to attack and scalp their en-
emies and entering into the spirit
Of the stage battle as though it were
grimly real.
All the Indians are required to APP

which traverse the principal streets
on the morning Of the day Of the
exhibition. They form one of the
