A routine news item recently record
ed the appointment OF Thomas E. Nc
Donnell to succeed the late Alonzo Wy
CANT as general superintendent OF the
fifth division of the United States Elk
press company. That Is, Mr.. Melon
nell has charge Of the company's large
business In and about Chicago and on
all the lines Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway. The fact Is also
noted that the man who has reached
this important and responsible post at
the age of 80 entered the same service
twenty years ago as wagon boy who
was paid few dollars week to carry
parcels In and out Of houses and stores
and run other little errands. He has
been promoted gradually to his present
place simply because he did his work
faithfully and well In every position.
The case Of Mr.. Mcdonnell Is cited SIM
ply as an illustration OF the folly OF
the assumption, somewhat general OF
late In psychological" treatises, that the
conditions of American life have some
how 80 changed that the boy who must
begin life at the bottom of the ladder
has not the "chance" he once had OF
material success There never was

them, who began at the very bottom and
have risen by their industry and hdeli-
ty to economic independence and con-
spicuous success. The "chance" OF the
poor boy is so large and numerous and
frequent that he does not need to look
for it as chance" at all. In every
line Of endeavor the "chance" Is look

munity who Is not compelled to spend
large share of his time in looking for
assistants, and whose days are not a
constant effort to find or make helpers
who can be relied on to do their work
with intelligence and fidelity. If this
were not so the conduct of any busi-
ness would be O mere pastime, nap
DIV dream, instead of the hard and con-
| tinuous work that it Is. Industry, fru-
gality, fidelity, zeal to understand what
is to be done, readiness to do 1t, pa
thence to wait the call to the larger
| task. cultivation of knowledge how to
deal rightly with emergencies, and cour'
age in dealing with them when they
arise-these are the qualities that give
the poor boy his chance" to-day as IL
| the past-these are the qualities tha'
win material success. And because the
tasks are larger and the wealth to DC

before, the poor boys chance was never
bigger than it is to-day. All he mas tC
