Opportunity is everywhere. Man

some men achieve less than others.
This, for the reason that they are con-.
tent to produce q minimum. The man
who is dissatisfied with 1t, will strive
for, and obtain more. The harder he
works, the greater his reward, but be.
fore reward there must be the demon
stration Of not only the capacity to
perform more and better work. but
ability to continue to do 80.

He has prospered greatly, you say.

impossible for a man to accumulate
q million dollars without directly, or
indirectly, aiding somebody else to do
the same thing. The average man
who settled along the lines OF the
Hill railways at the outset was poor
many Of them came on Mr.. Hills
advice, and among them there are
many men whose wealth may be
counted in the millions. and many

Hill made millions, but the aggre'

look small indeed. by comparison.
And Hill was, when he started an
average man.
He possessed less than most men.
and was handicapped to a greater de
