HE DIED POOR.
By EDWIN A. ME
Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. N-s.

We want to hear less of the man who Began poor and amassed wealth and more 'N the man who lived unsuilied and died eoor.-A Modern Writer.
 The words are litly spoken.
 Therefore this brief sketch of a man who lived upright and died poor.
 He was just an average man of clean Nfe. fair abilities, industrious and hon est. He worked hard. was economical and seldom complained. He did not want to get rich quick. He only ask sa living. worthily earned. roof tree and d bit of garden, bread and butter for wife and babies, an occa- sional holiday and few luxuries
 This man was not close listed. He had generous impulses. Out of his snd to help his fellows. He wore a 5rniling face. He was good neigh hor. He paid his debts. He loved his wife and children. He spent his even- 1ngs at home. He envied no man.
 Tn all his life this man never earned more than $l,0oO in a single year But ne saved enough to buy a little home He kept his boy and girl in the high school until they were graduated And. besides. there were a few dollars in the bank for rainy day.
 This man laughed often and loved nuch His joys and sorrows were the joys and sorrows of the common lot Men said of him. living. Hes all right" When he died they said. He was fine man and a good citizen"
 That's all.
 Excepting this: The life of this man, whose short and simple annals we have told. is a typical life. It is the ife of the average good citizen.
 And it is easy to see why we do not hear very much about him.
 The newspapers and magazines are full of success stories concerning rich men because these men are the exception aud not the rule There is no story material in the career of the common man who lives decent life and dies poor.
 Nevertheless
 Such men are the salt of the earth.
 Let no man fancy he is a failure if ae has lived in all good conscience be- fore men and will die poor man. Be cause
 That kind of success which has been made by the use of ignoble means is nothing more than successful failure And by such methods many rich men have made their money

The winter term OF the seminary which
closed March 10. has been one OF unusual
interest and progress. The attendance
has been the largest for several years, but
more pleasing Is the fact that in applica-
ton to study, in development OF those
desirable qualities OF conduct embraced
in the phrase ''school spirit", in loyalty
to high ideals, and in deep and genuine
religious awakening which has touched
nearly all the students resident Oh the
hill. this term win pass into history Is one
Of the most successful.
That there is increasing favor with the
public is indicated by the letters OF in
quiry which are coming in from far and
near. The trustees are awake to the needs
Of the hour, and are perfecting plans for
large forward movement.
During the past term there have been
several visitors OF known ability and
reputation, who have remained in the
school long enough to feel the force OF its
inner life, to appreciate the real signifi-
canoe Of the social side OF q boarding
school, where teachers and students live
together in a mutual effort to realize q
high ideal OF home life. They have not
hesitated to express hearty approval and
high praise for the social and religious
Influences which pervade the school, and
surprise at the ease and freedom with
which the students enter into social and
literary occasions.
The spring term will open March 81, to
continue twelve weeks. Quite . number
OF new students are to enter the boarding
department and others as day students.
