Miss the Easy Road.

Two young opponents Of the strenu-
GUS life on Broadway were sitting in 4
hotel lobby the other evening discuss
ing their plans for making some ''big
money in the future. One Of them
confessed that his salary was 'sonly
$45 week." and he was having a hard
time Of it in keeping the wolf from the
door. Sitting near them was an old
gentleman who overheard their CONVEX
sation and was evidently interested.
You fellows are making the mistake
of your lives" the old gentleman said
at last. you are chasing the will O.
the wisp while you have the means Of
wealth within your grasp. Why, I'm
considered pretty well off financially,
as you both know, and l never re-
ceived a salary Of $40 a week in my
life. But 1 saved money when I was
your age, and l found opportunities for
Investment that soon put me out Of the
salary class and made me a business
man on my own account The trouble
with young fellows nowadays is that
they can't see the opportunities that
are given them. They have their eyes
glued to the get-rich-quick idea so tight
~ that they pass by the only sure route
