OPPORTUNITY.
Superintendent's Address Before Boys
Farm Encampment.
BY H. G. Russell. Kansas.

America is but another name
for opportunity. France has
eight persons to our one per
square mile; Europe has nearly
four to our one. The United
States has IL per cent better land
than Europe. Haven't you better
opportunities than the boys of
France and Europe? Our danger
is that of becoming extravagant,
OF failing to learn the lessons of
systematic saving and certain
economy so necessary tor the
European boy to learn and prac.
tice.
1t is SAID that opportunity
knocks once at the door of every
man and that the one who was
out knocks ever aiterward. The
first part of the statement is not
true unless you make the "once"
read 'all the time" Opportuni-
ty is with you all the time. Great
corporations are constantly look.
ing for men of brains and char.
acter, men who can do something
that is needed IN the worlds
work. Learn to do something
that is useful and do it well anu
your fortune is made if you Will
keep at it.
This is an age of doing. Be
a BILE to "deliver the goods" and
you will he wanted. The test is
dong. Learn how to think and
you will soon know what to think.
A man is of little value until he
can take care of himself. Learn
to take care of yourself and help
others to the same high stand
ard.
An honorable calling is any cal.
ling that makes a man stronger
for the worlds work, anything
that needs to be done for the ad.
vancement of our civilization. Do
not all try to get into professions.
Do not let your parents kill them
selves trying to make and save
for you. Make and save for your.
selves.
Every one can work at wages
that will enable him TO live and
save something, but the greater
demand is near the top. The
builder of railroad showed me
three vacant chairs IN his Office
and told me he would pay 81,
per year to persons who could
ill them and do the work. They
had been vacant for three months.
He also said that he had advertis-
ed for common laborers and got
a tram load.
watched with great interest
the building Of a church in lit.
tie city. The workmen who ex-
cavated the earth received $1.50
per dav. The stonemasous who
followed received $4 per day, the
brickmasons Sc, the man who
did the frescolng $l5 per day and
the architect $25 per day. The
man who put on the finishing
touches of beauty and the man
who carried that building IN his
head before a stroke was made
toward it's erection received the
highest prices for their services.
The man who will find a cure
for hog cholera will do the world
more good than the man who can
repeat Homer in the original.
The man who can destroy the
chinch bug Is worth more than
the man who can exhume Troy
or uncover a Pompen. Direct
your talents along lines that you
lit and add something to the sum
total of human knowledge. Give
more than you receive. 1t won't
hurt you, but will help instead.

greatly to the selling value of Billy's

JUDGE TAFT GOES FISHING
MADE AN EARLY START AND
HOPES FOR THE BEST.
He May Stay at Middle Bass Until
September 8 to Avoid Travel

MIDDLE BASS. Ohio, August 81
Judge Taft went fishing today. The
start was made from Middle Bass Island
at o'clock this morning. His compan-
ions were Ed Miller Of Columbus. Ed
Marsh Of Sandusky, w. c. Beckwith Of
Fostoria. Gen. II. c. Corbin and Charles

to Rattlesnake reefs. of Rattlesnake
Island. a point some two or three miles
distant. They f1shed from rowboats,
which were towed out by the Faustina
and manned by expert oarsmen.
II the party should be unsuccessful at
Rattlesnake Island they will proceed to
the fishing grounds of Ballast Island. a
mile or two distant.
Judge Taft attended a musical soiree
at the clubhouse last evening. After the
concert Col Charles T. Lewis Of Toledo,
president of the Middle Bass Club. which
is entertaining Judge Taft and party,
introduced Judge and Mrs. Taft to the
guests In a little speech, and all the So

persistence Of the race and with it's
growth of numbers and power and infiu-
ence the world over. in spite Of the bur-

has labored. In the Irish face the smiles
and tears chase each other fast
