Take Life Like a Man.

From Success Magazine.
1t is pitiabls thing to see young
man whining over his lot In life, and
excusing Indifference and inaction be-
cause of hard luck, or some cruel fate
which has put stumbling blocks In his
way.
No matter what your environment, or
what you may be called upon to go
through, face like a man, without whin-
ing Turn your face to the sun, your
back to the shadows, and look the world
in the face without wincing. Make the
the most of your situation. See the
beauties in 1t and not the ugly features
This is the way to improve an unfor-
tunate environment.

BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, July Especial. THE
average of stocks is unquestionably very
high but the tape readers agree unani-
mously that the taps says the market
will go still higher. Every reaction that
occurs is followed by prompt recovery
and there is constant repetition of punish
ment inflicted upon the bears 1t has been
long time since the bear contingent
has made dollar and kept it. 1t begins
to be a matter of wonderment where the
bears get the money that the bulls take
away from them. 1t is nevertheless
fact that there exists In the street very
well defined bearsh sentiment among pro-
fessional spectators, based on the theory
that price levels are artifcially high and
that as soon as there Is broad, general
use for surplus money great quantities
of stocks will be thrown upon the mar
ket and the prices undergo a general
and severe decline. From every hand
news comes of reviving industry and inn
proved business yet money continues
cheap and so far as can be seen there
has occurred no liquidation of securities
to amount to anything. Indeed quite the
contrary Sec1flS 10 De lIle case, lOl tllC
rank and file of commission houses say
that they are being baled out of securities
and that they are carrying less now than
at any time in weeks or months. Where
the stuff has gone Is mystery to most
people, The truth seems to be that there
has been going on steadily for year or
more incessant absorption by the general
public. More plainly every day is the
fact becoming realized that the country
was and is richer than anybody con-
ceived of. The panic cut heavily into
many individual fortunes but the great
Investment holdings of the people went
through the hard times undisturbed and
prices are now back to about their for
NAL level. In many instances standard
securities are higher than ever, notably
Steel preferred.

American Forefathers threw off the yoke of that

time for pleasure. So it has continued. Until
recent years we have lived under tyranny Of

than live to see his poverty gazetted,

selled and confided In. II Is the
beauty and glory of her nature that
IL instinctively grasps at and clings

Reason. mans greatest faculty will
take time TO hesitate before IL de-
cides; but woman's instinct never
hesitates In its decision, and is sci.

man thinks. acts where he deliber.
ates. hopes where he despairs, and
trlumphs where he falls.

Tim Patten the Wheat Gambler GrsaS'
Iy Surprised

Tho grain growers, following the
teachings of the society of equity are
holding their wheat for the price fx-
ed by the Fargo convention. So much
grain is being stored or stacked, that
the hoard of trade men are beginning
to take notice, in fact more than one
large grain house, has expressed as
Punishment that the farmers are
assuming control of their own Affairs.
The Market Record the Official pa
ner of the Chamber of Commerce OF
Minneapolis, in its issue OF Aug. III,
says, "The farmer has been educated
along the line of scientific marketing
and has had the influence of society
bent upon debating the price at which
the growers should dispose of his pro-
ducts"
Commenting on this phase OF the
market situation, Jim Patten the great
wheat gambler is quoted as saying
to a friend, 81 am certainly surprised
that the farmers are listening to what
this equity concern says, to think that
these wheat raisers should attempt
to market their own grain, is certain
Nv ridiculous. 1t can never be. This
talk of federal inspection is all hum
bug, / for one know tina. it will never
cone to pass the sane business men
have enough friends in Congress to
stop the thing. Such men as Senator
.McCumber of North Dakota, have been
altogether too active. listening to the
silly demands of a lot OF ignorant
farmers, he will be put to sleep when
he comes up for reelection, it will be
seen too that we have Z man from
North Dakota that will work II bar
nsny with the bu9asas iAfafesn q
