1t is such as he who today own and rule
the earth, and who tomorrow as these
pass away will take their places. Povi-
dence has so ordained, and we'll it is
that such is the unacceptable decree
They deserve to succeed. The world
would go i'll under the contrary rule.
This young man is not Glowing" his
money or dissipating his vital force in
riotous living or rowdyisan. He is saw
ing his earnings, small tho they may
seem as yet. He is not afraid to nut
on overalls and roughen his hands with
labor. Labor does not seem hard to
him. He has something to work for.
Work? Lord bless you, boys, work
is what YOU need-honest, hard work.
1t won't hurt you. for it will keep You
out of mischief, and if you have the
right spirit, if YOU save your earnings,
if like this young man, you will quietly
go about 1T to get on, work will save
you. just as sure as fate.
But what we started out to saw is
that we would wager anything ON the
success of this young man, of whom
we happen accidentally to know, and
we may have other chapters of his
story to add before many years pass.

THE RIGHT KIND OF BOYS.
ida Grove Pioneer. I


The Ida Grove team did not win the
football game at Des Moines last week.
but they did win the respect and ad-
miration of all for the manner in which
they conducted themselves before and
after the game, and in the game it.
self they fought gamely to the last
ditch. When they lost they showed
they knew how TO lose and though the
pill of defeat was bitter they took it
gracefully and like men.
When the team reached Des Moines
they were taken to the Slavery Hotel
where Manager Hogan said: I'VE do
not ordinarily entertain high school
football teams, but with the Ida Grove
boys it is different and they will always
be welcome here for they have shown
themselves to be gentlemen always"
1t is worth something to be raising
and sending out into the world such
boys as this.
The afternoon OF the game Manager
Fred Buchanan of the Majestic Theater
said: They are certainly fine lot of
boys and they die game Bring them
all up to the Majestic tonight as my
guests" Last year Mr.. Buchanan enter
tanned the Ida Grove team at the Ma
jestic after they defeated West High.
and this year he entertained them when
they held the losers end.
1t is a glorious thing to win but win
or lose it is worth something TO be
raising and sending out into the world
boys who can conduct themselves in a
manner that always brings credit to
their families, to themselves and to
their town.

Among Mr.. Carnegie's innumerable

he must end 1t with a wet night at the

lay in wait on the road one evening
dressed in a white sheet.
When htT husband appeared s!.e rose
