THE POOR BOYS CHANGE.

An Atchison (Kan.1 man has collect
ed a list of a thousand successful men
of this country.
By successful men, he does not
mean mere money getters, but men
who have added to the worlds capital
of invention. education, art-men who
have Influenced the world for its bet
terment.
It is interesting to know how these
men started in life.
Three hundred began on the farm;
200 were messenger boys; 200 were
newsbeys; 100 worked in factories; 100
were printers; SO worked at railroad
ing.
And of this thousand successful men
how many do you suppose had wealthy
parents to give them start in bust
ness?
Just fifty.
Which is to say the son of rich
family has only fifty chances out of a
thousand-one in twenty-to succeed in
life.
And, what is more important
A poor boy has nine hundred and
fifty chances in a thousand ninety
five chances in hundred!
An eminent speaker was once called
to address the boys of a school, nearly
all of whom were rich mems sons. He
began his address by saying he felt
genuinely sorry for them. He said
they were handicapped in the race of
life because their bills were all paid
by their fathers. The young men were
astonished and rather resented the
speakers remarks.
But the speaker was right.
Rich mems sons do not discover the
use of steam or the turbine wheel or
the gas engine. Rich mems sons do not
blaze the way for civilization nor dis
cover the poles nor sit at the head of
great institutions of learning or sci
ence.
The success of the rich mans son is
the exception rather than the rule.
The reason?
| The boy who is always lifted over
the log viii never develop the muscle
needed to go over 1t alone.
Struggle develops strength.
The forceful boy is father to the IA
nous man.
And so If you are a poor mans soE
lrejoice in your heritagei Rejoice,
say, and be glad. If your parents have
given you a healthy body and clear
morals you can get the rest by going
after it.
| You have great advantage over IN,
rich mans boy.

TIE RASH TO TEE POLE.

Young man, you have read much
lately concerning "the dash to the
pole'' or the dashes to the pole.
There are some lessons in those he
roic journeys.
The dashes for the pole were not
made until everything was ready. And
preparation required a long look ahead.
The ships that took Peary and Cook
ND into the arctic circle had to be spe-
cially built In order to Withstand the
Ice and to provide food and provisions
and apparatus. The clothing must be
the warmest, the food Of proper kind
and the instruments for observation
adapted to northern ATTITUDES. Moth
ing was left to chance.
And when it came to the dash itself
the right sort of sledges and dogs and
portable shelters Of silk must be rFS-
vided.
The explorers had to photograph the
future, as 1t were. and provide for it.
And In the last stages Of the terrible
hike everything except the absolutely
necessary must DE left behind. 1t re
solved itself into test for the sur
vival OF the fittest, both men and dogs.
They stripped themselves as an ath-
lete strips himself for the final dash.
Well, every young man must find his
north pole!
What I mean Is every young man
has something in view that he wants
as badly as Cook and Peary wanted to
find the pole.
| And IL he gets what he wants he
must go after 1t, and intelligently.
Like Cook and Peary, If he is to sue
coed he must prepare a long way
ahead, else when it comes to the dash
he will have to turn back before he
igets to the ninetieth degree.
Health is the very first considera-
| ton. Other things being equal, the
man with the best physique will win
out. And good physique is not built
up by late hours and dissipation.
And the next important preparation
Is education of head and hand and
heart. A sharpened brain. a deft hand
land good morals are all needed IN
your search for the pole.
There is ice in the way, young man.
and wide seas and bitter winds. You
win eften lose your way, and you
must sometimes stop and take observa
lions TO know where you are.
And there are others trying to find
your pole--hosts of themi
Prepare yourself thoroughly. Take
plenty Of time Time lost In prepare
ton is gained In the outcome. And
when It comes to the dash strip your
self of All ifnpediments and
Get there first!
II you are properly equipped t

fellows viii drop back before the!

Much has been written about the

Let us quit holding up as examples

Physically he was much like Lincoln

there early by the vicissftudes of hun

| Ike Lincoln, he was ungainly and
walked with a sort of awkward sham

And there were In the story of the
boy johnson all the hardships and ser-

Here was a boy. whose father was
the town drunkard Deserted by the
husband, his mother took In washing,
and John went after these washings
and delivered them in his little red
wagon. AT thirteen years of age he
left school and went to work to help
support the family.
In these few sentences is condensed
a world of poverty and lack.
Nevertheless, at the age of fifteen he
made the mother sell her Washtubs.
and ut twenty -three he was the editor
and half owner of a leading weekly
newspaper.
Then this youthful editor, the sor
of Gustav and Caroline Johnson, Swed,

the esteem of the people. Hardship
and privation, disgrace and worry, ha6

And as he heard the cry Of his mate,

wrung the hands of the man nearest
him and hastily dropped down the
ships ladder.
The woman in the gray coat and
picture hat, with the two little daugh-
tiers whom the explorer father had not
seen for two years, could scarcely
wait.
The passengers on the Oscar looked
down on the tender reunion and cheer

appeared into the tiny cabin Of the
tug, and there the full greeting took
place between the husband who had
gone to the top of the world and the

A brooch made of lump Of coal Is

10 SUN MERELY
GOOD REPUBLICAN

Editor Advertiser:-We saw in your
paper of this morning published re-
port under the headline of, "Lo Sun
a Violent Man, which says that the
editorial Of Wednesdays Chez Vow
Shin Pc is an anarehistic article, and
that Editor Lo Sun is an anarchist.
According to our judgment and under
standing, we wish to say that the in
tention of that editorial is merely to
rouse the patriotic spirit of our coun-
trymen and preach them the principles
of democracy. Your translation Of
some of the expressions is not correct.
We think the translator must have
misunderstood it.
As to Editor Lo Sun, we can say
that he is republican, who wants
to make China republic, ruled by a
president, and not that the Chinese
Empire should be ruled by Chinese
Emperor as you said We hope you
will find a man who understands Chi
nese thoroughly to retranslate that
editorial so that it may be correctly
understood. We also hope that the
authorities viii investigate this matter
justly. Yours truly,
