Springing up as it has. in so short a time, and now assuming g1gan- for men as builders, chauffeurs and re- pair men. The position as chauffeur should especially appeal to this class of men as it is not only very fascin- ating. but highly remunerative. Two of the essential requirements Tor a man who intends to enter this busl- ness are character and reliability. The chauffeur's position is one of great re- sponsibility. Owners, to-day, not only require that their drivers have good working knowledge of the mechanical construction of their cars; they de- mand that they have reputation as to character that will bear the closest in yestigation. It is men of this stamp that secure the best positions, and the hiehest pay To meet this fast grow &g demand a number of automobile schools have been started in different parts of the country which enable man to fit himself for the business in from six to eight weeks, at a compar- atively small cost, and as there are ev- ening classes he can learn the business without interfering with his regular work. Perhaps the best known of these schools is the New England Auto School which conducts number or schools around New England and with it's system of practical instruction and modern equipment has taught and placed in positions many ambitious men who were not satisfied to stay in the same old rut. The local branch is located at No. 615 State St., Bridge port, Conn.

Very Lucky.

The following is genuine essay by \ ten-year-old boy:
 My life has been very lucky one. When l was three years old fell downstairs and cut my head. When I was five years old I was looking at some hens. and a dog bit my leg. When was eight I went with my brother in the trap, and the horse fell and threw us out of the trap; my brother lit on his feet, and lit on the horses back. Last year I was play ing. and l ran into a surrey and cut my eyebrow, and it has left mark. One day l went into the slaughter house, and big sheep ran after me and knocked me down. I have had happy life"
 This cheerful acceptance of what are usually regarded as the ills of life rs-
