'Stepping Stones to Success He
pointed out why there were so manv
who were not successful In life. The
vast number who go dows each year
TO drum kards graves and are sent to
insane asvlums show plainly one
reason. There were several things. he
said. which led 10 success. Among
them were proper habits. of caring for
the BODY which left il strong and able
to do its work. the ambition to do and
be something, the finding of each ones
place in life. and prudence In manage
ment. He gave examples to illustrate
each. Gen. Grant for instance was
unsuccessful as a business man but one
of the greatest generals the world has
ever seen. He spoke of mems duty to
his home and to his fellow beings,

Appearance. Mr.. Oviatt brought out

he urged that farmers should keep
their farms up to a high standard.

taking care of broken tools and so on.
The lack of good appearance he
thought was one reason why so many
of the farmers children stayed in the

urged that we make our personal APP
peraance bright and cheeful ny think

AND TOBACCO.

Gladstone held that tobacco smoke
and women should never be associated
and was q firm believer in the doctrine
Of that famous beau, the Marquis of
Londonderry, who said that no man
should talk to a woman within four
hours of the time he had finished his
cigar. This is said to be one reason
why Gladstone hated the custom of
smoking after dinner, although it is
thought that his own great dislike for
the smell of tobacco may have had
something to do with it.
