A respondent citizen OF Chicago

his deplorable situation, and asking the
world in general if there is no relief.
He Is thirty years old, sober and IN
duStr1ous- He has an ordinary educa-
ton and good health and there isn't a
lazy bone in his body, yet he can make
no headway. He would like to be
married and have his own home. but
seems doomed to a life of poverty and
would not ask any woman to share his
lot. He has worked at dozen dilter-
ent occupations, and has always done
his best but has never been able to
get permanent job with prospects
of promotion. He says there are hun
dreds of men similarly situated. and
nobody will doubt his statement. IN
fortunates of that class can be found
anyWhere-and the remedy is IN their
own hands.
This Chicago individual who is too
poor at thirty years to get married Is

trades has more competition than any
other man, for the country IS fuu or
him.
A man at 80 is quite young and
should not despair. He should select
some trade in which he thinks ne
might excel, and then learn 1t the
right way, beginning as though ne
were boy. He will have to take
boys wages at first, but he is work
ing for the future. If he has the
right stuff in him he can mt himsef
for big wages in three or four years,
and then he is still a young man,
with all kinds of possibilities in sight.
1t is better to be able to do one thing
well than to do q dozen things indif-
ferently. There always is work Tor a
good plumber, a good painter. good
mason. or any other good workman,
but there is no demand for the man
who can do a little of everything.
man 80 years old should have
sense enough to realize this. and
should try to fit himself for profitable
employment, instead of writing de-
spairing letters to the newspapers
