HOW TO BUILD A FORTUNE

No. 7.---Taxes

fewer of them in the streets"
This is paying taxes on vanity.
Many a man at Ten Thousand
Dollars year is farther behind in
the game than the economical la
borer who puts a dollar or two a
week aside from his wages. An
unwise man, with a love for dis
play, can be awfully foolish on Ten
Thousand Dollars a year. and a
man on Fifteen Dollars a week can
be very wise. 1t all depends on
whether self government has been
set up and the man knows bow he
stands every night.

this rule you can net remain poor,

suit Of that is that you will get on
better in life, for the mind is the
motive power.
Don't believe in influence. in pull,
in better days to come unless you
make them come. Be your own
banker and account for all that
comes and goes. A man earning
Ten Dollars week. or Five Hun
dred and Twenty Dollars a year,
is an investment representing
per cent on Ten Thousand Four
Hundred Dollars. That is, if he
should die his family would need
this sum to keep on as they had
been going.
This shows how necessary it is
for a ten dollar-a-week man to be
banker, and keep joint accounts
with present and future.

Il p Seryiss)
SINCE Sirius crossed the Milky Way
~ Full sixty thousand years have gone,
Yet hour by hour, and day by day,
This tlreless star speeds on and on.
Methinks he must be moved to mirth
BY that droll tale of Genesis.
Which says creation had its birth
For such a puny world this.
To hear how One who fashioned all
Those solar systems, tiers on tiers.
Expressed in little Adams fall
The purpose of a million spheres.
And, witness of the endless plan
To splendid wrath he must be brought
BY pigmy creeds presumptuous man
Sends forth God s primeval thought.
Perchance from half hundred stars
He hears as many curious things:
From Venus, Jupiter and Mars,
And Saturn with the beauteous rings,
There may be students of the Cause
Who send their revelations out
And formulate their codes of laws
With heavens for faith and bells for doubt
On, planets old ere form or place
Was lent to earth. may dwell-who knows?-
A God-like and perfected race
That halls great Sirius as he goes
In zones that circle moon and SUM-
'Twixt world and world he may see souls
Whose span of earthly life is done.
Still journeying up to higher goals.
And on dead planets gray and cold
Grim spectral souls, that harbored hate
Life after life, he may behold
Descending to a darker fate
And on his grand, majestic course
He may have caught one glorious sight
Of that vast shining, central Source
From which proceeds all life. all light
Since Sirius crossed the Milky Way
Full sixty thousand years have gone.
No mortal man may bid him stay
No mortal man may speed him on
No mortal mind may comprehend
What is beyond, what was before:
To God be glory without end
Let man be humble and adore

learning to spell. and that they ear
md the whole art of how to get
there in the dictionary. 1 know
cooks who have cooked for 40 wears
without ever learning how to mako
bread, or boil potato properly. and
will still wonder why they are al
ways changing places.
| know dressmakers who admit
that they are bad filters, yet thev
go on running peoples cloth wear
after year, and complaining about
the fickleness of customers who
never come back.
These women know where tba;r
fault lies, but they are too law ana
too indolent to correct 1t. And
they are always poor and i'll paid
for there's just one kind of work
that commands high price in the
market, and that is first class v6rk
II you can do that you can vrits
your own price tag for it.
Why can one dressmaker get s7s
Tor making a gown while anotbar
can only get So?
because one woman turned out
sloppy work and the other tprrs
out a perfect Job.
Why can one cook command =
salary of $4,000 a year while an.
other can only get IS a week. Re-
cause one has raised the art ~
cookery to a science, and the other
never takes the trouble to learn
even the rudiments of 1t.
Willing To Pay.
Why can one stenographer com.
mand high salary while the town
Is overrun with girls who are al
ways advertising for a Job? Be-
cause busy men are willing to paw
for expert work that is ALWAYS
right, and nobody wants TO paw for
bungling, laundering work that il
full of llspelt words and erasures.
and that can never be depended
upon for accuracy.
1t pays to learn how to do things
well, little sister 1t pays to be on
the job. and if you know wherein
you fail to make good you've got
signboard pointing you to the WAYS
of success. Just correct your faults
and make OF your weakness your
strength.
Don't say you can't write, or you
can't small i
ures, or you can't cook, or you
can't sew, because you can II you
want to. Any girl with ordinary
intelligence and a particle OF back
bone in her body can make herself
an expert in any of these lines If
she will give it half the time and
trouble and serious thought that
she does to the way she combs her
hair.
Of course, girls are like boys,
they succeed best in the occupation
for which they have natural apti-
tude. In selecting ones lifewerk
1t is important to pick out some
thing for which one has a turn and
a liking, ana Whlcn one enjoys 40
ing, but having once made this Sc
lection, stick to it and learn to do
that thing supremely well.
That's the open sesame TO sue
cess. little sister. It's just doing
things we'll and whether it's learn
ing how to write legible hand, or
singing grand opera, it's up TO the
individual. If you have the deter
mination and the energy, and the
courage to work, and work, and
work until you conquer your diff
ficulty, and learn how to do that
particular thing just right, you
will succeed, Otherwise you will
be a failure. It's all up to you.

Why They Fail.

People who fail in life always lay
the blame on circumstances, or
fate, or the state of politics, or
heredity, or some other convenient
scapegoat. This let's them down
easy, and gives them a chance to
sniffle, and cry, and make a bid
for sympathy when they strike us
for loan. But the truth is that
we make our own luck, little sister,
and we are the architects of our
own misfortunes just as much as
we are Of our own fortunes. The
drunkard and the beggar on the
street are self-made men, just as
much as are Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr.. Carnegie
1t doesn't make a bit of differ
ence what we choose as a life work
If we do 1t well. Success or fall
ure in any line depends upon the
kind of handiwork that we turn
out, and this is something that wo-
men have yet to learn.
| know dozens Of girls who have
chosen stenography for a profess
sion, who blandly say, Il never could
learn to SPELL" and it never seems
to occur to them that their whole
future success depends upon their

" ON ETHlNG has already been
said about the value of small
sums of money saved regu-
larly. To cite one instance again;
Five cents a day amounts in ten
years, at four per cent compound
interest, to trifie over Two Hun
dred and Twenty Dollars.
But there is absolutely no way in
the world of making a man prefer
to have Two Hundred and Twenty
Dollars ten years from now, at the
cost OF 1--WE cents a day, as against
the remembrance of having swal-
lowed three thousand six hundred
and fifty glasses of beer The
choice OF this Is, you see, entirely
up to the man.
Some savings banks have tried to
encourage thrift by printing tables
that show the growth of money
regularly deposited and left at in
terest. Few of them, however. take
fact hard enough.
The principal fact is this:
When you deposit money at in
terest you must also deposit
Time. For Time is that which per-
mits interest to get moving. to
create a momentum, and finally to
work up a good total for you.
Any one can build fortune. ac-
cording to his status In life, II he
will begin early enough In life and
give time a chance. Even men of
40 and so can begin to save small
sums for a pension at 10, for there
are 80 or 20 years available for in
terest to do its work
Difficult at Forty.
But il is hard for man OF 40 or
so to accomplish this, and for this
reason:
1t Is difficult to establish a new
habit. that demands regularity. so
late in life But If a man OF so has
q job. and is in fair health and is
scared to death lest he be in want
at 10, he may be able to brace up
and give time a chance to work its
wonders for him on his nickels and
dimes.
Much Old age poverty and want
are due to waste in early years
We complain Of taxes. But the
Willingness with which we pay
taxes of our own assessment is
amazing. We pay willingly for
countless things we do not need
When want pinches. in later years,
we grumble at the times. at hard
luck, at never having had a chance.
And yet few OF us are such fools
as 10 believe the lying reasons we
give for our own poverty
Back of countless old people who
have nothing stretch years of i'm
providence. SO it is true. as one
writer says: Society suffers more
from the waste of money than from
the want OF money" To be we'll
to-do is the result of self denial
and daily economy. Self denial and
economy are common sense applied
to everybody's money transactions.

in his pocket can buy lot of
things he does not need. II he does

TdAVE received a letter from
young woman, who says:
Il am a working girl 1t is
absolutely necessary for me to earn
my own living. I have had several
good places since l left school, but
l have lost each one because nv
handwriting is so bad. What shall
do?"
Learn how to write, little sister.
Get you a copy book, and pen and
ink, and sit down at table and
never get up until you have mas
tered the art of chirography.
Spend hours, and days, and weeks,
II necessary, acquiring a plain and
legible handwriting. Eat pot
hooks; dream upward slants and
downward slants, and curves, and
curlecues. Give every particle of
intelligence you've got, put every
ounce of determination in you to
learning to write, and, my word
for it, you will soon have Jim the
Penman looking like carver of
LSy nleTOSIynlCS.
You're not going to sit down be-
fore an ink pot and pen, and give
up, are you? You're not going to
admit that you have so little in
telligence that you can't learn how
to write decently, are you? You
haven't so little ambition that you
are going to be a gutter the first
time you strike real difficulty in
life, are you? When we find out
what is our handicap in the race
for success there is just one thing
to be done, and that is to over
come that particular drawback
There's just one way to get on in
the working world, little sister, and
that is to do good work, and the
sooner you master the fact the bet
ter it will be for you. There are
plenty of good places for the COM
petent, but there's no room for the
clerk whose sales slips look like
chicken tracts, or the bookkeeper
whose ledger won't balance, or the
stenographer who can't spell.
Therefore it's up to you to decide
whether you are going to be one of
those invaluable employees who
climb up to situations of trust and
honor and profit, or whether you
become one of the shifting army of
incompetents who are always look
ing for a lob
