]" HOW ID GET RICH"
 BY THOMAS TRAPPER

1 A news item stated recently that the officials of Western railway had I sent a letter to each of it's employees asking him to incorporate himself at capital equivalent to his earning capacity.
 A man earning $500 per year is worth to himself, his family and em. ployer about $1O,0OO on 5 per cent basis.
 Compare Dlan capitalized at $10,- 900 with a business building worth the same amount. The building is worth less every day of it's existence, and so much is written off it's value at the end of the year for depreciation. In a few years it must come down and give place to new structure. Now take the man who is worth $10,0OO as a worker, receiving 5 per cent of the amount annually tor $50O) in wages. Instead of being worth less every year he can, if he wishes it, be worth more. He can last longer than a $10,000 building. He does not need to depreciate in value.
 He can get to work with his head and his hands and so improve himself that his wages begin to rise. When he has made himself worth 5000 a year his capitalization has mounted to S20,000. And he does not need to stop lat this point if he desires to keep on.
 "The world" says philosopher. be longs to the energetic" No man has truly solved the problem of building a fortune who merely puts money in the bank. He must keep on getting more out of himself; more thought more plans, more work, more desire, more ambition.
 Don't Dream; Work and Think
 When we read that a savings bank deposit of seventeen cents day will amount to one thousand, eight hun dred and thirty-two dollars and eighty four cents in twenty years, at 4 per cent compound interest, we feel con, vinced that it is easy to get money together. But it is better form of fortune building to try to increase ones self at the same rate.
 This cannot be done by building air castles. Wishing is the dream of the idle. Working and thinking are the power of the industrious.
 The only way to increase your cap italized value is by thinking about it You must contract the study habit. Study your chances and improve all of them.
 Every hour you loaf, when you do not need to, is so much less mental and financial fortune.
 The greatest tragedy of the day day is not the bad man or the bad woman. They have always been. and probably always will be. It is the half-trained men and women; the per- sons who can do nothing well enough | to make the work valuable service.
 But Sthe moment one can do any thing up to the top notch then the 1 service is worth something, and people l are willing to pay for it.
 The secret. of fortune building is | not to give the thOughts wholly to | A man who is everlastingly | irving to improve himself will get a fortune, or as much fortune as he l wants.
 The Cry of the aIf-Trained
 The social disturbance that comes rom half-trained people grumbling because life is so hard is useless and detrimental.
 Don't wish. Get to work.
 Don't criticise others. Build up 
 Don't listen to the equal distribu- ion of wealth talk Go out and earn whatever share of wealth you want.
 But it does not come from wish ng. It comes from perspiration- rom the sweat of the brow.
 Don't love. the money. Love the and inspiration that let you earn money.
