their first eight months business.
Omaha. as yet. lacks facilities ior
handling grain; The matter OF prov.a'n 9
such facilities Is more a matter. OF men 10
manage than capital. Merchants are
born-not made. Finding born merchants
to manage the business. the capital VIII

A Magnificent Opportunity.
What a magnificent opportunity. IN my
dreams see the valley leading to South sen'l
towering their heads high above the sur
rounding hill tops. and ! hear the daily
turmoil between the bulls and the bears
in the grain pit.
1t is an inspiring dream. and there is
an uncomfortable something within me
which makes me feel that it must and
will be realized.
If | doubt or hesitate. the weird words
of Ingalls, poem. descriptive of Oppor-
tunity. are continually ringing in my ear,
urging me to effort. 1t says:
Master OF human destinies am 1.
Fame. love and fortune on my footsteps
wait,
Cities and fields 1 walk; 1 penetrate
Deserts and seas remote. and passing by
Howell and mart and palace.-soon or late
l knock unbidden once at every gate.
'If sleeping. wake.-if feasting. rise be-
fore
I turn away. 1t is the hour of fate.
And they who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire. and conquer every foe,
Save death: but those who doubt or hest
tate
Condemned to failure. perjury and woe.
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore.
I answer not and 1 return no more"
Gentlemen. Nebraska's opportunity is
knocking at the gate. 1t is Nebraska's
hour OF fate" If sleeping, wake; IL
feasting. rise before it turns away.
