The most mis- used word in tho Eng
ish language is the word "lucky." In
he sense that most persons use the
sord there is no such thing as luck.
'Luaky' strongly emphasizes the ele-
mcnt of chance, advantages that come
without direct planning or effort to
achieve The man who is left a large
fortune is lucky, no doubt, but the
man who starts from a small beginning
and builds up a vast fortune could
hardly. in Justice. be called lucky. Such
man is possessed Of ability, judgment
and wisdom.
II is human nature to attribute a
mans success TO luck, rather than to
concede that be has unusual mentality.
The man who takes advantage of oppor-

Eighty.seyen years ago the founda-
tion of the notable John Jacob Astor
fortune of more than eighty millions
was made. when the father Of the lately
deceased head OF that great house
bought a piece of land for $4,000. In

onc-tenth of his income and puts il
in a savings bank, he is iudiclous, but
the man who puts one-tenth of mis-
income into real estate will get back
two dollars for every dollar he in
vests. which amounts to a 100 per
cent. investment He is sensible.
Real estate is the best investment
for savings, large or small, More
money Is made in the rise OF real
estate values than in any other known
manner When you buy real estate
you make your money work while you
sleep. You get what your money
earns more easily than you get what
