CHAPTER X.
The Silent Partner.

There are men who make a living
sometimes a very good one, through
the process of teaching others to do
what they themselves can not do You
can purchase for price in any of
many quarters printed maxims en-
bodying full formulae covering the Sc
cret of success; in each case from one
who has not succeeded. Nothing is
cheaper than maxims, in type. in
worsteds. or in transparencies. To be
in the fashion you should have GER
tain of these above your desk. ard
should incline your ear to those who
profess to teach what can not be
taught even by those most nearly fit
ted to teach.
John Rawn cared little for maxine.

to wit: that each man should hitch
his wagon to a star. No, he knew
something better. He hitched his to
a river.
Very naturally, John Rawn selected
the largest river he could find His
silent partner was none less than the
Father Of the Waters!
There is this to be said about a
river, that it is wholly tireless and
immeasurably powerful; that it enters
into no combinations against capital
and does it's work without unseemly
disturbances. Rawn was wise enough
to know these things. nor asked any
maXims to advise him therein. In his
