COLLEGE AND SUCCESS.

Whether a college education is to
assist in attaining success depends
upon the man who acquires it. The
thing it will do for any man is to
develop his analytical power. He
will grasp an idea quicker and occa-
sionally make more out of it than
the man who has not gone through
the process of education. These
are the advantages.
world a man must have first of all,
hope, as hope is the spark Of life's
enterprise. He must be able to con-
centrate his mind and work on one
thing, and, last of all, must possess
sound common sense. Any of these
qualities cannot be got in school.
If man takes up correspondence
the school will teach him the form
and general rules of letter; but
the tact and common sense which
form the most important part must
come out of his thinking cells and
not out of his memory.
In learning any line of business
the college man will learn it faster.
but the alertness of mind to grasp
the hard problems which you must
have in order to make success OF
any business undertaking depends
upon yourself.

Gold Found in Town.

Douglas, Alaska.-Some excitement
was caused in Douglas recently by
the discovery of several small mug
gets and other colors in the sluce
boxes at the corner of Front and D
streets where the ground sluicing is
being done for the new threestory
hotel that will be erected there
After the discovery of the gold
was made at least a dozen men with
pans prospected the ground thor
ougly but only got colors. The men
who have the contract for the work
have put in rifles and it is thought
that when the final cleanup is made
they will make good money out of
the old boxes.
The ground that is being eXcavat-
ed is an historic spot and has the
distinction of being the center of the
only Indian uprising that ever &C.
