A Word to Boys.

Young man, there is one thing you
cannot do. You cannot make a sue
cess in life unless you work. Better
men than you have tried and failed
You cannot loaf around the streets,
smoke cigarettes, tell foul stories, drink
whiskey, and sponge on some one else
without making failure in life You
must learn a trade or set into some
honest business. If you don't you will
be chronic loafer, despised by all,
producing nothing, simply making
yourself burden on your parents or
the State. There is no place in the
world for loaferS. The ripe fruit is
all at the top of the tree. You must
climb to get it. If you wait for it to
fall at your feet you will never get it.
Smarter men will jump up and get it
all. Move. Do something, 10 matter
how small. 1t will be starter. Help
yourself and others will help you.
There IS no royal road to success.
Toll, grit and endurance; these are
the requisites. Wake up and see what
you can do.
