When a man is Ripe

We call this the age Of young
men. But THIS age is not peculiar
IN this respect. Every age has had
rs eminent young men. ThewoF.d
cannot overlook DAVID, Alexander
Napoleon, Byron.
Nor can the world forget that
brilliant careers have generally
been brief. Meteonc flights are
sbortlived. They may for the mo-
ment cause the steady old fixed stars
TO pale in comparison, but in the
long run 1t is the fixed stars that
give light to the benighted world.
Kipllng once said that no man Is

lip to that time, he explained, a
mans human sympathles are not
sufficiently developed, his control
OF himself and his grasp of affairs
are not sufficiently secure for him to
comprehend and portray the deeper
forces of life.
Brilliant books came from men
under 40. But the books that stay
with us, as a perpetual source of
inspiration and human sympathy,
are, nine tlmesout Of ten, written
by older men.
A Pittsburg fnsncies has just de-
olared that of the 500 richest men
in America not so made their for
tunes before 40. He sand that there
is an instructive feeling among f.
nanciers that the young man, how
ever, successful he may have proved,
and however brilliant his proposed
scheme may be, is not to be imphc
ity trusted.
His character is not fully made
up. There may at any moment de
yelop some fatal flaw. He is apt &c
fly to pieces. But the man who has
steadily pursued paths of success
until the 4Oth milestone has beer
passed has firm footing. He is
ripe man. OF HIM are required nc
references.
Statistics show that over 90 pei
cent of American business men fail
Most Of the failures are by young
men. A little success has caused
them TO overestimate their powers.
They grasp more than they car
