TALKS ON THRIFT.
(Ry T. o. MAcGREGOR).

From newsboy to president of a
corporation with an annual business of
81 ,000,0 600 in IA years, is the record OF
Max McGraw, now, at the age of 81
years, one of the leading business men
of the middle west and president of a
manufacturing company with offices in
Sioux City, Omaha and Los Angeles.
And Mr.. McGraw got his start by
saving money, having embarked in
business at II years of age with $500
which he saved from the earnings OF
a newspaper route" which he car
ried' for five years and a half
The route was seven miles and a
half long and young McGraw covered
it twice day on horseback, summer
and winter, all those years, and stud
led evenings.
Is il any wonder that such industry
and thrift have so early won success
Abiding to the fact that SO many
Greek immigrants here find employ
ment as bootblacks, newspaper wit
said: "The Greeks did not do very
well at the Olympic games, but they
shine in America"
The story of Gus Travillas of Chi
cago shows that grit and thrift are not
the exclusive possession of any one
nationality, and the Greeks can sue
coed here as well as persons of any
race in America, which is the melt
ing pot of many nationalities.
Ten years ago Gus was newsboy
on one of the busy street corners of
Chicago. He ea-'y became savings
depositor, and as his balance in the
bank grew, he kept his eyes open for
opportunities, and with the timely aid
and counsel of his banker he made
number of successful deals.
He now owns six nickel moving pic
ture theatres and other property. Any
time he wants it, he can borrow mon
ey at the bank on his note.
Colonel Mayo, the richest man in
Kentucky, died few weeks ago.
Twenty-Five years ago he was
struggling school teacher in eastern
Kentucky At As he had a fortune of
s2O,O0O,OO0 His fortune grew from
the meager earnings he saved from
his salary as a country school teacher.
In teaching in various districts Mayo
had gained an intimate knowledge of
the mountain country's mineral and
timber resources, and became ac-
quainted with those sections richest in
wealth.
He discovered that thousands of
acres were occupied by "squatters,
many of whom would give options for
SIS. Later he borrowed all the money
he could to put into these options.
When the development of the eastern
Kentucky coal fields began he was able
TO interest railroad officials and to
enlist capital to work his mines, and
was soon on the road to fortune.
Thrift always pays dividends.

Bravery of a Boy.

"One of the bravest acts l witnessed
during the whole war;" said an officer
of the army of northern Virginia, was
that of a young soldier who was prob
ably not over 16. We had thought OF
him as only a boy, although he went
with the regiment on all OF its marches
and lived with it in all its encamp-
ments.
"One day there was a fierce engage
ment. In the midst of it a bullet
struck this boy in the breast, and he
fell. Our colonel ordered his men to
dismount. and as he himself sprang
from his horse. the boy called out in a
weak voice. I will hold your horse,
