The majority of our young friends of
today are beginning at the wrong end.
Instead OF beginning at the bottom and
training themselves for the future, there

and steadily sticking to one issue, never
devlaiing from the one purpose and es

The most important thing obtained
while meeting with financial success, is
an established record, which is worth
far more than wealth. A young man
with a record is sought for everywhere.
There is ALWAYS plenty of room at the

appeared quite SO beautiful. Every tree
and bush of the flowery kind never
seemed under such weight of BIOS
SONS before. nor the air SO freIghted
with sweet perfume. There have been
no storms to rutfle a bloom or scar a
leaf, and all nature does seem to unfold
itself wilh unusual perfection, and de-
spite all of the dark shadows that crowd
themselves into our lives here, as we
look abroad, we cannot refrain from ex

counterpart to the world where the flow

conception. and where the glowing light

The woman who keeps the simplicity
