Self.Made Men

One of the most common excuses which young
make for not trying to improve their talents
is, that they are poor, and have no means of ac-
quiring an education, and no rich or influential
friends to assist them in life
Young man! you need no assistance 1t would
hinder rather than facilitate your progress If you
have the will and resolution which you ought to
possess, and that manly selfreliance which is in
dspensable to success to every department. of life,
you have all the assistance you need. With these
you may overcome every obstacle, and attain to en-
nence in any position which you may be called to

councils of the nation; and who are they that take
the lead in all it's controlling interests? They are
men who began the world with nothing, and have
made their own fortunes.
The rule is universal. 1t prevades our courts,

Things Worth Knowing and Remembering


Recently three leading men spoke at the mems
meeting in Cleveland on the subject: Things L
Wish 1 Had Known Before l Was Twenty one."
G. Leonard Fells, the first speaker, gave answers
sent in by twenty-t men, Here they are
Every word is worth reading:
What was going to do for living, what my
life work would be.
That my life after thirty depended in large
degree on what put into my stomach before was
twenty-one
How to take care of money.
The commercial asset of being neatly and
sensibly dressed.
That a mans habits are mighty hard to change
after he is twenty -one.
That harvest depends upon the seeds sown;
wheat produces wheat thistes bring forth thistles,
ragweeds spois good pastures, and wild oats sown
will surely produce all kinds of misery and un-
happiness.
That things worth while require time, patience
and work.
That you can't get something for nothing.
That the wcrld would give me just about what
deserved.
That by the sweat of my brow would l earn
my bread
That thorough education not only pays bet
ter wages than hard labor, but it brings the best
of everything else namely, more enjoyable work,
better food, more of the wholesome luxuries and
pleasures of fe better folks to live and deal WITH
and, best of ALL the genuine satisfaction that you
are somebody worthy of respect confidence, and
the priceless gift of friendship
That honestly is the best policy, not only in
dealing with my neighbors but also with myself
and God.
The value of absolute truthfulness in every
thing.
The folly of not taking older peoples advice.
That everything my mother wanted me to do
right.
That ''dad' wasn't an old foggy after ALL If
l had done as he wished me todo, would be much
better off physically, mentally, and morally.
What it really meant to father and mother to
raise their son.
What hardships and disappointments would
be entailed by my leaving home against my parents

modern in it's phraseology, but the
same spirit was evidenced at least
as early as the first century A. D.,
and found voice in these words
spoken by Phillip to Messiah:
Lord. shew us the Father
A practical demonstration of re-
suits is that which the multitudes
demand.
You may have graduated from a
well known and reputable college;
you apply for position with some
high class business firm; the fact
that you have been educated at a
school of good repute will be ma
terial benefit to you in that it will
gain for you more ready ingress
into the inner circles of substantial
business; but it will be up to you to
demonstrate that you are qualified
for practical business life.
Many college graduate has fail
ed to hold place in the higher
walks of life, because of lack of
either natural ability or energy.
Their failure was not chargeable to
the school, nor to any one connect
ed Herewith, but to the material
with which the school was supplied.
A school or college does not create,
1T merely takes the raw material as
furnished by and in each individual
student, passes them thru the vari-
Gus departments of a great institu-
ton of learning, and finally the
student passes from the institution,
a finished product. Just what that
finished product is will depend up
on the quality of the brain and NOR
al fibre which constituted the raw
material.
1t is natural however, that we de-
mand that in everyday practical life
the Individual demonstrate the
benefit derived from the institution
he represents, whether it be an
ordinary branches of learning, or
a special course Of study, as, for in
stance. law or medicine.
There are "shysters," and petit
foggers." who because of mediocre
talents are unable to attain high
degree of success in the legal world,
who will stoop to despicable chican-
cry and intrigue, and will employ
questionable methods to gain their
more questionable ends; but we do
not condemn all that pertains to le-
gal Jurisprudence because of few
blacklegs who indulge In their ne
farious practices, any more than we
decry against all colleges because
some of their graduates fail in life,
or become scoundrels.
Likewise young fellow fares
forth from some medical school, and
begins his career as medical prac-
titioner. We expect him to dem
onstrate knowledge of the science
of pharmacuetics commensurate with
the reputation of the school from
which he received his diploma. True
there are "quacks'' perpetrating
their conscienceless diabolism upon
gullible public, but we do not
condemn all that pertains to thera-
peutics because there are few in
dividuals who have not a proper
respect for the dignity and high
calling of the healing art.
Again, in things religious we de-
mand that man be true to the
tenets of the religious body of
which he Is a member. Whether
it be Taoism, Shintoism, Brahman-
ism, or Buddhism. Whether he
be an adherent of CONTIGUOUS, that
great chinese philosopher and

that he shew forth in Lis daily ac-

face was changed beyond recognition ad-
mirers dropped away like rats from a
doomed ship. ALL indeed, but one! Each
day small bouquet arrived with the
same card, each day brought to the door
the patient countenance of young Jean
de Ravelle.
And SO one day Jean de Ravelle was
admitted, and he kissed the hand of Sonia
and looked at her face; but he did not go
away. Instead he stayed and told her of
his home in the mountains near the line
where France meets Spain, and something
quickened in the dying heart of the dancer.
Then one night she wound a veil about
her head, and she and her lover journeyed
from Paris and were married.
They lived alone; for Jean was an
orphan, without sisters or brothers. For
time they were contented, and Jean, at
least, was happy; for Sonia became the
mother of twins, Alix and Jeanette.
THREE years passed. Sonia read of
surgeon in London who had cut the
burnt skin from woman's face and re-
placed it with skin from her body. Finally
Jean was persuaded. Selling all that he
owned in the world except the old chateau,
which no one would buy, he took his fam
lily to London. The great surgeon in
some degree lessened Sonia's disfgure-
ment; but the improvement did not per-
nit of her resuming her profession. So
they dragged wearily through the years,
Jean at his teaching, Sonia with small
dancing class, but for the most part list
less and ILL.,
Then suddenly she took heart again
She had seen in her daughters ray
of light, an opening to a better future.
They were brought from the country
where they were boarding, and she began
teaching them her art, training them re-
lentlessly as she had been trained in
Russia. With feverish eagerness she
watched for results; and results came,
for the children had inherited her aptitude.
Puzzlingly alike in appearance, they
were unlike in temperament. Jeanette
had her fathers nature-unselfsh, de-
voted, tender In Alix, Sonia found re-
hected her own dominant will and spirit.
And so it was upon Alix that the mother
came gradually to center her hopes, to
Alix that she told and retold the tale of
her stage triumphs.
But Sonia never saw Paris again. She
died when the girls were fifteen, in the
obscurity that all her life her soul had
loathed.
The broken-hearted father planned to
remain in London, hoping to get little
work to do, and also that his daughters
might secure dancing pupils But Alix
rebelled. Her mother had talked so much
of Paris that her one aim in life was to
take Sonia's place before the footlights
Finally they went to Palermo, where
Alix obtained an engagement in minor
music hall. She made success which in
a place of more Importance might have
led to advancement; but Herewith one
exception-the clientele was too ignorant
to know her worth. The exception was
Dr. Felix Renoir, young Frenchman who
had come from Paris to study cerebral
surgery.
Happening one evening to meet the
girl on her way to the theater, he had fol-
lowed her, and after the performance had
sought an introduction, Gratifed and
tattered by the praise of Partisan. she
had encouraged his attentions, had re-
ceived him at her home. and before she

resolved mind. Returning home, she said
to Paris, and to her sister as quietly, "He
has deserted me, and after that his name
was not spoken between them.
And now, secretly, she offered herself
as model to several foreign artists. To
the American painter John Andrus she
was soon giving all the time possible with
out arousing her fathers suspicious, and
every penny that he paid her she boarded.
Then one day. at his chance mention of
Paris, new plan was born to her.
will you take me to Paris if marry
you?" she asked him.
"Where else should take you? That
is where live" he answered.
"Take me there. Then | will marry
you," she said.
He shook his head. a will take you
only as my wife,"
THE day on which she started for Paris
came at last That morning when her
father was away occupied with pupils she
packed her trunk and sent it to the dock.
To the weeping Jeanette she said, 4Tell
father that | am married. Take him to
the registry to see the Names
But surely you will wait and say
gOod-by to him!"
"When | am in Paris will write. In
the meantime you must take my place
at the theater, so as not to lose the money.
Stop crying and listen! have left you
my stage things. Tonight you will dance
in my place, and if you are careful no one
will suspect the change
"Alix, my darling Alix, hope you will
be very. very happy sobbed Jeanette
when the moment Of parting had come.
"You are going to Paris at last! And you
will be premiere at the opera, as mother
said
Alix drew herself from the clinging
arms and picked up her travelling bag.

said as she turned away. al am going
