He will not need them in the machine shop in which he had secured 8 job as helper.
 Thugh such mothers may grieve at the time. if they could but realize it, will not stamp out ambition from a mans heart. God mixes much good in the cup, of sorrow. The boy knows better than to join the crowd of young men who dfssipate.
 He cannot afford to be inclined that way for two reasons: His earnings will not admit of it. The young me- chanio, of all men, follows the rule: "E1arly to bed and early to rise''; if he would not only retain his job but forge ahead. Most, if not all, of the heads of great enterprises have be- gun as apprentice boys at the bench and are proud to tell it. It's the man who knows the business from the bot. tom to the top who is called in cases of emergencies suddenly to take the re ins. As boy and man, too much Knowledge of any business cannot be had-the more the better. Poverty is 8 great incentive at the outset of a boy'S career to cause him to battle manfully to put himself beyond its dread sting. Instead of being a draw back it is the greatest blessing he could have shown. The college boy can afford to sit back and wait on what father has accumulated. The poor boy must fight every inch of his way. He is sure to win in 1ife's hattie.
