I am talking to you, son. You're a

strong In body and your mind is not
weak. And l say to YOU that il you are
broke. stranded and frendless. it's ten
TO one that but one person will be to
blame, and that's yourself.
For you can make yourself efficient
There is some one thing, maybe two
things. that you can he able to do better
than most other people can do. And for
always an opening.
This world Is full of second raters. of
unskilled. unframed. botchins. butter
fingered incompetents. They usually are
SO because they were too lazy or too
ignorant to prepare themselves 10 do
well some part of the worlds work
Lord! Lord. the poor work that fills the
world! Think of it, OF all the mothers
in this town. how many are successes
How many are applying themselves, by
study and constant effort, To the bust
ness of mothering:
had, ! suppose. hundred teachers
more or less, in my school days: and of
them l can't remember over two or
three that understood how to teach The
others were just holding their jobs.
Most preachers you hear are bad-not
ers cannot sing. Most actors are me-
diocre. Most books are a waste of time
Most houses are not At to live in.
Most cooks can't cook. Most clerks do
not earn even the small salary they get
I do not speak Of genius. nor OF the
exceptionally gifted people. 1t is plain
fact that the man who simply does well
the thing he Is paid for doing is a rare
quantity. That Is the shameful truth.
And the direct road toward always
getting employment. toward being in
dispensable and In demand, is to equip
yourself to do something we'll
No, son. don't get led astray by wild
eyed theories. To be sure, it's wicked,
cruel and selfish world. There's deal of
injustice and special privilege and all
that in it.
But I'm talking to you. And tell you
that the way to keep out Of the mud of
failure is to train yourself, to study, to
be Industrious. and to fit yourself to do
something well, to make good.
They tell you that every employer has
more applicants than he has jobs. The
truth is that he has more inefficient ap-
plicants. If he knew that you could do
the business satisfa ctorily he would give
you work Immediately.
The world is hungry for men who can

THE EVENING STORY.
The "Left-Out" Lady.
Copyright. 1918. by ". wernerl

The Monday Afternoon Club was in
session at Mrs Wallace Wyatts. For
an hour eager ladies, showing glimpses
of bright. shimmery frocks under their
heavy coats. hurried sinely and in
pairs along the street toward the
Wyatt house, freshly scrubbed at its
front porch and heaming with hospi-
tality. All Pink street was there with
the" exception of Mrs. Keeble. who had
a new baby: old Mrs. Goodwin. who
had never learned to play bridge. and
little Mrs. Severance.
Little Mrs. Severance had not been
asked to join the Monday Afternoon
Club. or even ccasionally attend it as
a guest She was not called upon by
the Pink street ladies. 1t is true they
bowed to her when they met her. but
il was the kind of bow which says.
Thus far and no farther
The Severances were poor. and they
We're trying to pay for their house be-
fore making any improvements upon
it. 1t was shabby. low gabled old
house. as dingv within as without
There was large garden at the back,
where Mrs. Severance and the two
boys, thirteen and eleven. respectively
raised vegetables, which they sold. Be
sides helping in this way Mrs. Sever
ance made tatting lace for one Of the
stores
She made it so beautifully that even
lofty Mrs. Graham was not ashamed to
wear it. though she gave Mrs. Sever
thing SO exquisite. Mr.. Severance
worked in the feed mill, and was al
ways in dusty state as to coat and
whiskers, but he was a nice. steady
