Learn to Help Yourself.

fear that a great majority of peo-
pie, at least in great majority Of
cases, simply sit down when they run
up against blind wall, writes Arthur
M. Judy in the Atlantic. II they can
call the plumber, or the butcher, Or
the gardener, or the laundress. or the
shoemaker, or the blacksmith, or the
dairyman, or the horse.tamer-then
a way out will be made for them.
And that is what your city life tends
to do for your boys and girls-set
them to calling upon an endless va
riety of specialists to help them sur
mount life's problems. On the other
hand, farmer boys and girls must
learn to be all these specialists. The
consequence is, they grow up with the
feeling that they can and must do it,
no matter what befalls; and that feel
ing, or | greatly miss my count, is
the secret of the power of initiative.

that you lack the mature balance nec-
essary with a young man Of business.
You are frivolous, unsettled. Why!
that photograph fad Of yours has cost
you a small fortune. Your mind
should be on the bank-first, last, and
all the time. At the end of a month
you will prepare to go back to col
lege. That is my last word. Why,
sir" and the old financier swelled up
with a sense of his own vast impor-
lance, II should think my success, and,
l may say, my infallibility as an ex-
pert banker, would set model for
you. 1t is only by strict attention to
business that have earned the repu-
tation of making this institution a
veritable stronghold. No borrower
ever gets the best of me. No sleek
swindler pulls the wool over my eyes"
Meekly, but at soul wretched and
unhappy, Alton accepted the dictum OF
his self-centered relative and passed
from the room. Two months previous
. : he had graduated from college with
full honors. His uncle had offered
, him a position at a good salary in
the bank.
Forthwith Alton had considered him
self a made man. The first thing he
| did was to fall in love with pretty
Winifred Price, the belle of the village,
his second was to become engaged to
| her and plan a speedy marriage.
Perhaps his uncle had learned of
this, Alton reflected, and that was the
real secret of his drastic action. At
all events the ultimatum had been pre-
scented. It was open rebellion or sub
mission. If the former, Alton we'll
knew that his uncle would disown him,
which meant the loss Of the substan-
tial backing of helpful, influential
friend.
Alton talked over the situation that
evening with Winifred. She was sen
sible about it. Better to wait two
years than to rush madly into matri
mony with no fixed business establish
mert, she advised. At least, she de
cided, Alton had better keep in his
uncles good graces until he was sure
he could shift for himself.
So, Alton mournfully accepted the
situation. Winifred consoled hin

unemployed and irksome. He photo

A Paintino.

What is a painting? 1t is the Ian
guage of the artist in which he ex-
presses his thought, conception OF
mind, or emotion of heart. Where
writer expresses himself in words, the
artist expresses himself in colors,
lights and shadows. An authors de-
scription of a place, person or object is
but q word picture. while the artists
canvas stares us in the face, SO to
speak, flashing the subject continually
before our eyes until We can grasp its
every meaning, without so much as
turning a page. Thanks to Gilbert
Stuart and his wonderful conception
