So Winters succeeded. But many
others who have the same ability to
duplicate his success have not the
courage to tackle It alone and never
know their worth. Winters began his
career with the Midland Bureau az
reader and pianist with Rachel Stein
man in the well known Midland Con-
cert Company.
He also could sing. What more was
needed. he said, to make a first class
entertainer and to fill al evening full
Of splendid variety than this? "Cour-
age Of his convictions is what the
minister would call II.
He began first by winning local ora
torical prizes. Then he took profess
sional training, ending with W years
of the best Chicago affords. Where
be found time to study and practice
we cannot guess, but 1t is certain
that Winters must have worked and
worked hard with q definite object in
view.
His c he will tell you is . re-
suit OF hard work with a little native
talent to start with. That today lie
can command as large a salary as the
combined salary OF the company he
first travelled with, is not luck. 1t is
simply the result of hard work and a
vision OF what may come to him who
strives. What inspiration this ought
to be to any young man!

They gave Hoyne stuff used by
them before Congress then the sea-
mems bill was up last winter. It

chance. If they said a thing was rot

order was reversed at Washington.
