matter whether you farm, practice
law or medicine, follow some line Of
business, go into politics, or preach,
you will need clear head and sound
judgment. Therefore you must learn
to think clearly and soundly, and get
right down to the bottom of things.
Third. you must learn to work.
There Is no real success without la

will make poor out at it unless you
put brains into your farming. 1t is
brains applied to labor that makes
work pleasure instead of drudg-

MYSTERY IN SKELETON FIND.
The Coroner Of York County Trying
to Unravel the Problem.

Rock Hill, Jan. 10.-The skeleton
remains of human being were found
yesterday on the Springstine farm,
near the Catawba river, by some
boys, who were rambling in the
woods. The bones and remnents of
clothing were gathered into a sack
and brought to town. Coroner
Strait held an inquest, which was
adjourned for the purpose of obtain
ing, if possible, some evidence to
establish the identity Of the dead.
The skull and bones showed no signs
of any violence and the lines of the
Uranium, o.: rather the almost entire
lack Of them, indicated that it was
that of al aged person.
There are two persons missing
from the neighborhood, a white and a
negro, both men. The white man
was employed at the pumping station
short distance above where the
skeleton was found. and the negro, a
farm hand, was employed on a farm
about the same distance below. The
white man disappeared three or four
months ago and the negro a still Ion
ger time. An effort will be made to
get before the jury relatives or ac-
uuaintances of these parties who may
be able to identify the clothing.

not be so easy in your generation as
it was in your fathers or mine. Com
petition will be much keener and

things you will need, therefore, If
you are to win in this race:
First, you will need strong. vigor-
Gus bodies. The body is che machine
winch the mind works, and you want
that to be in the very best order. You
ought to live to be in good working
condition till you are eighty. After
that you should take it easy for the
next ten years. Our bodies were
made to last about five times as long
as it takes to grow to maturity. You
might live to be hundred years old
ii you took the right sort Of care of
yourself. Now you will be healthy
enough if you don't wear yourself
out by contracting bad habits. My
advice to you would be to cut out

nate Roosevelt or any other member
