F~Hf ~" III DIG efHNN>
Belyidere Brooks was 55 when he
died, When a boy Of IL he was a
Western Union messenger in a
Texas village. When death called
him he was second in command in
the greatest telegraph system in the
world. He was born on small
farm; he died in the worlds
greatest city. What was the Sc
cret Of his SUGGEST These ore
his words: lizard work and appli-
cation" He had no schooling to
speak Of in his boyhood. This
deficiency was met and overcome by
his ambition and study at night.
He fed from the farm to better
his condition. He began in a. low
ly position.
II is long call from the Navas-
ota messenger boy to the executive
head of the greatest telegraph
company IN the world with head
quarters in New York.
He made the journey. He was
one Of the worlds winners in the
field Of endeavor.
He began life weighed down with
handicaps. He shook them of and
won his way to the highest rung
of the ladder in the world Of the
electric spark. Hard work and
application told the story.
The boy who refuses to buckle
down and work hard and study
hard will never master the game.
The game is worth playing. Why
remain in the r1t where one
was born7
Why not go out into the big
world and play for high stakes,
the big prizes, which are the re-
ward Of life's endeavorf
Why play for small stakesi
Why bewail the lack Of opportunity
Why not dare and dof Why not
labor and win9 Really the handi-
caps which were placed upon
Brooks in his boyhood days were
not handicaps. Wealth for a boy
is a breeder Of Incidence. 1t robs
him Of the incentive to go out in
the big world and win a place for
himself among the leaders.
Money may do many things.
Money provides for its owner
the Injuries Of life and the things
beautiful which makes existence
rosy.
But money did not make the
men who are high in the financial
world today, nor did it make the
men who control the politics of this
nation. 1t never made great
captain Of industry, an inventive
benefactor of the race or a Belvi-
dere Brooks.
Money builds monuments for
rich men when they die but the
immortals of the world reared their
own monuments while living by the
achievements of their deft fingers
and active and intelligent brains.
There is no royal road to
greatness. The worker is usually
the winner.

TOO MANY PASSENGERS
U. S. Steamer Inspectors Investigate
Allegations Made Against the
Steamer St. Johns.

Following the fling of charges in
steamer ST. Johns. belonging to the
Colonial Beach Company. had aboard
Monday evening last on moonlight
trip down the river more than the
1000 persons she is allowed to carry
Capt. Charles Wright and Capt. Ed
mund White, United tSates steamboat
inspectors in charge of the local dis
trict, yesterday held an investigation
aboard the st. Johns as she lay at her
wharf. foot Of 7th street southwest.
About thirty witnesses. many of whom
were women, were questioned, but the
examination of each witness was pri-
vate. the testimony being taken by
stenographer.
What the Witnesses Said.
While nothing of the testimony of
the complaining witnesses was given
out, 1T is understood to have been
charged that the steamer was much
crowded and that she listed several
times on her way down the river and
back to this city until her guards
touched the water.
The steamboat officers testified that
when the steamer backed away from
the dock here the registers showed
1890 persons aboard; that before the
st. Johns backed away from the dock
about forty left the steamer and went
aboard the steamer Gratitude, which
was used to carry the overflow crowd.
The customhouse inspector who kept
the government count Monday night
would not announce the number the
St. Johns had aboard, according to his
register. but stated that it was quite
number less than what she is al
lowed to carry.
AS is usual in such Investigations,
the inspectors reserved their decision
and returned to Baltimore, taking
with them the stenographic report of
the testimony. This will be studied
and in the next week or ten days their
findings will be announced.
Penalty, If Case Is Proved.
Should it be found that the steam
boat company allowed moro persons
aboard the steamer than her certifi-
cate calls for the company is liable
to a fine of 500 for each person the
ST. Johns had aboard over the 1000
she is allowed to carry. The officers
call attention to the fact that 1t would
be foolish for them to allow aboard
the st. Johns more people than the
