When you lose faith in your ability
to master problems, you are in badly |
rundown" condition; and you will t
find that taking trouble killer will
not 'twind up" your courage and pre-
pare you for a greater "drive" against |
failure. The trouble with you is you
are wrong inside. A glance at your
face tells US you are in distress. Read
just and you will find the going easier
and many hands extended to assist you
in climbing to the purple mountains.

AS soon as you are unwilling TO re-
verse those ''set habits you have been
forming for twenty years, society will
have to drive you. You spent your
good youth-days trying to cheat oppor-
tunity, so society has been forced to
prepare a home for you. The home
may be the county poor farm, insane
ASYLUM, or an old Folks Home. We
are not cheating you, but you are de-
frauding yourself. 1t makes it doubly
hard on US, so brace up, smash your
past precedents of successful failure,
and step out and shake hands with hon
est success. 1t is easier to succeed
than to fail.
Only those who honestly serve, sur
vive. If we, in our time toll for our
own selfish day, never keeping the bet
ter tomorrow in mind, we may expect
to go into the nav of forgetfulness.
People, schools, churches, empires and
republics are measured by the rule of

When the eternal God, threw a few
handfuls of fire mist into the immensi-

He made man to subdue some things on
the earth; and when see ga lot" of
these men loafng on their jobs, feel
that hell is not such an unneeded place
after all.
The papers are full of the expression
'leak." Congress is trying to wash

Now comes the Supreme Court decision
holding the Webb-Kenyon bill to be
constitutional. This law is to prevent
shipments of liquor from "wet' to
'fdry" states. From the way liquor
has come into Hays, for the last sixty
days, there must have been q Supreme
Court t'leak," and the boys being ''put

Wishing for things is like fishing for
things-wasted time. Things do not
come only by the way of perseverance
You will find you will have your falls
and bumps, but keep at it. After
while you will strike place. It is by
the rule of elimination, that will help
you to settle problems of life interest

Easy things to do are not worthy to
be considered by growing men. Those
who do real achievements have to blast
out real treasures.

Those fellows who are standing
around for the windfalls of society are
always of poor grade. I saw a man
who must be forty years old throw his
challenge against the set rules of ira
dition, pull the teeth from the brute
challenging opposition and fairly forced
success. He has been climbing up
among the crags and is now pounding
at the door of Fortune. Fortune, you
understand, keeps no bargain counter.
All the goods you get from her must be
paid for in grit and ability.
You hear men talking of bad lands.
Such lands do not exist. The trouble
with these winners is, they are living
by that old sentence '.they say" Just
because some weakling said "bad
lands" is no reason you should stand
around and say it. There is ''pay
dirt" anywhere. It seems these good
things are for the fighting few. And
great things are for those who have
faith, courage, ability and you will
never find the word doubt in their
vocabulary.
