A WOMAN writes me: "Will
~ you be kind enough to
recommend a good fortune
teller?" And another: do you
know the address of a reliable for
tune-teller??" But the prize Of the
whole collection is: Dear Miss
Fairfax, 1 am looking for a con-
scientious fortune-teller."
No, l do not know the address
Of a conscientious fortune-teller," "
nor the tree where a white black
bird whistles, nor the pond where
a swimming hen disports herself
gleefully-and furthermore, 1 don't
believe anyone else does, either.
If you enjoy running over a deck
Of cards, reading the lines of
friends palm, or employing similar
methods Of divination, all well and
good, they are harmless indoor
sports. And they may be depended
on, too, to pick up pennies in a
church fair or a charity bazaar,
but to pin your faith on such
things for better or worse, perish
the thought!
The only good, reliable, con-
scientious fortune-teller-as far as
your destiny is concerned-is your
self. You make or mar your own
fortune. There is really no such
thing as luck, but there is such
a thing as being at home when
opportunity knocks. Or, as Tenny-
son puts it: knowing when to
take occasion by the hand"
And while you are out telling a
hard luck tale to some long suffer-
ing friend, may be the moment that
fate elects to knock at your door
and find nobody home.
It's a good thing on the whole,
to cut out the hard luck tale and
put the amount of effort il takes
to tell il into something more prac-
teal. Something like preparing
yourself to be ready to meet oppor-
tunity when it knocks.
We Write Our Own Price Tags.
In the long run, we write our own
price tags, or the necessary num-
Der Of ciphers after our names
that send US to the scrap heap. I
know this isn't pleasant medicine
to swallow, we all prefer an agree
able sirupy anodine that will
make US dream dreams and see
visions of our high, noble, splen-
did selves, pursued by a malig-
nant fate from the cradle.
We all like to think if we had
been less honest, less faithful, less
conscientious, we should have sue
ceeded better, and that we have
failed solely because of our vir-
tues-but we haven't.
We fail when we are too stub
born or rigid to adapt ourselves
to new conditions, we fail because
we are too indolent to bear the
heat and burden of the day-and
cut work for play. We fail when
we permit our private concerns to
intrude on our business hours.
We fail when our own precious
ego crowds out everyones' else.

And we fail when we are untrue

victions.
Take the case of Woolworth,
founder Of that endless chain Of
Five and Ten Cent Stores, who
died few days ago, leaving one
Of the substantial fortunes of the
country. He took advantage of
that strong desire in everyone to
get something cheap, he was the
clerk in a village store, and he
saw the speed with which the bar
gain counter was emptied every
time it was piled with cheap mer-
chandise.
Nine clerks out of ten would not
have had the vision to see in this
constant sweeping clean of the
bargain counter, the germ from
which a huge fortune could be de-
veloped. But Woolworth did-and

At sunset long train Of cars waited on bridge as
sailing ship passed through the draw.
The ship sailed up the river toward the cold winter
sun; another ship sailed past going in the OPPOSITE
direction
Only ONE wind was blowing Yet of those two ships
blown by the same wind moved by the same power one
sailed EAST and one WEST.
may be Of use to you in your to think for
few minutes about these two ships and the lesson which they
teach-especiaIy to young men.
The who has sailed in his LIES journey toward
failure and disaster looks always with envy sometimes with
hatred and very often with intense sensation of Injustice
at the man who passes him going in exactly the opposite
direction.
Yet the FORCES that move men bound toward success
are exactly the same as those that move other men to fail
ure, humiliation, and defeat.
It is all question Of the way in which you use the
forces within yOu-just shpboard is all question
OF the use Of the common wind which blows.
IT is QUESTION OF THE USE OF THE RUDDER
Two ships pass each with its sails filed out by the same
wind The difference in direction is accounted for by the
handling Of the rudder and the adjustment of the sails
What the force Of the wind is to the ship our varying
emotions passions ambitions appettes and aspirations are
to All Of these constitute the power which may be
called HUMAN FORCE
This power differs in different individuals as the wind
differs on different days may blow from the east or the
west the north the south However it NAV blow it
can be forced by proper steering to send the ship in any
direction desired
It is harder to beat against the wind Of course and
many men have hard struggles to steer themselves to al
good port IN the face Of an adverse start hard beginning
or inclinations difficult to overcome.
But in all of the force exists which can be made to
move US in the right drecon-the force within us can be
MADE to obey our will the will be strong and the hand
on the rudder steady This be proved-for instance
There is certain force in human beings called LOVE
This force leads sometimes and happily leads usually to
domescity morality Of children and lifelong devo
ton. Then the force is used properly.
The same human passion leads to murder suicide theft
to almost all forms of crime.
There is another human passion called AMBITION
This human force of ambition, with a IIncon's con
science to guide it, a republic.
The same force guided by Benedict Arnold seeks to
betray the nation
Consider yourself a ship launched on the sea of life
under certain cOndons-but with the essential condition
IA your control
The wind may be feeble, you may drift for while or
move very soWymoVe at least in the right direction
The wind may blow gale, and you may feel as so
many do that you cannot control your emotions and your
appetes But if that comes show at least as much interest

when fate knocked in the first
place, and told him to take ad-
vantage Of the bargain hunting
instinct in womankind. So he be-
gan to save, penny at a time. to
carry out his great idea.
And when he saved. he did it
sanely and intelligently, he did
not starve himself, but he stoically
denied himself everything not alb
solutely necessary. He did not
save and scrooge one day, or a
week or month, then elbow it all
in" the moment a reckless impulse
possessed him. He patiently saved
his pennies, one by one, to try out
the scheme to which no one would
listen. And he said in afterlife,
that the most difficult thing in the
upbuilding Of the colossal fortune
he amassed, was the saving of that
first fifty dollars, penny by penny.
This gave him the chance to
back his own hand, in a very small
way, but he won-won beyond the
widest visions that ever came to
him, when as a green country boy,
just from the farm, he entered the
village dry goods store, and on a
salary Of eight-fifty a week, mar
ried the girl who helped him make
his fortune.
Only please don't do that now;
forty years ago one could buy
more meat, potatoes, and shoes for
eight dollars and fifty cents than
one can buy today.
But please do model yourself
after Woolworth to this extent,
when you have an idea for which
there is a great basic reason. like
the bargain-huntfng instinct in
women, do no allow family or
friends to wet-blanket it.
If fate knocks at your door with
a nugget and you see the way to
mint it into gold, hang on to it
like a life preserver in a ship
wreck. And save your pennies to
carry it out, too, if the money is
not forthcoming from hopeful
friends.
