Each Age Has Advantage

Which is the best age? Are we to believe the
professor who tells that mans best work is done
before he is forty, or Robert Browning, who exalts
old age and cries. Grown old along with me-the
best is yet to be!''
Childhood, remarks writer in London Answers
has magic and mystery which can never be re-
gained. Out of its imagination child shapes it's
world and creates it's own delights In life.
Youth is the time when we find our greatest
physical expression. Our ideals take form and we
neither fettered by failures spo by success
Normal youth believes it can conquer all ends
Maturity knows better. The man of forty is
balanced by experience, and while his mental facul-
ties should have reached their highest point of de-
velopment, physically he is not back humber.
Aud what of Browning's old age? Is the best
yet to be? Perhaps. The man who has been fail
is the end of his earthly troubles and the
man who has succeeded awaits with sense of full
fllment, the next great adventure-Ex.

Higher Education


It is claimed that hod-carriers in Iowa get more
pay than school teachers. and that in New York
bootblacks make more than bookkeepers. IF this be
true what does it indicator Does it not 90 to show
that the world is crying aloud for workers on the
lowest rungs of the ladder rather than for those not
so Immediately contributing to productionp It is
just possible that we have slightly overdone the
plenty of room at the top" propaganda. No doubt
it will always be true that there is plenty of room at
the top. but necessarily few reach the top in any
line. and the middle rungs seem to be dreadfuly
crowded. And there is another reason why hod-
carriers get much pay: So many good hod-carriers
have been spoiled in trying to make lawyers, doc
tors, teachers and preachers out of .hem. The idea
of getting higher is sometimes perverted. The
highest place for any is the place for which his
temperament his gifts, his attainments qualify him.
The successful hod-carrier is away ahead of the
successful lawyer. doctor, teacher or preacher He

Few Presidents Rich

The Roosevelt fortune was different, moreover
in being mainly inherited fortune It's possessor

of other presidents, of his personal earn

sorbed in the support of his family No other pres
dent has ever enjoyed such advantages of remuner-
ative publicity as Mr. Roosevelt. and besides his
salary from official positions, bis income from his
books and from editorial work must have been large
Yet it is fair inference that if these had been the
sole sources of his support he would have died a
poor man, as Cleveland did, and most of their pre-
decessors in the White House.
This has been the common financial fate of
presidents. and the example of Mr.. Roosevelt prob
ably merely proved the rule that the Office of pres-
dent is not economically productive in any logical

Reverses Made Mark Twain

Mark 1wain's failure as business man is said
to have made him great writer, instead of having
discouraged the humorist in his work. 1t was in,
1894 that his publishers crashed, after having pub
lished The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and
The American Claimant" The first work was
success but the second met with reverses When the
publishers found themselves in difficulty they saddled
the whole burden on Twain and he took it without
murmur.
Had he not failed in business Twain might have
been content on his laurels. Instead he went
about paying his debts His tour around the world
was undertaken expressly for that purpose. 1t was
a very successful tour. crowds turning to hear
the famous American A product of his tour was

1896 he published ''Pudd'nhead Wilson," and THE

1897. His critical essays and Autobiography" were
noteworthy productions. written in different vein
than his works before he devoted his entire life to
