and are taking your city. We men
from the country are willing to do
more work. We were prepared by
our experience to do hard work.
City boys are in the embarrass-
ing position that their fathers have
great sums of money, and those
boys have not a ghost OF a chance
to compete with you who come
from the country and who want to
do something in the world.
spoke Just now Of the strug-
gle for success. What is success"
Is it money! Some of you have all
the money you need to provide for
your wants. Who is the poorest
man i'm the world? l tell you, the
poorest man / know of is the man
who has nothing but money, moth
ing else in the world upon which
to devote his ambition and thought.
That is the sort of man / consider
to he the poorest in the world.
Now, let me leave this little word
of counsel for you. Keep a little
ledger as | did. Write down in it
what YOU receive, and do not be
ashamed to write down what you
pay away. See that you pay 1t
away in such a manner that your
father or mother may look over
your book and see Just what you
did with your money, 1t will help
you to save money, and that you
ought to do.
| will read q few items from my
ledger. ] find in looking over it
that | was saving money all this
time, and in the course of a few
years l had saved q thousand dol
lars. Now, as TO some Of my eN-
penses. see that from November
"a, 1855, to April, 1856, ! paid for
clothing 5000. l see also here an
other item which ! am inclined to
think is eNtravagant. because | re-
member | used to wear mittens.
The item is a pair of fur gloves.
for which ! paid $3.50. In the
same period ! find / gave away
$5.5S. IN one month | gave to
foreign missions 10 cents; to the
Mite society, so cents, and there is
also contribution to the Five
Points mission. | was not living
then in New York, bat ! suppose
l felt that it was in need of help,
so | sent UP 2 cents to the mission.
Then to the venerable teacher of
my class l gave 35 cents. to make
him a present. To the poor peo-
pie of the church | gave 10 cents
at this time, and in January and
February following ] gave 10 cents
more, and a further 10 cents to the
foreign mission,
Those contributions, small as
they were, brought me into direct
contact with philanthropic work
and with the beneficial work and
aims of religious institutions, and
/ have been helped thereby greatly
all my life. 1t is a mistake for a
man who wishes for happiness and
to help others to think that he Will
wait until he has made a fortune
before giving away money to de-
serving objects.
The habit of sneering at the man
or boy who is careful with money
makes many youth, who fears
to be called a "tightWad,' become
wasteful in habit and prevents
prosperity later. The spirit Of saw
ing conscientiously for a specific
purpose does not necessarily de-
velop permanent meanness or
misery spirit. This is shown by
the long maligned giver of this
hundred millions of dollars and
other great sums, The habit of
the Rockefeller youth of giving
regularly grew as he advanced and
benefactions ever went into sensible
channels.

SAVER AND GIVER.

The average boy of a New Mex

spends it too freely, lacking knowl-
edge of the necessity Of reserving
a fund as a foundation for some
business or advancement. Town

and dress appeal to the desires Of
The Youngsters who follow the
crowd. scatter money for fountain
drinks, pool games, shoe shines,
cigarettes, shows, fancy clothes
and divers things that consume

Much of the pTodigal spirit and
habit of young spenders is because
of neglect by parents to restrict eN-
trayagance and to teach that
money may be made by saving for
use at opportune times.
1t ought to interest entire fami-
lies to read how an American boy

At a social gathering of a Young
mems Bible class the senior Rock
efeller laid before his hearers sew
eral lessons from the experiences
of his early days. He had, after its
disappearance for many years, dis
covered what he called his first
ledger" a small paper covered
memorandum book in which he
had kept an account of every. cent
of money that came into his hands
during a period of several years,
after he began to earn, forty-two
years before the time he was talk
ing. He quoted from it with the
belief that it might encourage
young men to know of the methods
of economy which gave him a foot
hold, In a practical talk on small
beginnings and proper use of them
Mr.. Rockefeller confessed frankly
and unashamed to small and scrup-
ulous expenditures for personal and
charitable use, that serve to indi-
cate how reckless are youthful
wages learners of today.
Using the record Of his boyhood
days as his text Mr.. Rockefeller

In Mora Co. the Democratic
Fusion Ticket won by majorities
ranging from less than a hundred
to about $50 votes. At three o,cl-
ock Friday it was conceded by
the Republicans that theyssl had
lost the whole County ticket.
This will give Roy three County
officers as follows: J.W. BECK
Representative Mrs. Grace Ogden
Supt. of school and E.J.H. Roy
County Surveyor.
Roy Precint went about three
to one Democratic, altho Cox fa-
lied to carry this ratio. Mrs. 0gd-
en- headed the ticket with the gr
eatest majority and J.W.Reck a
close second and E.JH,Roy a
close third. Nearly 500 votes were
cast in the Roy precinct and the
judges did not finish counting
until early Wednesday morning
Solano went Democratic by a
small majority and Mills cast a
mixed plurality. The number Of
scratched ballots On this side of
the river was enormous and far
greater than the number of strai
ght ballots.
One noticeable fact of the cleo
ii on at Roy was the large mum
berof farmers that failed to vote.
Why this was we are unable to a
say but Roy fell short at leaat a
hundred votes of what she sho-
uld have cast.
Next week we will try and publ
ish the exact vote of the Roy pr
ecinct and also Mora County but

there is nothing more to say
than Harding will be inaugerated
