Earnest Work Brings Success.

No class OF men have monopoly Of
opportunity. History is filed with rec
ords of the poor mans progress As the
race Is not always to the swift, so Is
success not always to the naturally
talented. It's the man who trains the
talents he has who rises above his fell
lows How often have we seen the man
whom the neighbors all looked upon as
genius fash into a temporary prom
lnence soon to give place to the ordi-
nary but tireless worker who substi-
tuted eeaseless effort and constant
pains for special gifts. The fact is
men of exceptional talents often lean
upon them and cease to make real eff
forts 10 improve. You will find them In
middle life where they were In youth.
Often they are disappointed and
grouehy creatures criticizing the eff
forts Of others who attempt on meager
talents 20 do what they ought TO have
done They have made no progress ip
developing their own personality.
