Tense OF those bygone days has long

The origin OF the Royal Company
OF Archers, the Kings bodyguard,
Is somewhat obscure, the frst un-
assailable record dating back no
further than 1876. Some authori-
ties claim the company was form
ed by James the First OF Scotland,
who chose a bodyguard for himself.
The organization was permitted
in 1915 to call itself His Majesty's
Company OF Archers," and the 1rst
parade in full uniform was held on
Leith Links on June II. 1877. Queen
Anne in 1904 granted the company

Happiness

Here is a letter which deserves
its place in the sun. 1t tells it's
own story. And it's a story which
l have been trying to make seem
real.
after reading your article on
Trying to Please Men I decided to
write to you and tell you how I
agree with you in everything that
you have said in that article.
"Since | was seventeen i have
worked and supported myself, and
during that time lived in fur
nished rooms because i lost my
parents when | was very young. !
had no home, but I tried to keep
myself above reproach. / have had
my temptations and my so-called
chances, but ! always depended
upon the good Lord for encourage
ment and He has never failed me.
Not once, nor twice, but many, many
times have / seen myself left home
in my little room, while countless
other girls had what they called
good times
II didn't dress up to the minute,
nor make up, and sometimes I won
dered If it were worth while to
play the game the way ] was try
ing to.
In the Winter of 1919 met
young man then in Uncle Sans
naval service. l liked him, but |
knew that he took out girls of very
questionable regulations. But /
continued to be friendly. I thought
perhaps he had never known any
really good girls, and / was right.
when he was released from ser
vice he came to me. He had no.
ticed the difference. He gave up
his other acquaintance. That
Christmas he gave me pretty
little diamond ring. In January we
were married. Now I have very
attractive home near where he Is
employed. When my husband gets
his bonus we are planning to start
to buy our own home.
And last but not least of our
happiness is the fact that the angels
are going to send us a gift straight
from heaven In November.
"Very often, when / sit and sew
on tiny, snowwhite garments, and
my husband is beside me in the
evening, reading from his newspa-
per, | think OF my early struggles,
and I realize how small they are
compared to my present happiness.
And so I want to tell all the real
girls that read your paper, to stay
real. BY no means should they envy
their snowy. tawdry sisters. They
should pity them because OF all the
happiness-trueh happiness-theya are
missing. l feel there Is only one
reward for real girl, and that is
the one have received.
"It seems to me that the type of
man who habitually takes out the
other sort OF girl--it is just as we'll
not to know.
There are many men that do ap-
preciate goodness when they see IT,
1t is their friendship that a real girl
wants, and II is only a question OF
time when she will get II. I. A. b.
A simple bit OF testimony this.
But II tells the story
The things that last aren't won in
a moments wildness. The big basic
joys of life don't come In response
to the cheap lures The fine re-
sponse on which love and happiness
and devotion are built cant be won
except by deep, fne feelings.

The Swedish artist who this little picture for
Stockholm Naggen said great deal in few strokes
! of his pen.
He shows you the most important just now, High
Wages trying to catch up with that fast old racer High
Prices
Both horses are moving rapidly but as you see in this
pcture each horse nailed to his particular spot and
Dhowever fast the machine may move you will find High
Prices ahead and High Wages behind.
So it has been since the beginning of time, and it
will be- not until the end of TIME, but until the end of
system by which intelligence gets itself the front horse
giving the second horse and the second place always york
Specifically you might say "What an unjust and
horrible arrangement How atrocious that those who make
ther money by charging profit should always be in the
lead whereas poor honest labor always behind always
struggling desperately to catch up!'
The fact is that in this arrangement and in this picture
in everything EARTH you displayed the wisdom Of
Providence.
The important thing earth is that MEN SHOULD
WORK. They put here to work. and thus far in
climb toward civilization necessity is the only lash that
make them 60.
Make it too easy for the brain or muscle worker and
he will stop working
Because men have HAD to work. you have your rail .
roads built and your other roads, your buildings of glass
and Steel in place of the ancient mud hus holes in the
rocks
You have your deserts irrigated your swamps drained
your savage continent turned into fertile eds-ALL BE
CAUSE MEN HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO WORK
Take away compulsion, and work will until you
put emulation in place of competition. That's far off,
Therefore, the must go you it in this
little picture Prices ahead wages behind labor imagining
that it is really racing to catch whereas wise Providence
which winds up the merry go round to which all
nailed, knows well what it has done.
With prices ahead we keep struggling and trying be-
hind and that is what intended We like this merry
go-round, wound up to work
Incidentally this shows you, many other pictures
have fhatth thore mOro nl0hf
teaching in welmade picture than in many columns of

WHAT MAKES
MILLIONAIRES?
BY ROGER w. BABSON,
World-Famous Statistician.
HIS n11nstinn nccIlrrad TO me- G

THIS question occurred to me some
4 years ago when l was investi-
eating American and Canadian busi-
ness, trying to find an undeveloped
line. studied everything from but
tons to bridges; but failed to find a
single business in which some man
was not making million dollars. Be-
coming millionaire depended on the
man, not on his line of work.
| wondered if inheritance had any
thing to do with million making. In
studying the hundred leaders of
may have had some, but not the in
f1uence you might expect. Of these
hundred, only five per cent were the
sons of bankers, only Is per cent
were the sons of manufacturers and
merchants, while 20 per cent were
the sons of teachers, doctors, and
country lawyers, and over rs per cent
were the sons of poor preachers. The
remainder were of miscellaneous par
entage.
A study of these men, however,
gave me five hints for success.
/. The majority of them are big
men physically. Those smaller of
stature seemed to have wealth of
energy. All were vigorously healthy.
2. These men are noted for their
integrity. Their word is unquestion-
ed; not because they have money,
but because they are naturally
honest.
8. Without a single exception,
these men are thrifty. 1t is habit
with them. They have always lived
on less than they have earned.
4. All have shown great initiative.
They have stepped out of the conven-
tional rut-the customary way, Of do
ing things-and have. done new
things in new way,
5. Last, but not least, they have
vision-insight into the future. Most
of them have developed it by getting
clear grasp on past and present con-
ditions, then reasoning out the fu-
ture.
These few qualities sum UP the re-
ceipt for millionaire material
health, integrity, initiative and
vision-that is, if you're lucky
enough to be poor minister's son!
