BE A SPORT

You may call yourself dull in fit of
despair,
Or drop all your pep, and say you
don't care,
But I'll tell you, my friend, that's a
habit to break.
IL planning this world not a single
. mistake
Was made in the building. SO when
you complain
Take stock of yourself. You're the
chap that's TO blame.
Just right about face; it may hurt
some, it's true,
But that's just the way any good
sport would do.
When you wake in the morning don't
look for a cloud.
You know what's behind it. Just
swing in the crowd.
Be one of them, cheerfully, singing
along.
You may get a bump, but don't stop
your song.
Perhaps one will hear it who needs
just bit
Of encouragement now. Your song
may be it.

What matter if yesterdays failures
were big?
Today is your day, so get in and
dig.
If YOU meet any trouble, why just
change its name,
And call it a ladder. They oft lead
to fame.
But whatever you do, be quick and
begin it;
You never can tell just how much
there is in it.-Forbes Magazine

making money seemed 10 be with
him.
AS a youngster he made profits
by financing and managing the

Then, as he grew older, he turned
his hand to larger ventures. Like
Midas of old, almost everything he
touched turned to gold In the
past 20 years Worthington claims
to have made $15,000,000. or more,
and to have organized some 100

But today all this fortune has
been swept away.

MASTER MIND IN FIFTY MILLION
BUBBLE CURSES FATE WHICH LED
HIN INTO PATHS OF EASY MONEY

The charges OF my accusers have
failed
They call me slick and sleek. A
CRATER. A crock am none OF
these.
'All my misfortune comes from
the knack 1 possess for making
money. 1t is a peculiar gift and
very few men have it. Even now,
down and out as / appear, within
As hours after leaving this Jail, /
can make 100000, if left alone.
And the money will be made hon
cstly, according to strict rules OF
business.
"They say 1 worked with French.
Why, l know the man scarcely at
all. The only reason l have been
locked up is because the authori-
ties cannot perceive, nor can they
recognize, that am not one of the
herded sheep following the salary
path.
Nature and birth gave me the
knack for making money. Stupid
people suspect any man who has
this faculty.
How do 1 make it? By simply
keeping my senses alert ana VISUAL
izing opportunity. One of my ways
is to take a small firm, intrench it
soundly. and then increase the CAPT
talization by honest, and fai- means
and with honest intent.
I'm all my life never detrauded
a man of d penny. In ali my bust
ness dealings l lost only $4,000 out
of all the millions of other peoples
money that I've handled and taken
charge over.
when I get out of this mess 1
tell you I'm through. I'm going to
buy a little home some place and
live in seclusion, far away from
the money marts and the jealousies
of men.
1.-The money god has been my god.
Now 1 wish 1 had worshiped some
thing else"
