those OF the bank Of New York
and Pennsylvania 5s, of 1898 to
yield 4.60 per cent.
In answer to inquiries as to
whether political developments in
Mexico would hinder the carrying
out of its obligations under the
June 16 debt agreement. Thomas

national committee Of bankers in
Mexico, said q substantial part Of
the SIS, 00O,0 900 needed for the first

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The frs
81. 900 I could call my own, that is
which / earned from my work as
clerk in q bank, I invested in life in
surance, so as to insure the payment
Of my debts in case Of my death.
That is as good a way as any
know OF for a young man to invest
his money, for then IL anything
should happen to him and he should
leave any obligations unpaid II can
not be said he made no provision to
pay what he owed.
Would Play Safe.
But after that. If he has money
left more than enough to provide for
such a contingency should say he
might wen put half OF it in good
bank and watch his opportunities for
investing the other half in whatever
way friends, whose business Judg-
ment is worth while, may advise
him, thus making it q fifty-fifty
proposition.
Many young men may not agree
with me, but very few of them VIII

advantage, for the reason that they
are without experience and deficieH1
in knowledge Of the worlds ways.
1t is hardly to be expected that
young man who has never had occa-
sion to invest money to advantage
should know best what to do with It.
So he must do one Of two things:
Either trust to the advice of friends
who are competent to advise him or
wait until he has acuired sufficient
experience to justify him In acting
on his own Judgment.
Prefers Big City.
I can not see how there can be
any question as to whether the
chances for success for young man
are greater in a large city than in
the average town or small city.
I prefer big city every time for
a young man il he has the ability to
fiji the job il it. comes his way. If
he does not possess that ability
what's the use of talking.
1t is trite to say that all men do
not have the same amount Of brains.
There are clever men who were born
50 and there are sduds" who came
into the world without having the
qualities which would place them
above their fellows in the struggle
for success. y
The first will usually climb the
ladder Of success until they haVHn
reached, IL not the very top run
at least have come near to it, and
may be classed as successes. The
others, being mediocre, must stay
near. the bottom, and that is about
all there is to it. The best they can
do is to accept the place in life which
nature has assigned them. The
others will gain the prizes, great or
