The young man who is content to, remain stationary will never be a success in life. If he fails to press forward he will soon And himself slipping to the rear; and the devil takes care of the hindmost. The idle youth who Inherits a fortune Is in greater danger than he who faces the muzzle of a gun in the hands of an angry opponent The one may plunge to his soul’s destruction, while the other may only be deprived of his life. Marriage is a lottery only when one or both of the contracting parties insist on making it such. One must not expect perfection in his or her mate unless willing to accord the sanae in return. Of course, everybody longs for peace and tranquility in the U. S. A. And, likewise, everybody wants the other fellow to* be the one who is flattened out by* the steam roller of Individual prosperity.

With the prices of women’s gowns prowling around in the skies, the old fashioned sewing circle should become again an aristocratic feature of feminine life. The preacher ties the knot, the judge unties it, and between the two It’s a continuous merry-go-round performance from one act to the other. Everyone denies any responsibility for the high cost of living. Of course. No one is guilty. Prices just naturally jumped of their own accord. r The most fortunate man in all the world is he who has achieved the greatest success through his own honorable and unaided efforts. Editors and preachers arte presumed to be the most holy men on earth. And, incidentally, their pay is the most unholy. >

Truly great persons are often insignificant in their own estimation. Buit not so with tftie pewee who apes the giant. The idle and the feeble appeal to fortune for succor. The man of resolution carves, it out for himself. The young man who learns to depend first upon himself will seldom have to appeal to others. The wise man permits others to judge as to his worth. The fool appraises his own. Good resolutions are all right, provided the resoluter resolutes as he resolves. Fortune has deserted many a man because he left it to its own device. Female labor in Switzerland has not yet been accredited an equal footing with male labor, even where men and women are doing the same kind, amount and quality of work In the same concern.
