Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 November 1882 — No Suen Word as Fail. [ARTICLE]

No Suen Word as Fail.

We begin to think tuat Richelieu’s creed was right; there is no such word as fail in tbe vocabulary of the man who is bound co succeed in his undertakings. In this world of ours there are men of men. We see on the one hand young men well educated, with perfect brain and f>rm, unable to cope with the world. On the other we find men without education, with imperfect physical development, overcoming natural disadvantages achieving honorable success. There is residing somewhere in New Jersey a man who was born without arms, and yet can write remarkably well, chiefly by using his lips. His ambition, backed by a persevering industry has enabled him to overcome difficulties mat seemed insurmountable, and he therefore qualified himself for an active- business man. He is now nearly thirty years of age, and is an object of absorbing interest to all who come in contact with him.
