TION finds that poverty is no bar to a college education \merica. The number of men who have e on by doing some sort of industrial wor! dying is said to be ] at the time gion. It will be inspiring to youth untry to hear how energetic men and women have d over seemingly insuperable difficulties in the way of se- g education in the higher branches. One of the men who have tten a book about the frequency of the occurrence and the arious methods by which it is accomplished. It is called One Hundred Ways to Work One’s Way Through College.” are not merely suggested ways for the would-be student with, they are the hundred ways which have proven P ccessful to at least one man or woman, and in some k work to multitudes. Attached to the book are about three dozen portraits of presidents of leading colleges and universities all o country, and with each portrait there is a letter telling that a common experience for young people to earn enough to mostly wholly pay their way through college. Many of these presidents is positively the best.way to get a college education; that the who struggle through in this way are more likely to appreciate d to make better use of their education than those furnished plenty of money by induilgent parents. Those who toil through poverty to graduation get a sort of double training that is useful to them in the life work that comes after college. It is noteworthy that the report says any sort of honest work is esteemed respectable when students undertake it for this ambitious purpose. Dishwashing, for instance, ite frequently used as a means whereby to earn one’s board. ng circulars has by clever systemizing of the work been ade to pay a student $5 per day. Other methods are: Collecting Is, bookbinding, barbering, soliciting life insurance, finishing for amateur photographers, shorthand amanuensis work, sell- butter, nursing, teaching music, mending, night watching and tor work. ie most original of all was hit upon by a man who figured out any student trunks had to be moved at each holiday and made contracts to get it done by hiring farmers’ wagons. He did so well at the scheme that he was enabled to graduate with his class in both erary and law department, and when he left school had a surplus ) maintain him until he worked up a law practice. Moran says this n is now a well-known corporation lawyer in California with an come of nearly $10,000 a year. Of course this deuble task of toil study requires fine health and eager energy, but, having these, no itious youth need despair because he is poor.

T. W., Berkeley, Cal. A person who has written a play and wishes to dispose of it should sub- mit it to some theatrical manager, and, if rejected, submit it to another and then another, as the play, if it has any merit, may not suit one, but suit another. Some of ‘the best modern plays have been sub- mitted to a dozen managers before being | accepted. i AN ARTIST-L, T. W., Berkeley, Cal. Luere is nothing in *‘the mode of pro- | cedure” that requires that an artist who may furnish illustrations for a magazine | should be a resident of the city in which | such periodical is published. An artist | residing in California could furnish fllus- | trations for a magazine issued in the; East if he be given the idea of what is to be illustrated. BOOK~—L. T. W., Berkeley, Cal.

He studied law, but escaped from that profession ard went to Missouri, where he taught 8school. Finding it a hopeless task he in- vaded Colorado with the intention of win- ning the State In the dark or subduing it by force. Montana offering a wider field to one of his range of activities, Mr. Clark journeyed thither and began open- ! ing up the copper mines. The result was astonishing. Money came to him so rap- idly that he couldn’t get out of its way. He accumulated the bigsest pile and the grandest set of whiskers of anybody in the Northwest.

New store, 767 Market. * e Special information suppiied daily to HAVE found that it becomes easy to ] create the joy habit when one thinks of cheer and happiness as definite forms of energy, real as currents of heat or electricity which may be released at will by the human mind just as a light may be turned on by.the pressure of an electric button. One’s thought or word is the liberating agency. The utterance of positive joy words releases the joy currents and cre- ates the mood of magic. The utterance of bitter, hateful words lets loose the tor- menting currents of bitterness and discord which create the mood of wretchedness. Simple enough, certainly. No doubt some one will say, “Why, that is some- thing I have known all my life. We all know that.” In one sense all of us have known it “all the time.” In another sense most of us have been ignorant of it. Had we really | “known” we would have ceased from our talk of blue moods and blue days, of “dumps” and discouragements and ‘“‘out- of-sorts” feelings long ago. There is no use claiming we have “known it all the time” unless by our knowledge we are able to create at will the moods we desire. ‘What would we think of a person who worked day after day in a gloomy room, railing at the darkness, when all the while he could have reveled in a flood of light by pressing an electric button in the wall” We would certainly call that person densely ignorant or stupid. And that is Just what most of us are when it comes to the question of mental control. We have faint understanding indeed of the mighty potency stored in the thoughts we think and the words we utter. If we really understood, if we really approached an intelligent comprehension of the great law, we would definitely ap- ply that knowledge for the safety and well-being of our minds, just as we now apply our understanding of other prac- tical laws for the safety and well-being of our bodies. It & man is in need of a happy mood, why does he not employ’. the proper agency to bring that mood? He can if he - nal. T | = will. The secret lies in simply bringing one’s voluntary thought to bear in releas- ing the sort of current he desires. No one really desires to be cross, un- happy, lll-tempered, miserable; and no one need be once he fully understands the secret. The average person is the victim of his moods because he does not understand. On the morning that he gets up “on the wrong side of the bed” he labors under the delusion that he is helpless in the grip of thé “blucs.” Instead of speaking words that would release the currents of gladness and har- mony about him he does just the opposite thing. He gives vent to words that cor- respond with his grouchy moed, and the more he sSays the worse he feels. Of course pach word he utters carries its own vibration of ill humor or hatefulness or misery. There is vastly more potency in mere words than any of us at present can con- celve. I have frequently been amazed In my own experience to observe how com- pletely the utterance of positive words can change one’s mental state for better or for worse. Joy comes through the speaking of joy words, and no other words can possibly release it. One can not hope to release the cheer current by pressing the misery button. 3 Let one realize that the joy forces are thrilling and pulsing all about him, need- ing only his veluntary word to liberate them for his benefit. Peace, good will and radiance are ours all the time, but we must certaicly make the right effort to release them, must speak the words that will start the currents we desire. Do you wish to be happy to-day— buoyant, alert, alive, eager for work and opportunities? Do you wish to be glad every day of your life—glad in the glad- ness of this beautiful world? You may be. Turn on the cheer current by your own positive words. No matter how you ‘“feel” in the beginning, say, “I am happy, I am radiant, I love all the world!" You will be rewarded by a glow of happiness that will transform your day B 8 business houses and public men by the Press Clipping Burcau (Allen’s), 30 Cali- fornia street.
