Member of the 4 Press, Peb- READ OF SAM; THE BOY WHO TRIED In its report, made just before the campaign for city offices gets hottest, ing house for political reputations, has this to say about a fellow Cleveland's Municipal association, @ sort of clear for justice of the peace who js rann ng Mr career has been marked by hardship and many obstacles, which el Kabatchnick, aged 27, lawyer. Kabatchnick’s he has overcome in order to earn for himself an education and a profession He is a hard worker, which, together with knowledge of the law, would seem to fit him for the place One of the most tremendous storles of modern life is behind this little notice of a little campaign for a little office. Do you ace it, boys? ft is the story of a boy who starts out by saying and sticks to it. It is the story of one of the noblest men who ever JAbraham Lincoln. It is the story of most all men, of all times, who made grand successes of life. Moreover, it is a story show ing what Opportunity offers in our glorious country. The boy Sam was born of parents who were poot foreign ers in a strange land. Hardship was his portion from the cradle Obstacles were big and numerous all through his early youth A body of impartial business men announce that he endured hardships, overcame obstacles and earned for himself an educa tion and a profession, Boys, no boy could win a stronger, higher recommendation than this—that he never gave up, but earned for himself an edu- cation and an honorable vocation. The office of justice of peace isn’t a big thing some honor and moderate pay. But it means to this boy Sam honor and eminence are reached “T willt” lived, Tt means one step upward, and fame, step by step. No boy is really ever born to them Sam may not get this office, for the awards of politics are very often not based on desert. But you can't keep down the boy who has, in spite of hardship and obstacle, earned for him self an education and a profession. This sort of boy doesn't know what defeat means. He takes it as just another hardship and keeps plugging along with his face still turned upward, until | he wins out. It is the boy who is born to ease and the smooth } path of life who lies down and quits the earliest in the struggle. Keep your eyes on boys like Sam, boys born poor and lowly, with none of the so-called advantages, but who refuse to be kept down!

Philipson, real estate dealer in Johannesburg, led his partner Oberhetm, into a saloon and set him down before a quart bottle of cham pagne. “Liquor up, olf man,” he sald. T've sold a three-month option for 6,000 pounds to buy our plec f mining ground at 20,000 pounds Oberheim's face turned pale; clasped his partner frantically the arm. “You've he by aold——a three-month op. tion to buy our land for 30,000 pounds? he gasped. “Are you mad, Philipson? Didn't you refuse to nell it to the Twiwted Soake Co. for lees than 160,000 pounds haven't they been negotiating with us to get it at 125.000 pounds? And you sell it at 30,000 pounds? “Now, Oberheim, listen to reason and don't act crazy,” said. Phillipson ‘This rich Englishman comes along. says he representa some company or other, and wants to buy a mine on its behalf.

Wake up, old man. The gold’s there all right, but the Englishman can't touch an ounce of it, Why not? In other countries a gold claim ex tends down vertically through the earth. In the Transvaal the law ways that a mining company may follow the lHne of its own wh r it leads, even under neigh ‘6 property. To put it suc eintly, the gold under our land, be ing a continuation of the same vein that runs through the Twisted | Snake property, belongs to them, but they can only get to it by tun neling through the surface on our land, because of springs. In other words, a8 s00n as our Englishman's sunk his shafte down to the gold he'll find he's on Twisted Snake property. Oberhetm began to grin “Listen, Eph.
