That would make him years old now, instead of “the oldest man in the world.” But John insists there was an error in that early enumeration. He says he was born 1788. i A similar case was Noah Raby, who died in a New Jersey poorhouse several years After his death, the census bureau investi- and found that he was less than 100.

If one pugilist Js about to engage in battle with another he hires a trainer, and he does not hire one who can never hit him. He hires one who will hit him and hit him hard unless he does his very best. In that way he grows strong and capable. We ought to be very thankful for competition, It ts the thing that spurs us on, and renders us capable of heroism, In a land where the bread-palm drops tts fruit into the open mouth of the native below, there may be life without effort, and success with- out competition. But in all the places where a civilized man would care to live, success must be won by striv- ing. And there will always be more striving than success.
