The successful men who are now most| > = Prolific of advice had little of it to help themselves. Some of their recipes for success may, however, be re- , corded. Perhaps the best is Emerson's “enter cordially into} | the game and whir! with the whirling world.” It suggests the colloquial “get into the game" and it is the secret of success in a nutshell, } ‘ Anthony Hope says: “Work eight hours a day at j 3 something you do not like so that you may get two|« Bs) hours for the profession you prefer.” And on similar} ¢ q Innes js the advice of W. E. Corey, superintendent of the | 7 ‘ Homestead Steel Works: “Do not be satisfied to do} « merely. the work laid out for you; do more.” Mr.|% teered the cigar store men. . : “Why not?” asked the Man Higher Up. “He went gunning for bears down in Mississippi two or five weeks ago or so, didn’t he?” “But he didn’t get any bears,” said the cigar store man. “And he won't get any TTrusts,” said the Man Higher Up. “The only bear he got a chance at was one they tled to a tree, and it was 60 near oh | SFE President Roosevelt has gone gunning for the Trusts.” volun from fright that he wouldn't shvot it. Attorney-General Knox is the who will have tot tle the Trusts to trees for the President—and the torney-General is a small man. “Not that I'd want to criticise the President and his fever for hunting If it-gives him pleasure, what right have we got to go and kick the fa ture around? He's got a big job, and the best thing we can do is let hit run it the way he. wants to. » “When he went out West to hunt mountain lions in Colorado last winter the whole nation held its breath, There was fear on every hand that some lion would get him down and make a course dinner of him, But he*came back without a ecratch and loaded down with manuscript enough to make a nice large book. “Ever hunt a Colorado mougtain lion? Ever hunt a Mississipp! bear? Well, an able-bodied member of the Broadway Squad could take all the mountain lions in Colorado and all the bears in Mississippi and fan them {to death in three days. Pursuing this wild and ferocious game is an ex- hilarating pastime, about on a par with chasing a cross-town car. “If the President wanted to get into condition to shoot holes through the Trusts he should thave gone to the Adirondacks or Maine and rigged up for a deer hunter. There is more excitement in dodging bullets than there is in firing them, and it would have been-a better rehearsal.” “Do the Trusts know that President Reosevelt is hunting them?” asked the cigar store man. “T haven't heard of any of the Trusts taking to the woods,” ‘replied the Man Higher Up. “Maybe they heard about the bear hunt. But the ‘Trusts ave emooth and slippery propositions. Nobody knows just what tl knew. It looked like they smelled the chase, though, when Tom Reed ‘turned up in Washington just before Congress convened. 3 “Reed didn’t have very much to do. He just stood around the hotel lobbies and kidded the Trust hunters. If he hadn't been crimped by @ mild attack of appendicitis he'd have laughed the latest Roosevelt hunting om pedition off the boards; and he'll do it yet if he gets well tn time.) ¢ ~ “The President is getting to be somewhat of a kidder himself. ¥ ale | most laughed out loud when I read that story about his telling Secretary Shaw that he was going to send him back to ‘de mines.’ That's the way persons of Hibernian birth pronounce the name of the capital of Iowa. “f was a little woozy about the joke at first, but when I saw the diagram £ recognized it right away." { “Cabinet Ministers must have hard jobs,” remarked the cigar store mam, “It they have to stand for that sort of persifiage I should say they did,” i replied the Man Higher Up, “but a joker in the White House is as scares as hair on @ Mexican dog. Abe Lincoln was a joker. But he was a different President: The average President takes himself so seriously that he'd rum across the street if he saw a sign advertising ‘Joe Miller's Joke Book.’ Ad 7 3 he’s wise at that, because the people fall to a solemn guy for the real thing.

Schwab. Tt ds almost an echo of the late Gov. Flower's “Inde- pendence, self-reliante, fair play.” But examples are better than precepts. Hear the tes- jtimony of Alexander Stephens: “No one can imagine} Bz ,how.I worked, how I delved, how I labored over books. Often I spent the whole night over a lawbook and went | +to bed as the duwn was streaking the East.” This was “a youth 80 frail that his physical condition excited pity. | ¢ ‘8 Vines prepared to study rhetoric and English composi-| tion as Stephens studied law or Corey studied chemistry? {It ts doing with all one’s energy and with unyielding persistence what the mind finds to do tuat starts the am- Mitious youth on the road to success.
