Every boy who has the liphtkind of material iu him like? a good game of foot ball. Foot ball develops your thinking faculties It omj.ti you to think qUi k d nc curatory.

His plans of n'tact were such to f 1 10W great foresight oil tin' na ' tl' tie'd. llenjainan Fi an k- Robert Fulton believed in steam for power and so open ed a new avenue for experi ment and invention. Tho.e are i!lustrationsthat show the trend of the mi tid. Now every 1 oy has a mind that has a power of develop ment in pome certain chan nel. It may be in law, in medicine, in literature, in in vention, in agriculture, in mechanics. Be it what it ma' he should lei that line be his major aim in life and build around it for his future. His great aim should be to ward success in a laudable ambition, and as he mounts the ladder of life he should develop all of his powers and make his education broad enough to meet all later requirements. Now don't overlook the little things in life. Don't forget to be methodical. It is the loose ends in business that wrecks many a promis ing financier. Every act you do should be carefully con sidered. You must learn to reason quick and to the point. Every evening think over your daya work. Spend just ten minutes thinking if you have done aught that you should not have, done. Look these facta square in the face and if you are not satis fied remedy them as best you can. You hav your own future entirely under yourown con trol. In the language of the street, it if "Up to You" to maka good. Are you doing it? if not, why?
