pointing to a young J*hiadeiphian

The exclamation set me
thinking.
‘If I had that man’s chance!"
How often we hearit said. How
often it comes from the lips of
men,—especially young mett,—
who ^ire wasting their time even
while they utter the words.
What about the chance you
HAVE, young mar*, or middle-
I agedman?
What; are you doing with the
Senate to vieid to the demands of j chance ihat is yours? *

of the chaftcepiey had,
men nevet wasted any
eii vying: other men. They
never thought much about any
chances except their own. They,
thought so much about these and
made so much of them that they
won the places and the prizes^
The come-lougers who i^?ished
for their chances as they passed-
they >are the ones of whom noth-
ing^is known today. ' i: ;V
Your chance tobay probably is
a little better than it ever before
would have Ibeen. At the lowest
estiinate, it is gust as^ood. 'lArid
when I speak of your chance, I
plaw your poesibilitiea at a
minimum,—because I never like
to overstate any proposition.
It is not your chance. Theiy
are your CHANCES!

A comparative handful of

and a call for a quorum in either

forced a return of the embarras

i’ollowing this he sent to Con

Many a time the other man’s
chance isn’t nearly so bright and
promising as you think it is.
Many a time your own chance
is brighter and more promising
than you think it is—chiefiy be-
cause’you have not taken enough
trouble to know what yoiir chance
seally is.
Always it is so much easier to
see the good in another’s life
portion than in your owfi. I do
not know why this is the case,
but it is. .
And the wise man is the one
who never was|;e3 time, strength
or mental energy figuring on the
other man’s chance. He is woifk-
ing his own chance for all it is
