Mr. Babson said he was unable to find a single Industry In the country it which some man had not made a million dollars.

"We found that nve per ceni were the sons' of bankers; ten per cent were the sons of manufacturers; wenty-flve per cent were the sons or school tfeachers, doctors and cpuntry lawvers: while thirty per cent were the sons of preachers earning salaries of less than a thousand dollars a year. Habit Funning. ' (Anonymous.) The following rules are grounded n the laws of habit forming: 1. Make good resolutions intelli gently, and record them. 2. Take advantage or every cir cumstance that will help you Keep our resolutions. 3. Keep away from temptation. 4, Keep away from associates who i discourage you. 5. Put yourseir in risnt relations to encourage you In the new way. 6. Selxe the first opportunity to act on resolutions you make. 7. Make engagements that will keep you out of the old way. 8. Never suffer an exception to occur to hinder the new habit from becoming surely rooted In your life. 9. Remember until the new habit Is fixed, each lapse makes the effort more difficult. 10. It Is the keeping, and not the making of good resolutions which affects the brain. work and produce all the materials of wealth are always down and out and need the assistance of all the politi cians and all the political parties and platforms to keep 'em from starving?
