A chicken farm was his next employ ment and It netted him a large amount of costly experience. He now thinks of trying mining, hut will undoubtedly dig up disaster. If he ends as a good shoeblack It will be at the bottom,' where he ought to have begun, and he will be nearer to true progress. The tug boat that was proceeding up (he river was named "Patience." It was tugging a long following of canal boats at a slow pace. It was malting Its way towards a definite point and over u prescribed and limited course. And It was going to get there. AH its energy was pledged to perseverance in the practice of the proverb, "It's doggedness as does it." The eagle over he pilot house had Its wings spread, although It could not fly yet. The boy who stood at the bow said, "I'm only a ship's boy now, but I'll be a man tomorrow." Can success find such a leap year as will enable It to land at the end of a twelvemonth without plodding toward It from its beginning? Is there any recipe cuu.c n ..i,.nB like Andrews to tobtain his fathers position and wealth without pursuing his father's path of long and patient toil? Blust not the well of a bucket shop run dry? Can a gambler finally break the bank? And can a Jack-at-all-trades be a master of any? No! The times call for specialists, rather than general practitioners. It will be a New Year Indeed for everything In general when It becomes something la particular. Better the patient, persistent tug boat than the more exciting but less profit able airplane. The ship's boy of today must precede the captain of tomorrow.

T 18 the custom of a certain rail way engineer to have his boy with him now and then In the en gine cab. The youngatar states that he has "ringed the bell and blown the whistle,' but that he has not yet "pulled the throttle." This seems to be the matter with a good many older ones of the present generation, and it may explain their lack of progress. They have rung the bell and they have blown the whistle, but they have neglected to open the throttle. - That invisible force that Is In us all responds wonderfully when we call upon It, but Is only a useless and di minishing energy until we do. Bell and whistle may advertise that we hare steam up, but they cannot get us along. They' may both be active while we are really slowing up, like the train that approaches a stop. The station may be a permanence for us when we could go a good deal farther, we may arrive at a dead line In life while yet young, because we have shut the throttle Instead of open ing It, turned off steam Instead of turning It on. . There never was more chance for progress than this New Year Is offer ing. Never before did ' opportunity beckon more earnestly. Never was talent so much' In demand, never was capacity so much needed. Never was ability so largely rewarded. Great positions wait for those who can fill them. Ambition may plan. Aspira tion may hope. But I wouldn't want a faat young man on my road. I wouldn't have a loud young woman In my office. Cigarettes shut off steam. The caV Is not for noise, but for efficiency! I can watch a young man's smoke when that Is about nil there is of him.
