Uncle Dm There are many men who havel given up a good fighting chance and ' laid down their arms because possess ed of the idea that they had had their one chance and failed, and that opportunity would knock at their door no more. We were talking with a men not long ago and he said that be never expected to do anything more except just try to live, aa ne had missed all chances and would never have s^" more. This is a mis taken idea, achever, for it is not a Bingle opportunity that comes to a man-it ls a train of opportunities, a never ending procession, t Some ?miall, some large, growing perhaps more small as the years flow oav but ever and always opportunities, too numerous and too largo for us to utilize fully. And this is a good, healthy optimism for these times- of boundless opportunities. They are bobbing up everywhere and on every corner and are confined neither to tbe city nor the country. Instead of merely one skimpy opportunity knocking at the door and then scurry ing away, there are whole flocks of j good ones simply pounding for ad mittance at the door of every capable, j wide-awake man or woman, lt ls true we may fall to recognize aome of the best ones, perhaps, and they slip away; we may slight others to our sorrow, but in this golden age there fa neve* a tim? when there is not at least one opportunity awaiting the grasp ot the poorest and most unfor tunate, if they will only take advan tage of them.

At the present time there are abundant opportunities for every man and woman, every boy and Kiri in this land to make life worth living, and build up a character and a reputa tion that all the gold or the multimil lionaires cannot purchase, and at the jame time, to gain for themselves a comfortable home and a god living. At the present time there Is also a growing sentiment for quiet and un pretentious homes in the country and in small towns,''bud it is to these very. homs3 that the eyes ot the world . are now turfing for the sturdy man hood and womanhood that ls to safe guard the future of our country-to ' these .doors that the be.vt and greatest opportunities are even now knock lng, j Opie Read says this would be a dreary bid world ir everybody in lt had a million dollars.
