W? can picture him trudging forty * miles to borrow a grammar. We can h, as him prone before the pine fire at ^ ??*ht after hard day's work log- 0 cutting, reading end re-reading the a statutes of Indiana the only book he ^ owned, or learning to write and figure t( witL a piece of charcoal on the back of #| a wooden ehorel. aa he had no paper . or ink.

Nels Christen- ti en's school days ended at 14 years, t Vter that he worked In a machine shop days and attended a technical a school In the evenings.

Since t coming to the United Statea he haa la- f mted many compressed airbrake 1 starters for railroads, aeroplanes and f fire engines that hare brought him * world-wide fame. i Thomas Edison began to sare be- * fore he began to invent. The successful magazine editor. Edward Bok. i started saving on a salary of 60 cents I a week. Grover Cleveland's wages for his llrst year of work totaled $50. Oarfleld could not have become president had he not saved early in life ( Horace Greeley and Cooper founded their oareers on saving. Ex-Governor Ferrle of Michigan, now a college president, a life-long advocate of thrift, tells of his own thrifty training: "In my youth K I had a toy. I made It. and mode It not to ault myself alone but It hatf to suit my father as well. Hit examination of my work and his Insistence that 1 ahodlfl' put the beet there was in me even into my toys put into my back a spine and sufficient lime to last a lifetime" Thrift was the keynote of succeea 1n the life of the late Jaraee J. Hill. He was owe of the country's most consistent exponents of thrift, oae of the greatest exarapku-t of what this vlr tue combined with eaergy and high purpose, can do. He preached always I that the man who cannot tare money I -will be a failure; that though he may havs education, talent and ability, without thrifty hablte he cannot succeed. The hen that layn an egg a day la a gold mint for her owner. Take a lesson from the hen!
