George has Just been appointed assist

to have an advantage like that givei
to him, while fellows like me have t<

"But that seems to be the way th<
world Is made, John, and the more

hardship, or whatever you pleaso t<

know the old saying, 'It's three gener

sleeves anil gets his living, but he de
oiiles that his children shull have niori
opportunity than he, so he gives then
an education. The sons make mone:

they pass it on to their sons, who hnv<

so the shirt-sleeve process begins

It happens with suflleeut regularity t<

ceptinn proves the rule."
"Yes, but It needn't be so," repller
the boy.
"I know that," replied the father
"but there Is enough truth In It t<
prove what I want to any. Even Got

miles In a bee lino across the wilder

forty years to get to Canaan, beeausi

them ready for the conquest, when hi
got them there. The Bible says hi
led them not through the way of thi

too quickly to stand the hardship. Am

"Men are defented by easy vlctorlei
and cheap successes more thnn by ad
versifies. Disraeli was hissed down It
the British parliament when he tnndi
his maiden speech. But that onlj
toughened his fibre and stiffened till
resolve. Grant's reverses were tin

his later victories. It makes all th<
