curred the hatred of tho friends' of

jn from Pilot Point to nttond a pub-
lic celebration of QJd Fojlows, and

whining, sanctimombus church dead
beats, but good square men. Not
sncalcs, drunkards or hangers-on to
tho skirts of others, but out-and-out
moil of individual ideas. Do not
aim to be politicians, for, as a lot,
they are poor devils, too lazy to
work and not smart enough to livo
without it. Work out your own
ideas. Don’t go to sleep in tho old
ruts to be run over by men of on-
ergy when thoy come tearing along.
Learn to rely upon yourself. Don’t
run your logs off after girls. Stick
to your business and no straight
forward, reliable,' industrious and
right up and down in ull business
affairs, like an old-fashioned saw.
and girls will run after you, ana
catch you too. Keep away from
saloons if yon would save your
health nnd pmney. If you attend
church, go home with the girls—
don’t stand out of doors tUl you
catch tho epizootic, but go in nnd
toast your ungodly shins by the fire;
join in the chorus, bq ready Xo
march as soon as tho benediction
has been pronounced, then make
for tho sweetest bird In the bash.
It you love‘a girl and want to mar-
ly hor, don’t grin liko a horse dol-
lar, wrinkle your nose, bite a wart
on yoqr finger and back into it like
a baby into a kettlo of mush;
but ask liko a man. Htart in bus-
iness before you are old enough to
bo a grandaddy. Find out early in
life if you are fit for anything, wear
your suspendors crossed behind,
have a minfi pf yopr own, stick to
your shop, and in ten years you
will be on tho sure road to fortune,
and the groat work of life becomes
easy aftor that. Don’t stay at home
till you sour, but get out iritb the
w^jijd and stretch your legs. Pitch
in and in nine times out of ten you
will succeed. Hang book, and (he
world will niove away from you.
