THE GREENWOOD LEDGE Vfj 71 fycplc who wcuti ttk iWiq fat iui %d9lo-st Olange Sttm Jea Napoleon's Cane Sold Was An Age of Opportunity Occasionally young i.poplc of today aro heard deploring what they'aro pleased to term tho fact, that in these times there are not the same opportunities available Tor amassing groat wealth, or of making*a big place for themselves ln the world, as was the ease fifty, seventy-live or one hundred years ago Thoy hold tho view that conditions which made it possible for a Rockefeller, a Vnnderbllt, au Astor in the United States, or a Massey or Timothy Eaton lu Canada to lay tlvo foundations of great businesses and accumulate fortunes for themselves and families no longer exist, and. that they must perforce remain the servants and. employees of others. Those are mere excuses to cover up their own deficiencos, lack of initiative and energy. Those who make such excuses are invariably of the type who .ire jfuite unwilling to.endure the,hardships and perform the long and arduous work which was inseparable from the early years of the men of a few generations ago who laid the foundation for the great successes of which these youthful pessimists of today.are envious. The truth is that in no previous era in the world's history were there as many and as promising opportunities for young men and women as are ���presented to them today. Tho trouble is that, too often, the-youth of today -jvants the pleasures and. luxuries of success without being willing to first undergo the sacrifices ancl self-denials through which success can be won. They are impatient of the day of small things, of the slow but gradual building-up process. Tliey demand' the impossible,���immediate success without effort and arduous labor. '���.*.��� For the earnest, painstaking worker/possessed of Initiative and courage, the present is Indeed an age of golden opportunities. Present day business fairly teems with examples of astounding successes achieved within the short .space of a few years. Just to mention one such example. It Is only twenty-five years since the now well known Gillette Safety Razor Co. was formed with the ���insignificant capital of thirty dollars. Today its-paid-up capital stock has'a market value of two hundred million dollars. The 51 razors sold in 1903 have grown to a total of I4.862.09S in 1925, while the sale of-a mere 14 packets of blades in J903-increased to 52,983,533 packets in 1925. The Company has paid cash dividends aggregating $34,497,691. What a romance 'in business iu this present century- ��� ��� ' ������. ' .'���'.��� The automobile within the same space of time has revolutionized our modes of living, has created scores of multi-millionaires and made Henry yordi.'.the world's wealthiest individual. Within The last half dozen years the radio has come into practical use opening new .Ileitis of employment and ad-, vancement and wealth for hundreds and thousands of wide-awake enterprising men. ,.".-.'.-��� How cau anyone think, much less declare, tliat the day of great opportunities is past and gone? Great as have been tlie discoveries and developments of the past, the present is even more prolific nnd promising; Hho opportunities are vastly-greater. The youth of today is. let it be emphasized, living in a golden age of opportunity with possibilities open to him unsurpassed, undreamed of, a; couple of generations ago. - ���Not. only so, but the world today is not so skeptical, of now ideas-! and Inventions, and the man with an innovation gets A hearing aud a chance to demonstrate, his* plans, where in former yea ry he had to do battle against prejudices ami an ultra-conservatism which found expression in open and bitter opposition. 7 Where not so long ago a young man without .'position or money had a long, bitter, uphill fight to obtain recognition, today* he-is given every chance to make good, and *���"�� he fails the fault lies largely with himself, or the impracticability of his ideas, and. not in the reception accorded him by an eager nnd progressive world. He is not denied his opportunity to make good; the great difliculty is'that so many do not see, or, seeing,'fail to grasp the opportunity at their hand. *,���*"* There are slill undeveloped fields of endeavor awaiting ambitious youth just, as great with promise as were tho unknown spaces���*of the .United States in the first, half of the nineteenth-century, or in Canada in the years when the Fathers of.Confederation dreamed their practical dream of a Dominion stretching from the Atlanllc to the Pacific and the pioneers first began the task of developing the prairies of the West. Carved By a Soldier After the Battle of Areola Napoleon's cane has been purchased by a Trieste antiquary for 45,- 000 lire. The cane had been cut from a red wortle-berry tree by ono of Bonaparte's soldiers after the battle of Areola; Into the handle the artistic guardsman liad skilfully cut the features or his general rwlth several episodes of the recent battle. The finished product he then presented to Napoleon, who carried the cane continually while he remained at Areola.

THE TIRED OUT WOMAN _ . ��� 7 ���- Needs the Help of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to Regain Strength No mother should allow nervous weakness to get the upper hand of her; if she, does worry will mar her work in the home, and torment her in mind and body.

EAGLE BRAND , Condensed Milk A 17-26 Family Life On The Amazon Returned Explorer Gives Many interesting Facts About Natives Dr. William McGovern, the explorer and anthropologist, who recently returned to London after spending a year on the Amazon searching for hitherto undiscovered tribes, came across natives who had only heard of white men., Some were civilized tribes with culture, and had a political and religious organization of their own. Others' were so wild and primitive.that they had no houses, could not even swim, dug up roots for their nourishment, and only showed themselves higher than the-animals'by their use of fire.. Dr. McGovern say's some of the natives he visited think nothing of living 200 or 300 in one huge room. The centre of the room Is used as a sort of common drawing-room, and the various families live on "allotments" all round, the family allotment being big enough to contain a.central firo'aha the necessary number of hammocks to sleep in.

Provinces Should Co-Operate Diversity in Laws Work Injustice in Many Ways Tho nine provinces of Canada must develop the mind to co-operate with one .another if Confederation is to bo the success it ought to be and cau bc. This holds true in respect to overcom- . ing certain evils..that take advantage of our divided provincial authority, and mako use of one province as a basis from which to operate in a sis- . ter province. But it i.s also true in respect to' other matters; for example, succession duties. Here is-a mat- tor in which the provinces must come together in order to remove a gross injustice which obtains ao-the pres- ent time. There is a great diversity ' of succession duty laws in'the various provinces, but tho worn feature is that an heir to an estate may have to Pay succession duties in two provinces on the same property. Another matter is the registration of bonds. .The Canadian National bonds are. registered in Montreal only/so that a person falling heir to any of these, bonds must pay succession duties o'n them iu thc Province of Quebec as well as iu the province whero ihe legator died. All t ljiis sort of double taxation makes for injustice and does not help to make Canada a,bettor laud iu which to live, or even a more desirable land in which to die. Life Has Two Faces if Side People Use Only External Individuality'is Blunted Life has two faces���one turned out, the other turned in. Our work, most of tho activities connected witli the task of getting a living, the common run of -our daily movements ��� are affairs of the oustide, usually. But our feelings, our emotions, our imaginations, our thought (insofar as it pertains to individuality rather than to routine)/ these are affairs of the inside of life. - By keying the whole self to externals we get speedily out of. pitch with the internals. And it is these we really live by. These count most, present or absent. Soon, if this continues, tlie sensitiveness of. our individuality is blunted. It may even become atrophied. Then we are dead instruments; violins without a tone. To change the figure, we aro content with life on one cylinder when we hare many others We rfiight use. ��� Boston Globe.
