OA. 8 ■Mliiii IT Contains a wider range Information than any Single worh ever Published* YOU CAN GET IT, GIRL George W. CMtds. Great lives always leave great lessons for the young, Such a life as that of George W. Childs leaves many a lesson. A few lines which Mr. Childs wrote last Christmas are deserving of note: f "On# of my first recollections of Christmas J Day Is, having no sled with which to enjoy tha 1 frost-Covered ground, tor we had frost and snow on Christmas when l was a boy, and l made up my mind that before the next Christmas arrived I should have one. And I had and without iny one giving It to me either, as I had both famed and saved the : money with which 1 bought It. “And If a lesson can be drawn from a single Incident In my boyish Christmas, It Is that any boy who Is determined to succeed will do so if he keep hlsalm constantly before him and neglect no legitimate means toward J Gaining His End "When I was a boy I made up my mind j to be rich, and I also made up my mind that when 1 should be a man I would give Christinas presents to every one ! knew. If I have not been able to accomplish my resolva It has not been for lack of will.- 1 can truthfully say that tha happiest week In each year of my Ufa Is the on6 which directly precedes Christmas, when 1 feel that 1 am able to send presents to about two thousand people whom I know and feel are perfectly deserving of them.” Mr. Childs' natural endowments were perhaps no greater than those of thousands of boys, who started out In life with him, but whose names have never been known outside of their own lltfie circle of Immediate friends. The Difference Was J that Mr. Childs had a definite purpose; ^ Wealth and Philanthropy; and see how straight he steered to his mark. The boys who had equil talents, but whose names the world hqs never heard, had no deflnlfa plan of life; they simply had a vague Imprtsslon that the world owed them a living, and so they • stumbled along through life with the hope / that somehow, sometime, somewhere they might perhaps stumble unto fortune or fame; I but they never did; fortune and fame are not J found that way. It was this definite purpose that enabled Childs, who began life as a poor boy, to | purchase the Public Ledger when it was > losing $150,000 a year, and make of it a property that pays Si,000 a day. His fame at a liberal giver to all worthy charities Is world wide. — . . j If Mr. Childs were a boy now he would be j among tne first to take advantage of The Constitution's Encyclopaedia offer, for boys of his mettle never miss such an opportunity to better their chances for Success in Life If you want success in life you must have • disciplined mind, and there is no mental discipline like the self-acquired habit of Investigation, With Brltannlca In your home you can follow to a positive solution every question that may com*- up. provided it Is i within the scope of Human understanding.
