Back of all the tragedies ol modern life, the cutting ol the forests, the destruction of the live oaks, the pillaging of the soil, the destruction of natural resources, there is yet to be found some lonely survivors ol natural beauty, s.ich as graced this country some hundred year* ago.

What more capital has God given anybody? “But if I only had a few thousand in cash capital,’’ says the young man. But these are better than cash capital, for no one can take them front you, and with these you can earn cash. Our men of wealth and influence did not start with any cash capital. They went to work with their plow, the hoe, the jack plane or axe, and in time their capital brought them a rich harvest. Ah! but there’s the rub; you don’t want to work. You want money on credit ao you can play the gentle man, speculate and end your career by playing vagabond. You want to marry a rich girl who will support you, while you wear fine clothes, smoke cigats, and be a gentleman of leisure. Shame on you, young man! Go to work with the capital you have and you will soon make interest enough upon it to give you as much money as you need. If you cannot make money upon what capital you have, you could not if you had a larger amount in cash. If you waste your present capital you would waste money if you had it. So don’t stand around; a helpless fellow, waiting for something to turn up, but go to work. Take the first work you can get to do and do it wall. Always do your best, and if you manage your capital that God has given you well, you will soon have plenty more to manage.
