THE COUNTRY BOY WINS
Why The Country-Raised Boy
With Ambition Rises in
The World.
A country hoy’s luck of oppor
tunity is his best equipment for
the serious struggle of life. This
sounds paradoxical, but it is true.
It is just as true as the opposite
proposition, that the greatest
hindrances a city hoy has to con
tend with f»re the opportunities
which beset him when young and
pursues him till lie begins the
real business of life—a business
which each individual must carry
on for himself. For the city hoy
everything is made as easy as pos
sible. Every pleasure becomes
to him an old story before he is
out of his teens. Brought up in
the feverish rush of a place where
great things are happening day
by day, he sees the world with a
cynic’s eyes and despises the
small things which, like the brick
in a house, go to the upbuilding
of characters and careers, lie
believes in using large markers
in the game of life; for pennies
and small units of value he has
little taste and scant legat'd.
I lie conditions surnmnemi; t tie i
country boy are ns different ns I
possible. There ia great deal
ot regular work that every coun

larity of employment, mostly out
of doors, inculcates industrious!
hat.its, while it contributes to a
physical development which in
after years is just as valuable as
any athletic training that can he
had. 11“ cannot inn as fast, per
haps, as those trained by a sys
tem ; lie may not be aide to jump
so high or so far, or excel in any
of the sports upon which we be
stow so much time and from
whi li we get so much t f pleasure,
but bis development enables him
to buckle down to the hard work
i i which Imurs are Consumed and
from which very little or no im
mediate pleasure is extracted. His
stieegtli may by something like
that of the cart horse, but the
cart Imt'se is to be preferred
where a long and steady pull is
laajuired. The thoroughbred race
horse has a tine tliulit of speed
and canters with delightful light
lies; mid grace along the park
bridle- paths, but the heavy work
is the work most in demand, and
for that we want ttie draft ani
mals every time.
Enthusiasm is the spur to en
deavor, and at the same time it is
the savor ot life, says Brandur’s
Magazine. The country boy
whose ambition has taken him to
town comes filled with enthu
siasm. Even the tire little things
are novelties to him, and as he
accomplishes this or that he feels
that he is doing something not
only interesting, but valuable.
His simple tastes have not been
spoiled by a multiplicity of gruti
j lications, and so he is glad of
I everything good that comes Ins
way. At 30, if he leads a clean
life, he has more of the boy in
him than his city cousin has left
at 15. He does what is before
him because it is his duty, while
| the other is too apt cynically to
question the value of doing any
thing and ask, “What is the
I use.”
Of the men who have achieved
great prominence and high in
fluence in our affairs of state, the
country hoys are at least twenty
to one over the city lads. Nowa
days indeed, out cynical city lads
look upon men who take an act
ive interest in public affairs as
rather low fellows and quite be
neath their association and notice.
But the country hays are at the
' top in other lines of endeavor. In
finance they are pre-eminent, and
the great hank presidents today
i m the great cities nearly all learn
i ed to read and to c plier in coun
try schools, where birch and fe
rule had not succumbed to the
I civilizing influences of scientific
pedagogy. Our gieat railways
i were in the main built by them,
] and today the administration of
these great com panic#.are in great
: measure from farm and country
villages, from places where work
begins in early infancy, and a
sense of duty developed while
| still the lisp of childhood lingcr
| ed.
Some city boys, however, arc
of such sturdy stuff, and endow
ed with such natural gifts, that
j they succeed by reason of their
inherent superiority : others sue
i ceed abundantly because they
have used their opportunities
wisely, and in real life have per
illed the same course which en
ables so many country boys to
win fame and fortune. The more
| honoi to them for having surviv
ed their top great opportunities.
But the country boy when he
comes to town reaches out for the
high places; though not all lind
seals of the mighty, nearly all of
the exalted stations are filled in
the end by men of country birth
and country rearing, tor they
! usually start out with the sound
theory that what is worth having
is worth working for.

Women Need
a constant supply of blood-making ma
terial or their systems will break down.
The complicated female organism is
so delicately adjusted as to he easily
thrown out of balance. As a result,
health and strength are affected by
divers diseases. Motherhood, family,
society all levy such drains upon her
strength that most women break under
the nervous tension. The demands
upon her nervous strength are much
greater than similar demands of the
opposite sex. Hence she must be sup
plied in greater measure with the ele
ment—iron—that gives strength. The
reason women feel tired and worn out
and suffer from headache, pains in the
back and limbs, etc., is because they
have used up their supply of iron.
Menstruation trouble is largely caused
by lack of iron.
Dr. Harter’s

supplies this element. It enriches the
blood and restores what strain has
used up.

women, and those troubled with nerv

A LETTER FROM TEXAS
Two Former Newark Boys Visit
the Texas State Fair and
See Historic Places.
Bettie, Tex., Sept. 30, 1902
Editor Newark Journal.
On Saturday, Sept.., 27, Oscar
Williford and the writer boarded
an excursion train at Bettie, bound
for Dallas, Tex., where the state
fair was being- held. The first
town of importance we passed, af
ter Gilmer, was Tyler, which is
the county seat of Smith county.
Tyler contains 10,000 inhabitants
and some of the noted men of the
state have lived there, among them
being ex-Governor Hubbard, who
died there last year. Ex-Senator
Horace Chilton resides there at
present. The next town of im
portance we passed was Athens,
the county seat of Henderson
county. Next was Corsieannia,
county seat of Navarro county.
Corsicania contains 13,000 inhabi
tants and is the home of ex-Sena
tor Roger Q. Mills. At this tow n
we changed cars. Not making con
nection, we lay over here Saturday
night. Sunday morning at 6 o’
clock we boarded the train and ar
rived at Dallas, the metropolis of
Texas, at 9 o’clock. Dallas claims
a population of 05,000. It is the
county seat of Dallas county and is
situated on the Trinity river. I
expected to see a large river, but
it is not much larger than Dota
creek. Dallas is the home of sev
eral noted men of Texas, among
them being ex-Governor and pres
ent Senator Culberson, who for
merly lived at Gilmer, and is one
of the state board of examiners.
After arriving at Dallas we took
refreshments and then boarded a
street car for the fair ground. 1
shall not attend to describe what
we saw after entering the fair
grounds; space will not permit. 1
have mentioned briefly a few things
in connection with the towns and
will now give a brief sketch of the
country. A short while after leav
ing Tyler the lofty pines began to
disappear and for a short distance
we had a country timbered with
scrubby oak, elm, etc. Near Cor
sican ia we struck the prairies. The
prettiest country we saw was in
Ellis county, 12 or 15 miles east of
Waxahachie. Cotton on the pra
iries is short and corn is a com
plete failure.
Well, Mr. Editor, as I intend to
move back to old Arkansas in a
few weeks, I will not write any
more; 1 can tell you orally better
than 1 can write it. With best
wishes for all, I remain,
Yours truly, B. F. Cash.
