aehtng to give honor and fame to he noes and heroines. In my travels I almost hourly come In contact with men and women who say to me: • "What's the use? There Is no longer any chance to rise above the com -Bon herd. There Is no show for me.' ~ "My friends, you have read of Cicero! What was he as a young man? Ho wore hickory shirts and overalls and one suspender. He split rails for ' BO cents a day. He dug potatoes and hoed corn, and at twenty-two he had never attended a circus. A tin peddler could have worked a five dollar coun- ' terfelt bill off on him as easily as a cow kicks over the milk pall. Other ' young men called him "Sissy." and time \ and again hla father told him that be would never amount to a hlU of beans. "But Cicero knew his gait He knew that all things come to him who waits. |He was content to wait until tils time came. It was years -Coming to him, as 1 It may be to you. but when It came he ] was ready to grasp It.. A bull got loose : and took after a school ma 'urn walking ' along the highway, and Cicero butted ' In. He seized that bull by the horns 1 and twisted bis neck and heaved the ' palpitating body over the fence, and ' In a day he was famous. From thence ' on he began to climb, and you who ' are familiar with his history know to what heights he attained— a hero, an orator, a philosopher, -a scholar. And it all came about because he was ready to seize his opportunity when !t ' came to Urn. He wasn't sitting down ' beside a "straw stack and saying th»* ( .World no longer gave folks a, chance. j Nero as a Youth. t "Who was Nero as a youth? Old | Hero and his wife were pumpkin poor ] They wefe as •shiftless and lazy as growing squashes. They hadn't the ambition to steal chickens. Nero grew up barefooted and tow beaded. He j had more appetite than clothes. There , didn't seem to be one chance In a ( thousand that, he would ever keep out • of jail, but he felt that opportunity , had something up Its sleeve for blm. And so It did have. Nero was only fifteen years old when one day a great man's chariot came along the , highway with the horses on the rua , «nd beaded straight for the mil! pond | Young Nero didn't wait to ponder nnd . wonder aod figure It out Be sprang forward and seized one of the horse* and brought the runaway to a stand still, and the big man In the chariot | piled out to take him In hla anna and j weep tears of gratitude. What followed? He tells you. Nero fought apd fiddled his way to the top, and * when he went down at last the crash t was heard all around the world. 8up pose he had aat on the fence and declared that the world waa done with harosat •There are women in Utls audience who have read of Joan of Arc and Lu eresla Borgia and Charlotte Oorday 1 Not ooe.of those females amounted to shucks at .the age bf twelve. Tbej were simply sitting around with theli rag dolls and chewing gum. If aag 1

I man or woman had predicted that they wonld "make history later on, the pre- j dieters would have been laughed at Miss Borgia In particular was looked upon as a chomp, and It was not until , her opportunities began coming that 1 any one went out of bis way to pat her on the bead end say bow smart she was. Women, you cannot do what Joan or Charlotte did— not right now— but any one. of you can go home and . become a Borgia and make a name for yourself. "I see before me your village cooper. He eoofc>e because be thinks It the beat thing he can do at present but does It tollow that be is always gvmg to coop? Far from It He Is simply waiting for opportunity to come. It will come, and tf he Is ready for U no one can tell the heights to which tie will climb. What the opportunity ,*"111 be is beyond our ken. He may start his career by lick- 1 tag a windmill man or knocMng the horns off a kicking cow. Demosthenes, as history tells us. was waiting his opportunity and wondering how it would coma when an old goat bunted him off the fence aod started a train of philosophy that stopped not until all the world had beard of blm. T see among yon a farmer's hired man. He la working for 825 per and board and mending. As be follows the plow he wonders if be will ever be any greater— If fame and riches will ever be his. It la a discouraging outlook, and yet bow did Socrates begin? He was a swineherd, and there did not Seem one chance In a' thousand that he would ever get beyond bogs. He wasn't half asleep, but very wide awake, when opportunity came along, and be waa quick to setae It "I see among my audience a hired girl. Her duties are to wash, scrub, bake, cook. Iron and fifteen or twenty other thlqgs. She hasn't the slightest hope that the futurv will bring ber greatness, but who can tell? She must wait and see and get up at 4 o'clock In the morning while waiting. The occasion may arise for another Charlotte C-orday. and If so let the young woman be ready. World Wants Harass. "My friends, the world wants heroes and heroines today just as much as It did when the boy stood on the burning deck, and It Is as ready to grant them fame and renown. And I further tell you that the opportunities are just as numerous. Do not be disheartened. Take my case as an illustration. At the age of twenty I had never had a two shilling pair of pink suspenders. I had gone barefoot all m.v life, and the only schooling I had was about two months a year. I didn't know enough to take off my hat to a cow. If any one had talked about Plato in my hearing I should have supposed the old chap was a hog driver. It was town talk that I was a lunkhead and a doughhead and that I didn't know enough to come In when If rained. "Yes, I waa all that at twenty und worse at twenty-five, and then opportunity came along. I was ready for her. 8be gave me the cue. aud two days later the shirt that opens In tne| back, the Q. Hope Jones shirt, wn- j Invented, and the world waa mine— j i from the farm to the rofctrum, from i : poverty to affluence, from noDeutlty ' to fame, from Q. Hope Jones the ! ' doughhead to Q. Hope Jones the man 1 who has given mankind the blessing of the centnr^. Despair not. but wait. It will come to you as It has come to me and others.
