They grow smaller and shallower as they flow on, losing themselves in the sand, which absorbs them until there is left only a ragged remnant of the beginning. N How many Pennsylvania oil wells, forty years ago, started with hurrahs, loud and many, that never produced more than a few barrels of oil, but caused ruin of fortunes for those who upon strong recom mendation bought shares in the companies organized to operate them! How many splendidly equipped young men we have known who began life with large promise, never got far and gradually sunk into oblivion in the sands of bad habits and reckless expenditures! The Rivers of Pride, Neglect, Extravagance, Dishonesty and Dishonor have swallowed up capital, good prospects and unrecoverable good names. But, fortunately, for our encouragement, every city has had its Marshall Fields, John V. Farwells, A. T. Stewarts, Benjamin Altaians, Amos Lawrences, Eben Jordans, Charles Custis Harrisons, Abraham Francis Hustons, Alexander Henrys and Andrew Carnegies. The old adage is still quite true, "There's plenty of room at the top." It is the top we started for, but the summit has been constantly rising higher and higher since we started in 1861. tSigned Sept IS, 1919.
