‘‘Has any person ever amassed a fortune by any other method than venturing in something not known to be sound? I think not. One man made himself the richest man in the world by undertaking to produce and market a car. Some speoulate in real estate, others mines, lumber, etc. Many ‘fall by the wayside‘‘ but some make good.

Now lift out the core, and most of the tough portion inside the peel will come with it.

My earning power is very small, due to the fact that I am partially paralyzed in all my limbs and my eduâ€" cation is limited to that which I seeurâ€" ed in an Ontario public school. By consistently practising most frugal habits I am able to save a little. Finâ€" ancial men of integrity frequently adâ€" vise me to put my small savings in a savings bank, then when I have accumualted enough to make it posâ€" sible, to buy government bonds or ether absolutely safe securities. _ I have figured it all out and I can see that there is no hope of ever being able to afford to live better than I do now without feeling that I may beâ€" come a dependent as a result, if I reâ€" ly on this ploiey. Therefore 8 years ago, I started to speculate, fully alive to the fact that I was running great risks. I have been losing, losing, losâ€" ing, ever since, but I still keep on, on the long chance that I may yet win big enough to free myself from the spectre of proverty and be able to inâ€" dulge myself in some of the luxuries that most folks consider necessities, such, for instance, as a car to give me greater mobility, instead of being confined to the few rods I can walk in a day with difficutly. man to gain by speculations?
