MAKING A MAN. fore gathering time will roll around, the crop of candidates being already planted in Texas seems to be unusually large for the season. ANOTHER GOOD EVENING. Under the above brief heading, the Texas Stockman and Farmer shows that it is capable of giving good advice upon more subjects than that of farming and stock- raising, when it says: is too prevalent a notion that great men are born, uot made. Not so.

Every great man has been made by his own effort or those of a great man has been made by his own efforts or those of a great mother or some other influential guardian in youth. Genius is seldiotn transmitted in families, and only then because the boy has the stuff in him to rise above the flattery and homage paid him because of his great father or mother. Do not mistake notorv greatness. Because a man has become a millionaire it is not necessarily so that he is a great eharaeter. Some of the wealthy men have lately fallen from the pedestal of fume because they lacked the inner qualities that make strong characters.

There is no place where so many great men are made as on the farms. It is because they inherit the qualities that fit them for great things that the farm boys have made such an impress upon the world through finance, trade or professional life. We give credit to the sterling worth of the fathers of the farms, but cannot credit inheritance with much of the success that attends the fuim boy in the walks of life. Greatness is a growth. What becomes of the freak boy orators, boy preachers, boy musicians, etc.

They drop out of sight when they grow up. Like the too forward flowers of spring, they get nipped by the frost, while genius that grows through hard work is tempered to the winds of adversity and is hardy. No one should be proud of an over-smart child. No effort should be made to push such a GQQ to the front.
