A DAILY MESSAGE
WHOSE FAULT IS IT? Tine explorers made their way over the .Hluo Mountains when- they were a wilderness. Cook found Australia without direetions from anybody. Cobh pushed Iris coaches out through the hush without a road map. Shackle-toil found the Pole without the aid of finger-posts or sign-hoards. Vet the fellow you are wilding out on the road to-morrow will probably want to know : “How do T get there? "Whom do I see? What do .1 sav to him?” And then he'll have the nerve to spend some more of your time, to send in a detailed report telling you why he could not do any business; to which with a touch of sardonic humour, he will probably attach a little debit note: “To extra ■expenses, £l, for entertaining prospects.” And when that fellow drops down among the unemployed, his mates will hear a lot of stuff about fate, luck, and opportunity. But, I suppose, it’s natural to blame oneself last. —M. PBESTON STANLEY!
