Self-made Men and the Shaping of History
A reflective essay argues that world leaders arise from humble origins rather than noble birth. It asserts that founders, captains, artists, and reformers often emerge from the forge of ordinary life, not dynastic lines, and that individuals shape circumstances as much as they are shaped by them.

Self made men and the path to success in law and life
In this discourse on opportunity and merit, the text argues that law cannot prevent accidents and that individuals achieve through necessity and effort. It cites self made success, contrasts education with personal drive, and notes that the 20th century will favor sons of workers who struggle to enter the strait gate. Legal notices announce estate executors for John D. Sheer and Harriet Murray with appointment dates. Railway timetable lines advertise trains eastward via Lake Shore route with connections to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
