When he loves his own plans and In terests . ore than humanity. V\ >en he does not try to make hie work a little better each day. When his friends like him for what he has more than for what he is. When he knows that he is In the wrong, but is afraid to admit it. When he is so busy doing that he has no time for smiles and cheering words. When he is so burdened by his busi ness that he finds no time for rest or recreation'. When he envies others because they have more ability, talent or wealth than he has. When he lets a day go by without making some one happier and more comfortable. When -he values wealth above health, self respect and the good opin ion of others. When he becomes so absorbed in his work that he cannot say that life is greater than work. When he dees not care what hap pens to his neighbor or to his friend so long as he is prosperous. HOW TO GET TH EHE It pays to be liked and one likes to be paid. --* Pity that man who believes we work to live! Today it's the man ?hat counts most, not the experience. Success in business depends upon the mau seeking success. Like the work you have to do or have the work you'd like to do! The laws of nature will all work man's advancement if he will work with the laws. The business world is a glorious place in which to live; and work is joy if we will have it so. The more successful one Is, the more one is glad to work; the more one works, the more successful one ls. Smiles are schock absorbers thaw* help one to ride comfortably over the ' ruts of business on the road to suc cess. The man who underestimates him self is generally underestimated by the world; the man who overestimates himself may fool the world for a time, but sooner or later will be found out. SOME OLD SAWS RE-SET. A dollar saved is a dollar not loaued. Long dresses cover a multitude of flat feet. Truth is stranger, with some people, than their rich relatives. Some men are not overly ambitious to be either right or president. American Indians believe that the brave do not always attain what's fair. Straw hats, windmills and skirts show which way the wind is blowing. . Full many a belle is prone to blush unseen, unless you gaze behind her fau. There's many a shaft at random sent hits hardest the man who pays the rent. The early bird would not be reward ed for his thrift if the worm wasn't . first on the job. He who frequently looks upon the c wine when it is red is likely to find his 1 nose in the same condition. 1 "All the world's a stage" and all the people merely players, but there are . more property men than stars. I -g FAMOUS OLD-TIME PUNS 1 The Romans were said to urn their dead, but we earn our living. Observing on a board the warning, "Beware the Dog," Thomas Hood wrote, "Ware be the dog?" _ .# Sidney Smith, hearing a boy read of patriarchs as partridges, declared, "It is too bad to make game of them." Dean Ramsey tells of a soaked Scotch minisf ? who was rubbed down at the kirk and told he need not fear; he would be dry enough when he got into the pulpit. "Call that a kind man, a man who ls away from his family and never sends them a farthing! Call that kind ness?'' "Tes, unremitting kindness," Jer rold replied.
