Don't Worry,

BE contented. my son. You need not
be satisfied with what you are; you
don't want to live without ambition; so
long as you live, strive to be something
better and higher and stronger to-mor-
row than you are to-day, but don't wor.
ry; don't fret. Wear your ready-made
clothes with the air of prince, until
you can do better; eat your Twenty-Five
cent dinner with the manner of a man
who is accustomed to fare sumptuously
every day on course dinners, and likes
this sort of thing for change. Keep
the sunshine in your heart and it will
shine out of your face. The world is
always grateful to sunny-tempered
man, just because he is good
enough and gracious enough to
live in it. Laugh, my son, if your stom-
ach is so empty that you cannot tell
whether your pain is in your liver or
your backbone; wear your hat jauntily
if it is so full of holes that you can't see
the grease and weather stains that cover
it; speak cheerily, though you have to
wear your overcoat every time your
shirt goes to the laundry. 1t won't be
an easy thing to do Ri ht along; the
days will COME when good induf gence
in the "blues" would seem like Para
disc; there will be hours when you
would rather swear than laugh, when
you would rather growl and wall than
look pleasant; there will be times when
in spite of your strength and manhood
and good resolutions, you will 20 away
by yourself and groan and bury your
face in your hands and cry like girl;
know it, son. But don't make a habit
OF it, and don't let any one see you do
it. 1t is dangerous luxury, son, and
should only be INDUCED in at very long
intervals and on rare occasions. Guilt

apt, in concerted music, to double .
part, and betrays prediction for the
"leading BUSINESS" but, being gifted
with quick ear, he soon recognizes
the desirability Of filing up the notes
wanting to complete the chords, and
adapts himself to harmonic require

of the wealth of the body: One of $780,

that not single one OF these wealthy

however is nearly twice as great in this
country as in Great Britain, and the
number of newspapers sent through the
mails is seven times as great, while the
number forwarded through the express
agencies is supposed to largely ex
