No wiser remark was over made By
Dr.. BENJAMIN Franklin than q. severe
sentence which he once uttered TO Z
young man who had an appointment
with him and missed it Next day the
young man came, and began TO make
u very fluent excuse TO the doctor for his
absence the day before.
''Stop!" said Franklin. "You have
said too much already, my good boy,
for the man who Is good at making an
excuse is seldom good at anything
else"
An easy excuse made by delinquent
for nat error or failure to do duty
seldom, indeed, softens the heart OF
an employer or superior. or course an
account OF the reasons for failure
should be given when a demand for
them IL made, but they should be
given simply and briefly, and without
any attempt TO make the case appear
any better than the plsinest statement
OF the facts make it.
A youth who is beginning q round OF
duties In any place which has any re.
sponsibilitics may as well make up his
mind that his employer will look with
some disfayor. II not with suspicion,
ipon his explanation OF failures.
He must be perfectly honest about
hem, and never slow to admit hl
mistakes. And there are few employ.
ers who are not willing to allow be.
Iginner a liberal number Of blunders
and failures as a part OF his education.

clares that spanking must be given up

huence OF twice breathed air; or stand

Hes,then PRAYER RuRs.

No woman is happy nowadays unless
she can say her prayers on a real bona
fide prayer rug-one that has been
used for centuries by some heather
Turk. who was doubtless kneeling on
it when Peter the Hermit breathed
anathemas against them, and Richard
the Lion Hearted Glove them with his
good sword. The incongruity Of tho
thing does not seem TO strike these
pretty nineteenth century christians.
One Of them--a very rich one. II
goes without saying has a rug which
she prizes very highly. because of the
mystic design OF four horses heads
worked in it. These are symbolic OF
the four horses that carried Mohammed
through the air on his famous journey
to Mecca. York World.
