and We may say girls, too, complain be-
cause there is no chance for them. NO
place for me-" They seem 10 be unable
to secure places. For them il Is hard
10 ind anything 10 DO. Perhaps it IA
hard 10 get Just such places, aud such
work as they would like. That is not
the point, however. When you secure
place--and there are plenty of them,
and there is work for every wiling
mind and ready hand; this is a great
big country, and we are sure il has
need of every good boy and girl, yes,
every man and woman in 1t. when
you get the place, il becomes your duty
to make yourselves useful IN il, make
yourself necessary TO your employers,
make yourselves so necessary by your
good work, your fidelity and good be-
hayior, that they cannot do without
you, but let them be the judges of your
worth. They are older, have had more
experience, and thus are better able to
judge of values. Do not try to run
your employers business the second
day you are with him; don't dictate to
him, but, instead, do as you are bid to
do.
BE willing TO take low place at first,
no matter what the work. If it is honest
work. Do it cheerfully, do 1t we'll, do
the very best you know how, and try to
do better every day and everywhere.
Begin at the lowest rung of the ladder,
and climb up, one by one, instead of
trying to jump from the lower to the
top. BY going slow, but sure you will
not fall dangerous distance. The
great want everywhere is faithful,
capable, honest workers. Such help is
never a drug in the market. Make
yourselves wanted, and there viii
always be place for you, and good
one, too. Look not too much for
faults in your employer, but rather give
more time in looking for the faults IN
yourselves, and when found, correct
them at once.
You must know your faults. Locate
the disease, then administer proper
remedy. "know thyself," is an ex-
cellent maxim to follow. Cultivate
ability to think, to do. to express your
thoughts in clean, clear, terse Ian
guage. Let the same be forcIble and
to the point. Do everything IN that
way.
Employ your leisure moments IN
study. Review your lessons quite fire.

thought and care, will become of dou-

thing, no matter how small. Cultivate
a love for natures beauty. Attend
strictly to your own business, and you
will have ali that you can well attend
to. Do not defame, nor SANDER your
associates, nor your honest competi-
tors in business. To do so is cowardly.
Build character, for character is the
stream of life! Character grows, if en-

use every day you live. Have faith
have courage. Avoid doing the things
which are unmanly and unwomanly.
Be careful of what you say. Guard
your conversation, SO that no one can
place misconstruction on what you say
and use the same against you. greatly
to your disadvantage.
