NEW YEAR THOUGHTS.
Labor the True key Of Success In 11fc-
Few Excellent Maxims.

Labor the True key OF Success In Lie
AFew Excellent Maxims.
Renewed feelings of ambition arc
synonymous with the opening Of the
new year. More resolutions are made
than at any other time, and as often arc
they alas! broken. But with some tho
resolutions made with the dawn Of .
new year have been carried through to
its close. Numerous lives of honor and
achievement can be traced to some de-
termination of purpose made upon an
occasion such as the frst day of the year
affords for fresh start in the journey OF
life. We all desire success; the prob
lem of life is it's winning. Every per-
son carries in his or her own hand the
key that unlocks either the door OF sue
cess or failure.
The true key of success is labor, and
it requires strong. resolute will to turn
it. 1t is hard, earnest work. step by
step, that insures success, and never was
this truth more potent than at the
present time. Positions of trust and
eminence are no longer secured at
single leap. Men and women have ceased
to succeed in a hurry. Occasionally
there will be an exception, but the in
stances are rare. Success, a writer has
said, is the child of confidence and perse-
verance, and never was the meaning of
a word more clearly defined. The secret
of many successful careers is the
thorough performance Of whatever has,
been undertaken.
An excellent maxim is that which
counsels us never to put our hands to
any thing into which we can not throw
our whole energies harnessed with the
very best of our endeavors. Persever-
ance is essential to success, since it is
often achieved only through a success
sion of failures. In spite of our best
efforts, failures are in store for the ma
jOrity of the race. IL remains, then, for
us all to do the best we can under all
circumstances, bearing in mind that
races are not always won by the swift
est feet nor triumph in battle secured
by the strongest arms. 1t is not SO much
the possession of swiftness or strength
as it is the right application of them by
which success is insured.
In starting out upon the journey of
life it is we'll:
First, to obtain every kernel of knowl-
edge within your reach.
Study people for the knowledge they
can impart to you.
Read books for what they can teach
you. Next, see what your temperament
best suits you for.
Mark your tendencies and apply them.
Be sure you have not mistaken your
calling.
Once certain, apply yourself to your
chosen work.
Then work hard, earnestly and inces-
sanity.
Don't consider any thing beneath you
Be patient, honest and pleasant in
manner.
Treat all persons alike, high or low.
Have smile for all, pleasant word
for everybody.
Success may not come at first, but it
will not be far of, and when it does
come it will be the sweeter for its delay.
