Boys. he Systematic.

No great work was ever accomplished
without system. Did you ever stop to
consider how much time is lost in this
world for lack Of system? A house,
keeper will for lack Of sysi em fool away
the morning hours and dinner time
comes before the breakfast dishes sre
washed. simply because half dozen
things are under way ut the same time,
and no one thing accomplished. Yon

know ought to have plenty OF leisure,
why he did not do snch and such
thing. only to be answered: II didn't
have time" Why did he not have tirne1
He was idling with few friends, may
be, telling stories or what may be
worse. doing nothing, and before lie is
aware Of it his spare tine was up-it
had been wasted. You have no idea
how much work can he accomplished in
day il there is only system aad appli-
cation. A few nome nts work at a Ger.
tain time each day on some special Oh
iect will accomplish that object before
the worker is fairly aware OF it. and at
the same time will not interfere with
the regular duties of the hour. Every
moment is precious and under somo
systematic plan can be utilized for bnsi-
ness or pleasure. The merchant WHO
does business in slip-shod way is not
the man who succeeds. The mechanic
who only works to kill time and lacks
system in what he does is the one WHO
always plods along in the same old Yut.
No matter how hard may be your work
it can be made much easier by taking
advantage of every minute Of time and
your operations according
to the time you have snd the work on
hand. You cant let up on job Legun
