shall not enter far upon that field, but
conlinc myself to presenting, from Il

rules which, | believe, lilo ut tho root OF
business Successes. ~
Eirst-Nevcr enter q barroom. Do

moral crime; but suggest to you that

ing was formerly considered. As 1t is
practically abandoned now, so I believe
smoking will be.
CONCENTRATE.
Third-IIaving entered upon work,
continue in that line OF work. Fight it
out on that line Except in extreme
cascs), for it matters little what avenue
ayoung man finds first. Success can be
attained in any branch OF human labor.
There is always room attlic top in every
pursuit. Concentrate all your energy
and thought upon tho performance OF
your duties. Put MI your eggs in one
basket and then watch that basket, do

ufacturing companies, or who tries at
one and the sane time to work II farm,
4 factory, 4 line OF street cars, 4 political
party, and u store, rarely amounts to
much. He may be concerned in the
management OF more than one business
enterprise, but they should all DO OF the
one kind, which he understands. The
great successes OF life are made by con-
centration.
UPSET THE RULE OF Sinking.
Fourth-Do not think q man has
done his full duty when he has per-
formed the work assigned him. A man
will never rise ii he does only this.
Promotion from exceptional
work. y man must discover where his
employers interests can bc served be-
yond the range OF the special work al
lotted to him. and whenever he sces his
employers interests suffer, or wherever
the lattcr's interests can be promoted,
tell him go. Differ from your employer
upon what you think his mistakes.
You will never make much OF Il success
ii YOU do not learn the needs and oppor-
tunilies OF your own branch much bet
ter than your employer can possibly
do. You have been told to "obey or
dcrs il you break owners" Do no such
foolish thing. Ii your employer starts
upon 4 course which you think will
prove injurious, tell him SO, protest,
give your reasons. and stand to them
unless convinced you are wrong. 1t Is

SAVE A LITTLE MONEY.

a~little. Live within your means. The
