BOYS THAT SUCCEED.
They Are Always Willing to Do More
Than They Are Told.


ga new boy came into our Office to-

chant to his wife at the supper-table.
''He was hired by the firm at the re-
quest of the senior member, who
thought the boy gave promise of good
things. But 1 feel sure that boy will
be out of the Office in less than week. "
"What makes you think sop
because the first thing he wanted to
know was just exactly how much he
was expected to do"
Perhaps you will change your mind
about him"
perhaps 1 SHALL" replied the mer-
chant, ''but don't think so.'
Three days later the business man
said to his wife: about that boy you
remember 1 mentioned two or three
days ago. Well, he is the best boy that
ever entered the store"
