In domestic affairs where personal
comfort and happiness are concerned, all
other interests seem Insignificant anc
are OF little moment or consequence,
and no one can afford to consider them
lightly.
There is magic in the word "home"
which has no equal or counterfeit; WA9n
We recall the old homestead, aud It's
many ties, one cannot question its bear
ing upon every day life, or the influence
it has had in IN liking lives successful or
otherwise. Every pleasant home, where
each indiv dual member OF the house
hold does his orher share towards main
tanning a happy condition, 10 q strong
factor in the success OF civilization.

which, il properly fostered, would pro-
duce harmony and strength TO regist the
tempeste OF life, as the tree fully devel-
oped in root and limb successfully
weathers the storms which threaten to
overthrow it. Young people starting
out on the journey OF life build great
variety OF castles in the air, covered
with banners proclaiming auccegs, and
in their zeal and activity cannot realize
that failure 10 possible. They cannot
learn to accept the experience OF others
as their guide, or profit by it.
The young man or woman who has the
capacity and opportunity to acquire
knowledge and experience in any spe.
cial liHe OF business or in any profession,
coupled with energy ard determination,
is entitled to success; but those who
have not only this gift, but who also can
learn to take such accomplishments out
into the world and place them promi-
nently before the market places. so as
to display to the best advantage their
value, like other articles OF merchan-
disc, can be safely guaranteed against
failure. The market Is never over
stocked with goods OF this grade, espe-
cially if they are genuins. reliable and
fully up to any high standard. Dealers
in merchandise cannot hope to be sue
cessful by only renting or building
storerooms and advertising, or by plac-
ing lines of attractive samples in show
windows; they must nave desirable
goods as represented; they ehould ask
the full market price for their wares
and earnestly strive to make a reasona-
BILE profit in every transaction, otherwise
they must come under suspicion of
the idea that they were obtained in
some unbusinesslike way. When in
possession OF really fine line OF goods,
judicious advertising is commendable
and will bring large returns.
First, be sure to secure something
worthy OF desirable before attempting to
| find g customer, else failure is inevita-
BILE.
People who make elaborate plans or
develop wonderful schemes are quite
numerous, but those who carry out and
execute are few, principally because
they do not fully understand what they
are trying to do or consider how they are
to do it.
Carlyle truly says: "The most unhap-
by OF all men 10 the man who cannot tell
what he is going to do; who has got no
work cut out for him in the world, and
does not go into it."
Success and failure are synonymous
with care and worry. Care is the real.
ization OF responsibility worry the an
ticipation of disaster. Phillips Brooks
tersely says: "a man without care, a
man without anxiety or responsibility,
degenerstes into another brutehood like
that out of which be came before he
knew how to care. Care is like q great
sea on whose food ships are 'riven for
ward to their destination; W ~ is like
| the chattering. unrnly, fitful movement
OF the same sea as it gnaws and growls
away upon the shore it washes. Blessed
be care and cursed b9 worry"
This sentiment is worthy of hearty in
| dorsement; none can hope to perma-
nently succeed without assuming their
share OF this burden OF care or responei-
bility, and disregsrding the dark phan-
toms resulting from worry.
Creation, existence and the journey
through life, might be considered in
many respecta like the location, con.
structon and operation of railways.
The reason for location is puzzle which
may never be explained; it is doubtful
if it can be. Some lines follow fertile
valleys and the joyous singing brooks on
easy grades, apparently keeping in the
sunshine, enjoying the comforts of civ.
ilization, never crossing the broad rivers
until they fully come to them, and then
making such crossings as direct as pos.

mountains of rock or earth, and finally
joining other similar roads at some
common junction where competition
and association keep all lines in pleas.

Evidently such lines were located
purely as a business proposition. with
view of securing more revenue than il
