erected it is your own fault. You
had no common sense loafing
around your shop when you drew
the plans. There is no need Of
failure. No necessity to make
shipwreck Of your life is laid upon
you. 1t is foolishness and worse,
it is criminal to so charge. You
are responsible for yourself.
Fix it in your mind that your
work is the one work in which you
will best succeed. Do this only after
the greatest care in selecting it..
Having taken your place, stand by
it. Stick to it. Swear by 1t.
Study its advantages. Shut your
eyes to its disadvantages. Remem-
Der that your work is not only
what you make it but what you
think it. 1t will be a pleasure or a
palma noble occupation Of aidrudge-
ry, just as you will elect to re-
gard 1t. The more you exalt it In
your thought the more will it raise
itself in your estimation. You
will grow proud Of it, and it will
respond. Your thought will be
about it and hover over it and
possess it until it possesses you.
Then you and your work will be
one and the harmony will be COM
plete. Work will be pie asure and
success certain.
The man who harmonizes him
self with his work and takes his
job into his affections, not alone
for what he can make out oft, but
for what it can make out of him,
will not go loafing around looking
for another job. He will not spend
his time fruitlessly looking for a
round hole into which to stick his
square post. The world is full of
these fool fellows. They are the
laughing stock of all successful
business, the failures of the world,
the shuttlecocks of chance, the
sport of circumstance. Compassion
has only pity for them. The utili-
tartan world has no use f4r them.
They are simply left to etsgnate

strike twelve to succeed. Common
sense tells him that he must look
for the lower places, and thus faces
him away from inevitable failure.
Natural inclination, heredity, OPP
portunity, physical conditions,
temperament, all these must come
into the equation. No one, not
even a parent or a teacher, can de-
eide this important point for you.
but they can greatly aid in coming
to wise conclusion.
Old age or even middle age is not
the time to arrange for the work Of
life. Youth is the time Of prepare
ton. A proper start is worth
years of effort. You cannot afford
to waste time getting on the track.
Decision is one of the grandest
qualities that can be born into
man. II it is not so born it can to
a large extent be cultivated into
him. The sooner this work is be-
gun the better the results. Decide
as quickly, that is as early in life
as possible, what direction the life
work is to take and then make
everything bend to its accomplish
ment. Let nothing stand in the
way of preparation. Preparation
is the equipment for that work,
your tools. The more preparation
the better equipment, not forget
ting that practical exercise in the
use of your tools is itself great
matter.
Make up your mind at the out
set that you have no changes to
make. 1t matters not in what de-
partment Of labor your work is
chosen, conclude from the start
that it is to be your life work. Be
1t in the field, or the office, or the
shop, or behind the counter, dig
ging with the hands or the head, it
is all alike. 1t is not what, but
how. Not what you choose, but
how you work. Every true man is
the architect of his own fortunes.

in the eddies that form along the
currents of events. They are the
people who in all this great world
have no place found for them in
middle or in old age, because In
youth they made no place for
themselves.
1t is in the power of every man Of
ordinary capacity to make place
in the activities of the world for
himself and so fill it as to have a
natural and recognized right to it.
Having such a place, is it not man
ifest folly to leave 1t for some other
place in which you will fit no bet
ter than a ducks foot in slab of
ice. 1t is both dignified and self
respectful to recognize your place
among men as one of the factors
that make business, carry on the
movement OF the world and help
direct the trade and government Of
it. To everlastingIy attempt to
fill some other persons place and
have another fill yours, is to con-
fess failure and your unfitness for
either. If you would succeed, find
your place, or make it. Stick to
it. II any other comes around
trying to put himself in your way
and stick his round post in your
square hole kick him out of your

LITTLE WILL BE DONE
By the City Council Tonight As This
Is q Legal Holiday.

While the regular meeting of the city
council will be held tonight it is not
probable that anything mora will be
done than allow the bills and pass an
appropriation ordinance covering them.
This is because there is a question
whether any other action would be Ier
gal in face of the fact that this Is
legal holiday. Two years ago the same
question arose and the city attorney
gave a written opinion that nothing
could be done outside of allowing bills
on a legal holiday.
The council will meet and dispose of
the routine business and adjourn to an
early date. The garbage ordinance and
the First ward sewer were the only i'm
portant questions scheduled for to-
night.
