Success in business usually depends
upon the amount of energy and spirit
that is back of the enterprise. BE care
full about the kind of "spirits'' you use,
or else your energy will be handi
capped.
Duplicity is despised by all men.
There is no other habit that calls forth
such bitter denunciatiOns as this one.
The man who, being admitted to the
sanctuary of your life, then betrays

It's strange that perpetual motion
has never been discovered. There are
any number of "machines" here that

They all keep good time," especially
when they have life sentence.
The man who is looking for soft

he will find softer place than he bar

Manchester merchant who purchased a

noticed one cabinet marked in the in

He notified the seller, who frankly ad-
mitted having taken it away in the
supposition that such a small article
would not be missed in such large
