1t is difficult to get people out OF rut.
The fact OF the matter is that the deeper
the rut and the more it impedes progress,
the less they seem inclined to accept as
sistance to level ground. The wise bust
ness man of today is the one who FULLY
recognizes that methods are changing
and broadening under modern influences,
and that he must accommodate himself
to such changes. Another point worthy
of note in this respect is that it isqute as
difficult to retain success as to achieve 1T.
The reason is that when once attained
there seems to be natural disposition
on the part OF a good many to believe
that they can keep in advance simply by
the momentum which they have acquired
forgetting that those behind have ever
been increasing their speed and are not
relaxing their efforts for a moment

THE WAY TO GET RICH.

The way to get credit is to be pune
tual in pay ing your bills. The way tt
preserve it is not to use much. Settle
often; have short accounts.
Trust no mans appearance-they
are deceptive erhaps assumed-fo,
the purpose Of obtaining credit. Be,
ware Of gaudy exterior. Rogues usu-
ally dress well. The rich are the plain
men. Trust him, if any, who carries
but little on his back. Never trust
blm who flies into a passion on being
dunned; make him nay quickly,if there
be any virtue in the law.
Be well satisfied before you give a
credit, that those to whom you give ii
are safe men to be trusted.
Sell your goods at small advance,
and never misrepresent them, for those
whom you once deceive will beware
of you the second lime,
Deal upright with all men and they
will repose confidence in you and soon
become your permanent customers.

: into he Vulcan period central on the
18th. The perturbati n OF earth's
Yernal equinox begins annually about
the middle of February.
The atmospheric tide which will be
drawn sou,hward by the moons posi-
ton on or al out the 18th or 10th, Is
almost su, to result in heavy gales

most likely continue through thu Vul-

new moon on the Goth, and moon o.
the equator, Dist. A sudden chang

central AID southern sections on and

From the 21st the moon passes from

northward on the 2Sth. This position
of the moon will draw the atmospheric
tide northward, causing much south
erly wind and hence warm, tbawing
weather over the country generally
during the last week in February.
Rain storms with lightning and thun-
der IN many sections, will be central
sbout the 23rd to 26th. Sudden
change to cold andl freezing weather
after warm rains with thunder, is the
usual order during the Venus periods
at this time of year. Such changes
may take place about 25th to 2Sth,
progressively from west to south and
east. Only good" can result from being
ready for such results, but the posi-
bihtits are that the cold wave will be
kept in allegiance until the moon ap-
proaches the equator at the close OF
