We don't know who was the author
of the following, but we do know that
whoever it was succeeded in getting
a lot of good solid truth in few words:
Most people seem to think that life is
great grab bag, into which they
should thrust their hands and take
out as much as possible, wit hout put
ting in anything. There could not be
a greater mistake for we find out that
we get out of life just what we put i'm
to it. If we put in misspent hours,
wasted opportunities, slipshod
work, botched material, we shall be
paid in kind. No matter what we
give the world, it pays us back in our
own coin. If we give our best-good,
honest faithful work, however humble
it may be-we shall receive our just re-
ward. But if we try to grasp all the
good things and give nothing in re-
turn, we will be compelled to swallow
some very bitter portions. We shall
find when too late, and we have
squeezed our orange dry, and nothing

When Sir Thomas Upton got back

He was asked if he thought
Americans were going to become still
more formidable competitors of the
English in future. 81 am sure of it,
was the reply. "They getwo ready
whilst we are thinking about it, and
they execute orders before we have
finished drawing the plans. They
have the best machinery it is possible
to invent, and they pay wages high
enough to attract the best workmen.
Then in their methods of doing trade
they beat us in neutral markets. We
try to make people buy what we want
to sell them. The Americans, on the
on the other hand, are ready to sell
what other people want to buy. They
are taking away lot of our trade,
and they will take away more in the
future.r
