Mrs. Judson worried over the UNI

lamps all the evening. The next
morning after Judson had gone down
town, still in a spirit of depression,
she began to feel that she might pos

Compact Book Arrangement.


Cases for books, files, libraries, etc,
have generally the drawback of not
utilizing to greatest advantage the
space occupied. Until the stack sys-
tenn was devised shelf room was
practically limited to the amount of
available wall space. In file rooms
particularly the advantage of having
all the cases adequately protected
from dust and abrasion is of para
mount interest. A recent German in
yention is designed to economize
storage space, and while affording pro-
lection, at same time it enables the
inspection of a single book, or file,
without exposing the whole contents
of the case. For this purpose the case
is divided into vertical section, each
of which is mounted on rollers and
provided with handles, and so being
made perfectly independent of each
other. The cases may thus be made
much deeper than is usual with IL
brary shelves, and, as shown, the

For Those Who Think.

Don't daily with your purpose.
Character is the poor mans capital.
If you hate another, it is slow suicide
for yourself.
Men call their own carelessness and
inactivity fate.
The lucky man is the one who grasps
his opportunity.
Character has commercial as well as
an ethical value.
Genius darts, f1utters, and tires but
perseverance wears and wins
The largest room in the world is the
room for self-improvement.
Give youth resolution and the al
pnabet, and who shall place limits to
his career?
We get out of life just what we rut
into it; the world has for us just what
we have for it.
Don't brood over the past. or dream of
the future. but use the instant and get
your lesson from the hour.
In many an establishment there are
successes who are infinitely inferior to
the failures from whom they snatch the
laurclS.
No one else can solve your problem.
or work out your riddle. You stand or
fall by it. Your happiness your we'll
being, your success and your destiny hang
upon your carrying out the program the
Creator has given you.
Stock taking every day is a great aid
to advancement. Stop and add yourself
you have anything to carry over. If you
have nothing but ciphers to carry over,
something is wrong somewhere.
Success.
