They are weak or pipes. Both OF
them like to get in the rear of the
store and pull their old tobacco stove.
Smoking Is their only vice that know
but they are losing money by 1t. more
money than they put into pipes and
tobacco.
That Is enough in that direction.
About stuck stamps: They got an or
der by mail and the distant customer
put in about 200 postage stamps.
The weather was damp and hot and
when the boys got the order the
stamps were very friendly. The post.
Office would not exchange good ones
for them so the stuck ones were sent
back.
They did not again hear from that
customer and the chances are that
they never will.

does more business in one day than

clerks never send back stuck stamps.
They soak them apart. dry and use
them.

duties well and often do the work
that belongs to others. A good bust.

SICKNESS AND YOUTH.

All but health! Friends. money,
schooling, opportunity, yet discourag.
ed and sufferer.
The young person with poor health
has the sympathy Of the writer be.
cause twenty years ago he was in the
same condition.
There is an age In ones growth
where depression Of lifes forces puts
one beyond the influence of drugs,
travel. recreation and the help Of
friends.
Should little strength be gathered
and hope return, unconscious careless
ness wastes the strength and scatters
the hope, till time comes when this
temporary Improvement has been Sc
cured and lost SO many times, it is
looked upon with doubt whenever it
returns.
The encouraging and educating of a
young person with continued poor
health is department in personal sci
ence. How to think In time to save
strength is mental preventive medi-
cine. How to grow a substantial en-
thusiasm that will not be displaced by
any common emotion or temptation, is
study in self-control.
This column will take these subjects
up again and again il any interest is
shown by the readers. The strong are
ollen puzzled to know how to encour-
age the discouraged and the sick may
wonder how to use the time that is
so useless, so that they may hasten
the day OF strength and cheer. What
would you like to know? Ask speci-
ic question. What do you know on
this subject others may long to poss.
ess?

Every Successful Plan Was
Only a Theory at the Beginning
THE sALARIED PARTNER.

When civilization lifted the indus.
tries from slavery into salary great
gain was made for individual liberty.
While many in the past have been,
some In the present are and a few In
the future will be born to be owned"
by employers because they are lack
ing in financial intelligence and there.
fore are commercial children, yet the
best employer is the businesslike-in-all
things person, and the best employee
is the one who works for the employer
the same az the employer works for
the customer.
The ideal employee is not an EN-.
ploye In the sense that word is used,
but a seller of time. skill and earnest
ness, and really becomes partner on
salary and an annual dividend de.
pendent on conditions.
Many employees remain longer with
some firms and become more success
ful than some partners. Where an
employer in place Of increasing an
employees salary has given the en-
ploye an annual sum dependent on
work and profits the plan has been so
successful that In some cases elm.
ployes have asked tor a reduction In
salary and an Increase In the annual.
The best employee works for the EN-.
ployer at whatsoever with concen.
trated energy. In place of seeking
other places, other places are seeking
this employee. Such employees never
think about getting In line" because
they are In line and know that to get
out of line Is to murder their own
ability, which is their stock In trade.
They do as they would be done by.
They speak WELL" think well" and
stand by" their employer.
What interest in firm does an EN-.
ploye have who draws salary of
nine dollars week. That means an
Investment of over nine thousand dol
lars at five per cent interest. II II had

PUTTING to Good Use.

In the spring of 1908, up near the

table repaired and groups of employees
were sent there to study with me or
