There is no use worrying. fret
ting and losing sleep because
some one has found fault with
what yoU do. IT'S the common
lot of man in business. The mer-
chant doesn't please all his, cus-
toners; the postmaster is cuffed
and kicked for alleged mistakes;
the railroad agent is frequetly
backed up in a corner and given
to understand this that and the
other thing, the butcher is forever
reminded of the tough steak, and
even the minister finds it hard to
please all the congregation with
his best sermons. If you do not
believe this ask these men. The
newspaper man gets more than
his share of it and is expected to
get out a cheerful newspaper all
the same. A man befriends an
other for years and is turned down
and abused. Such things are not
pleasant but they always have
been and always will be, and the
man who goes through them the
easiest, is the one who pays the
least attention to them, and goes
right along trying to be pleasant
and useful.-EIcAange.
