merchant princes are Cinnamon. A
verbal contract made with them Is
practically as good as a written one,
and will be rigidly adhered to even
should it be- at loss to themselves.
Very rarely indeed do they ever repu-
date a contract or fail to complete a
financial transaction. They very read
lily give credit, and for long periods of
time without security, but they satisfy
themselves by inquiry beforehand that
the purchaser is reliable. 1t may seem
remarkable to you, but they seldom
make mistake and prove the loser.
The excuse made by most people is
that they cannot afford to travel, much
as they desire to do so. In the strenu-
Gus pursuit of the dollar which en-
crosses the attention of all people now
adays, they are apt to put off until some
indefinite time in the future, and build
air castles and plan extended journeys
in foreign lands. If they 90 succeed

themselves incapacitated by sickness,
family cares or old age, and all their
long cherished and fondest hopes come
to naught. Everyone can spare little
time and money and take short jour-
neys, at least, getting much needed rest
and recreation and knowledge there
from, if they but will to do so. The
old saying, "As we journey through
life let us live by the way" is applica-
BILE and fits to nicely. Our travels,
be they short or long, in our native
land or on foreign shores, amid civilized
or barbaric people, all furnish us with
pleasant and instructive thoughts; and
in our leisure hours we live those days
over again, and from the hidden recess
ses of the brain beautiful panorama
unrolls itself before US, bringing peace,
happiness and contentment.

REFLECTIONS

G.S.
MODERN business methods have

MODERN business methods have
in some cases been termed
artistic swindles." Yet the world
seems to have put such premium
on the making of great fortunes.
that the old-fashioned grip of
honor has been lost. The lust for
millions has shifted ideals and
obscured the entire moral code.
Our kings of finance believe that
the "end justifes the means" and
when they win, the world applauds.
When they lose, we'll, they are
generally put down as suckers.
IF there is any one word in the
English language that I like
better than any other, it is ideals. ;"
1t is good word, too, even if it
exists only in our Imagination. It
has a great deal to do with our
success or failure. Our ideals may
be real or they may be but men,
tai conception of a standard of
perfection. Many of US can re-
member when in our school days
we reached some imaginary stand
ard of excellence and resolved to
live up to it. Looking backward,
however, we can see that as time
passed we became careless and IN
different and failed to hold our
selves up to the selected ideals.
AS result we have failed. This
demonstrates, that in order to reach
our goal we must keep moving to-
ward our ideal, instead of away
from it.
Many bright, energetic young
men have started out in life
determined to make themselves
felt in the world. And yet, within
a period of ten, fifteen or even
twenty years, they have been found
tagging behind. And why? Be-
cause, as the years rolled around
their ideals have been growing
lower and lower and their minds
hardening into ruts. I believe it
was that great and good man
Emerson who said, 'man's life is a
progress, not station" So it lie
with everything in nature and
everything in our own souls. It is
the spirit of progress, character
istic of all civilized beings. But
we often rebel against the laws of
nature, and so we smother the
clarion voice that speaks to us and
calls loudly for us to move forward
and upwards toward our ideals.
We have rather listened to the
voice of our animal nature, and as
a result have fallen into ways that
were not only dangerous to our
liberty, but an obstacle to attain
ing the supreme object of our life.
No man has ever succeeded or
will ever succeed in his life or
work who does not keep moving
towards his ideals. And just put
this down as a fact, for it is not a
theory. Like many others, I have
learned this lesson from observa-
ton as we'll as in the costly school
of experience. Any man with a
worthy ideal, struggling to carry it
out is successful man. It need
not necessarily be an ideal which
has for its objective point
wealth, power or fame. There are
all grades of ideals. The man with
the highest, given the proportion
ate energy, is the most successful.
The world makes way for this kind
of men. Their rewards are simply
the law of compensation in actual
operation. For no man can form
high ideals and work towards them
all his life without being sought
by the world. If I were competent
to give advice to other young men
1 should say: Have high ideals,
keen them always in sipht. live
