Give Wise Man
A hint and he will do the business well
enough
Today the men and women In business
who making the great successes are
those who need but a hint Of what Is want
ed and are then able to go ahead. Fur
thermore. they are the ones who go after
the hints and do not have them thrust
upon them. They study the nature Of their
employer. They are not paid to listen to
and observe every detail Of the business.
but when they can do so without neglectlng
the work in hand 1t Is made their own.
A man in large manufacturing estab-
lishment said the other day. indicating his
secretary There is woman who gets the
most money, after myself. Of any one IN
this concern. Why? Because she knows
more abut the business than do, II posi-
bic. And she came into my office Just as
stenographer. She worked up by knowing
the little things the others didn't. While
was out one day a man came in to see me
on important business. The man who

IA Righteous Man
Regardeth the life of his beast" We owe
consideration to the dumb creatures. They
are utterly helpless If they could talk
they would not stand the treatment they
often get. No man can afford to Cypress
such weakness. The man who is gentle to
dumb brutes will be likely to treat his fell
low-heings with consideration, and when
he does not the tendency is toward the saw
age.
The story of Uncle Toby and the fly Is
pertinent. After Uncle Toby had caught
the fly that had been buzzing about his
face his first impulse was to crush It, but
open window. saying: Go, poor thing: get
thee gone. There Is room enough in the
world for thee and me both"
Dumb creatures are gladstone, apprecia-
tive friends Let us remember the defense
less beast and make its life happy. Let not
thoughtlessness or Indifference or vicious
ness cause you to forget that the supreme
power is over all. The beasts have their
share of burdens to bear without the added
one OF cruelty.
Egociat1on-
Is a word coined by mental scientist to
express the appreciation OF self as crea-
ton OF God and as an instrument Of altru-
ism He draws the distinction between
this kind of ego which renders the greatest
possibilities In the order of atruistic serv
ice In the execution of the higher laws OF
harmony and that other kind which Is ego
tism, and whose tendencies are animal
esque, born physically and intellectually
only.
The one ego enjoys appreciation loves
spontaneously, understands the divine and
Rttains true happiness. 1t therefore recog
nizes and asserts an individuality or respon-
sibility that Is the result of appreciation
and is opposed to that personality or sep
arateness which is an attribute OF egotism.
Following after the laws of egociation we
may attain to the highest planes of life.
Then we shall associate ourselves only with
good. II will and acquire the beautiful.
II Will turn aside from the unpleasant. 1t
will be JOY and love and truth and victory.
1t will be pleasure, attractiveness, charita-
bleness and health and strength.
