butler, an elderly man, had got an
inexperienced lad to help him in
the dining room, and it seems that
this lad, during the preparing of
the table, annoyed the butler
beyond endurance with questions
as to his duties. How shall I

the dishes on the right or the left
side ofthe guests?' Must the bishop
be served first or second?' So he
continued interminably, and at last
the impatient butler said: All you
will need to do will be to stand
behind the bishops chair. and
whenever his lordship puts down
his glass, you must reach oyer and
wipe his mouth with a serviette.
That, as the butler expected,
silenced his assistant. But the

Have a Big Purpose.

Speaking of the right start" said
one of 4 small company discussing
present-day business opportunities and
advantages as compared with former
times. Il consider it fully as necessary
to keep the main object always in view
and to have a main object-as to get
started right in life. There is power
frl force effected unconsciously by
thought and exertion Of the will.
When it is centered on IN object in the
future, energy is continually manufac-
tued to drive US toward that goal Il
is i'll the lives where there is no definite
purpose that nothing is accomplished
Every depression from the idea Of
the main fact of life is so much lost
motion. so much waste of good cleo
trical force in the machine. That is
why vacillation is SO injurious. 1t pays
to get a thing settled iii the mind and
then keep to the course. Something
will be accomplished; otherwise, moth
ing.
THE many colorless lives all about
us are due more to the fact that they
were devoid of settled purpose than 10
lack of real ability 70 accomplish some
thing. They are frittered away on de-
tail and on casual events, to which to,
much attention is paid. Strong ma
lures. those with the faculty and power
of concentration, do not burden them.
selves with TOO much, but they keep
after the one thing with indomitabls
will. When that is achieved their life
work is done and otha- carry it on. In
the lesser affairs of life this selection
OF n goal and concentration of purpose
does much to smooth the way. 1t Is
the motive power 10 the machine. 1t
doesn't count for so much that the goal
Is never reached-our ideals should be
little too high. 1t is striving that
tells and produces results. Therefore.
l would counsel a fixed purpose and
instead of wiggling along unde-
terminely through life keep pressing
after something big. Therell be plenty
OF fruit gathered along the way.
