Christmas Givinu.

 Orison Swett Warden in Success Maga zine"
 Two little girls were talking over what they were going to buy for Christmas The wealthy girl said, T have $25 to spend on my family; how much have to spend, but not on our family. They do not need 1t. l am going to buy pres ents for poor children who have no money for Christmas"
 We are apt to think too much about Christmas presents for our own family, and too little about gifts for those who have no Christmas money to spend Most people seem to think that if they have no money they cannot make Christ mas presents. But even If they ha money they probably have somethi Ing about the house or office whicl do not need half as much as other fortunate than themselves and they could easily spare. There are of things In many homes, put av = the attic as rubbish, which would very great service to somebody.
 The trouble with most of us is u are so selfish that we think of ever in terms of self. We may have cl that we are very sure we shall wear again, yet we cling to it, as to books which we have read and other things simply because we we may want 1t sometime.
 It Is a good time to clean house before Christmas, and to pick out things which you do not really neeL. will be surprised to see how many things you have to spare which would cheer and help somebody

Nuqqets From Success Magazine

Nuggets From Success Magazine"
 Men of mettle turn disappointments into helps as the oyster turns into pearl the sand which annoys it.
 Let a man get the idea that he Is being wronged, or that everything is against him, and you cut his earning capacity in two.
 The power of clean record as a sue
 cess factor cannot be overestimated
 Confidence is the key that unlocks the bank to the young man who is trying to establish himself. To fear or to worry is as sinful to curse.
 They who give nothing till they die, never give at all. If one good chance goes by you, just lie low and grab the next. Ones personal enjoyment is very small thing; ones personal usefulness is a very important thing.
 Many an honorable career has resulted from kind word spoken in season or the warm grasp of friendly hand ,
 The pyramid of knowledge is made up of little grains of information, little ob- servations picked up from everywhere. He Is a great man who sees great things where others see little things, who sees the extraordinary in the ordinary. The fellow who is making the most of a small job fs really ahead of the fellow who is making botch of a better one. gSweeter than the perfume of roses is a reputation for kind, charitable, un- selfish nature; ready disposition to do for others any good turn in our power.
