THF MAN WHO MAKES GOOD,
Is Neither Gay Nor Candy, But Is Manly,
MannerIy And MethOdical,
tJohn Anderson Jayne)

You may not be able to disting-
uish the man who makes good
when he is walking down the
street with the thousands Of his
fellow citizens. But the nom ent
you step into the office where he
is employed, the factory in which
he works, the church in which he
breaches or the bedside by which
he practices, you recognize him
at once.
He may be little, insignificant
looking fellow, but there is a
breezy manner about him that
compels attention, He man
weigh like a Taft, but you forget
his obesity in his ability to make
the wheels go round, He has a
swing and a step born only OF
accomplishment. He is neither
gay, gaudy nor Shiny. lie is
manly, mannerly and methodical.
He knows when, where and why.
He has the happy faculty of ar
riving at exactly the right time
and place. When he lands he
lands squarely, with both feet
pointing forward.
The man who makes good is
master of the situation. He is
not compelled to ask privileges or
make apologies in order to hold
his position. He is not treated
as an inferior by those who hold
more responsible positions, pay
ing larger salaries, for those men
know that he is using the usual
talents of mankind for the ac-
complishment Of usual work.
Unusual mental power unused
does not't9qual Usual men''1i
power used. The man who
makes good never whines. He is
never compelled to do the baby
act or work the sympathetic
racket.
His work speaks for itself. 1t

is the testimony of the faithful
fidelity of a conscientious worker.
The man who makes good is
noticontent to rest on past ac-
corfplishment. Every act of
maaing good is an incentive to
further attempts in the same
direction. The past, therefore,
gives impetus in the present and
strength for the days that are to
come.
The man who makes good is
always in demand. He need not
worry about positions. through
necessity, he must make a
charge, other men in the same
line are only too GLAD to give him
employment. There is only one
class Of people who should be

those young men who have not
yet had opportunity to make
good and show their worth to
employers who will appreciate
their ability in the work that is
congenial to their tastes.
The majority Of men who
knock from pillar to post are men
who failed to make good in the
days when the currents OF life
flowed swiftly in their veins.
Every once in Il while you hear
a man of 60 and upward called to
the superintendency of some
business establishment or tender
ed a position where brains are re-
ouired rather than muscles.
Such call is a living witness to
the truth. In the days of youth
no made good.
