Prospective Owners Knew Not Where
to Get Pack-Train Needed.

The secretary of an eastern com
pany that some time ago was anxious
to purchase a silyerlead mine in the
northwest tells of an amusing incident
in the negotiations for its purchase
AS the ore assayed well and every
thing looked propitious, a mining eX-
pert was sent to examine the mine
His report was favorable. too favor
able, in fact, and aroused the sus-
picions Of the would-be purchaser; so
it was determined to investigate more
closely. At this point a wellknOwn
mining man of Butte recommended
that certain rough and-ready genius
should be sent to look at the mine.
You can deepnd upon his Judgment
the mining man said. You can trust
to his report, which in all probability,
will be brief and very much to the
point" The advice was followed AS
predicted, the report was short and
pithy. 1t read substantially as fol-
lows: Gents: | have made an exam

that the ore is there as represented;
that 1t assays high; that it is there in

Applied Psyc holoqy.

Any theory TO be a remarkable the
DRY must have a workable basis.
Psychology IS nothing if not practical.
OF what benefit is the soul power with
its wonderful intuitiye intelligence il
we cannot make use of it in the every
day affairs of life? 1t is for that pur.
pose that | desire to call your atten-
don to the following eight psycholog-
zeal principles, the combination Of
which, properly applied, will unlock
the door of success To any line of
business for which one has any natural
aptitude:
/. Confidence.
2. Concentration
3. Passiyity.
4. Unloading
8. POsitiyeness.
g. Impulsion.
7. Clinch your thought. r
s. Control cor ditions.
Confidence.
Unless you have confidence IN vour
self and confidence IN your undertake.
ing how can you reasonably expect
success?
Thought IS yibratory and your
slough. viii affect he one to whom il
is voluntarily projected or the one
who comes within its radiation.
Therefore, II the shadow of a doubt

enters your mind and you harbor It,
if but for moment it will prove pre-
judicial to your interests. l have al
ways contended that the little, trouble
some word "if' (when it expresses
doubt is not to be found in any true
psychological dictionary. Every time
you use it and every time you think
it you are giving yourself suggestion
that may prove your defeat. An auto
suggestion (self-suggestion) is just as
forceful as if it came from some one
else. Therefore do not accept
doubts from any source. Remember
that ifs and butts" are always
(when doubt is ex2ressed) links in
your thought letters.
In the first place, learn to keep
your own counsel. Should you, how
ever, consult with anyone who belongs
to the doubling Thomas" class, make
up your mind to shut out every doubt
either expressed or implied. (The
majority of us when asking advice are
usually seeking approval)
Sooner or later, everyone will real
ize his desires, providing he holds to
them with persistent and unwavering
confidence. The best things of this
life are not possible while we para
I'VE ourselves with doubts of our abil-
tiles. The very force we waste upon
our fears is all that would be neces.
sary for the achievement of our pur-
pose. At the very point of discourage.
ment we are often nearest accom-
plishment
If the question has been asked me
once it has been asked me hundreds
of times: IF one fails does he not
lose his confidence?"
Not necessarily so, no. If he does,
he could not have had very large
stock of confidence to lose. Success
is not built upon one effort but upon
repeated eforts-and failures. AS a
rule, failure should never be acknowl
edged until the last effort has been
made, and the last effort should not
be made until one is successful.
Ultimate failure should never be &C.
knowledged but, instead, hope on,
hope ever with increasing confidence
in ultimate success

Conc entration,

This is best accomplished by true
quietness rather than by intensity
Concentration is the key to all power
Thought is force; concentration of
thought is the focusing and directing
Of force for certain purpose. To be
successful in concentration depends
on what we concentrate our force
upon and what ends We have in view
in so doing 1t should never be for
unworthy ends. AS practice for such
concentration you should occasionally
select some one thought and focus
your mind thereon at the exclusion of
all other thoughts. You must learn
to still the little thought waves run
ming through your mind continuously
BY gathering the thought forces to-
gether in one big wave.
Whatever business project you may
have in mind concentrate your thought
upon it so completely that you may
hold that particular thought at the
exclusion of all others and hold it with
confidence in the accomplishment of
the object
