Don't knock. Help yourself along by
becoming popular, and push your
friends with you. It's very easy. Be
a good fellow and soon you'll have "a
procession of followers. No man ever
helped himself knocking other people
down in character and business.

Try and make a live, enterprising
place out of your home town, and when
working for its institutions or speak
ing well of the town and country, re.
member you are accomplishing all the
more for yourself. Don't be foolish
enough to idle away valuable time pre-
dieting failures and thereby decrease
the value of your property.
When we get at the bottom it is
doubtful if there is a millionaire in the
country who has observed the golden
rule in the amassing of his fortune. He
has lobbied legislation; he has beaten
the people out of franchises; he sold
impure food, he has inferior goods in
the market; he has sold at extortion
PRICES; he has paid starvation wages.
The man owns his home is in a posi-
tion that the renter can never reach.
The renter usually finds that his rent
is too high, or he is dissatisfied for
some reason, and is restless, and dis
contentment stalks before him. He
wants to move. He does not take the
same interest IN municipal affairs, in
his own affairs, nor is he as solioitous
of his neighbors, as the man who owns
his home.
Billy Jones wrote on the black board,
BILLY Jones can hug the girls better
than any boy in school" The teacher

thew began to guy him. "Got lickin'

jawed?" mo" what did she do?"

The postal authorities ut Washington
recognizing the liability of postmasters
to make mistakes IN getting letters in
the wrong boxes, have fixed penalty
of $500 on persons taking mail out of
the office other than their own and not
returning it at once. This law also
includes newspapers. The excuses that
it is the postmaster's fault "cuts no
ice" If you have been getting other
peoples mail you had better take warn
Ing or you may get yourself in trouble.
Say, doyou know the kind of fellow
who's just to the worlds mind? The
kind the world can't lose? The kind
that folks enthuse over and take off
their hats to? Why it's the man-who-
does. He's the fellowl Not the fellow
whose grandpa got there; not the fell
low who would if he could; not the
gentleman who's going to some day;
but the man-who-does, now, today, No
sitting around wait ng, about him; no
expecting something to happen; no
looking for something to turn up No
sir! He calls the turn and turns them;
he takes off his coat and doesn't care if
he starts a little sweat; he doesn't
need big, brass buttoned copper to
tell him to move on; he keeps the pro-
cession humping TO keep up with him;
he is hustle from his feet mp and from
his head down; he is not only in the
push, bot he is the push-the whole
thing; and say, the way he makes
things come and business hum is a eau
ton; the way the world takes that fel-
low up and is good to him makes your
heart glad; he's all right, he is; he
greases the wheels of progress and
keeps the world spinning round.
