Keen Your EYES 70 Front.

The business house that goes stead
fly, slowly forward beats the house
CT quick, phenomenal growth. The
mushroom grows in a night, and dies
as quickly.
The oak takes years to grow, and it
lives for years.
The man who gets rich quickly
usually dies poor.
The bank which has grown steadily
for many years endures many years.
Again, let us remember 1t is not how
much or how quickly we progress, but
how sure we progress. Keep your
eyes to the front. Train your energies
and brains on the progress plan. Keep
In the right direction. Don't take the
side lines. Never mind the crowd
which travels faster than you do.
BY and by the fast travellers will
stumble and drop out of the race, and
by and by you will have more room.
Don't be discouraged because your
pace seems slow. Every big success
was built on slow, steady progress.
There are only a few who progress
continually. There are many who
progress, then recede. and play this
forward and back movement SO often
that they never get far.
You will find many temptations on
the road and many cool, shady rest
ing places teasing you to turn aside.

But Little File Clerk Reveals Truth

It was s: 40 a. m. in the stenographic
department of a large downtown
wholesale house when Miss Barnum,
late for the third time that week.
fluttered down the aisle to her desk.
Not few OF the typewriters which
had been clicking in unison came to
an abrupt standstiil as the late
conner removed her hat with an air
of utter indifference, patted her hair
puffs into place, and critically viewed
a set OF good-looking features in a
small oval mirror drawn from her
handbag.

disaster and timidly advised her

her desk with the announcement,
Mr.. Peers would like to see you IN

The girl turned a shade paler, but
a little scornful smile played around
her lips. The girl chum, hearing the
summons, turned to her with a look
of deepest anxiety. Miss Barnum, I'M
