OPPORTUNITY.

There Is q popular saying TO
the effect that opportunity
knocks at q mans door once
and, receiving no response, de-
parts and returns no more. The
saying is good poetry. but poor
sense. Opportunity knocks at a
mans door every hour of his
life. If it negIects him while
asleep 1t knocks twice every hour
he is awake. A dozen times an
hour in every mans life there
is opportunity to perform an act
thar will advance him little Ia
the esteem of his associates and
at the same time advance his
own best interests. Most men
hore to make fortune by some
big stroke OF luck. whereas 1t Is
well known that fortunes are
made by saving little every
day. Likewise most men are
waiting for opportunity TO ap-
pear and knock down their
doors, whereas opportunity is al
ways hammering away Mt your
door as persistently as q wood
