County Auditor.

John A. Sleicher, in Leslie's Weekly:
Young mai or young woman, you are
worth somthing. Don't sell yourself too
cheap. Your health, strength, intel
lect, industry, application, morals, prin-
ciples, and high character-all of these
are an asset.
They are worth something if you
have any Of them. They are price
less if you have them all, for they are
what make our foremost men and wo-
men. They make great teachers,
workers, preachers, leaders, generals
in war, captains of industry, managers
of railroads and heads of corporations.
Such men as these are not chosen
for their good looks or fine clothes.
Certainly not! Neither are they ever
chosen because of their dishonesty, i'm
morality, thoughtlessness s~elfishness,
or disbelief in the hand of a divine
Providence. Some men of this kind
succeed but the exceptions are rare.
Remember, in this frivilous time,
that the one thing you really have as
long as you live is your body. That
is yours. That stays with you to the
end. You must live with yourself.
Where you 60, it goes with you. When
you pass away, it is your casket. There
is only the hope of immortality left to
console your friends.
If this be true-and it cannot be de-
nied-make the priceless gift of your
Creator a sanctuary, clean, sweet,
wholesome, spirited as well as physi-
cal, living the life that you know you
should live, putting a high value on the
human frame in which you make your
home.
Beautify it with all the graces of de-
pertinent, courtesy, kindness and affec-
ton. DO not heap it with vice, licen-
tiousness, greed, intemperance, sordid-
ness, unbellef and all the train Of sor-
row and suffering that follow in the
path of sin.
Keep yourself worth all that you can.
Hold yourself in the worlds market at
the highest price.
AS the farmer seeks to win the
prizes with the best products of the
soil and breeding stable, rs the manu-
f~acturer strives for the finest work OF
the loom, the forge or the spindle, as
the young housewife delights in the
most delicate embroidery and the art
list in the highest example OF his art
so let everyone, however humble, seel
the best for what he has to offer ant
he will get the highest price.
There Is a public market always
open for our varied talents. We nee'
go to no pawn shop with them. W.
need not cut prices. We need not sci
at a sacrifice. There is no bargain
counter for soul and body. 1.-THE LII
Is more than meat and the body NOR
than raiment."
The young man who thinks that tn
world owes him a living, that he mus
have 1t regardless Of what he gives !
return, makes a fatal mistake.
The young woman who believes tina
la pretty face, q graceful figure wit
beauty unadorned and the display 9
many jewels, will win her way Is TO
lowing the leadership of the blind. Sh
will pay the price with bitter repen
ance.
Avoid the primrose path Of dial
ance. Take the beaten way, though
lbe straight and narrow, for the end
; peace.
The discoverer must sail ove man
, troubled seas. He must climb tn
highest peaks and break his tortuou
way through many q jungle, but II 1
{ the end he reaches the goal, he will b
satisfied.
{ There is q goal for you!
