These conditions are the fruit of selfhshness-the outcome of the love of material things, for the Love or IOQ ldS lOT6WdIlAC0 d1l0 AOA - armed man against them. The worst conditions in life are caused by the re- pudiation of wisdom and the attempt to nut material things in it's place when there is no substitute for IL; Man is constantly affirming his bellef in wisdom. and as constantly by his actions, showing his lack of faith in it.

 Hard luck usually wears "sneaks" and hits one a hard and unexpected blow. Although some people do not believe there is such thing as good or bad luck, half the world has be- heved in it: and in the dictionaries the word is not yet marked obsolete There is a maxim: Luck WhlneS- labor whistles" There is common " quoted saying, "The unexpected is always happening" which interpreted is always an endorsement of luck What is luck? The unexpected wheth- CT for delight or despair, a gain or a l loss, an advance or a discharge. The 1 man who for five years drove wells | for oil only to strike water thought his next door neighbor was in luck when l he spent a day to dig well for water and struck oil. Everything called bad luck is not. for it is often l shiftlessness; and good luck has often been so closely allied to pluck that it seemed like an alien. If Emerson 1 does say: "Only shallow men believe 1 in luck'' it is still recognized by the dictionary makers, talked about by | scholars and collated in dictionaries l of quotations. Good luck and Bad l luck are twins who like Banquo 1 ghost will not down.

 Those who feel good to think they l are always well-Spoken of-are nrSl I in popularity might gasp if they knew the Bible says Woe unto you l Why is this, think you? Because all men never speak well of the man who does right, or who always speaks the | truth. Such a person conflicts with 1 everything selfish or crooked. Fear o1 | them possesses every one who is ir
 danger of being found out in cOnse- | Quence of them. Somehow the way tc
 win the favor of the world is not the | way to win the favor of heaven. There is too much standing together for per-
 sonal advantage and too little for the
 promotion of truth. Any man who i; playing the game of life for all it if
 worth is not laying up the treasure:
 which endure. From manhood self
 ishness has to be eliminated to obtain
 nobility of character. Being popular l IS lar 1TOu DOlnS

 should look our sharpest for the mel
 in trade who talk square dealing ant l righteousness. There are times an( occasions when such talk should com
 mand our reverence and interest bu We must be careful to note the pro
 priety and impropriety of the season for such talk. Satan can talk like
 saint and he constantly arrays him l self in the mantle of the church t | land his quarry. A pickpocket cal l lead in a heart to heart talk, a burg
 lar protect himself in the uniform of policeman and libertine can cloth
 himself in the garb of a priest. Al
 life may be set to music. just as tn 1 poet says, but it is up to us to look ou
 for the discords. In trade it is wei
 enough to meet all men as though yoi
 were a deaf mute and only saw tn
 price marked on the goods. There a maxim: Talk is cheap" but it mighty dear if you carelessly give ca to 1t. You will find that few men il
 trade talk as they prey. To b l sharper than the sharper every ma , must be on guard.
 It would be money in some men

 prejudices To those who do not kno7 . a prejudice when they see it, it may b well to state that it always feels 6 home with ignorance, and is who'll
 unacquainted with tact. Prejudice ma be defined as ill-will with no founda tion- We get prejudiced against peo , pie who do not live or think or dress a , we do; also against those we envy C
 dislike from any cause. Tryon Ed
 wards defined prejudice as the wors
 devil to get into the mind, because i, keeps out truth. Prejudice and sell ! sufhciency are a fine span to take an | l one to Troubletown at a -minut
