THE MAN WHO TALKS

are made conscious that IL IS latended for you. There are too many people | who do not know a good thing when | they see it. and many more who never | study anything with zeal enough to | discover whether it is good or not | Those who regard all work as being | get indifferent results from their eff 1 forts in life. It should be borne in | mind a good thing must always be a thing of promise, where an invitation | to come higher up is sure at intervals to be issued. Do not be satisfied to dig ditches, drive trunnels or last shoes all the days of your life. The dollar earned is not a1l-feeling yourself grow is more satisfactory. Do not wait for opportunity to knock at your sible for yourself and others as a Carnegie. Rockefeller and an Edison have done. Vim has always made its own way--trust goes following after.
 Do not feel flattered when a friend assures you that you are working too hard. This is something your employ CT or your wife is not likely to tell you, and even when your doctor says so just take it with a grain of salt. Health is seldom impaired by hard work. and 1t was never known to kill anyone who was well nourished. Very few of us get the hustling habit and not many operate as if their bread and butter depended upon it. If everybody worked as if they liked their work the product would be greatly improved and somewhat increased. The saiici- tude which prompts a person to tell you that you are working too hard may have a selfish motive under it which bodes you no good The flat terer is seldom likened to anything but a serpent, and against serpents it is always well to be on your guard. Many more men are made miserable from a lack of work than are from having an abundance of it.
 It is we'll enough for a tradesman to be sharp in all his dealings with his fellowmen, but he should be care full not to be so sharp as to create resentment and cut himself oupt of trade. The tradesnaan who is greedy enough to pinch his customers gains dimes to lose dollars. Live and let live" like the Golden Rule. is a very good motto, the cornerstone of an ad- vancing policy, but the habit of ad- miring the sentiment and never dem- onstrating its worth Is far too com | mon where it should not be. The per- son who Is too sharp is as much his own enemy as the person who is too bibulous. Do him quick or he'll do you' is the Golden Rule of militarism,
 ment in trade. Most of the men who essay to do their fellowmen are them- 1 selves soon undone. Sharpness is best
 employed in getting mans confidence than in getting his dollars. Confidence
 gives stability to every employment l and system of government. Those who get too fresh soon become stale.
 | Advertising is popular way of at- zracting attention, and it always costs money or time. Good advertising cam
 not be done for nothing. The art of l dressing RRnarallv nrnVaS fn he Qnn1l l advertising for both sexes, and some persons are so delighted with this form | Of advertising they go beyond their means to keep it up. The corked eye toured hands are different styles of ad- 1 vertislng, so is the cackle Of the hen l Eccentric themes for Sunday discourse make drawing cards, and moving pie
 lures call out large congregations. Pro-
 1esslonal gentlemen who do not adver-
 tlse because such a. vulgar practice is beneath the dignity of their profession like to have their skilful work written up in the news columns for nothing
 Where the price is one dollar a word
 The union card and the non-unior voice serve their purpose. Good ad- Vertising is the only good thing intelli- gent business men think ought to be
 given away. A good thing is always
 worth paying for.
 i Those who spend too much time al
 the mirror should awaken to its ons
 admonition. It says to all: "SpenG
 much time in reflection The mirror,
 business is reflection, and the recon.
 mendatlon should carry force The
 mirror reflects our appearance what.
 ever it may be, and if we stay too Ions
 In admiration of self it discloses oul
 vanity. The looking glass shows ul
 human weakness. This is why it il
 said: There's none so homeIy bu loves looking glass" No mirror cal
 make us look to ourselves as others SC,
 us. Many man has admired his ap pearance in the mirror because he s,
 closely resembled a fashion plate. an:
 his friends seeing him in the same sui
 cannot hide their disgust because h,
 looks so much like a fool. This is jus
 as true of many a woman. They wh,
 spend much time in reflection vii spend less before a looking glass
 Vanity keeps folks ignorant of thei own faults. which it exposes to every one else.
