PRAISE, DON'T BLAME.

What's the use of criticism?
Why not praise instead of blame
If it does no good to censure,
Why not try the other game?
Now instead of always kicking
Some unhappy, failing man,
Don't you think it would be better
Just to try the other plan?

The Manicure Ladv
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

T SEE where Mister John d.
Rockefeller has given some
more good advice to the young
men of his time" said the Manicure
Lady. He has told them that to
make a success of the year 1914 they
ought to go straight ahead and make
a success, and make those happy that
depended on them Wasn't that aw-
full sweet Of him, George, 10 tell the
young men how to be successful like
him."
"Old John d. was always fond Of
young men" said the Head Barber,
Il suppose one reason he likes them
so much is because they are not Old
and wise enough TO be jealous or
suspicious Of They haven't had a
chance to get the brains and expert
ence they would need 70 give him
battle or take any OF his money
away from him. In other words he
likes young men the same way a
big heavyweight champion might like
a featherweight."
He is too great and good a man
to be compared 10 a prizefghter, II"
said the Manicure Lady. II you
had all his millions, George | don't
think you would be Worrying your
head much about how the young men
OF the country were coming out You
would probably have big stable Of
race horses and spend all your time
betting on them"
NO, l wouldn't" replied the Head
Barber, ~ would do all ! could to
help the poor OF this country. whetn-
er they were young or old. And while
you are talking about John d. Rookie
Teller and boosting him, ! don't see
where that advice he gave to the
young men amounts TO the paper that
1t was printed on. What did he tell
them, after all? He said TO 90
straight and 10 make a success. That
is Just the same as telling a high
school pitcher TO 60 straight and get
Msttv's skin and his salary in 1914.
And he told the boys to be honest
with themselves and with the people
that they were dealing with. | wonder
If he always kept that advice him
self Maybe he did but ] don't be-
lieve it,
He wouldn't tell no lie. George"
said the Manicure Lady He
wouldn't belong to a church II he
told lies"
MAYBE he Gidn't know that he was
living" said the Head Barber In
the first place, kiddo there isn't a
man in this world that has always
