Two Rules Of Life.

Here is a man whose guiding prin.
ciple is hate. He is forever trying to
punish somebody for some real or
fancied grievance. He will spend
money and thought and time to bring
confusion upon some one whom he
chooses to regard as an enemy, money
and thought and time which he might
employ in advancing his own fortunes
or in nobler efforts When he sue
ceeds in his end he seems to take a
brief satisfaction in his work, but he
does not impress US as a happy man.
He soon forgets all about the punished
enemy and casts about for q new one
TO punish. When he faiIs in his end
and his enemy escapes or Furnishes
him he is very much cast down. One
advantage of taking the diametrically
opposite passion to the one this man
mas selected as your guiding principle
OF life is that even when you lose you
