The Schedule Crank.

The man who is living this life on
schedule time deserves to be an object
Of pity. know Of one creature who
is so precise in his appointments that
he is actually living a month in adj
vance of himself. You say to him,
"Whatchergonado tomorrer noon,
Bi1l?" and he'll consult his little vest
pocket engagement book and inform
you that he is filled up as far as next
Wednesday at 10 p. M (meaning en-
gagements, of course). Then you say,
II wanted you to- lunch with me to-
morrow at twelve!'' Let me see,'
says he, II have flfteen-minute can
celed engagement at that time, so III
accept your invitation; meanwhile
you'll excuse me, dear boy, for have
a directors meeting on at 1923, and
leave for Goplunk, N. j., at 5:4S, but
FIJI be on hand at twelve sharp" And
he records it in his book. This sched-
ule crank has everything prearranged
except his funeral, and if he happens
to have a previous engagement, I'll
wager he'll disappoint the mourners
by postponing that!-"Zim," in Car

BEWARE THE POPULAR MAN
"Good Fellow" Makes the Worst Kind
OF, Husband, According to
Sophisticated Widow.

A sophisticated widow, airing he1
views in New York paper, declares
that the good fellow, the clubable man,
makes the very worst kind of husband
The type of man who is loved by men,
chiefly for his genial faults, is terror
to live with, says this lady, who is
credited with considerable experience.
Such a man is quite incapable of
self-study and of self-criticism; he
knows the men like him and he can't
think why his wife doesn't. The man
who is popular with men, says this
lady, never gets on, either in business
or anything else. He takes pride in
being a good spender and he cultivates
the art Of generously spending, to the
detriment of the art of making. The
wife Of such man Is forever anxious
about financial matters, usually neg
lected, invariably unhappy. And the
men are always so sorry for him, be-
ing tied to such a fussy wife.

HAVE EYE ON THE FUTURE
Worker Must Not Forget That Condl.
tions Are Changing and He Must
Keep With Them.

How's your job-pretty soft?
What is your aim in life?
Are you satisfied if you earn enough
to meet your everyday wants?
Does the position which you hold at
present look good to you for the next
fifteen years-when a younger man
will probably be called to fill your
place?
1t suits you; but do you feel so Sc
cure in it that you think it foolish to
prepare yourself for something bet
ter?
These are some questions which
you should ask yourself now.
Every year conditions are changing.
In few years, unless you lift your
self out of the rut and add to results
through your experience, you will be
dumped back with the novices or
numbered with the "has.beens.''
Do you allow yourself to stand still?
No man can do that. Wake up be-
fore it is too late. Originate some
thing in your business; polish and i'm.
prove your new methods. Make a
position for yourself so progressive
and so up to the minute that you are
indispensable. But you can't go to
sleep on the job. Be alert. Set your
self a goal and fight to gain it.-Chi-
cago American.

To Get On Well With Others.

Elm order to be satisfied even with
the best people we need to be con-
tent with little and to bear a great
DEAL" says the wise Fenelon. He
finds that there must be "a mutual,
loving forbearance. Frequent silence,
habitual recollection, prayer self-de-
tachment, giving up all critical ten
denotes, faithfulness in putting aside
all the idle imaginations OF jealous,
fastidious self-love, all these will go
far to maintain peace and union. How
many troubles would be avoided by
this simplicity! Happy is he who
neither listens to himself nor to the
idle talk of others

The Constitution requires a general

taken in 1890. The cost of taking this
census is paid by the United States

course, take state censuses on their
