We have noticed the happiest man
many time. He works for his living
and he gets a good one. One thing we
notice is he Is q man of fine habits;
doesn't squander cent on foolishness
He saves his money and is getting
ready to buy some property. He loves
his home, plays with the children,
reads good books and keeps company
with his wife. Because of his good
habits he saves q little which will
give him chance to make an invest.
ment.
And then there is another thing-he
Is reliable man. He does good work.
He will not smooth over bad work. He
is honest in whatever he does. Every
dollar he gets represents just that
much of honest labor. 1t is this large.
ly, that makes him prosperous and
happy. Water keeps its own level,
and SO does conduct and character
and prosperity. If man is mean and
low. so will the consequences be. He
cannot be one thing and his expert.
ence another. A low-lived man may
grow rich and happy. but 1t will not be
for long. Anybody can tell what's the
matter with a man If he is with him a
day; he will soon see If the other is a
spleen, stomach, an uplift or hope.

York state, and spent much of his
time hanging around the local livery
stable. One day he was passing
