BE DEPENDABLE.

Young man, are you dependable?
Is your employers reliance misplace
ed, or his confidence justified by
your every day conduct? Are you de-
livering day by day with all the
might that is in you? In the abb
sence of supervision, are you shirk-
ing and soldering" or are you work
ing at the same high head of pres
sure and cheerfulness that greets the
foreman's or employers eye? There
is no trait of character that more
surely makes for genuine success
than thorough dependability. That
implies a degree Of capacity, full
measure of integrity and will to do
the thing that lies before you. The
swift flying passenger train, with it's
burden of human life, illustrates the
point exactly 1t is essential that you
keep on straight track. The fewer
curves you encounter the less dang
er you will be in. The train reaches
its destination because it follows a
track, and so you will reach desired
goal by doing likewise. Like the
pulsating, throbbing engine you
must have a great reserve of physical
power. Your organs and function
must not be impaired by disease or
dissipation any more than the me-
chanical parts and functions of the
locomotive may be rusted or weak
ened. A broken flange, stripped
driving wheel, a weak draw bar, too
excessive speed, carelessness, all in
vite destruction and death. And so
with you, young man. Ii you would
succeed, inspect yourself regularly
and keep your mind and body at that
high state of efficiency, willingness
and dependability that characterizes
every detail of modern transporta-
tion.-Cincinnatti Enquirer.

Sermon on the Hog.

My son, consider the hog. He tolls
not neither does he spin, but he is
worth close on to 10 cents a pound
on the hoof and is getting so exclu-
sive that only the very best circles
can afford to entertain him. He
wakes fat at his leisure, knows no
labor and travels to market in a spe-
cial car. Just as first thought he
has considerable parsonage but still
he is only a hog and he really isn't
worthy of emulation. There are
many persons who adopt his way,
however, and fatten on what other
people have gathered together.
Their ambitions runs more to gross
weight than to quality and like the
hog, they are despised. A hog ism t
worth thing until he is placed on
the market. He serves no useful pur-
pose while he lives and it is only as
he gathers fat that he adds value.
He is the symbol of greed and bad
manners, has a bad disposition and
is social outcast but he has been
selling at nearly Is cents a pound
and that is why he is sometimes EN-.
ulated
