Watchinq the Clock

There is only one man who may justly anticipate advancement through watching the clock" He is the cockmaker.
 The man who measures his service down to such fine point that he does not give grain over is very apt to keep measuring that same service in the same position as long he lives. It is the who is willing to give bit than he is actually paid who usually advances-his appreciation com- ing in the form promotion which ultimately brings to him money for the overtime work he has done just surely though he had been paid for it at first.
 watching the clock is undoubtedly the most popular of indoor sports for there are more clock watchers than there people who take live interest in what they doing in the world of work. One thing is certain and that is he who interested in his work is not working at the task he should be-
 James J. Hill at the time of the Civil war was occupying the position of mud clerk" on a river dock in St. Paul. He it was who bossed and helped the crews unloading and loading the boats His pay $40 month and he did like the work. He set about planning for bigger things. In days people cut wood for the winters fuel in the nearby hIlis The destined builder of the Great Northern that this supply would notlast forever. He made contract at a nominal price with the only railroad in Minnesota line some eleven miles long running to the falls of St Anthony, Minneapolis Through
 this contract he had the exclusive privilege of hauling wood for fuel that line. When the day came that fuel had to be hauled the cityJ i'm Hill got his reward and from this sprang the great Northwestern Fuel company, the foundation of all Hill did thereafter.
 Any ncipient Jim Hill who has to watch the clock because he is not in love with his job may find a moral in that story and by using his brain grasp some opportunity to lift him out of his rut. Opportunity is every hand, as any intelligent man of middle age knows for he now see the chances he overlooked in passing.
