Epigrams of Success

Let me, says B. G. Forbes In Leslie's,
give few of the business epigrams
and notices of a prominent st. Louis
merchant, since they throw light on
his successful methods:
The difference between failure and
success is doing q thing nearly right
and doing it exactly right.
Concentration means STRENGTH. Scat.
teratiOn means weakness. Having chO.
sen one line Of work or business, stick
to It,
Spend fifteen minutes every night re.
counting your days doings and plan.
ming to do better next morning.
Always put yourself in your custo.
mer's place.
Character is the decisive force In
business
am a great believer in the bust.
ness philosophy of encouragement.
Settle clairls promptly. The mer.
chant who does not permit himself to
be imposed upon occasionally will
never get far. ..
If any Of your men or any custo-
mer gets into hole, always leave

a creditabe response to the cali, but
it is expected that there will be a
great religious revival which will be
a great help to the community. Sue

BY The Sunday Forum.
The "get-together meeting" held by
the Sunday Forum on Tuesday even
ing was not as we'll attended as ex-
pected. Everything was in readiness
for the reception Of the strangers,
and their absence showed the lack OF
"the community spirit" which was the
purpose of the Forum to develop. A
program, consisting of piano selec-
ton by Miss Marienne Jeffrey and
a vocal solo by Mrs. Marcel Kicks
Bundrant were creditably rendered. A
reading, by Prof. w. ]. Bundrant,
was highly appreciated. Remarks by
members of the Forum and a review
of the work by Pres. Jeffrey conclud-
ed the program. Several young
ladies served refreshments. Just why
the public will not support the Forum
is question, also whether the
Forum or the public is to blame.

How One Family Saved

In the American Magazine q writer
tells how he and his wife managed to
save money and get ahead:
ION March /, 1905, my wife per.
suaded me to take out FIVE shares Of
building and loan stock, which neces-
STATED my paying S. every month. /
kept at it faithfully and regularly, new
er missing single payment, and many
q month could hardly see where the
S. was coming from, for at that time
my salary was not very large. But I
considered that owed it Just the same
as owed my rent.
II kept at 1t with a determination
that would not let anything interfere,
and after paying In for ten years and
eight months the secretary told me
that the series was In had matured
and that I need not pay any more. So
he gave me check for $1,000. You
can easily figure that at s. per month
had paid just $640.
THE profit represented the interest
on my money for the ten years and
premium on my money which the as
ISOLATION had sold, and when the
amount which had paid then plus In
terest and premium reached $1,000 my
obligation to them ceased, and got
the amount mentioned above, or 1000.
I have often said to my wife that we
were just that much ahead, for feel
certain we would not have saved the
S. each month If we had not made the
start and felt. that we should stick to
it until the stock matured.
with that $1,000 bought $1,000
bond that pays per cent, and instead
Of paying out $50 year we get $50 In
terest each year. This permits rs to
save the $50 each year and in addition
the $50 interest, which is almost dou-
BILE the amount we originally started
with" e.. r.-

The high cost of living is blessing
in disguise to many of our people.
1t is lesson in economy taught by
experience to be practiced with eff
ficiency. They have too often, &C.
cepted the Injuries and rejected the
necessities. The tables are turned
and instead of idolizing the. vanities
of an existence, they must idealize the
realities of life. Put more brains in
your business, and you can and will
overcome the Universities, that beset
you in every walk of life.

HARDNESS.

Happiness is always byproduct 1t

sue it as an end and aim. 1t always
comes as a result of something else.

he can and leaving the issues ITO the
