 It is time for the enterprsing young of America to for this great newly opening business tunty The will all Europe and much of the of the world depleted of countless kinds of factured products which supply The material machinery of civilization will be largely out Mar And there will a warmth of welcome for and products in nearly foreign country because of the unselfsh whoehearted way in which have entered the and made possible the saving of free civilization
 Young men looking forward a business must therefore broaden their outlook They must stop thinking sales and think in terms of world markets they fit themselves for the practical necessary work of winning desired markets They
 must learn foreign languages foreign geography foreign preference and prejudices.
 Languages are of first importance. Most American business men know only English. Our young men should learn other tongues they hope to win the big prizes of business preparedness speaking and writing know ledge of French Spanish Russian will pay big dvi dends

Our Janitor.

Our Janitor is large and strong.
 He does the chores about the place, He seldom huns a snatch of song, And smiles are seldom on his face In winter he will heat our flat Except when he is on a bat. Our Janitor does iots of things, At least, there's lots of things he
 should,
 He'll fix our door-bell so it rings,
 At any rate, we wish he would. And other things he'll fix up, too, Unless, of course, he's on a stew. Our Janicor has cares. of course,
 Though we may try his job to ease, He says we work him like a horse, Our Janitor is hard to please; To cross him, though, we wouldn't

But the man I mostly envy and I'd rather be the most Is the Man who Cheers the People that he Meets. have seen him on the avenue, along the busy way, I have seen him always welcomed wheresoever he may go, have seen that he is seldom very boisterous or gay. He is quiet (and the best Of men are sol; He is not the hearty mixer he is not the sort that buys" Yet it's every one he's meeting that he treats, For there's friendship in his simling and there's kindness in his eyes. And he always cheers the people that he meets.
