A
Fair
Chance
- -
-
aNa~@@a@aaaa@aaaalaa

Every man owes himself fair chance
He owes his business fair chance.
Because his business is the machinery
through which he pays himself for his work
A fair chance means that he gives his
business every known opportunity to flour
ish.
Business is like gardening.
The gardener who picks out the shady
corners for his sun-loving plants doesn't
give them a fair chance to turn into food
and flowers
The business which keeps It's offerings
in the dark doesn't give them fair chance
to turn into dollars.
The man who expects the public to
come to him without telling it what to come
to him for isn't doing himself justice.
A fair chance means, among other
things, turning on the sunlight, the sun
light Of publicity.

came down looking like a well-decO-
rated Christmas tree and nearly
drove MoIlie wild by telling her the
plans she had made for her social
activities the coming winter, she did
say one or two things when we were
alone that set me to thinking.
l finally succeeded in tearing her
away from MolIie by telling her she
should come out on the boardwalk
for an afternoon ride in a wheel
chair. "All right" she said, 'Tu find
Mr.. Trent and We'll CO."
But, mother" I eXpOstulated, 81

My dear Margie, " she said in such
a superior manner that I felt my
teeth CRATE, q have left Mr.. Trent al
together too long already"
l turned in surprise. You don't
mean to tell me you are not in the
habit of leaving Mr.. Trent for a
whole morning now and them"

triumphantly, and I want to tell you
another thing, Margie, which you

not seem to have found out. This

l did not let him forget me. l was
always his first thought.
My dear Margie, the woman who
shows a man she depends on him will
in most cases be taken care of, and
the woman who begins by being in
dependent will end by being neglect O.
ed. Married people should be one
and 1t remains with the woman to
see that this is so.
1T is perfectly human to love the
person who is forever in ones mind,
and l have made it my business to
keep myself in the minds of my hus-
bands.
Il think it is suicide for MOlIie to
stay down here and let Chad go up
to the city while her leg is mending,
and l think one of the most foolish
things you ever did, Margie, was to
move over into that wing of Mrs. Sci
wins house and let Dick ensconce
himself away from you on the other
side"
But, my dear mother, no one
wants to be bothered with an invalid,
especially a business man. I knew
Dick had his work to do and he could
not be bothered with me all the time
that l was log"
He took you for better and for
worse, didn't he? My dear, a man
has other responsibilities besides
providing for his wife's material
wants. When I was first married to
Mr.. Trent, he seemed to want at
times to get away and go back to
his friends for an evening.
He even suggested that he go on
a hunting trip that he had taken an
nually before his marriage. I sim
ply made him understand, with him
away l would be so lonely that he
really felt fattered at my devotion.

who is happily married you may be

TO CUT EXPENSES
Abolishes Office of Field AGENT for
Coiored Orphans Home Near
Huntington.

Governor John J. Cornwell as
abolished the Office of field agent for
the colored orphans home near Hunt
ington. He directed a letter to H. H.
Railey, who occupies the position, to
the effect that beginning March 20,
the Office will be considered as abol-
ished, and his duties were termi-
mated that day.
The governor said in the letter to
Railey:
"Inasmuch as section 8 of chapter
"a, Acts of the 1911 legislature pro-
vides that the board of control shall
appoint and fix the salaries of such
officers as it may deem necessary I
am of the opinion the creation of 70 r
office and your appointment to it by
the governor was without warrant of

time before his retirement by Cover
nor Hatfield The work which de-
veloped upon the field agent will be
done from this time by the superin-
tendent of the home.
