Y In the dir around Christmas
The Riddle lives a miserabl,
life from the first of December trying
to do his best so that old Santa will
be good to him. The average man
starts In around Christmas to think
about the New Year resolutions he Is
going to make. All his friends, wise
and otherwise proffer advice gratis
until the poor chap Isn't sure whether
the New Year is coming or going and
he himself Is hopelessly lost. II he's
wise he will go Off by himself to a
quiet corner and turn over the events
Of the past year and strike balance
on the results. The chances are that
he viii feel rs clipper as a squirrel
In May when the Job Is finished. There
will be many instances where the
"mlght have been" will condemn what
was.
Life has many lessons that are hard "a
learn.
One Is that you can't put your abll-
ity In cold storage until needed for
some great scoop. Your present job
may. be no compliment to your ability.
but you dnre not slight It for that
reason. To keep yourself fit you must
constantly employ your talents to the
limit. AZ soon as you begin TO go cnsy
on them you start to decline. Unused
potentialIties deterlornte. Labor saw
Ing devices and mnn.made expedlents
won't work out with the Divine mas
terpiece. God never intended ability

purposes. The wise man tukes stock
daily 10 see whether or not he is meas
uring up to his privileges. This Is the
season to begin the practice OF II.
Mans measure Is best taken sphen he
tolls for The good of Others
Much that he does In this line IL
not appreciated. The knowledge OF
this kills some folks ut the start. Most
men do their best when the thing they
advocate Is popular. A few indom-
table souls are fired to the heroic
point by opposition. II takes the big
souled man 10 struggle on when he
sees few results and gets little thanks.
He works for the sake of the thing to
be done. and that Is the evidence OF
the master-workmnp. II takes the
stafwart TO keep on the Job In cloud
and sunshine with his best always Ms
the goal. II you are willing to take
stock and profit by the results shown,
you may be In that class soon.

He has failed to keep the pace be-
cause his ideals and ability did not
mix properly; or he has been short on
one or both Of these essentials. There
are many sincere souls that are fall
ures because they have gone at high
speed with bolt loose somewhere.
No wonder they wrack themselves to
death. The stock taking will help
them TO see where their personal mech
anism needs repairs. Weakness In
any one part binders the best work OF
the whole. For the sake OF tempo

future usefulness. The past has been

petitors for lack of success. II you
had been able to deliver the goods you

Of the trade. They have won because
you have failed somewhere. Most fall
ures begin with the mental apparatus.
Look well to yours for the New Year.
