how he got it he seldom knows but
he is willing to distribute it free
without the asking. 1t is seldom
worth anything, has no commercial
value IN the market, is not rated,
is 10 accomplishment nor does it
add TO ones health, wealth or pros
perity. 1t is simply case of do as
| saw, not as | do, and is only an
opinion given for the direction of
conduct. Do you want it? Do you
really need it? Well, hardly. Every
thinking man has plan laid out for
his own guidance. This he will fol-
low regardless Of any advice and
will stand or fall by the conse-
Quences. When you 90 to your pas
tor or your lawyer or physician 1t is
instruction and information you are
after, not advice Your appeal is
for something definite and reliable,
based on experience and knowledge.
You will pay your physician and
lawyer for this because it has a
value, but the fellow with a lot of
advice to dispose of wiltzagiisess3t Co
you for nothing, and as a rule 1t is
only worth just what you pay for 1t
nothing. 1t will not require any
strain on your memory to recall all
the advice offered you when Tommy
had the measles or Annie had the
Group? If you took any stock in 1t
or acted On it, Tommy and Annie
would soon be with the angels. When
you have a cold every one you meet

really good medicine, but you must
know when and how to take it; but
in these days of advanced medical
science this has largely become a
thing Of the past; they have out
lived the necessity.
How can any man tell the motive
that prompted the other fellow to
do any certain thing when he abso-
luteIy knows nothing about it, but
the man that knows it all will be on
hand with a full stock of advice. He
will tell you all about it, will give
you valuable advice. Let him tell
it and if you pay any attention to
him you will get into a peck OF
trouble. Then he leaves you to
founder about in the sea of despair
brought about by his valuable ad-
vice Look out for this fellow. he
is always on his job and is looking
for you, but the man who puts him
self in the other mans place Is a
practical fellow; he will weigh all
the circumstances carefully and Is
usually dependable. There is All air
of security in his appearance and
you feel better when you meet him.
He doesn't argue, he doesn't offer
advice, he just acts; he is the man
behind every successful achleve'

Is simply nuisance.
can recall case in point when
a young man was standing on the
corner of State and Madison streets
IN Chicago few years ago. He was
intently watching a couple of paint
ers at work on a skyscraper on the
opposite side of the street; he was
