HOW A PIN BROUGHT SUCCESS

doors. This meaps that you must do every single thing rightly and thor oughly from the first, or you will not make successful business man, for out of little things big things grow and the doing of these trivial things is your training, and all through your work and life you must put these sD- called trifes into practical use. AL though you will want to be acquainted with all business in general way you will want to study the branch you take up most thoroughly" Thus this never to be forgotten evening ended. Guy left school the next day and on the following morning he presented himself at the desk of one of the largest business houses in the adjoin- ing city. He was shown into Wait- ing room where twenty Or thirty boys sat waiting their turn to be called into the private office for the managers of the establishment to interview them. They were well dressed. alert and smart looking lads, as a whole, and each wore a deieeted look when they came out of the office.
 I Although Guy was sure that he
 would share the same fate as the oth-
 CT fellows he quickly responded in person when his name was called. Mir. Foster glanced at him
 keenly as he piled him with many
 pointed questions.
 l Guys manner and answers pleased the manager. but he could give nc tangible reason for it's doing so, fol
 the other boys were all careful, dressed and he had noticed that man,
 of their hands and finger nails wert tcarefully cared for but their teefI
 had been neglected and Guys proved l that no part of his person had beer neglected; yet MT. Foster hesitated fol lthls was not reason enough to prove that he had the making of a good of, 1 flee boy. so he dismissed him.
 As Guy bade him good morning ans went from the room he stopped to picl up a pin. and stuck it in his cont.
 Mr Foster perceived the act, an. decided that he was an exceptiona lad, one who would keep things il their place and have a place for ev. Ierything, so he recalled him
 After few preliminaries Guy wal engaged, as an office and eFrapd ho. to begin work the next morning. Thi' decision never was regretted by eithel lemployer or emple.e.

 mother. He had heen a clerk, seal tbookkeeper and stenegrapher and i lnow one of the leading assistant man agefs' head salesman, and will soon b
 made a partner
 He has saved a small sum of none
 for this purpose, but his abilities an
 capabilities will be an offset for tn , money usually required
 II He always credited lis success t , his mothers early training in teachin l him to pick up things and placin ! them in their right. or in a secur l place.
 Very many times our prosperity an successes hang on very slende F thread at the beginning As Guy \ picking up the pin and placing : carefully away brought him success : fso we should never despise the day ( l small dojngs for great enterprises an big undertakings are made up of man : small things combined together 3 DIANA.
