SUCCESS Is A HABIT.
By George Matthew Adams.

f. W. Howe, the Kansas writer
and philosopher, says that sue
cess is easier than failure" He IS
right. For constructive forces al
/ ways work smoother than des-
truct5ye forces.
Success is a habit. It's doing the
simple, everyday, useful tasks, that
look very unlInportant, and dong
them exceedingly well
Nearly always the successful man
is the un-noticcd man, the man
who began years before TO do the
/ simple things III the best way that
he knew how and kept it up. The
man who did the Right thing
over and over again
The very successful man never

come over the gradual road, while tn,

himself 10 success, however. And
: he has to pay bills along the way
I But If they are paid, like the habit
itself, his success walks its way,

quering Genius.

made into a habit is sure TO be
