KEEP TROUBLES TO YOURSELF
The World, as a General Thing, Has
Little USe for the Man Ad.
dieted to Self.pity.

The trouble with the man in q little
trouble is that he is inclined to pity
himself and imagine that he is the
only man who ever had a trouble.
All he can see In the moment of his
irritation Is his own burden. It seems
not to occur to him that at the very
moment he is wrestling with his diff
Guilty thousands Of people around him
are fighting against far greater odds
and in much greater danger.
Trouble, anyhow, is a part of the
game of life. Nobody ever went any
where or did anything worth while
without meeting it in one form or an
other. Let others pity you if they
will, but don't waste any time pitying
yourself. The chances are that your
next door neighbOr would be tlckled
to death if such troubles as you have
were all he had to worry about.-Ex-
