LOVE YOUR JOB

Are you trying to climb where the
chosen are;
Where the feet of men are few?
Do you long for "job that is worth
ones while"
Well, here is a thought for you;
The pots of gold at the rainbow's end
Are sought by the teeming mod,
But the fairies who guard them choose
as friend
The man who loves his job
No matter what grip of hand he has
How poor or strong his brain,
There's always a place for the man
who loves.
His work with might and main;
Does he dig a ditch or blaze trail
Where the dreams of man may run
No clods of earth shall shoulder him
From his place out in the sun!
1t isn't the kick, it's not the pull,
That brings the strong man out;
But it's long time work and it's all
time will,
And a cheerful heart and shout!
Have you faith in yourself? Do you
want to win?
There's just one thing can bring you
in
With the winners-love your job?

LOOK AHEAD

Why do you suppose your eyes are
placed in the front of your head m-
less it is for the purpose of looking
ahead? Since you don't ordinarily
walk backward, it is more necessary
to watch the ground lying before you
than that which you've just passed
over. 1t is just as true that little
foresight would save many people
from the regrets of ''it might have
BEEN" But if the mistake is already
made, it is far better to spend your
time in thinking how to avoid another
than in recalling the possibilities of
the first, since, though recollection
may be profitable, it is powerless in
itself to correct.

WATCH YOUR CHILDREN

Don't dream too much about the
day when your son or daughter may
be President or Mrs. President of the
United States, but watch the tenden-
cies which they display in childhood.
These tendencies may develop into
talents equally as valuable as the no.
torious principle of American free
dom. Has your boy skillful fingers
with ''hurted things" and steady
nerve? Then he may be one of the
great surgeons who do so much to
alleviate human suffering. Or does
he love to build and build, fitting his
materials together with sense Of
symmetry and balance? Perhaps he
will some day span great cities Of
commerce, or influence a new era of
architecture. Does your little girl
worship beautiful colors and love to
cut and fit? Then perhaps she will
sometime be proprietress of wonder
full modiste shop, or furnish the mass
es with much needed education on
the art Of interior decorating. Or may
be she prefers figures and riddles and
is quick to go straight to the point of
q matter. Possibly she will be an in
f1uential business woman. or, all in
good time, even a woman senator.
But neither of them have half the
chance of attainment unless such ten
denotes are directed and developed
carefully while they are in the form
ative stage

DON'T CARRY YOUR
BUSINESS TROUBLES HOME

Don't carry your business crouch
into your home. It's like taking mud
dy feet into a Chippendale drawing
room. This advice doesn't preclude
sane discussion of business troubles,
for no man is above cleaning an un-
looked for suggestion of value from
the woman who keeps his household
expenses properly within the limits
of his income. For the same reason
he has no right to come home dis
gruntled, throwing everything into a
state Of confusion, which his wife has
to put in order after her days work
He would not expect his business
partner to bring him his unfinished
work at the close of the day. Be-
sides, the amount of energy expended
in blowing off steam would fix the
cause of the crouch so that it would
never stick it's head above board
again.

GIVE THE BEST

There are loyal hearts, there are
spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and
true;
Then give the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your heart will
flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith and a score of hearts will
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
For life is the mirror of king and
slave.
IT'S just what you are and do;
Then give the world the best you
have
And the best will come back to you.

new all the time, and must think
apace. Many forms of entertainment
which appear vicious from a distance
become tame at close sight. Also the
kind of amusement is not always so
important as the particular form
which that kind happens to take. In
fact it is sometimes a choice of two
evils-many times the less dangerous
course than the denying of all recre-
alton.
