look. of the outside did not please
him at all. He wanted neat door

with that yawning hole through
which he had pushed earth and
stones. which still Uttered the grass
a little distance away?
Luckily. Sandy knew exactly what
10 do. So he set to worklto close
the big work-hole. 1t was no easy
task--as you can believe. But at
last he managed to pack the hoie
full OF dirt.
Then he had no door at all. And
there he was in the dark, inside the
hall that led to his chamber and
storeroom. But that did not worry
Sandy, You see, he knew just what
he was about. And before long he
had dug a new doorway--a small.
neat. round hole, which you Would

Sandy's house was finished. But he

I'M THE GUY

I'M THE GUY who never wants
to take his girl where she wants tc
so.
Well, what of it? She never knows
where she wants to go, anyway.
Every time l give her her way,
she's not satisfied. AS soon as we
get to place she begins wishing
she had gone somewhere else. So
the only sensible plan is not to pay
any attention to what she wants
to do.
Besides she always wants to go
to places where | find no enjoyment.
She dances, and | don't, and she's
always trying to drag me to a.dance.
She doesn't like the beach so she
wants me to stay away from the
shore. She likes vaudeville, and l
like the movies.
In other words she always wants
to go somewhere | don't want to
go.
You say l should give up my
pleasure and accompany her wher-
ever she wishes 10 go? How do you
get that way? Am l paid escort
or a he-male chaperone? Think
again. She goes with me where
want to go, or she stays at home.
1t doesn't pay to h'imor these girls.
I'm not going to let any girl make
a boob of me. No, nature didn't

PEP AND YOUR JOB.
BY j. j. MUNDY.

Don't get the idea that because
you have been with the firm a long
time it is no longer necessary for
you to give any special attention to
developing new ideas.
Your work may be going along
very satisfactorily, but because you
are so we'll pleased with what you
do you have ceased to give any
thought to improving it, ..E
Remember there are always men
who are anxious to get the job you
have and who are trying to prove
themselves your superior and are
presenting proofs of their qualifca-
tons.
Such men are progressive, ag-
gressive and ambitious.
1t would be we'll for you to take
on a like spirit.
No business man can afford to go
on in the same hum-drum way from
year to year.
No man is successful in lighting
his building unless he keeps the
shades clean, the equipment in per
feet order and shiningly clean to let
the light come through.
Interest needed to show up goods
in new light, to study up better
! grades, to increase values and low
er cost. Shine up your ideas or get
