sort Of tree, for In spite Of Its name

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
THE JOY OF A JOB.

W on can just about divide people
l. into two groups-those who love
their work. and those who don't.
Fol- most OF us our work Is the chief
part of our life. II is up to us to
choose the sort of work that we are
going TO like. No amount of money
can repay you for unhapplness; hours
daily spent doing something you dis
like are unhappy hours.
But the truth is that the woman
who Is enjoying her work usually
makes more at IL than she would at
other work. She brings enthusiasm
to II, and improves possibilities that
she wouldn't even see II she didn't
love what she did.
In choosing your WORK you are in a
large degree choosing your life. You
aren't going To be able to choose a
second time as far as that goes. To
waste most of 1t in doing disagree
able or boresome work Is "A vast pity.
Many ONE have been doing new
and interesting work. l have heard
dozens of women that they
would never return to the jobs they
had filed before answering the call
of their country. Many had done only
routine work, and hated office life.
Such women are determined not to
fall back into the rut.
The salary is not everything In a
job. You, yourself. are more impor-
tnnt than any salary. When you
plan for a job, study for 1t, seek It,
remember yourself. Look for Joy In
your job, as much as for money. 1t
will pay you double measure.

TOLD SOME WEIRD TALES
old.Time Prospectors Responsible for
Hsir.Raising Descriptions Of
Desert Adventures.

1 wonder what has become o. that
good old character Of the Southwest,
the mining prospectorf l see him no
more, either here or In the smaller cit
les of the desert-only occasionally at
the movies, and then not always true
to life.
The prospector was given TO ro-
mancing. And what a field he had to
work In. Why, In the good old days
there was not a romancer In the en-
tire Southwest but cherished beyond
measure the Colorado desert, for no
matter how great a story he might
unwind, II he located 1t In the des-
ert, 1t was safe, for no one lived there
to prove 1t false.
Well do / remember the chagrin OF
a certain prospector when he was over
reached by two story-tellers In his own
field. He told a good one himself,
about finding a spring Of natural ink In
the desert, but another prospector dec
GRATED the story still further by de-
scribing n mine of natural pens he
had run across. That would have been
all right IL 1t had been allowed to
drop there, but a third prospector
dropped into town a few days later
and placidly related the incident Of his
discovering an asbestos mine from
which he could peel sheets Of natural
plotting paper. That seemed to be
too much for the prospector OF the
first part, who moped around town for
a few days and then disappeared for a
couple of months. We all knew that
something would happen, and sure
enough 1t did.
In due time No. 1 returned to the
city. and / hesitate to tell the story
that he unrolled. He said he had found
a spring of natural gin. According to
the p~rospector, all the animals of the
vicinity were given TO drinking from
the spring, and in consequence there
was a merry round Of pleasure among
them all, except when they occasion
ally retired from the scene to sleep Off
the horrors of swollen heads.
Then No. 2 appeared, and he, too,
had had an inspiration. Out on the
ShoNoiutt huOuiitullo, NNhiit lViio"ihb
a drift of quartz, he had been led into
an invisible city, where he could hear
all the noises of a busy mart Of trade,
and occasionally collided with the wall
Of a sky-scraping building which he
could not see. He could hear the rum
BILE of street cars but he could not
see them, and he was In mortal terror
of being run over, and made his escape
as quickly as possible.
That beautiful story, never yet
proved TO be false, held its W for
years, and when No. 3 appeared a lit
tie later and related what he thought
was IA sockdolnger the general public
apparently did not think 1t an i'm
provement. The story Of the latest ar
rival was that he had found on the
desert an invisible serpent with a glass
cup instead of a rattle, and when the
serpent was alarmed the cup revolved,
producing exquisite music. And that
story has never yet been proved false.

the whole of his humorous master

his accomplished friend, Lady Austen,

increasing detection: 1t was her GUS
tom on these occasions to try immedi-
ate relief. She told him the story of
John Gilpin to dissipate the gloom of
the passing hour. Its effect on the
fancy Of Cowper had the air of en-
chantment.
"He informed her the next morning
that commissions Of laughter, brought
on by his ~recollectlons Of her story,

is no mean feat.

Longfellow's fine ballad, "The Wreck
Of the Hesperus," one of the most ia

Something to
Think
LOOKING BACKWARD.
coElYlM
By r. n. WALKER

r A Fifth Reader which I studied
i In a New Hampshire country school
was a selection which began can aged
man was standing at a window" l
cannot remember any more Of II YER
batim, but the story told was OF the
appeal of the old man to a star to give
him back his youth.
As a boy the story had a peculiar
effect upon me. l felt a great and sor-
rowful sympathy for the man who
sought what II was impossible for him
to attain, and l hoped profoundly that
no one that | knew would ever have
to seek from his star what he knew
In advance could not be granted.
There Is one picture that we all
paint-rich or poor, successes or fall
ures. II Is the portrait of "The Man
i Might Have Been"
We look back over u lives and
see where we might have planned more
wisely, acted more dlscreetly, bullded
more substantially.
There never was a man who. II he
could have lived his life a second time.
would not have varied II In some way.
Very likely the second living would
not have been so free from regret as
the first but we are prone to think IL
would, because we natter ourselves
that we would have avoided the irst's
mistakes.
A tiny pebble will change the course
OF a great stream. There are little
things In our youths that have pro-
found effects upon our manhoods.
Who knows what would have hap
pened to Abraham Lincoln II Mary
Owens had not told him she could not
marry him because he was deficient
In those little links which go to make
up the chain Of a woman's happiness"
She meant that Lincoln In his awk-
wardness did not know how to make
love after the fashion of the day.
But Lincoln was very fond Of her
and many times, perhaps, long years
after she had refused him. he thought
Of The Man l Might Have Been" had
she married him.
You can imagine, too, that she must
have thought sometimes OF what would
have been her history had she been
the wife Of the Great Emancipator.
The man you might have been.
which you picture with greater or less
regret Is only a ~faEciful being, per-
haps less ~lovable, less capable OF good,
less fitted for your real tasks, than
, the man you are.
The man you are Is a reality, and
realities are the only things worth
thinking much about.
Regrets never built much Of a sue
cess. You have to add right action
70 get a substantial and worthwhile
result.
Do not waste your time or worry
your mind about "The Man / Might
Have Been" Bend all your energies
TO the shaping Of "The Man You Are
Going to Be-" He is In the making. He
will be a reality. He is worthwhile
worrying about, II we should worry
about anything.
Don't say, at Is too late" II is
never too late.
There is an excuse for everything
but quitting. Just say over TO yourself
those two splendid lines that Henley
was inspired TO write:
'I am the master OF my fate.
am the captain OF my soul"
And put the accent on the 81"
