HIS JOB

THE little cab. driver who used to
4 come for me when, on rainy days,
took taxi to save myself from the
inclement weather was cheerful soul.
He was always careful, always cour-
teous, always on time, always con-
siderate Of my comfort He met me
late one especially stormy night when
the thermometer was down and the
wind was cutting like razor through
the heaviest garments.
Don't you get sick and tired of
this dogs life7" asked as he tucked
me snugly into the back seat
"Oh. no." he replied smiling, "you
see, It's my job"
The memory Of his cheerful face and
his suggestive words has helped m.
often since. When the days have been
long, and the callers irritating and the
problems difficult to solve. when
might have grown discouraged over
the honest effort which resulted only
in failure. have tried to take it cheer
fully because it was my job.

world Is quite the same. 1t may be

Very likely yours Is not an easy
job, or at all times pleasant one, and
there will be all sorts of temptations
to slight 1t. to eyade its responsible

every Job has Its difficulties.
No matter how difficult your Job Is,
you will find 1t half done If. when IT
presents itself, you go at 1t cheerfully.
energetically. The work that is taken
up with determination and enthusiasm
loses half its difficulty. And the best
part of 1t all is that, having done one
Job well, you are getting yourself ready
for another. 1t is an old, tried proverb
that nothing so succeeds as success;
nothing so strengthens us as doing
some difficult task WELL
met the little cab driver yester-
day; he had a new Job and a better
one. probably more exacting one,
but he was meeting his new problem
in just as happy and, cheerful way
as ever. He gave me courage.

For every good time you have. for

which you take advantage of, some
body is having to pay. You may charge

the bills come in with interest.
1t is better on the whole for each
man to pay his share of the bill. No
one respects boy who is always eager
to sit in, but who never reaches for the

to make the sacrifices and furnish the
money, son ought to play the game
fairly, to economize occasionally and
to square his half of the account by a
return of manly character md good
