Our Aches and Pains
When ork hard with our body all day our backs ache and our iven us sweet refreshi+ng slumber to drive away the aches and pains so that on the morroe are ready for the fray
In proportion as we have endured these backaches and pains and are patient in our occupation, the aches will lessen until finally we have laid up a store of energy so that the aches will not bother us
The backaches and muscle-aches and headaches we have, when they come from honest work performed for the benefit of those we love, are sweet aches and pains They represent sacrifice, these aches and pains do, and sacrifice brings happiness The only way to be truly happy is to do so for so a sacrifice for somebody
The aches and pains we have endured in perforenuine sacrifice
We gladly suffer when our efforts are appreciated, and when those for ork are grateful, but there is one pain that never lessens, and it is the pain that kills That pain is a heartache, and the heartache coratitude
After we have endured backaches and headaches for those we love and find the effort has not been appreciated, then comes the heartache, and that is the ache that kills
Whenever anyone does so for you, your first concern should be to show appreciation
Gratitude is one of the e lower on the face of the earth than an ingrate and a snake's belly
Dressing
Many persons look upon the good dresser, and think that good dressing is an evidence of success In dressing, as in everything else, the extreht idea A s
We have all seen the solicitor and the business man who look like a fashi+on plate or tailor's model Each day he appears with a different suit He wears the latest ties, the latest shoes, and appears in the height of fashi+on This extra dresser is a four-flusher, for he is trying to appear as so that he is not Grizzly Pete says ”It ain't what's on a man but what's in him that counts”
In proportion as a , he often tries to make up for it in dress With some it is a case of ninety per cent dress and ten per cent man, and with others ninety per centto find a word of cheer for the good dresser, the writer vainly endeavored to recall some successful business h a period of years, during which he was always dressed in the height of fashi+on We recall to mind several extreme dressers who are possessed of millions, but these millions were the result of accident or inheritance rather than ability We cannot re andthe operation dressed in extreraph of Marshall Field, and we venture to say that there are fifty men in Field's store more expensively dressed than Marshall Field was at the time this picture was taken, shortly before his death Not that Marshall Field was poorly dressed, but that he was dressed like a gentleentleman does not wear extreme collars, extreme neckties, extreoods were of splendid quality, but of n Marshall Field was ninety per cent nizes he has not the ability to make a name for himself on account of his brains, he resorts to dress in order to give him distinction
The ability to dress in the extreme of fashi+on is an advertisement to the world that dress is your specialty, and if you are a specialist in dress you will not be a specialist in business
Declare Monthly Dividends
Make it a rule to declare dividends every month We venture to say to the businessyour rent and ehts, taxes and all other fixed charges When the Government put a two cent tax on your checks you paid that tax You certainly can add one e should be a percentage of your cash receipts
It is usually a difficult thing to draw your profits out of your business in a lump at the end of the year, but if you draw your profits out in monthly installments, you can do so without any burden
The business e of his cash receipts is profit, and this percentage should be deducted every month, less a little leeway to e and put this money away in a special account as a reserve fund if you do not wish to draw the dividends out of your business If you have this reserve fund drawn out in monthly installments, you are ready for attack if your creditors call on you suddenly
