words "good fellow" cover a multitude of sins, and when a man has done wrong, or makes a mistake, or uses bad judgment, the other good fellows try to excuse his faults by saying--"Well, he is a good fellow, anyhow." The good fellow bursts upon us with his halo about him. As time passes the halo dims and the good fellow peters out. The good fellow who is so popular at the Club today is found tomorrow trying to eke out an existence selling books and life insurance to other good fellows. There is nothing in good fellowship that can be negotiated at the bank. The credit man of the wholesale house does not give credit on good fellowship. Hard Work It is a mistaken idea that hard work kills men. Hard work never killed a man. It is the improper care of oneself when he is not working that does the damage. The more a man does with his brain the less his hands will have to do. The better a man's reasoning and common sense are, the more successful he will be. It requires hard work these days to keep up in the race. You cannot make a success unless you work hard. Hard work will be much easier if you keep worry out of it. Hard work brings success, but to do hard work, the machinery must be in good order. You must keep your constitution up, you must have plenty of sleep and you must learn to eat and breathe properly. No story of success has ever been truly written that did not depict hard work in every line. Success comes by inches, not by leaps or bounds. Success is the pushing forward each day by hard work. Burn the candle at one end only and you replace each day what you have burned, by rest, sleep and recreation. By burning the candle at one end only and replacing it fully each day, your candle will not burn out. Kindness "A little word in kindness spoken, A motion or a tear, Has often healed the heart that's broken And made a friend sincere." There's nothing in business that pays so well as kindness. A man may spend his money, and in proportion as he spends it he reduces his principal. With kindness the matter is different, for in proportion as you spend kindness your principal increases. Lincoln said "You can catch more flies with a drop of honey than with a gallon of vinegar." Kindness is beautiful. It brings round you many persons who are ready to say kind words to you. This subtle, potent influence of having lots of friends to help you by their actions a
