pay. You may spend your income now and suffer want later on. You may work hard now and play as you go along. You may have happiness each day you live; you can make life worth living if you work. Happiness is compensation for work; no work, no happiness. You may have what you want, but, you must pay for it. Millions cost happiness and often cost health too. The dinner is properly balanced when it has sweets as well as substantials. The sensible person finds the dinner is better if the sweets come after the substantials.

The boss must know how to do the things he hires others to do. The boss who can show an employe his error in a kindly manner and point out a better method, leaves a good feeling in the heart of that employe. The boss who shows his heart to the employe and is concerned in the things not necessarily business will be repaid a thousand-fold in loyalty and willingness on the part of the employe. Employes deeply appreciate consideration, and especially the little kindnesses which are not what might be called business practice. The boss should not be too far aloof; he should be just head and shoulders above those working under him; he should be just far enough above that he stands out as a commander. He should be wi
