beneficial things a man "can do is

brfacb tiny-and vote.it to
s King up things to -planning the
ru, .ik, 10 tith?rnnir the
wheat from the chaff. This siz
iiiif up ' dn.e only in
solitude. Tba benefits to be de
r.ved i'mm w.is sizing up things
ia solitude u: e so great that it is
a wonder -a. ore has not been
written on the benefits of soli
tude.
Plants grow in darkness, yet
the common understanding is
that plants grow in sunshine. As
a matter of tact, thesunshine ab
solutely is necessary to the
plant, but the real 'growing is
done in the quiet darkness.
A man's brain develops in soli
tude, yet the bustle and activity
of business life are as necessary
to a man as the sun is to a plant;
but the real benefit the man gets
and the real time his brain grows
is in solitude.
Before retiring at night, or
even during the day, every man
should take a few moments to
himself and carefully analyze the
doings of the day. He should
' weigh the positive and the nega
tive acts the good and the bad,
the wise and the foolish inoves
thi good and the bad impulses,
and after having done this he
should strike a balance, and if he
Siesthat the bad and deterrent
things outweigh the good and
prjgressive things he should re
solve to get a move on.
Ttie man who goes along with
out this sizing up things in soli
tude is like the merchant who
keeps "no records, who doesn't
look into anything pertaining to
his business, who pays his bills
from the cash drawer and takes
what is left as his profit. He
still will be running the little
butcher shop in twenty years,
while his com petitor who sizes
up things systematically will be
in the wholesale business or, re
tired. . ......
There is do one suggestion we
can make that will result in more
benefit to the reader than to set
apart a few moments each day to
sizing up the situation, for if you
will size up the things in solitude
each day all the truths we have
written about will come to you.
,, ..The success of an institution
depends largely upon the exam
pie set by the boss- If he is care
less in little things.if he is sharp
in his practice, if he does mean
acts, he may rely upon it his
employes will copy him, and la
ter . on when some blow strikes
.the business he1 will find it has
happened through the practices
of the employees, who got their
cue from the boss. .
.Kindness wins "kindness; love
wins love. If the boss is gener
ous and charitable, if he sets a
good example, he will have an es

eas that is of incalulable value.

The law of compensation says
that for every sorrow there is a
compensating joy. .The law o
compensation ; means that for
every:. positive thing there is
something negative to com pen
sate to balance it.
The law of compensation says
that while evil exists,-there is

The law of compensation is the
measure optimists use.
You cannot 5 get away from
this law of compensation, which
is that you pay for what you get

You may eat your dinner firs
