It is tm easily communicable and a deadly disease. The only cure for it is a severe' jolt, and sometimes it is the remedy that success is made of. Remember that a little success is often easily come by. Sometimes it is due almost wholly to luck. Some times it follows advancement through favoritism, tvhich is probably the worst thing that can happen to anybody. In any event, no success can sur vive a swelled head. If in the early years of your career you find yourself well ahead of the fel lows who started with you, look out. You have "still a long way to travel. If you are satisfied with yourself, be sure you will never get any better. And if you don’t get any better you will soon begin to go back. Authority cannot safely be entrusted to any man till he shows that his head will not be affected by it. Once let him begin to v make had use* of it, to domineer, and to bully, and he might as well bid any further prog ress good-by. Remember always that big men never get the swelled head, or if they do get a slight attack they soon re cover. If you have begun to think that you are “doing pretty well thank you,” and to pity the poor devils who are not as bright as you are, stop and take stock. Don't think about the meip you have passed, but about the men who have passed you. Consider the important men of your acquaintance, and of his tory. Head their biographies, and note how they continually struggled to make themselves capable of bigger and better work. There is no time to get a swelled head when a man is really going up. It Is the chap who stops to admire himself who falls vic tim to conceit. If you are as great a man as Lin coln, as Shakespeare, as Napoleon, puff and strut all you please. But the chances are you are not. And until yoq are perfectly sure that you are, keep on trying. The study of big men will give you less time to admire your self, and thereby save you from a malady that is absolutely fatal to any important success.
