I suddenly realized that I had been in the habit of putting off the disagreeable duties, of evading the unpleasant tasks. end they had formed a ghost which haunted me and held me back I tacked up that motto and settied down to work on the disagree able duties I had pushed aside; soon I had them out of the way, and ever afterwards I attempted the hardest thing first. I gave my freshest efforts to the work I dreaded most, and I owe what ts called my success largely to this awakening and change of tactics.” Many a man who has done much good work has fallen short of Success because some disagreeable thing lay in his way which he Would not overcome. A bookkeeper who complained that he was not advanced as rap- idly as he thought he deserved to be had ft potnted out to him that his handwriting was bad. Practice in handwriting was repugnant to him, and he remained in the minor positian. Many people fail because they refuse to do the small things. these mount up in the final reckoning, forming a barrier them and success. If you have not met with the success you think your efforts merit, do not rail against fate, but just cast about for the disagree able portions of your work from which you have shrunk. You may not attach any importance to them. But you can never know how Your neglect of them has changed the rent of your life. Somehow or other it seems that the hard things are the import ant things. Maybe their importance makes them bard The road to success is a rough one. Flowers bloom at the way- aide, it is true, but he who would get on must roll the stones out of Dis way first and lie among the flowers afterward. Lots of us lie among the flowers first, thinking that when we ‘weary of that we will go to rolling stones, But the longer we He, the more distasteful and hard stone rolling becomes. He who defers an unpleasant duty does it twiee. Anticipation Of it thay become a continued torture. It is wise to be it Im the first place and then contemplatiog of it becomes a pleas ure. The shirking of responsibility, the dread failure to take the to itiative lead many a man to keep doing only the things which he likes and thoroughly understands. If ne ts satisfied with only moderate S@ecess, all right. But he must not expect anything more of such Tiethods. One of the most important lessons to learn is to ¢ @uty for which your profession or business calla, th=: some d Seay be in a position to choose that which you will do. MUNIC;/PAL FIRE #NSURANCE and bet ween done with nquer Municipal fire Insurance is a suggestion that comes from the far ‘West. In Alameda, Cal, the Chief of the Fire Department offers the suggestion, as a means of meeting increased municipality expenses and a retort to the fire insurance companies, which have shown a dis position to r rates since the big fire at Balth His argument is not without jogic, for he points out that the tax insurance companies fram $30.000 to payers have been paying for the $100,000 a year, and the average gear. Cire louses have not ex The maintenance of the fire department costs $20,000 a year. A Bre insurance tax would be a popular form of taxation, save with the insurance companies, and 1 with reduced rates the people of Ala meda would find a considerable help In the support of the city gov- ermment, A catastrophe from fire would be met in the same manner as that from any other source, and r rve fund laid by would be a fur ther source of income, ff ju usly handled, ‘The fact that the city must stand the fire loxs would strongly which hoped to retain power, to equip and ke: encourage any administration, fte fire department in the best pos ing laws up-to-date. its build : All of the witnesses were p BLL WERE DRUNK. to have been too drunk at PORT ORCHARD, April 28.—Bob | the alleged crime was Purcell, Indian, charged with hav- | allow their testimony fo stand. re ing murdered Moses Seattle by ttle was the last of the fami! roasting him in a camp fire, was | whose name was adopted by the me acquitted by a superior court jury.) tropolis of the stat RAO L SE Y’s COR NES FRECKLES DO YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THEM?
