Advice With Exceptlons.

"Take the first job that offers. Do it with all your might. Your worth will soon be recognized by your em ployer, who will reward you with a Yalse’ and with his daughter’s hand, and you’ll live happily ever after.” The returning soldier Is already being fed upon this truistic advice which successful old age delights to hand out as it were the sole “secret of success,” which It Isn’t by a Jugful. The wise young man, accepting the good will of counsel, discounts in his planning three counter-possi-bilities : (1) that the first Job offered may not be one sor m which the applicant Is adapted; (2) that the employer may not be the all-wise, sagacious, broad-minded person which the success books Invariably post him as being; (8) that there either (a) may be no daughter or (b) she may prefer somebody else. With these and other similar qualifications the spirit of the work-hard-and-you’ll-prosper wheeze still stands as admirable.— Lowell Courier-Citizen.
