Advice With Exceptions.

"Take the first Job that offers. Do it with all your might Your , worth will soon be recognised by your em ployer, who will reward you with a "raise’ and with his daughter’s baud, 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 ft were the sole “secret of success,” which it isn’t by a jugfol. The wise young man, accepting the good will of counsel, discounts in Ms planning three counter-possi-bilities : (1) that the first job offered may not be one for 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 Mm 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.
