KEEP TROUBLES TO YOURSELF

The World, as’ a Thing, Has Little Use for the Man Addicted to Self-Pity. The trouble with the* man in a little trouble Is that he is inclined to pity himself and imagine that he is the only man who ever had a trouble, i All he can see in thq, moment of his Irritation in his own burden. It seems not to occur to him that at the very moment he is wrestling with his difficulty thousands of people around him are fighting against far greater odds and in much greater danger. Trouble, anyhow, is a part pt the game of life. Nobody ever went anywhere or did anything worth while without meeting it in one form or another. Let others pity you If they will, but don’t waste any time pitying yourself. The chances are that your next 7 door neighbor would be tickled to death if such troubles as you have were all he had to worry about. —Exchange.
