Go Slow at First.

Learn to walk, young man, before you try to prance. Don’t hunger and thirst for a boudoir car while you are the junior clerk and have to sweep out the store and sleep under the counter. If you are a young physician, don’t expect to make it all in the first year. Your father rode four or five horses to death before he wap able to put an Axminister on the office floor, and lean back in his sleepy hollow chair, and announce that he would answer no calls after 6p. m. If you are practicing law, remember that the old attorney whose office you are sweeping out wore white hair, and not much of that, before he began taking whole farms for single fees in small cases. And bear in mind, too, that they didn’t spend every cent of it as fast as they got it.— Bolt. Burdette.
