cd in raising the tracks in the

twelve inches higher than before.

Be Cheerful.
Be happy at your 'work. Good
cheer goes far to turn out good
work. Keep out of your mind the
thought that you could do better
if you were somewhere else. Do
your level best where you are; only
on that condition can your service
be truly profitable to you or to
anvone else and improve your
chanceb for betterment. There are
plenty of unprofitable servants on
the market men who have talents
but do not honestly deliver the
goods for which they are paid in
the form of wages or salaries.
This type of servant includes not
merely the day laborer and the
office boy but also the men higher
up. The men who achieve most
are optimists. Exchange.

with Lon C. Hill of Harlingen are

ty. Mr. Hill was expected to join
them at Harlingen and accompany

Blanche Isabel what has put
you in such a bad humor?
Isabel Why I've just had a
communication from Jack and he
writes such a horrid hand that I
can't tell whether it's a proposal
an ode to summer or that cure for
chilblains he promised to send me.
