suffer. Set a good example to your employes. Take them into your confidence. Recognize ability. Advance worthy ones, and you will find everyone from the office boy to the officer pulling on the rope in the same direction, and you will get full measure of ability from everyone who works for you. It is impossible to suddenly get a perfect working force. A good organization comes through the process of evolution and elimination. Whenever an employe does all he is hired to do and a little more, that employe is in a position to occupy a place of greater responsibility. If an employe is a sluggard or a four-flusher, he may be sure these things will be found out and he cannot hope for advancement. Employes should remember that the most successful institution is the one whose managers are developed from the rank and file. The best houses do not hire high class help from other concerns. The most successful men are those who started in at the bottom of the ladder, and by perseverance and pluck and aptitude they climbed the ladder until they reached the top. Employes should remember that the most difficult problem the employer has to solve is that of good employes. A small want ad. in the metropolitan daily will bring an army of cheap help. The market is full of cheap help, but good employes that are worth over $2,000 a year are very scarce.

Employes, there are golden opportunities before you. Disregard the clock. Bend your energies toward doing your work well. The advancement will be sure to follow. The trouble with many employes is that their minds are filled with outside matters of a frivolous nature. In every large city there are thousands of dude employes, the kind who wear high collars, the kind who spend all their salary for clothes. The dude employe stands in his own light. He wears a higher priced tie than the boss; he is immaculately neat; he looks like a fashion plate, but at the same time his tailor bill is not paid, he is owing money right and left. He spends his evenings in the cafes, and at odd moments during the day he dodges out to look over the racing form and smoke a cigaret. This dude employe sits up late at night. He spends his salary, and more too, in the gay life. He is tired next morning when he comes
