And it came to pass that after he had advertised his gods, then came unto him great multitudes from all the regions round about and did buy of him. And when his competitors saw it they mar- vHed among themselves saying, “How be it that this man is busy while we loaf idly about our ''oors?” And he spake unto t mi: “In this fast age of push and rustle it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a man to flourish without ad- vertismg » > We would like to make a pro- 0'«t against some of our young ladies concealing a very pretty forehead behind a lot of loose hair.

Speak a good word for your neighbor, if you can; if you cannot, don’t ever- lastingly enlarge on their faults, If you have become thoroughly disgusted move aw.ay; go some where where things will suit you.
