LET S GET ACQUAINTED.
If I knew you and you knew me,
"l'is seldom we would disagree;
But, never yet having clasped hands,
Both often fail to understand
That each intends to do what's right,
And treat each other “honor bright,”
How little to complain there’d be
If I knew you and you knew me!
Whenever we send you by mistake,
Or in your bill some error make.
From irritation you’d be free,
If I knew you and you knew me.
Or when the goods don t come on time,
And customers send us “nary” a line,
We’d wait without anxiety
If I knew you and you knew me.
Or when some goods you “fire back,”
Or make a “kick” on this or that,
We’d take it in good part, you see,
If I knew you and you knew me.
With customers ten thousand strong,
Occasionally things go wrong—
Sometimes our fault, sometimes theirs—
Forbearance would decrease all cares,
Kind friend,how pleasant things would be,
If I knew you and you knew me.
Then let no doubting thoughts abide,
Of firm good faith on either side;
Confidence to each other give,
Living ourselves, let others live;
But any time you come this way,
That you will call we hope and pray;
Then face to face we each shall see,
And I’ll know you and you’ll know me.

The Market Price Of Success
It is a plain and simple rule of barter and trade that if you wish
to purchase a thing you must go to the man who has it for sale and
ask him how much it costs. Then, if you have the price, and if you
want the goods, you pay first and get the goods afterward.
Tbirty-fjve to one, if you speak to the average sleepy-eyed about
the price of success, and wake him up enough to say anything at all
on the subject, he will let loose of one of the following:
“A fellow has no show nowadays unless his father has a wad of
money.”
“No night work for mine. The boss don’t appreciate it.”
“It’s all luck, anyhow.”
“What’s the use when the boss will put his son in ahead of you
whether he deserves it or not?”
The trouble with these jvenile Twentieth Century Rip Van
Winkles is that they do not realize that success, like tenderlion steak
and real estate, has a market price. Their ideas upon the subject are
altogether nebulous. Success is to them remote and impossible to
achieve except by the merest chance.
Send one of these dreamy chaps to a clothing store to ask the
price of an overcoat on the same principle that moves him in the suc
cess inquiry, and he will look at the amount marked on the ticket and
say:
“I don’t believe it.”
“You want too much.”
“I’m afraid if I ordered it you would sell it to somebody else for
less money while I would be waiting for you to wrap it up.”
“You sold the same thing to Percy for $12.50, and I don’t propose
to pay $16.”
Every lazy man on top of this terrestial footstool will find a dif
ferent excuse for his failure to struggle, and the majority of excuses
will be along the line of alleged uncertainty of success.
But the fact is that there is nothing more certain than success to
every man who is willing to pay the market price for it, and that the
market price is marked in plain figures, where it can be seen by
every man not afflicted with billiarditis, bridge-whist-pox, tuberculo
sis of the nerves, laborophobia, fatty degeneration of the gray matter,
stock exchange fever, rheumatic pains in the intellect, or hemianopsia
of the mire’s eye. When a man is under the doctor’s care it is not
likely that he will take a very firm grip on business problems; and
similarly, when a man or a boy is afflicted with a severe case of
paralysis of the success nerve, it is not to be wondered at if he fails
to display any wild enthusiasm over his future prospects. He can’t
see how to attain the great prizes of life because he is mentally blind;
and because he can’t see, he says it can’t be done.
It is like a man with green goggles t iking oath that there is no
such color as white.
The trouble is that it is so comfortable to wear green goggles
when we look into the future that we don’t like to take them off.
To be very frank about it, the price of success is absolutely evi
dent, and the statement that it is not so is a mere ruse adopted by
the lazy and vague, who prefer to deceive themselves in the matter.
THE HILLS.
Joy dwells amid the morning hills.
Why must we seek the dreary
plain
To plod beneath the burning sun
Toward the far reaches of the
main?
Fair hills of youth, dear, happy
hills,
Oh, to be with y«u once again
And not thus journeying on and on
Toward the inevitable main!

A VISION OF BEAUTY.
It was a beauty that I saw—
So pure, so perfect, as the frame
Of all the universe were lame
To that one figure, could I draw
Or give least line of it a law;
A skein of silk without a knot!
A fair march made without a halt!
A curious form without a fault!
A printed book without a blot!
All beauty, and without a spot!!
