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?
