Slneere Good Wishes for tlre Holtdays

No More

I shall not care again, my dear, Nor weep if you depart, And should you love another lass, It would not break my heart.

I shall not care again, my dear, Nor mourn a broken vowMy heart's been smashed so manjt times It's just scar tissue now.

Caller: Let me see. I know most of your .folks, George, but I've never met your brother Bill. Which side of the house does he look like?

George: The side with the bay window.

Enthusiasm

If you can't get enthusiastic about your work, it's time to get alarmed. Something is wrong.

Compete with yourself, set your teeth, and dive into the job of breaking your own record.

No man keeps up enthusiasm automatically. Enthusiasm must be nourished with new actions, new aspirations, new efiorts, new vision.

It is a man's own fault if his enthusiasm is gone. He has failed to feed it.

And right here is the reason why thousands of men hit high water marks at thirty-five and then recede. They can "do their work with their eyes shut", and that is the way they do it.

They have lost the driving power of enthusiasm. They sleep at the switch. All they see in life is'the face of the time elock. All they hear is the quitting whistle.

If you want to turn hours into minutes, renew your enthusiasm.

Too Far Back

Judge: "Easy, Mister! You're liable to back into someone.tt

Thanksgiving

Do you lack a sense of zest

Though you aim to do your best?

Does there seem to be a mountain in your way? Look around and see the care That your neighbors have to bear And you'll BE THANKFUL.

If your horizon seems grey

As you plod from day to day, Just to glean a mean existence in the ranks; Watch another bear his crossEstimate his grief and lossAnd thenBE THANKFUL.

Do you feel that you have done All you could and still not wonThat success.has failed to lighten up the gloom?

Don't give up, a silver glow

Lies behind those clouds, you know, And soBE THANKFUL.

You have had SOME love and gainTo us all come sun and rainLife's dependent mainly on the point of view. True, you may have missed a lot But remember what you've got And justBE THANKFUL.

Keep It Up

"Let me kiss those tears away, sweetheart," he begged. She fell into his arms and he was very busy for a few minutes. But the tears flowed on.

"Can nothing stop them?" he asked, breathlessly. "No," she murmured; "It's hay fever; but keep up the treatment."

Right Back At Him

"Hello, is this Mr. Brown speaking? Good morning, Mr. Brown. This is Banning, Banning, Banning & Banning."

"Oh, yes. Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning."
