"MIND YOUR BUSINESS".
A Maine man ' has a copper Cent
dated 1787 on which are stamped th
words, "Mind your business." It w
one of the first pieces of money coined
in the United States. The motto dops
not say "Mind your own business"; that
might be regarded as offensive. The
word "own" is omitted; it is, in fact, un-
. necessary, for he who minds his busi.
ness will not usually have any time for
that of any one else. The coin also has
stamped on it the Latin word "Lucio,"
and bears on one side an embossed
chain with thirteen links for the thir
teen. original states of the republic. In
the center of a circle composed of the
letters of the . "United States" are the
words "We are one."
This copper memento belongs to E,
W. Rowell of Brunswick. He has been
ofiered $200 for it, but refuses to sell,
Hp states that his mother gave it to
him in his early days with the injunc
tion to keep it as long as he lived and
to studv it often with . respect to the
motto, Mr. Rowell says he has found
that good advice.
Looked at from a commercial point of
view, the counsel is invaluable. No
one can succeed who does not mind
his business: it will not mind itself,
and few can mind it for you so well
as you can mind it yourself. A busi
ness that is not attended to will not
even stand still; it will run down.
There must be close attention to details
as well as to the supposed more import
ant features. The wants and desires of
patrons must be studied and met if yon
expect to make gains, and if you hope
to keep up with competitors you must
"mind vour business
