Employers Should Learn the Power of Praise as Stimulus to Exertion Determination to Accomplish Requisite to Success Your Duty to Your Mother. BT ORIBOT SWE' MARDEN. Author ot "Pushing tcie Front," etc. (Copyright, 1914, by the iClure Newspaper Syndics! WHEN an employees a thing nn W usually well, taS unusual pains with it. tell him so. ; will stimulate him to do it even bet next time. When you see anyie trying to do his best, who, perha has no one to encourage him, give b a little lift by a kind word or a bit praise. It will not hurt you, and m do him a great deal of good. , Form the habit of louraging people when they do well, ive them a lift when they are down.t costs you only a little effort and Hay make a vast difference to- those y encourage. Some employers se to think that if they do not find fauwitn an employe he should take it forantea that tney are satisfied. But t Is not enough. Employes are but cSren of a larger growth, and they n encouragement They thrive on praiand appreciation, and if they deserve they should have it. Besides, even ffi a purely business- standpoint, tht is no better in vestment an emptor can make than to stimulate those no work for him by giving them Irty praise and plenty of it. by giig encouragement whenever deserved. Many an employ has crippled his business, has strand its growth, has never gotten the k out of his em ployes, that extrapontaneous, glad service which comirom a happy and contented worker.st because of his lack of appreclatlof their services. Few employers r learn the power, of praise as a sulus to exertion. Many are too mean acknowledge ef ficiency; and inenam, iney ininK lr they praise an emye, he will get the "big head": thatien he knows his real value to the oern, he will either demand more sal, or will be so "chesty" that the will be no living with him. Did it ever ocoto you that when an employe is doing his best to please you and further your Interests, to make your business a success, that it is 3 sin to keep silent, a sin not to encour age him, praise him, show your appreci ation of his work? Many an employe has become dis heartened and given up trying to do his best just because his selfish employer has never given him a word of praise or encouragement. There is nothing more blighting or discouraging, especially to the young, than not to get recognition when they do well. They were brought up as chil dren to expect it. They are disappoints ed when they do not get it. and unless made of very superior mettle. they..are not likely to try many times the su perior method which gets no recog nition. It requires very heroic qualities to go on year in and year out, putting ones very life Into work for a man who has no appreciation of it- It calls for rare ability and solidity of charac ter to go on day after day, year after year, doing perhaps many times what one is paid for, trying in every way to advance an employer s Interests, work ing overtime, furnishing new ideas, in troducing more progressive methods, when the employer never shows the slightest appreciation of it, but thinks it is your duty to help him along in every possible way. To do one's level best in the presence of the mean, con temptible silence of an employer who never expresses tne least gratitude, even when he knows perfectly well he is getting several times more than he Is paying for. Is a very difficult matter, and it is a rare person who will con tinue to do his level best under such circumstances. I know employes who would work un til they dropped down for employers who generously commend their efforts and show an unselfish interest in their welfare. There is all the difference in the world between this spontaneous, loving, service and the mechanical, indifferent, "don't care a rap" method of doing things which prevails in establish ments presided over by hard, mean, selfish employers. That little extra service, tht finer quality of work, and the enthusiastic effort which come spontaneously, lov ingly, and not grudgingly, because the employes know that everything they do will be appreciated and recognized, may make every difference to you, Mr. Employer, between-an ordinary and a very extraordinary success. Follow the Vision. IT IS astonishing how much power there is in an intense desire and a determination to accomplish a thing, no matter whether it is hard or easy. As Napoleon used to say, a firm reso lution can make realities out of possi bilities. - ' ' . - As a rule, it is the intensity of that divine hunger within us for achfeve- ment, that, thirst for knowledge that must be quenched, which measures .our success power. . Bury a pebble, and it will obey the law of gravitation forever. Bury an acorn, and it will obey a higher law and grow. In the acorn is a vital force superior to the attraction of the earth. All plants and animals are climbing or reaching upward. Nature has whis pered into the ear of all existence: "Look up." Man, above all. should have a celestial gravitation. The ambition of every true man should be to be more, not to have more. We see today with a clearer vision all the wonderful things that are waiting to be manifested. We know that the manipulator of all human law is mind, and that the master builders are our thoughts, and with tools a thousand times liner than toe methods ol the. past, we "build more stately mansions for the soul. ' - Even in the commonest and most medicore lives there are moments and hours of such nobility and unselfish ness that if they could be made per manent, those lives would be lmmeas- ureably lifted. But If we would see the color of our future, we must look for it in our present; if we would gaze on the star of our destiny, we must look for It in our hearts. The aspiration of today decides the action of tomorrow, and every thought, every impulse, goes to the shaping of both. With every breath, we either move toward the realization of the greater of retrogress toward the lesser. There is no pause in human existence, no neutral, ground in the kingdom of soul. We are always moving, either toward the front or to ward the rear. Professor Peabody, of Harvard Unt versity, used to say that a firm decis ion to be an educated man is itself half an education. If a boy once gets a thirst for an education, gets his ambi tion fired to do something, there is very little danger of failure. "Content ment Is, after all, simply refined in dolence. A determination, to accomplish some thing, obstables or no obstacles; a firm resolution to make a way if no way is open, is an indication of ability to suc ceed. But the determination must come first. Without a firm resolution, with out confidence in oneself, success is impossible. It is the thing we deter mine to achieve at all hazards, which indicates the line of our possible suc cess. The thing we long for, that we are. It is not enough now and then to mount on wings of ecstacy into the in finite. We must habitually dwell there. The great man is he who abides easily on heights to which others rise occa sionally and with difficulty. Don't let the maxims of a low prudence daily dinned into your ears lower the tone oX, your high ambition or check your as plratlon. Hope lifts us step by step up the mysterious ladder, the top of which no eye hath ever seen. Though we do not find what hope promised, yet we are stronger for the climbing, and we get a broad outlook upon life which repays the effort. Indeed, If we do not follow where hope beckons, we gradu ally slide down the ladder In despair. Therefore, whatever happens, follow the vision of the soul. It is the one path that reads to the heart's desire. You Owe It To Your Mother. "Y OU have been the best mother In mother 'on her deathbed. She was widow who had struggled hard to sup port her son. She took in washing and did scrubbing in order to send him to college, but this was the first time that her son nad ever told her that she had been a good mother. She turned her tired eyes upon him and said, "Why diJn s you say so before, Johnr' Think what it would have meant to this poor, hard-working mother if her son had only shown his love and ap preciation for her durlngber lifetime! How It would have brightened up her long, weary yearsl "If folks could have their funerals when they are alive and well and struggling along, what a help it would be!" sighed Mrs. Perkins, upon re turning from a funeral, wondering how poor Mrs. Brown would have felt if she could have heard what the minister and her children said. "Poor soul, she never dreamed they set so much by her!" - That young Abraham Lincoln was no ordinary youth is indicated by his attitude toward his mother. The hard ships of a pioneer life were too much for her delicate constitution, and after they, moved to Gentry vlile, she. laded away like a flower, and died of con sumption, when Lincoln was only 10 years old. It was a terrible blow to the boy's sensative nature. His moth er was burled In a plain wooden box, under large trees adjacent to his cabin home. Every day for a long time he would sit on the grave and weep bit terly. He became sad and melancholy, and "a far-away look crept into his eyes," which never left him. The boy was so impressed with the fact that his mother should have more fitting burial that nine months after her, death he wrote a letter to Parson Elkins, whom they used to know in Kentucky, asking him to come and hold a burial service for her. The good minister came 100 miles on horse back, and preached the funeral ser mon over the grave. The neighbors came from many miles around In ox carts and on horseback. This Incident showed that young Lincoln u made of no common "staff." This tender side of his na ture cropped out all through his life. Many years afterward, when he was President, he said: "All that I sm or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." I have never known a man who wus neglectful of his mother to mtike a real man. Such men are Invariably selfish and mean. General William 890th. founder of the Salvation Army, shortly before his death, said: "I had a good mother. I loved my mother. From Infancy to manhood I lived in her. Home was not home to me without her. And yet one of the regrets that has followed ma to the present hour is tnat 1 did not suffic iently value the treasure while I pos sessed It, and that I did not, with suf ficient tenderness and sssldulty at the time, attempt the Impossible tNak of repaying the immeasurable debt 1 owed to that mother's love." You owe it to your mother To remember that she Is still a girl at heart so Xas as dellcat JHUo at- tentlone are concerned, even thou ah 1 she imy be old and wrinkled. To Berk her comfort and pleasure In all thlnss before your own. To minlfeit an Interest In whatever intfrepts or amuses her. To maka her frequent, simple pres ents and to be snr that they are ap propriate and laKleful. To give per your full cnnfldem-e. and never 1I0 anything which you think she would disapprove. To mk her a pvri.k.r, mn fr mm your different aaes will permit. In all your pleasures and recreations. To lift all the burdens you ran front shoulders that have grown stnored In waiting upon and worKlna for you. Slot Machine for Joll-. The Independent.
