Encouragement goes a long way to­
ward helping people to make a success
of this life instead of a failure. The
people who most roundly and heartless­
ly score you when you have failed in
your efforts to accomplish what you
have set out to do are the ones to first
pat you on the back and say with more
emphasis than truth: "I told you so.
I knew you would come out all right,’’
when success crowns your efforts.
They know it is a lib, ho do you, but
the bit of pleasantry must be taken witli
a good grace and a smile. The success­
ful party can afford to smile and accept
the congratulations for what they are
worth. Undoubte«lly tlie person is
pleased at the turn of ufiairs for liis
friend, luit he stretches tlie truth when
he hints that he predicted the success,
when on the other hand you know
lie had so openly expressed himself in
regard to the folly of tlie undertaking
and the lack of good sense shown in
following up the scheme.

make a rush for the nearest drug store.
They don’t kxik very pretty when they

work, too, and they wash their faces,
tidy themselves up a bit, and “Richard
