The first class of excuses are the ones he makes to himself. These are often us euerval lug, subtle uml death dealing as III ' nasly cigarette. A clerk sees a piece of work which he knows ought to lie done today, lie knows that the best Interifsts of the business require that this work should not be put off until tomorrow. Itui 1> ■ has not yet reached a point when.; Lie realizes th.lt Ills employer's lute ••s'.« are Identical with Ills own, and per baps he was out late last night and feels a lack of ambition today.

And when he has once set the men tul habit uf excusing himself he g -es on and on binding the fetters wli’ch will forever hold hlin back from uny rise. It Is now only a short step to finding good excuses for not du ng what lie has been told to do.
