THEONEWHd CAN DO THINGS
There Is AlirayH a Demand For the
Exceptional Man
Progressive employers are always
looking for the exceptional man or
woman one who can step out from
the crowd unci do things in an original
way who cai economize in processes
who can facilitate business They are
always looking for the earmarks of
leadership of superior ability They
are looking for the progressive em
nlovee with new ideas who can help
them to be more of a success They
know very well that they can get any
number of automatons multitudes
who will do a thing just well enough
to keep their places but they are look
ing for originality individuality for
up to date methods They want em
ployees who can put things through
with vigor and determination without
lagging whining apologizing or ask
ing questions Nothing can bar the ad
vancement of employees of this kind
Nobody can keep them down If by
chance some one above you is actually
trying to prevent your promotion for
selfish reasons it ought to be very
flattering to you to know that he is
trvintr to keen you back and should
make you all the more determined to
get ahead It is a pretty good indica
tion that there is some reason for his
fear and that you have material in you
for a better place This should en
courage you to redouble your efforts to
do your work so well to stamp such
superiority upon everything you touch
to acquit yourself so much better than
the man who is trying to keep you
down to be so much pleasanter so
much more of a man that it Avill be
only a question of time when you will
get the position you are striving for or
perhaps a better one Orison Swett

There is a popular idea that- a ring
made of gold is the only one that can
be legally used in a wedding ceremony
That is however a fallacy Any and
every kind of ring may be used and
though gold ones are customary there
is no reason whatever why silver or
any commoner metal should not be
called into requisition Numerous in
stances are on record of runaway mar
riages in which a brass ring has play
ed the all important part and the legal
ity of the ceremony has never been
questioned In some cases a piece of
hurriedly tied string has answered the
same purpose as have also circles cut
out of card or paper In not a few
weddings where consternation has
reigned on the discovery that the ring
has been forgotten a door key has been
used instead or a hastily severed link
of a silver chain It is only required
that a ring be used but of what nature
it is not stipulated London Answers
