The first demand on you it to pro duce on the regular job you hold and give an honest day'i work for the money you are paid. If your hobby claims your thought and attention when you are on your every-day job, you are not an honest man to accept money -for alipshod work. . You whole attention should be cen tered on what you are doing when you are doing it. If you concentrate on vour work the day will be gone before you know it and you cannot then accomplish all you wish. . i.mployer are becoming more1 and more insistent upon undivided en deavor on the part of their men it it service they are paying for and the one who gives the best service will keep his job. i .

Dead Men's Clothes. "The clothes of the dead never wear long" is a common saying in ell parts of the United States. It means, of course, when the clothes are worn by the living.

' He is decidedly "on the in side" at Washington. and hit nails aud his shadow par took of that individuality. The clothes absorbed a part of the titan's "ego" and thus between them and the man became established such a sympathetic relation that what done to the clothes reacted on the man and what happened to the man necessarily reacted on his rlotli"i, It will easily be seen then why "the clothei of the dead never wear long," The superstition is sympathetic magic In its aimpleit form, without any "frills." and bears eery evidence of great antiquity. This belief in a close interrelationship between a man and his clothes is found today among the tribes living in a primitive state in many parts of the world. Some South African sorcerers "are sup posed to destroy their victims by getting possession of something that they have worn," says Cloddi, and adding ' certain "medicine," which they mix secretly and bury.
