• An interesting document was brought to
light recently. It was published in 1857 as rules

years.

9,30 p.m., the year round. Store must be swept,
counters, base shelves •and shOwcases dusted,

-ed;
pens made; doors and wipdows : opened, a

bath unless necessary, and then only for a few
minutes.
"The employee who is in the habit of
smoking Spanish cigars, being shaved at the
barber's, going. to dances and other places of
amusement,: will surely give his employer

honesty.
"Each employee must not pay less than $5 a

Selections from Dorothy DiX,s
Rules for Happiness
Make up your mind to be happy. Happi-
ness is mostly a matter of self -hypnotism. You
• can think yourself happy, et- you can think
yourself miserable. •
•
Nail on yOur face the smile that won't
• come off and after a bit you will find that it
stays there naturally. ,
There isn't a single • human being who
hasn't plenty to; cry over, and • the trick is to
make the laughs outweigh the tears.
' Be yourself, and do the things that you
• enjoy doing if you want to be corrIfortabk and
happy. -• •
Don't borrow trouble: You h ave to pay
compound interest on that and it will- bankrupt
you in the end t- if you
There are none of us but have lain awake
at night, -petrified with dread of some calamity
that we feared might befall us and that we felt
would shatter our lives if itShould occur. Gen-
erally, it never hapened, but if it did, it wasn't
so bad after all and we survived it without
serious injury. . • •
Don't cherish enmities and grudges. Don't
keep up old, quarrels. Don't remember all the
mean things people have done to you. Forget
them. Hate is a deadly chemical that we distill
in our own -hearts and that poisons our own
souls. ••
Don't hold post mortems. Don't spend your
life brooding over the' mistakes you have mad',
• or the sorrows that have befallen you. 'What
• is -done is done, and •cannot be changed, but
you ,have • your whole future life in which to
make good.
Do something for somebody less fortunate
than • yourself. Minister to other • people's
troubles. It will make you forget your own.
Happiness is a coin that we keep only when
we' give it, away. ' •
Keep busy. That is a sovereign remedy
for unhappiness. Hard work it panacea for
'trouble. . •• • -;
