When the Shoe Factory Whis
tle Blows.
When the shoe factory whistle
blows young men and women in em
ployment often havea stock complaint
to make, that is, their employers
seem to regard them as so much
machinery. They bewail and lament
the absence of cordiality on the pan
ot their principal, and envy the re
gard that seems to fall to a PAVOB-
HD few. They can't understand.lt.
In their estimation one person y as
good as another.
Do they ever balance theJfKattec
in this way? lObnia as Lite in the
morning as possible, and my main
anxiety is to got away as quickly as
1 can at Mftotjf or jght when the
whistle blows. doTust w hat I am
obliged to do and no mor

plover. 1 1 i nut my concern il
matters 'go wrong. 1 am not here
to look alter anybody's interests but
mv own. From 7 to ' is an eter
nity, and the dinner hour should be
1 20 minutes long. At night when
the whistle blows, the quicker 1 can
get away from work the better.
Myself first, my employer last.
Pleasure before business. As many
holidays as possible. Ten hours pay
for seven hours work. Againstthis
is the sentiment of one of the FA
VORED PEW.
I give my employer the very hest
in me. It is my capital to do my
best, f be does not appreciete me,
some one else will. Good work is
my indorsement. My employer's
interests foremost. 1 use every
incident for his advantage, get a
suggestion from a tritle and do not
consider time. I am anxious of re
sults first of all. When 1 am fully
interested in what 1 am doing, the
whistle at night is the most unwel
come of sounds. As early as possi
ble in the morning and as late as
necessary at night. I do all I can
and watch for an opportunity to do
more.
BALANCE THE two.
Is it any wonder that one is a
worn out machine and the the other
a respected assistant'.' It docs not
take long for th' employer to esti
mate thi' attitude of those under him.
Sons and daughters and all whom
it may .concern, tight your own bat
tles, hoe your own row. Ask no
favors of any one and then you arc
not in debt and are not expected to
return any favors and you will suc
ceed a thousand times better than
one who is always beseeching sonic
one else's influence and patronage.
No one will ever help you as yon
help yourself, because no one will
be so heartily interested in your
a Hairs.
Men and women who have made
fortunes arc not those who have had
6,000 given them to start with,
but the boys and girls who have
started lair with a well earned dol
lar or two.
Frankness, enthusiasm, willing
ness and energy sieak in unmistak
able accent, and are the only true
way to success.
Wait for opportunity, but better
still, make your opportunity, .wait
for nothing, especially do not wait
idly for the whistle to blow.
As eyer, Zip.
