Th Habits
of Two Men.
We know two men who have very different habits about
carrying money in their pocket.
One is a clerk in a sm;>U hotel, He says he : does not feel
right' unless he has a nundred dollars or more in his pock-
ets. His friends warn him' against the danger of such a
plan, but he sticks to it. .
The other is a multi-millionaire. He is president of one
°L the largest concerns in America, and yet he makes it a
rule to carry very little ."nyey about,
Of course he has his check book handy, but the money is
safe in the bank or profitably invested.
Business-like muthods of handling one's affairs will help
in the struggle for success—and your friends are sure to
judge you accordingly.
Which plan do you prefer? Think it over.
