COMPOSITION ON CLEANLINESS.
Cleanliness is very important
thing in human life. The reason
why the tritiing fellows are called
tramps, because they are always
dirty and full Of filth from head to
toe. This town is full of them. If
one comes around dressed up he is
respected. Some people are not
very clean not only about their
clothes, but about what they eat
and drink, and where they, sleep
A person that keeps clean is respect
ed by all both young and old. You
may take for instance school
there you may see a clean boy who
has plenty of friends while dirty
one has none.

feeling, and with such case and
grace, as well deserved the loud aud
long burst of applause which came
from the heart of every fireman
