Do You Hear That2


ss A New Orleans paper tells US Of a
printer who, when his fellow.work-
men went out to drink beer, put In
bank the exact amount he would
have. spent if he had gone with them
to drink, He did this for five years.
He then looked up mis- bank account
and found that he had laid up five
hundred and twenty dollars and
eightys six cents. Think about his
success. Three out of his fellow
workmen had in the meantime be-
come drunkards. The water drink.
er bought out the whole printing of.
fee, and in about twenty years from
the time he began to put up his
money he laid aside a good many
thousand dollars. The story teaches
q lesson which every little boy
should lay to heart.
