THE AVERAGE MAN.

When II comes to a question Of trusting
Yourself to the risks OF the ROAD,
When the thing is the sharing OF puroenS'
The lifting the heft of a load.
In the hour of peril or trial.
In the hour you meet as you can,
You may safely depend on the wisoom
And skill of the average man.
IT'S the average man and no other
Who does his plain duty each DAY,
The small thing his wage Is for DOING
On the commonplace bit of the way.
It's the average man, may God bless hiHi'
Who pilots us. still in the van.
Over land, sea. travel,
Just the plain. hardy. average man.
So on through the days OF existence.
All mingling in shadow and shine.
We may count on the everyday hero
Whom happy the gods may divine. ,,,
But who wears the swarth CRIME OF his calling
And abors and earns he can.
And stands al the last with the noblest,
The commonplace average man.
