Look Before You Lean.


Once upon time there was young
man who believed what the books said.
He left the farm and came to the
great city to make his fortune and to
climb the ladder of fame. The books
said great deal about the ladder Of
fame, so the young man exercised him
self on copybook morals and poor Rich
ards almanac in order to be able to
chin himself up round at time.
He was especially strong ON run
away horses, and one day, to his graft
fication, he saw a mad steed plunging
down the crowded street. He could
not see any fainting maiden attached.
but still he knew this was his oppor-
tunity. He sprang for the bride, but
hit the front wheel instead and was
projected with violence into the gut
ter Six months later, when he came
out Of the hospital, he was sent to the
Home For the Feebleminded for try
ing to stop a fire marshal in the per
formance Of his duty.
