Hi. Time Was No, Up.

A man Of a merccnary spirit had
several Sons. one Of whom was on the
eve OF his tweniy-drst birthday. The
father had always been strict dlscipli-
marian, keeping his boys well under pa.
rental charge. allowing them few liber.
ties and making them work hard.
II was with n feeling OF considerable
satisfaction that the young man rose
on the morning OF his birthday and be-
gan 20 collect his personal belongings
preparatory to starting out In the
world
The farmer. seeing his son packing
his trunk. which he rightly judged TO
be evidence OF the early loss OF a good
farm hand. stopped at the door Of the
young mans room and asked what he
was going 10 do.
The boy very promptly reminded his
father OF the day Of the month and the
year and declared his Intention OF strik.
Ing out in the world on his own ac-
count
Not much you won't" shouted the
old man, "at least not for awhile yeti
You wasn't born until after - O'Clock.

Careful inquiry shows that in the great

which cannot be obtained. while every win

thousands OF people are in absolute want
