1T Is EASIER

To sit down and rest in front of an OBJ
stacle than 1t is to surmount IL;
To utter the foolish word you thought
Of speaking than to throttle it;
To go with others. though you are con-
vinced that they walk an unwise way,
than to walk a lonely path;
To build a castle IN Spain than a three
room cabin on this planet;
To find the faults in your neighbor
than the virtues, for the former stick out
the most;
To heed a handbook of etiquette than to
observe the Golden Rule.
But do you suppose 1t pays 80 well in
the long run7

FABLE OF MAN WHO REFoRMED.

~ NCE upon time there was GER
Il tain man who led a wnd and Riot
~ Gus Life and Painted 'er Red, and
could draw a map of the Primrose Path
from memory at any time and drank
with the Boys and Girls the night before,
and took Bromo Settlers with himself the
next morning and knew how exceedingly
difficult it is to fit No. 7 hat on a No. 19
head In short this certain man was Real
Dissfpated so very dissipated that every
body felt that he either was Training for
Practical Politics or else was n. G.
You may Judge how Real Dissipated he
was when 1 tell you that at last 1t came
to such a pass that all his acquaintances
said: He is such Brilliant Man and so
Good Hearted, And he might do so much
IL he would"
For such Is the world. and IL man is
a Worthless Character who neglects his
family and blows in his shekels on Booze
it almost always freely admits that he is
a Brilliant Man and SO Good-Hearted- Did
you never notice 1t. Agamemmon?
But after a while the certain man con-
sidered the matter and Took Tumble to
Himself, saying: go to! Henceforth
will forsake the Giddy, Mount the Water
Wagon and Travel with the Truly Good"
So he Forsook and Mounted and Travelled
as aforesaid At first he could find no
Joy in Church Socials, but at last he real
lied that they are full of True Bliss II
one only can Place his Finger on 1t.
So it finally came to pass that this GER
tain man became as Good as They Make
Them, and would Shy Violently If
Breeze from the Primrose Path was
| Waited In His Direction, and he was rec
ognized as a Great Hand at instructing
! dear little children in the Way They
Should Go, and he was Extremely Sue
| cessful and gathered to himself Dollars
Galore and became a Prominent Citizen
! But in SO doing his Success got in the
way of other people who also were Lay
| ing for Success, till, one and all, they
remarked, Tell with him! He merely
| is a Common, Ordinary Chump who Is
Playing in Great Luck. and, as far as his
Brains are concerned they might as well
be selected from the Mollusks on the
Beach. Moreover. his Heart is but Pet
rified Organ which never suggests any
! thing to him.
! And tins sort or comment ran clear
down the line.
| MoraI-If you wish to be described as
| brilliant and good-hearted stand in the
| way of nobody's success but your own,
| and the chances are that you will win
out in the game-if you are satisfied with
/ that sort of a winning.
