Man Who Is Ahead.

In almost every newspaper you pick

OF gush about the man behind the
counter and the man behind the gun
the man behind the buZzsaw and the
man behind the sun the man behind
the times and the man behind his
rents; the man behind the plowshare
and the man behind the fence; the man
behind the whistle and the man behind
the cars; the man behind the kodak
and the man behind the bars; the man
behind his whiskers and the man be-
hind his fists; and everything is en-
tered on the list.
But they've skipped another fellow
Of whom nothing has been said-the
fellow who Is even, or little way
ahead: who pays for what he gets
whose bills are always signed. He's

IL any little word Of ours
Can make one life the brighter,
Il any little song Of ours
Can make one heart the lighter,
God help US speak chat little word,
And take our BIT of singing,
And drop it in some lonely vale
To set the echoes ringing.
If any little love of ours
Can make one life the sweeter,
II any little care of ours
Can make one step the feeter,
II any little help may ease
The burden of another,
God give us love and care and strength
To help along each other.
II any watchful thought Of ours
Can make some work the stronger,
Il any CHEEKY smile of ours
Can make its brightness longer,
Then let us speak that thought to-day,
With tender eyes a-glowing,
so God may grant some weary one
Shall reap from our glad sowing.
