indeed. And they are so simple that any
child who reads at all can read and under

them great. 1t was his being simple and
plain that made Lincoln himself great.
Now here is a little paragraph by Lin
coin which he made a rule Of his conduct.
Suppose you try to write 1t over and see

BY GEORGIA BELL.
There once was a boy who knew everything
That ever was known by man
(Or at least, he did II you believed his word);
He was made on the knOw-it- all plan.
If any one asked question
Or wondered IL thus were SO.
He'd tell you at once your thought was wrong,
That he was the one to know.
He knew how to run an engine
A house automobile.
He gave his father and mother advice
at every single meal.
He told his sisters and cousins and aunts.
His uncles and teachers, too
The very best way to do their tasks
He'd tell either you'll
He contradicted his mother;
Said apples were healthier green;
So proceeded to eat q quart or two
With confidence quite serene
His father summoned the doctor,
His mother nursed him through,
And now the boy works all day long
To pay for what he knew.
