OLD SURGEON

The surgeons duties require clear
judgment and a steady hand. slip

A member OF the Pittsburg Com
ference tells an interesting little
story on one OF his own boys. The
incident happened when the lad was
quite young. but after he had learned
10 pray. He had some trouble one
day with his older brother. They
came 10 their father with the matter
as he sat at work in his study. The
merits OF the case were examined
into by the father, and when he was
through IL was clear that the younger
boy was entirely in the fault.
The youngster also keenly realized
that fact After giving the boy a
kindly admonition, the father turned
again TO his book. Presently he
heard the little fellow over in the
corner Of the room praying. Among
the petitions which reached the
fathers ear was this one: 80 Good
Man, do help me. for I'm caught"
It's the old story Of the child
being father 10 the man" There Is
a suppositiOn current that there are
some praying folks In the world who
really don't work much at the busi-
ness except when they get about
where the preachers boy was. His
case had this merit in il, that he
frankly confessed his unpleasant posi-
tion; acknowledged that he was
caught" The full-grown man who
pleads for help on the same ground
usually shuns a confession OF his mo-
tive as long as possible Pittsburg
Christian Advocate.

THE FOOL SpENDERS,

Saw!
Some of our people chuck their wads
Is a sight for men and gods
And the bunch with the stuff 10 sell
Get out and yell
With wild delight
Al the sight.
They know
Which way the dollars so.
And they throw
Their nets over the easy marks
Like a flock of larkS
But what do the spenderS care,
80 long as they have the fare!
No matter what II is that calls
For money, great OF small.
The spenders do not count the cost,
But want 20 pay II all.
lhey buy dinner az price
4 O make lucullus weep,
They laugh az figures that would put
Cahgula 10 sleep.
'rhe tips they hand out everywhere
For any little thing
That's done for them are equal TO
The ransom of king
They scatter money everywhere
For what they eat and drink,
The clothes they wear. the rent they pay
And nothing Is gezink
Unless it's cheap by gum for that
They Will not stand. and they
Have no regard for anyone
Who doesn't make them pay.
The price Is standard IN their minds;
There's nothing else IN sight
And those who cater 10 that kind
VIII make the price all right.
OF course Its vulgar likewise wrong.
But there's no cure. and those
Who haven I got must get IN next
To where the money goes
And grab of all they can till they
BECOME the spenders. then
The other bunch will skin the rich
Till they get rich again.
And so on al iu6nitum,
And then some.
