THE LAZY MAN.

The lazy man is greatly abused
and perhaps not unjustly Still,
the lazy man is unfortunate. 1t is
possible the lazy man enjoys life,
in spite of abuse and his misfor-
tune, just the same, because he is
something of burden either to
himself or to others No doubt
some naturally lazy men are good
workmen through sheer force of
willpower, or necessity, but this is
rare. Perhaps laziness is heredi-
tary. or it may be, as some con-
tend, disease, but more likely it
is result of early training. The
man who has been trained to work,
and to abhor idleness in himself or
others, comes in time to enjoy
work more than the lazy man en-
joys idleness. The worker may be,
and often is, following the lines
of least resistance when he works.
as surely as the idler is when he
tries; work becomes an enjoyable
necessity, the same as food or
clothing. The tramp is rarely a
tramp through necessity, or force
or circumstances, but merely be-
cause he prefers to pay the price
of idleness. And the price he pays
is not small; at least, it would
seem large to more worthy men.
To comfort and cleanliness he is
stranger, and hunger and exposure
becomes his common lot. A box
car foT "a bed, and possible hand
out for breakfast and another later
in the day, with the hand of busy
decent men always turned against
him, make up the life which some
men choose deliberately. And all
because somewhere and somehow,
the man has formed the idea that
idleness means enjoyment. A good
many boys are drifting toward
trampdom, and can't see it: mis-
fortune is rarely seen until it
comes. The boy who prefers loaf +
ing to school, or work, because the
mistaken generosity of indulgent
parents make such course pos
sible, is destined to become ho-
BIO, or worse, if he doesn't soon
mend his ways. The paternal
meal ticket and pocketbook will
not always be available. and when
they are exhausted, the boy idle
becomes the man tramp, or crimi-
nal, because he has learned to dis
like work, instead of recognizing
it as mans greatest friend.

a witness in a case in which Rufus
Choate was engaged and, being seated
by the eminent counselor, was attract
ed by the notes which he had made of

interest he remarked that the writing
reminded him of two autograph letters
in his possession-one of Manuel the
Great Of Portugal dated 1912. and the
other of Gonsalvo de Cordova, The
great captain. written a few years
earlier. (Any one who has glanced
over these remarkable specimens Of
chirography will marvel that it wa.
possible to make out syllable of such
lillegible scrawls.)

as he sank into his easy chair his son
appeared and, apropos of nothing, que
ried, Say, papa, didn't you say that
God lived up above the clouds?" The
father YEARLY answered. why yes,

wouldn't we?" The man vouchsafed a
brief, II suppose So" We'll, papa,

patience gave out and he said: There
son, don't ask it. Go to your mother

great deal more about the Brooklyn
bridge than you do about God?"
