Every man, sooner or later, must
eat his peck OF dirt, is the old provcrb
Which means that every man has
some disanrecablc task that he has to

Just the other day young man
who had been out Of work tor long
time found position as porter In a
hotel. He had been raised TO good
things In this life. He had graduated
AZ college, had found a good position
but the hard times struck him and he
was down to his uppcrs He was glad
TO get position az porter. lie wa.
too proud to beg, too honest To steal
aud TOO much Of man to refuse hon
est work of any kind, even though !
meant distastcful things. Aud poi
terlng does mean distasteful things
n, Being In a third.class hotel, porterin
means harder work than most peopl
imagine. One TASK In particular wa
q especially disagreeable. But be foun

. morning he could do that work an
!. have II over for the day, giving bill
d the rest Of the time for his more col
. genial tasks. He did that very thin
q much TO the surprise Of his employe
! who was also keeper OF the hotel. H
,e did that disagreeable work cheerful
b willingly and gladly. He knew th'
IL had to- be done. That doing IL ar
doing II we'll meant the holding Of h
