THE MAN WHO IS AHEAD.

A friend dropped into the editorial
room this morning, says the Orange
(Texas) Tribune, and, remarking that
you constantly read a whole lot OF
stuff about men who are behind" hand
I'd us the following effusion, which ex-
lctly fits some people with whom we
are acquainted. Read it and see if you
lon't agree with us:
There's the man behind the counter
And the man behind the gun
The man behind the buzz-saw
And the man behind the sun.
The man behind the times,
The man behind his rents,
The man behind the plough-share
And the man behind the fence.
The man behind the kodak
And the man behind the bars,
The man behind his whiskers
And the man behind the cars
B u 7
They've skipped another fellow
Of whom nothing has been said,
The fellow who is even
Or little way ahead.
He pays for what he gets,
His checks are always signed,
He's blamed sight more important
Than the man who is behind.
All the Editors and Merchants
And the whole Commercial Clan
Are all indebted for existence
To this honest fellow man..
He keeps us all IN business
And his town is never dead,
So we take off our hats
To the man who is ahead.
