lhpREssING A STATESMAN

From France comes a funny story.
certain town Is served by the state
railway. Some time ago 1t was de-
cided that the town needed a new sta
ton. A start was made with the
usual ceremonies and the work was
begun.
But. Ia the manner Of Official con.
struction the world over. it Jagged and
dragged until about six months ago.
when work ceased altogether. The sta.
don was half finished.
One day not long ago the townspeo
pie were astonished to find the station
invaded by large party of workmen
who were creating tremendous noise
Bustle and activity were everywhere.
and the waste material around the
unfinished station. the accumulation of
months, was cleared up.
Naturally the townspeopIe asked the
reason of this unwonted din. this sud
den activity The leader of the work
men replied:
/ THE minister Of public works is
travelling through here today. and we
have been engaged for the day to
knake as much noise as possible. so he
can see how busy we are"
Now, the French minister Of public
works. occupying high place in the
government, is not an especially SIM
pie. foolish or unsOphistfcated person.
But wiser men then he have been
fooled before now by the activity and
hustle and noise which pass current
for real work-sometimes.
It is false. counterfeit coin. of course,
but sometimes It has the glitter and
weight Of the real money of labor.
Beware lest you take It for such. or
attempt yourself to pass It on others.
You will find on your trail the unrest
ing detectives or your own conscience
and your sense Of dime wasted and
lost forever. They are less relenting
than the government sleuths.
Some folks try to fool themselves
thus.
, They stir and hustle about. making
what they think is great splash in
the ocean Of the worlds activities. It
Is in reality only very small ripple.
but they do not know that
The real worker does not have to

!" "HOWDY-DO!
In CHARLES N. LURE

Have YOU ever heard Of little Bobby,
ahe 'bowdy-d0 boyy
He is worth knowing.
Bobby is two and half years old
He lives in one Of Americas smaller
cities He is one Of the bright, sunny
haired and sunny tempered little fell
lows whose presence In home Is one
Of the highest blessings of life.
When the weather is fine Bobby sits
on the veranda OF his home to observe
life. Whenever any one passes, from
Rohby's lips CONES the CHEEKY greet
ing:
"Howdy-do!"
Bobby is too young to have heard
anything about the things which are
worth while, SO he does not know that
he fills high place on the list He Is
very much worth while. for he helps to
tighten life for others.
The workman on his way to shop or
ofice hears Bobby's greeting. and 10.
the sun shines more brightly. The
working girl on her way home after
days toll sees little Bobby's smile. and
the weary back and aching brain lose
some of their pain.
The other evening a girl who looked
worried her. heard Bobby's cheerful
"Huwdy-do!" She stopped. turned to
ward him, smiled, stepped from the
sidewalk to the veranda, took Bobby
in her arms, kissed him and said:
You dear. you are the first person
that has greeted me kindly today.
Bless your heart" Bobby smiled and
said: "Doodby. Tum again."
OF the salt OF the earth Is Bobby.
And the parents who have SO pol
ished the precious jewel intrusted to
their care-all honor and praise to
them! It is safe to say that sRobby's
name will never be found amo6g those
Of spoiled children"
But
There are too few "howdyrdo" peo-
pie. We could have many more such
among children and adults II we would
only stop to think how little a kindly
greeting costs and how much good one
may do.
Imagine yourself sitting on the We
randa OF life and watching the process
sion Of your fellow human beings pass
before you. There is no cheaper, bet
ter way Of gaining for yourself the
good name that is better than riches
than by greeting them with a cheer
