YOUR SISTER

ND|4N A(4AS = A2AN
BY H. M. Cochran.
There is one little job that a boy
should do well
To earn right his title of Mister;
The right sort OF fellows you always
can tell
By the way they look after their
sister.
They are, as folks say, of the gentler
sex,
They're tin1id, demure and they're
sweet;
Treat .'em fair, on the square, that's
the every day text
OF the fellow who's showing dis
Greet. T.
You can't play father to sister of
yours,
You can't be her mother-that's
true;
But you can look out through all she
endures
And teach her to look up to you.
Keep an eye on the sort of fellows
she meets,
A girls up against it alone;
Advise her, at night, to keep off the
streets;
Do this all in a brotherly tone
Some day you'll be thankful for all
that you've done,
You'll be loved for it after while;
Keep on watch from the day that her
n life is begun,
Help mould out her manner and
style.
All told, it will help out that sister
lot,
She'll appreciate all that you do;
And then you will find, through your
being kind,
1t has made good fellow of you.
