COMMON BROTHERHOOD

A prosperous farmer and battered
bum drove into a little western town
the other day-but neither the bleared
eyes of the vagrant nor the keener
ones of the farmer saw the whirling
maze of life.
Their hearts were full of other
visions-drawn from the dusts of a
half-century by the humming Of a
song.
They saw the whtewashed hut, the
peat fields, the donkey carts of Ire
land, and they felt again the throb of
boyhood and of brotherhood.
Two brothers left the Emerald Isle
to try their fortunes in America.
One found his place in the broad
wheat fields of the west, where each
summers sun added to his stock of
worldly goods
The other kept Notwithstanding, too
often through the bottom Of glasses to
see opportunities and ever moving on
in the hope that fate would toss a for
tune. ready-made, into his hands.
No words passed between them.
This year the battered wanderer
went into the harvest fields for work.
No names were given, but as he
worked he sang-and he sang the song
of other years.
The song had its echo in the mem
DRY Of the employer-only they are no
longer employer and hired hand, but
Pat and Bob, as they were when they
left Ireland half century ago
What is the moral?
OF oil 4
the world is full of a number of things
and that among them are emotions SO
changeless, memories so deeply en-
graved that a song can wipe away the
wealth of the prosperous and the
scars of a battered failure, and leave
them simply brothers"

the Bedding Association is the biggest

IS one OF the most conservatively con-
Quoted associations and one which
pays to its shareholders a splendid
profit.
The Belding Building and Loan AS
ISOLATION is over a quarter century old,
it having been organized July /, 1889.

he had no one to blame but himself

Shy On Names.

One would suppose that even in large families parents wouldn't run out of names to give their children. But q ceFtain lack of imagination or material-is evident ih sections of the foreign populated west side. A United Charities worker on one Of her recent Investigations came across a family where three of the young ones were named Joe. Her first thought was that either the father or mother had been married more than once, but to her amazement such did not prove to be the case. The mother simply liked the name Joe and took the path of least resistance.
 But asked the visitor, turning to one of the little fellows. how do you know when to come when your mamma wants you ??
 s0h, that's easy, was the reply. esWhen she wants me she calls Joe : and come, and when she wants my brother. why, he comes"
 This explanation is still rather un- satisfactory, but the practice of calling several children in one family by the same name, [ understand. is not un- common in Chicag go Chicago Inter Ocean.

Boys and Sleep.

One thing growing boy wants to be long on is sleep, and yet he is most apt to be careless about it. It Is during sleep that a boy grows most and catches up. During his waking hours he tears down and burns up more Hs- sue than he builds Good, sound and sufficient sleep is essential to growth, strength and endurance. A boy scout should have at least nine or ten hours of sleep out of every twenEy-four- If you lose out on this amount on one day make 1t up the next Whenever unusually tired or when you feel out of trim stay in bed a few hours more if it is possible A boy should wake up each morning feeling like fighting cock. When he doesn't he ought to get to bed earlier that night Sleep is a wonderful restorative and tonic9 It helps to store Up energy and conserve strength Boy Scouts of America.
