THE HAPPY MAN

The happiest man in the world is
the common, everyday chap, who
makes his own living, papys his own
bills and has the respect of his neigh
bors. He saves little money as he
goes along, but doesn't try to get a
corner on the local output and he is
not a slave to ambition or society.
He never expects to wear out his
trousers in the Senate, and when he
glides out OF bed in the morning he
never wastes any time trying to pick
out the right tint of socks, suspend
ers and necktie that will blend with
the general effect.
He only wears collar when he
feels like it, andw hen his pet corn
begins to jump he jerks out his knife
and cuts out four-inch cash in the
side of his shoe and nothing is said
about it in the local paper. He never
has to sit up at night to poultice his
conscience. He believes in the doc
trine of live and let live, Whine he
encounters one of the needy he doesn't
stutter with his pocketboo. The plain
plug of a man is happy because he is
satisfied and he doesn't spend half
his time yearning for something which
his salary will not permit him to buy
Give us more plain men and the world
will be better.-Exchange
