More Sense Than Poetry

My friend, have you heard of the town of
Yawn
On the banks of the river Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair,
Where the Sometimeorother scents the air
And the soft Goeasys grow?
1t lies in the valley of Whatstheuse,
In the province of Letherslide;
That tired feeling is native there
Its the home of the listless Idontcare,
Where the Putitoffs abide.
The Putitoffs never make up their minds,
Intending to do it tomorrow,
And so they delay from day to day
Till business dwindles and profits decay
And their days are full of sorrow.

Various Friendships
Continued from page four

Wherefore as they who draw gravel out
of the Tagus. separate the gold which they
find and carry it away, and leave the same
on the banks; SO they who have the com
munication of some good friendship, ought
to separate from it the sand of imperfec-
tions, and not suffer it to enter into their
souls. We often see husbands, wives,
children, and friends, who, having the
great esteem of their friends, parents, hus-
bands, and wives, get thousand little i'm
projections either through complaisance or
by imitation, in the intercourse of friend
ship, which they have with one another.
Now this they ought by no means to do,
for every one has evil inclination enough
of his own, without loading himself be-
sides with those of others; and friendship
is SO far from requiring it, that on the con-
trary it obliges us to aid one another, in
order to our being mutually freed from all
kind of imperfections. We must indeed
meekly bear with our friend in his imper-
fections, but we must not lead him into
them, much less transplant them into our
selves. But speak only of imperfections;
for as to sins we must neither occasion
them, nor tolerate them in our friends.
1t is either weak or wicked friendship
to behold our friend perish, and not to
keep him; to see him die of an impost-
hume, and not dare to open it with the
lancet of correction, to save his life. True
and living friendship cannot subsist in the
midst of sins. They say that the salaman-
der extinguishes the fire in which it lies,
so sin destroys the friendship in which it
lodges. If it be but transient sin, friend
ship will presently put it to flight by cor
rection; but if it remain, and take up its
abode, friendship Immediately perishes;
for it cannot subsist but on true virtue.
How much less, then, ought we to COM
NIT sin for friendships sake. Our friend
becomes our enemy, when he would lead
us into sin; and deserves to lose his
friendship when he would ruin and destroy
his friend. So it is one of the most infal-
lible marks of false friendships to see il
exercised towards sinful person, OF
| whatever kind his sins; for if he whom we
| love is vicious, without doubt our friend
! ship is vicious also; for since it cannot be
based on true virtue, it must needs be
grounded on some frivolous perfection, OF
some sensual quality. Society formed for
temporal profit among merchants is but a
shadow of true friendship, since it is not
made for the love of persons, but for the
love of gain.
To conclude, admonish you, that should
you experience any great abundance OF
consultations, tenderness, tears and sweet
nesses, you must confer faithfully with
some good true friend, that you may learn
how to moderate and behave yourself un-
der them; for it is written, Hast thos.

:. EXCHANGES :.
From our Exchanges
The First.Class Workman

Go to large store some time, boys and
ask the merchant or saleman what he means
by goods of "frst' and "second" quality.
You will learn that the Seconds" are
cheaper, though at first glance no differ
ence will be notice able. Upon closer ex.
animation you will find some flaw in the
lower priced article. The material used in
making the articles is exactly the same,
but the labor that has shaped the material
represents two kinds of workers. The
articals of the first qnality were made by
men or women who in their boyhood or
girlhood days learned to carefully follow
directions, to obey orders as given, to
never neglect the smallest detail. When
the manufacturer offers for sale the goods
made by these workers, he can command
full value, because they are the best to be
had. In every industry, in every factory,
there are, however, workers who through
habits of carelessness always slight some
little detail, or who, for the sake OF making
the work easier, substitute methods OF their
own. Most of the goods made by this type
of worker fall short of the standard, and in
the worlds market must be offered at re-
duced prices. These are the Seconds"
You ask, Why does the manufacturer
keep the inferior workman in his employ?
The answer is, that he is helpless in the
matter He is constantly on the lookout
for good workers, but there are not enough
to do the work on hand. Many are en-
ployed, but few measure up to the require
ments of ''6rst class man. The ques-
ton of your rank as man is settled while
you are a boy. 1t depends on your habits.
Since there is so much at stake, be careful
to form only habits which will make you
an efficient worker and an honest and re-
liable companion. Don't be satisfied to
make seconds John B. Steinert.

man and genius is the faculty of concen-

possess. To be able at any time and under
all circumstances to purge the mind of

In the confines of my cell
recall my days of pleasure
That l once enjoyed SO well
And oft times of the future
AS l drag along each day,
l think of those beloved ones
That tried to pave the way.
I'm going to fight the battle
Tho it cause me lots of pain
Tofill life's fullest measure
Will be my constantai
Now they ask is he failure?
In this world that's all aglow
But Ill prove to those who trust
me
That their answer will be: 'No."

The Truth Made Men
Stop and Think

a RECENT statement by the President of the
~ Chandler Motor Car Company on motor
car values and motor car prices OccaSloned
more searching thought on the part of pros
pective motor car purchasers than any other
announcement that has been made by the Auto
mobile Industry this year. 1t came as a revelation
to many who had considered themselves we'll
informed
That statement led to the purchase of Chandler
Type II Skies within the past three weeks by hum
dreds OF men who had been attracted, by extrav-
agant advertising or otherwise, to some one of the
several marked Nb cars in the medium priced
field.
If you read this statement by the President of
the Chandler Company, as you probably did, you
know what we mean by . marked up You
know that IN recent months sums ranging from
$50 to $500 have been quietly lacked on to the
selling prices of these Chandler competitors.
The explanation of the marked up prices has
been the abnormal conditions, said to exist and
really existing in degree, in the motor car
material market.
But you know, too, that the Chandler car has
not been marked up.
And so you can still buy this great car-greatest
OF all the SlXes-at the same price established egh-
teen months ago. long before the war had made
any effect on the material markets. And bear this
in mind that every change made in the Chandler
car In all these past months has been a refinement
and an improvement EUe,y aadIhon to it has repre-
senfed increased mauufactu,7ng cast. Nor a single
thing has been cut out QfMe car.
Bear in mind that today, while others are asking
you to add eighty, hundred, hundred and fifty
or two hundred dollars to your check, S1295 plus
freight buys you this big luxurious highly refined
