DID YOU?

ibid you give him a lift? He's a brother of man.
And bearing about all the burden he can.
Did yon give him a smile? He was downcast and blue.
And the smile would have helped him to battle it through
Did yos give him your hand? He was slipping down hill
And the world, so / fancied. was using him i'll.
Did you give him . word, Did you show hin the road,
Or did you let him 60 on with his load!
did you help him along? He's a sinner like you,
But the grasp of your hand might have carried hin
through,
Did you bid him good cheer? Just a word and a smile
Were what he most needed that last weary mile.
Do you know what he bore in that burden Of cares
That is every mans load and that sympathy shares?
Did you try to find out what he needed from you,
Or did you just leave him to battle it through?
"Do you know what it means to be losing the fight,
When a lift just in time might set everything right?
Do you know what it means-just the clasp of a hand,
When a mans borne about all q man ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was-why the quivering lip,
And the ~glistening tears down the pale cheek that slip?
We're you brother of his when the time came to be?
Did you offer to help him, or didn't you see?
"Don't you know it's the part Of a brother of man
To find what the grief is and help when you can?
Did you stop when he asked you to give him a lift,
Or were You SO busy you left him to Shift
Oh, ! know what you say may be true
But the test of your manhood is; What did you do?
Did you reach out a hand? Did you find him the road,
Or did you just let him 90 by with his load?"

Church Has a "Bar."
An up-to-date mahogany "bar" with
all trimmings, brass foot rail, elbow
rests, etc, has been opened formally
in the basement of the Trinity Con-
gregational Church in the Bronx. The
innovation is the idea Of the Rev. Mil
ton Hess, pastor of the Church. The
only difference between the church
bar" and the bar in the liquid an
poriums in the neighborhood is that
Dr.. Hess does not sell alcoholic drinks.
DR.. Hess calls it his new "American
bar" The barroom has some UNIQUE
signs posted around the place. Some
Of them are: "No screens needed
here;" mo characters wrecked here"
mo %befuddled brains produced here"
mo hangover headaches here" BE
ware of any drink with more than 2
per cent. alcohol in it--baer has 4 per
cent. or more" and numerous other
expressions. Over DR.. Hess's Amer
lean bar are sold such beverages as
boulllon, cocoa, grape juice, lemonade,
root beer, etc. And everyone who
stands up before the bar never for
gets to paw for the rail.

There is no further excuse for key

walking stick that is guaranteed to
lead you straight to the goal. These
electric n have become such fav-
orites with men who have already
tried them, although they are quite
new, and with the women who see in
the holiday novelty one of the most
delightful of Christmas gifts for hus-
band and brother that the market is
rapidly becoming exhausted. It's
probably that the supply will give out
before the holidays are over. When
you don't want to use the fashlight,
you keep the silver collar over the tiny
bulb and the can looks like any other.
