When Tommy went to bed at night
he used to lark and play.
Instead OF folding up his clothes and
putting them away.
He'd leave his stockings on the
stairs; he never cared at oil
II jacket. shoes and waist and tie
were scattered through the
hall.
And after he was fast asleep there
lay along the floor
A slovenly, untidy trail OF every.
thing he wore.
OF course his mother picked them up
and laid them on o chair,
And when he woke at breakfast time
he always found them there
But just last week he had a dream
goblin all In white
Stood leerlng at him through the
gloom; truly horrid sight.
And sayagely the goblin said: "At
last, think. I've found
The very foolish little boy that
throws his clothes around.
Now find those clothes, sir, right
away; for We are going to 20
Down yonder by the frozen creek

Obligations

Everyone Of us has his Obliga.
tions We have our Obligations first
TO what we have within us that may
be OF benefit to the world at large.
Then We have Obligations OF Citizen
ship. of Friendship. of Business. OF
Honor-of Responsibility for having
been made a Human Being.
To be true TO your highest 0bliga-
tons Is to make every man your
Debtor.
You may think that TO "lct ND" on
some one OF your high Obligations at
times is not going TO make much
difference. But the keen eye of op-
perfume Perfection. that ever
watches over the progress Of every
individual. Is sure to detect and re-
cord 1t against you. and your big
ness and greatness is going to lose
from that hour just that much-how
much, no man may know.
For every Obligation that Is
sighted or abandoned. there appears
an added Obligation that must be
paid for at its own price.
Honor your Obligations and keep
them. BE glad that you have Oh.
ligations off of which you may
Grow. For no one is worth his Salt
or his Dust that has not at some
time or other placed worthily. some
ether person as highly Obligated to
him. Every time you render a good
Service, you fulfill an Obligation.
Every time you do what you feel
you ought to do. you wipe an obi.
cation from your list of happy
Tasks.
Grow rich off OF your Obligations
BY compelling them 10 increase your
Usefulness and Happiness instead of
