the waist, has IA triple flchu fastened
with knot of ribbon where it comes

With Lent should come a simpler

knew that in the spring tho digestive
organs need a rest after the gustatory
trials to which they have been sub
jected by the heavy winter foods. and
especially the Christmas dissipation.
and so they allowed meat to appear
but seldom in the menu. substituting
for it fish and eggs. Their example

More than that, presently he Took
the Law into his own hands and came
within an Ace OF putting the Kibosh
on his Chest under the impression II
was an Iron Cross.
| And this was the Nature of his
Complaint:--he thought Boost in
the Pay Envelope ought to be coming
his way. while his Boss seemed to
take the Opposite View. His Argu-
ment ran somewhat AS Follows:
| Here I've been Grinding Away for
this old Skinnnt for two solid years
and getting in some Good Licks: and
what has he done? Nothing! Moth
ing-but hand me out lot of Bunk
about having done Good Work and

And what line Of Cab did he In
cork when I tried six months ago to

of his? What did he do? Nothing
but Just cross his hand over his
Paunch and give me a Sad Look.
Then he let loose a Spiel about it

a Fellow ought to be that he had
Job of any sort and--how his Profits
were Trailing Behind last year and
and how he was Taking all the Risk

envelope OF mine!"
So, one day, this Young Man de-
cided that he'd be Boob no longer.
No sir. What was the Use OF Doing
More than you were Paid For--when
you Got Nothing for it! Hereafter
he'd do what he had to each day, but
he'd be Darned if he'd give the Boss
twice the Service he was paying for!
SO much for SO much-and no more!
