PHILOSOPHERS Of life. There are always
roses if we look for them.
VI imagine myself in the place of the
tormented. rebellous Jew. He is awak-
ened at midnight by the trumpet
call of the Roman centurion. He
knows its meaning. He must respond
without delay. He has his choice
of two plans. He can go with curses
and get kicked and jabbed, his eyes
blackened and his nose blooded, but
he will have to go; or he can say
to his wife: Rachael, good luck has
come. The new Centurion for this
distric. calls me. | have wanted to
see him. Our a trouble with Ben
Ezra over the boundary line will soon
be carried up to this man, and this
is my opportunity" He goes with
a smile. Captain, this is great
pleasure. How can serve you?'
Guide us over this accursed trail.

some exercise" At the end of the
first mile, he says: Captain, the

HUH" II said il you will only per-
NIT me l should like to go second

that ever wanted my company, you
can go if you wish" The captain
now walks by his side and they get
well acquainted and discover they

sheeny isn't such bad sort" and
when he comes TO leave the captain
says: "Wen, I'll be in this district
for a year. II there is anything

out OF the gates before IL stops. They
are first mile men. There are men
who work for wages and wages will
be all they will ever have, and half

Here is business truth: The man
who never does any more work than
he is paid for, will never be paid
any more. than he works for. But
