JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST
THE FLAW.

THE FLAW.
He made his bid for fortune through
his youthful days and sunny.
The spur 70 his ambition was the
yellow stuff called money:
He shaved for it and saved for il, the
heat and cold he braved for t.,
He daily watched his holdings grow
until at last ne came to know
the fortune he had wanted so;
Then one mistake he chanced to
make-he saw the tickle mar
ket break and others rushed his
wealth TO take.
He must beware who counts in coin
the total Of his happiness,
And builds his Joy upon the sand
where money-seekers find sue
cess.
For yellow gold IS hard TO hold, it's
slippery stuff and very cold;
Since first it's power on earth be-
gan. in it no loyalty we scan;
IL serves. but never loves the
man,
And who shall make but one mis-
take. wherein his fortune Is at
stake, at morn TO poverty shall
wake.
Another spurned the road to wealth
10 be a brother TO his neighbOrs.
He shared their sorrows and their
joys and knew their burdens
and their labors,
And was kind OF heart and mind,
to friendly ways he was in
clined,
And all he knew 20 him were true
they knew the good he tried to
do;
Mistakes he made. but friends they
stayed; when trouble came they
rushed 70 aid, till every debt
love was paid.
