THE FABLE OF AN EYE-GLASS

A man here wanted a nice, pretty
silver case for his glasses, he craved
it and yet he knew they did cost a lot
of money and he tried a million ways
to get it without spending any money
on it because he is a man who rather
hates to cut loose from dime and
then only under protest;
So he decided a way out and he
wrote to Kansas City and had a big
jewelry house send him four or five
to pick from and finally he saw one
he liked SO he went to a member of
the firm he is at the head of and told
him that he wanted this particular
case for his glasses and had the lawyer
go to all the folks that work for this
firm and collect one dollar from each
of them and two dollars from the
heads of the firm and the man got
enough to pay for the silver eye glass
case;
Then the firm member took the eye
glass case to a jeweler and had him
engrave on the case that it was a
present from the folks about the build
ing and they made a fitting speech
about his faithful work for the firm
and because of this appreciation they
were giving him this beautiful present
and he swelled up with pride over the
gift and was happy;
( And the moral of this is that YOU
might as well spend a dime once in
while because the truth will seek you
out. And 1 guess that will be about
all. n. A
