THE AVERAGE MAN.
BY Margaret E. Laugster.

When IL comes to a question Of trusting
Yourself To the risks of the road,
When the thing is the sharing of burdens.
The lifting tie heft OF load
In the hour of peril or trial
In the hour YOU meet as you can
You may safely depend ON the wisdom
And s&ill of the average man
IT'S the averaFe man and no other
Who does his plain Cuty each day.
The small thing his wage is for doing
On the commonplace bit of the way.
'Fis the average nan. may God bless him
Who pilots us. still Ia the van.
over land, over SEA, we travel
Just the plain. hardy, average man.
So on through the DAYS of existence.
All mingling In shadow and shine.
We may count on the everyday hero
Whom hapiy the gods may divine
But who wears the swarth CRIME of his
calling,
And labors and earns as he can,
And stands at the last with the noblest
The commonplace average man.
