IN THE BANK.
He culuvates politeness
And makes OF It an art.
He says. Nice day" in that bright
way
That simply wins your heart.
He's always glad TO see you,
You read that in his smile.
Your visit there. you're soon aware.
Makes life well worth his while.
He asks about your mother
And all your kith and kin.
CWe're speaking of the teller
That takes your money in.)
He's stern and stiff and naughty.
He's always rushed for time.
He seems to think you're on the
brink
OF some atrocious crime
He views you with suspicion:
Your soul. his searching look
Goes through and through, as IL he
knew
That you were some smooth
crook
And though YOU look quite honest
You don't resolve his doubt.
(Ne're speaking Of the teller
That pays the money out.
And much the same thing happens
In every other game;
For you Will find that human kind
Is pretty much the same.
They are pleasant; are the people
That YOU give money to:
But on their guard and boiled quite
hard
Are those who pay 10 you.
And when We think Z over.
AS we hand out our pelf.
Or take il in. we notice.
We're much that way ourseif.

A UNIQUE INSTITUTION.

The recent suggestion made by David II. Knott.
sheriff OF New York county. to abolish the Ludlow
ct jail because it great an expense to the
city again directs spotlight upon this so-called
Llimony club which. somehow, an anachron-
ism-like the Eden Musee the last years Of it's
existence
This unique institution is peculiarly New YOrkish
Che cannot imagine a Ludlow at. Jail anywhere else
IN the world. Here husbands who have refused to
pay alimony tended at the expense Of the city,
and there usually at least rs persons each year
whose keep costs the city approximately $4,000
annually. Sheriff Knott thinks that the city could
board them cheaper than this at hotel At any
rate. he thinks this expensive Almony club should
to be snug harbor for those who prefer the
hospitality of the county 10 paying alimony to the
former zone in the world?'
why city should continue o furnish board
and lodging for alimOny dodgers at annual
pense OF $4,000 is rather a puzzler. But think of
the pride New Workers take the Ludlow st. jail
TAXI ayers should be glad 10 contribute TO the up
keep of such an institution

SACRIFICE.


There is no easy way to serve.
This life is one Of sacrifice.
With courage and with steady
nerve.
For conquest each must pay the
price.
Who asks must willing be TO give.
For friendship, man must play
the friend.
There IS no royal way TO live.
on service all mans joys depend.
Skill is a gift which man acquires
BY patient practice day by day;
And he who stops because he tires.
Soon falls behind along the way.
Time grants US what we gladly earn
And gives 10 every man his due.
But ne who takes must. in his turn,
stand up and play the giver, too.
Not in the drowsy lanes OF ease
Are fame or fortune 10 be found,
But on the hills OF drudgeries
And on the rough and stony
ground.
How much OF self will you bestow?
How do you meet the sterner
task?
How far for conquest will you go?
