Besides telling them funnv stories, he

that the only ropes available were
unsuited to the purpose Accord did

Watch Your Step!

One dark uight-so the story goes-a GER
tain king placed large rock in the middle of
the road. Thousands of his people, thereafter,
severely stubbed their toes, or troubled to
walk around. AT length, one strong youth
wiser than the rest-lifted the stone and heav-
ed it from the road And where it had rested
ne found bag Of gold!
Are you stubbing your toe9 Are you over
looking any gold! How about lifting that lit
tie debt and finding that golden help which
this community is so anxious to extend to
those worth whiles
Pay in full, if possible: because that was
the agreement. Pay part of the debt if it is
not possible to pay it all. If no cash is avail
able then pay the debt with your promise to
pay later. Do something; because in these
days when mnd-readers are so scarce, yonr
act OF explaining the delay and your good act
OF making new promise is worth much more
than good intention. Good intentions. I'M
less followed by good acts, are good only for
paving in-well, you know where.
The Phoebe Pharmacy, while limited in
financial strength, is able and anxious to help
its good customers with every reasonable
credit convenience. And it cannot take prop
or care of its good customers unless it is also
strong enough to refuse to do business with
those who are not worth while.

There's an attractiveness in youth
that Is irresistible. Rosy cheeks and
the sparkling eyes alone do not cause
this. There Is something in the elias

the mental alertness that commands
attention. There's an inspiration in
the hopeful eyes that turn toward

everything is approached. In fact,
the whole being is charged with so

And every lad would like to know
The secret we impart.
He doesn't desire to slack or shirk-
Oh! haven't you heard him plead
He'll follow a man at play or work
II only the man will lead.
Where are the men to lead today,
Sparing an hour or two,
Teaching the boy the game to play
Just as the man should do?
Village and slums are calling-come,
Here are the boys, indeed,
Who can tell what they might become
II only the men will lead!
Where are the men to lend hand ?
Echo it far and wide,
Men who will rise in every land,
Bridging the "Great Divide"
Nation and flag and tongue unite
Joining each class and creed,
Here are the boys who would do right
But where are the men to lead.
