UNCLE PETE.

r IT'S maltese used to come and rub
n Her coat against his leg;
He had dog, a mongrel scrub,
He taught to sit and beg;
The horses used to Whitney when
They saw him on the street;
The children ran from other men
To play with Uncle Pete.
He was a sort Of village Joke
Who tinkered here and there.
And always poor. and always Droke'
And yet he didn't care.
The banker used to sit and frOwn
And growl like anything;
But half the way across the town
You'd hear old Peter sing.
Folks said he was failure. yes,
He hadn't any sense
To go through life in idleness
And make no competence.
Now, what do you think ?-what they
About a ..failureY Do
You think the folks who shook theiI
head
Had estimated true7
Me? Well, think that they were
right.
Pete had a brother Pat
Who was, like him, the kids deligh
And loved by dog and cat.
Besides all that Pat worked his land.
Raised hogs and corn and wheat.
Provided for his family. and
Supported Uncle Pete.

There are men who want new wives
when they have perfectly good wives
at home. They don't need them, anu
therefore ought not to want them.
There are other men who want
wealth, when they don't need wealth
at all.
Still other men want steam yachts
when rowboats would do them mor'
good. and private swimming pools
when they would get more fun ana
health out of public baths IN the
ocean.
They may get these things, but they
will be no better off when they do ee'
them.
The wanting habit can grow into
very bad habit indeed unless you are
careful to want what you need.
II is well to remember in this con-
nection that there are some very I'LL

SOMETHING TO

in circles, unmindful Of our dunes,
we need every day to be reminded
of what lies beyond-the treacherous

Uncommon Sense
Bv JOHN BLAKE
WANT WHAT YOU NEED

tell us we can
have anything we want. provided
we want it enough.
With certain qualifications this IS
true. 1t explains why many men get
things out of life that. their friends
never expected to get. They wanted
them, and they got them.
Getting things In that way for most
people involves considerable sacrifice.
For example, If dry goods clerk
wants an automobile he may get 1t,
but he will have to skimp pretty
heavily on his clothes and diet II ne
gets 1t while he still remains dry
goods clerk.
1t is for this reason that. when you
begin wanting something, 1t will pay
YOU to want what you need.
That will involve thought, for none
| of us know what we need until we de
vote considerable time to reflection
and study.
