CAN NOT HIDE WEAKNESSES
Philadelphia Writer Draws a Moral
From the Life and Works OF
Two Men
There were two men.

There were two men.
One, in order to hide his faults from
the eyes of the public, surrounded him.
self with many friends, better than
himself in character.
The other man had single friend,
as sterling I'm character, sympathies
and perceptions as himself.
In the first case the man fooled the
public, which seemed to see him
through his friends.
In the second case, however, the
man and his friend were misunder-
stood and neglected by the public.
The first man, during life, was
praised and flattered. for, being very
wealthy. he could very easily purchase
empty words, but not loved Or re-
spected.
The second man, after death. was at
last understood. respected. honored
and loved, but to no avail; for he
could not be brought back from the
grave.

of an unjust, blind world.
