The workers are females with their development

HIS ANNIVERSARY.

own the store in which he worked for few dollars

His vision Of wealth came later HIS desire for
riches came with the strides he made in gathering

Those who complain about a lack OF opportunity
may take a hint from the fact that Rockefeller

To other bees who go their ways
With such laborious zest

That sugar is at hand
He gets a message 10 their minds
They seem 20 understand.
Perhaps he signals with his feet:
His feelers may impart
To other bees that he may meet
What he has IN his heart.
Perhaps his buzzing may reveal
To others in the hive
Where they may find a bounteous

It's plain enough that he can speak.

tons in opening the doors to the pub

At about 80 | was approached by
several excited parents of some of the
graduating class and told that the
seats to which they were entitled we're
occupied by others who held no
checks. Of course my first question
was. Were You here at 7.45?" In
every instance the reply was that they
had been standing on the stairs or in
the corridors for five or ten minutes
before I As unable to get into the hall
and present their tickets because of
the crowd ahead, many of whom held
no seat checks Such being the case
it seemed unjust to me that they
should lose their seats and imme-
diately asked several people to rise

no checks. If any of my friends felt

sistent on the occasion | sincerely
hope they will attribute the cause to
the hurry and stress of the moment

trust this difficulty will teach this
lesson: that holders of tickets in the
future will allow themselves a leeway
of more than five or ten minutes be-
fore the time appointed for the doors
to be opened to the public.
