The Guy Who Stubbed His Toe

Did you ever maet a youngster who had been and stubbed his toe,

An' was settin' by the roadside just a-cryin' soft and low, A-holdin' of his dusty foot so hard and brown and bare, And tryin' to keep frorn "his eyes the tears a-gatherin' there? ,.' .-'::..i,.,,

You hear him sorta sobbin' tte, an' snuffin' of his nose, You stop an' pat him on the head and try to ease his woes; You treat him sorta kind like an' the first thing that you know

IIe's up an' off a-smilin', clean forgot he stubbed his toe.

Now, long the road of life you'll find a feller goin' slow, An' like as not he's some pore cuss who's gone an' stubbed his toe;

He was makin' swimmin' headway til he bumped into a stone,

An' his friends kept hurryin' forward an' left him there alone.

He's not sobbin', he's not sniffin', he's just too old fer cries, But he's grievin' jest as earnest, if it only cotnes in sighs, An'it does a lot o' good, sometime, to go a little slow, An' speak a word o' comfort to a guy who's stubbed his toe.

You see you're not so sure yo'ur.self, and there ain't no way to know

Just when its comin' YOUR time, to slip an' stub your toe. Today you're bright and happy in the world's sunlight and glow, iAn' tomorrow you're a-freezin' an' trudgin' through the snow.

The time you think you've got the world the tightest in your grip,

Is just the time you find that you're the likeliest to slip. So it does a lot o' good sometimes to go a little slow, An' speak a word o' comfort to the guy who's stubbed his to€.

Solitude

Bacon said: "But little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth. , For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal where there is no love."

Snooty

The prospective dog buyer was pretty particular.

"I want a dog with a fine pedigree; that's the first essential," he said to the dog store man.

The dog store man brought out a pooch, handling him with much respect.

"ffere's just what yo'u're looking for, Mister," he said. "This dog is so blue-blooded that if he could talk he wouldn't even speak to you."

His Diary

The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, but writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volurne as it is, with the one he had hoped to write.

Viewpoint Feminine

"I have a friend I want you girls to meet," young man to the bevy of youthful femininity. they rose to the bait.

"What can he do?" asked the athletic girl.

"flow much has he?" asked the chorus girl.

"What does he read?" asked the literary girl.

"Who are his people?" asked the social girl.

"What church does he belong to?" asked the girl.

"Where is he?" asked the old maid.

AMER;;* ,r"t"

"Name?" asked the immigration official.

"Sneeze," replied the Chinaman.

"Is that your Chinese name?" asked the official.

"No. Melican name," said the Chinaman.

"Then what is your Chinese name?"

"Ah Choo," said the Chinaman, proudly.

And when we have done our work on earth-of necessity, of labor, of lover, or of duty-like the silkworm that spins its little cocoon and dies, we too depart. But, short though our stay in life may be, it is the appointed sphere in which each has to work out the great aim and end of his being to the best of his power; and when that is done, the accident of the fesh will affect but little the immortality we shall at last put on.
