He Knew His Place

Bill Planer, the village carpenter' had given so generously of his time and services in building the little new memorial church that it was decided to allow him to speak at the dedicatory services. Bill hated to do it, it was entirely out of his line, but he also hated to overlook an opportunity to make more friends, so he made a try at it.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said Bill, stammering, "I realize that I am a lot better fitted for a scaffold than for a platfs6-"

Pass Gently Down The Stream

By Marian CanbY

I sometimes think that I love strangers best, Pecple who catch rny heart in shop or street, At ease in anonymitY. Discreet.

I praise them with my glance. No need to test The sum of enigmatic features, lest Some lurking decadence at last defeat Fidelity; that innocent lip, too sweet, Must do without the pity of my breast. These chosen loves pass gently down the stream That follows time and turns into forever

At the next corner. I bless thern, for they never Frustrate the truth of one spontaneous dream

That is no dream unless clear sight can lie

The soul sits plain in the unguarded eye.

Unprepared

The golfer who had loet his ball was very much annoyed with his caddie.

"Why in Hell didn't you watch where it went?" he demanded wrathfullY.

"\Mell, Sir," explained the caddie, "it usually don't go anywhere, so it took me sort of unprepared like."

Not Bad

It was home work time at the Cohen domicile, and the kids were getting their lessons, with the help of their Mama' "Tell me, Leetle Benny," said the mother, "how much is four and elEven?"

"Twelve," rePlied little BennY'

"Not bad for a leetle shaver" said the proud Mama' "He only missed it bY two."

Printing

Henry P. Porter wrote: Printing is a good business. It is clean, honorable, respectable. It is celebrated as a trainer of men for higher stations in life. It has many inspiring traditions and legends. It combines the need for knowledge of everything under the sun: mathematics, mechanics, language, spelling, grammar, color, composition, salesmanship; there is indeed no limit to the accomplishments that are required of the printer. The printer is brought into contact withall other vocations and professions. No vocation or profession can really exist without the printing press. From textbooks to novels, from pamphlets to neutspapers' from tickets to taxbills, no man can evade the printed word.

Tolerance

It is so easy, so very easy, to misunderstand, misinterpret, misjudge. Give everyone the benefit of a- trrossible error, and discount your own observation-liberally. This is advice for all of us-for you and the other fellow-because the very advice we give and apply to others is an injunction we may need ourselves.

-Jerome Corwin.

Not The Gasoline Station

"Fill her up t" said the absent-minded motorist to the drug clerk as he parked himself at the soda fountain counter with his sweetie.

"Has your *,","","luT1,llolar yet ?"

"Well, only in an adviso,ry capacity."

GOD

God with His million cares Went to the left or right. Leaving our world; and the day Grew night.

Back from a sphere He came, Over a starry lawn, Looked at ourworld; and the dark Grew dawn.

-Norman Gale.
