TWO VOICES_TWO LIGHTS_TWO WAYS

Young men, life is before you. Two voices are calling you-one coming out from the swamps of selfishness and force, where success means death; and the other from the hilltops of justice and progress, where even failure brings glory. Two lights are seen in your horizon-one the fast fading marsh light of power, and the other the slowly rising sun of human brotherhood. Two ways lie open for youone leading to an even lower and lower plain, where are heard the cries of despair and the curses of the poor, where manhood shrivels and possession rots down the possessor; and the other leading to the highlands of the morning, where are heard the glad shouts of humanity and where honest effort is rewarded with immortality.-John P. Altgeld.

THE END OF'THE RIDE

The fat lady slipped on the top stair of the subway and went sliding down. She collided with a man, upset him, and down they came together, finally ending at the bottom landing with the lady sitting half-dazed on the man's chest. She was so stunned that she made no immediate motion to move, so the gentleman politely said:

Leaf After Leaf Drops Off

By Walter Savage Landor

Leaf after leaf drops off, flower after flower, Some in the chill, some in the warmer hour; Alive they flourish, and alive they fall, And Earth who nourished them receives them all. Should we, her wiser sons, be less content To sink into her lap when life is spent?

Govern the lips as they were palace-doors, the king within; tranquil and fair and courteous be all words which from that presence win.-Sir Edwin Arnold.

HEAVEN FORBID !

A hillbilly edged to the ticket window of a little jerkwater railroad station.

"Mister," he said, "I aims to go to New York to fiddle in Zeb Stewart's Kentucky band. Can you fix me up for to get there?"

"Certainly," replied the agent. "The Special goes through here in about five minutes, and I can flag her for you-but what about your trunk?"

"Trunk?" asked the puzzled mountaineer. "What's a trunk for?"

"To put your clothes in," replied the agent.

"What !" cried the scandalized hillbilly, "an' me go nekkid !"

No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving off ense.-Carlyle.

Little Things

It's the little things that cause big wars. Harry G. Nye, a very clever business writer, puts it this way: "It's the things that don't amount to a continental that amount to a lot. My wife was working a cross-word puzzle the other night when f came in, and she said, 'What's a female sheep?' and I said, 'Ewe'-and that's how a new war started,"

It's The Service That Counts After All

Bv Jack Dionne

It isn't the COST of the home that you sell, Nor the stuff out of vvhich it is made; It isn't a question of "does it look well ?"

Or whether the colors will fade: Nor the modern conveniences you har-e "built in," Nor the paper you've hung on the rvall ; But the real thing is, did you SERVE WITH A GRIN ?

It's the SERVICE THA-[ COUNTS after all.

It isn't a question how long it will stand

The rigors of snorv or of rain; Or the roofs or the walls or the entrance so grand, Or the sash, or the door, or the pane; It isn't the paint, or the finish or floor, The bath, breakfast nook, or the hall, But there's one thing that matters each day, more and more, It's the SERVICE THAT COUNTS after all.

It isn't the place where you hang up your hat. Or the open air porch where you restWhen sleeping time comes; and it isn't tire nrat That says "welcome" and you knorv tl-re rest. It isn't the color, the shape or the style, That makes Mr. Home Buyer fall; But there's one great big thing that just makes them all Smile-

It'S thc SERVICE THAT COUNTS Aftcr AI1.

There's many a man that sells "quality stock," In shingles, and millwork, and lumber; Wtro still would require a dynamite shock, To rouse him from deep business slumber. Dig up nerv ideas, and keep up yorlr "p.p," Do your trade's business thinking-don't stallKeep hustling'-keep smiling-work hard-u'atch your step-

IT'S THE SERVICE THAT COUNTS AFTER ALL.
