LEARN A TRADE.
Young man, did you ever stop to think
about tomorrow? Does it ever enter
your head that possibly you are going to
be without shelter when the bleak davs
of after years come.? Do you ever stop
to think that the parental roof that now
covers you and the parental hands which
now feed you will some dav go the way
of all material things and be no more?
You poke fun. at the poor men about
town who wear ragged clothes and work
out in the snow of winter and the boil
ing days of summer for a pittance, but
that is the way you will come t.o unless
you get a hustle on yourself. There is
just a certain amount of work you will
have to do in this world and a certain
number of things you will have to learn
and the sooner you get at it the sooner
you will find yourself on Easy Street.
Some fellows start out too late and cash
their checks before they reach Easy
Street. Learn a trade. The man who
builds the wall gets bigger wages than the
man who carries mortar. The man who
hires the ditch dug is the man who makes
the money, not the man who. digs it. Try
to be the man who hires the job done.
