A Poor Theory
Said old Bill Shiftless:
"The world owes me a-living. Why -should
I worry?"
And old Bill managed to get along on
that theorybut such a life. Down at the
heels, hand to mouth, slipshod, poverty-
stricken, without hope, without ambition,
without comfort.
What a price to pay for laziness and
incompetence.
You all know some "Bill Shiftless"
who is no earthly good except as a horrible
example.
The world may owe us a living, but the
way in which it is collected marks the dif
ference in men.
If a decent, satisfactory and comfort
able living is desired, the two principal re
qusites are to WORK and SAVE.
