For the ——w OME out of it, you who are in the C kitchen, you who are tied to a LY desk, you who are confined to the business of bread-making and get something out of It all besides grubbing for necessities. If there were an actual count made it would be found that there are thou- sands of people whose sordid lives are developing sor- did souls and all they need is a little pleasure now and then to keep up thy spirits and plant hope in the heart.

There is the business man who hhasn’t a moment to spare morning, noon or night to give his family a bit of pleasure—a good man is he, liv- ing on the idea that some day he will have time to enjoy himgelf, and spurs on his family, to the same belief. There is the young man who is as busy, as a boy killing snakes trying to get an advantage here or an ad- vance there and putting off the day of pleasant things till thas been made.

Just look about your own circle and see the hundreds of people about whom you can say: ‘‘What fun does he get out of life?”"—— And most of them rarely get any.

And the day came. He was not so old, but he was tired anid weary and the desire for the kind of pleasure he thought he would have liked had gone with the years of end- less work.
