Toung man, I saw you making fun
of a poor old man the other day. ' I
heard you ribald Jokea about mm.
To be sure he waa rather an amus
ing sight In bis queer clothes and
halting walk. It would be amusing
to a person without pity In their sys
tem. The old man was in a strange
town. He bad no trienos, no money.
no place to t o. "Home" la a strang
er to blm. But be waa young and
strong at one time. Tbe flush of
youth was on his cheeks; his eyes
were clear and his step elaatlcT In
those days he could-likely have taken
you and rolled you in the dust as Of
ten as be wanted to. He could have
poked you In tbe nose, and siappea
your jaws until your teeth rattled
without half trying. But he haa run
his race and Is now patiently waiting
for bis summons to cross the bar.
Tou will be like him some day. The
time will come when you will be no
better oft than the old man. Tour
ears will be greeted by coaree Jokes
from the kids and you will realise
what It is to be alone. That la, you
will be unless you materially change
your ways. For with all -your youth
and gayety, you are cutting no more
Ice In the world than the poor old
fellow who waa the object of your
mirth.- . ,r- '
