re he by ut ng im A Hint From Hiram 'Y PATH to riches has been paved, Though crops from soil I never tilled; I never stopped a horse and saved A millionaire from being killed. Inever rescued from a lake A purse-pleased spinster, nor have I Plucked poison lifted by mistake By one whose wealth was rated high. Inever found a jeweled chain Dropped by a daughter of the rich, Nor did I ever once regain A pocketbook lost ina ditch; I never yet have seen the day When I could save a soul from harm, But I’m a rich man, anyway— I take in boarders on my farm. A. Walter Utting. A Man With a Mission HE CHEERFUL chugging of a small runabout was suddenly hushed, as the amateur chauffeur found the engine stalled in a suburban street far from headquarters. In almost no time the usual crowd gath- ered about the machine, to freely offer more or less helpful suggestions. The chauffeur was much perplexed. Opening a tool kit, he selected first one appliance and then an- other, until he had exhausted the supply of wrenches, pliers and cotter pins; then he stood at rest, completely baffled. At this point the door of a neighboring residence opened, and there came to join the group a masterly, confident man, whose very presence seemed to radiate power and efficiency. The newcomer took a careful survey of the engine before he gave the general in- quiry, “Anybody got a buttonhook?’’ Half a dozen were instantly proffered. Selecting the one nearest to him and placing one of his feet on a tire of the auto- mobile, the masterly man nearly caused a riot when he complacently observed, “Thanks. I came out in a hurry and forgot to button my shoes."” —Charles A. Leedy. In Time of Dew Prepare for Drought Brother Cassius Cautious Kush came for- ward to be baptized at the colored camp meeting. The parson was tired of bap- tizing Brother Cassius and said, “Whaffoh you always come forward to be baptized into the fold? You done been baptized seventeen times, nigger. I'se baptized you my own self every fall since the big woods burned and Marse Honeycutt died fom ober-exertin’ hisself. Ain't dat de truf?”” ““Amen,"’ said Cassius. “How many times you-all expect to be baptized, dat’s what I ax ye?”” “I reckon,"’ replied Cassius Cautious Kush, “I'll be baptized every year. De oftener I gets dis mortal clay soaked down, de safer I'll be from sparks on dat great ¢ay when de world am all on fire. Halle- lujah!"* —C. L, Edson. Doing Business with a Business Concern The business man is an important factorin your daily life and happiness. He may raise wheat or cattle; he may manufacture flour or shoes; he may run a grocery or adrygoods store; he may operate a copper mine or a telephone company. He creates or distributes some commodity to be used by other people. He is always hard at work to sup- ply the needs of others, and in return he has his own needs supplied. All of us are doing business with business men so constantly that we accept the benefits of this intercourse without question, as we accept the air we breathe. Most of us have little to do with government, yet we recog- nize the difference between business methods and government methods. We know that it is to the interest of the business man to do something for us, while the function of the gov- ernment man is to see that we do something for ourselves—that is, to control and regulate. We pay them both, but of the two we naturally find the business man more get-at-able, more human, more democratic. Because the telephone business has become large and extensive, it requires a high type of organization and must employ the best business methods. The Bell System is in the business of selling its commodity—telephone service. It must meet the needs of many millions of customers, and teach them to use and appreciate the service which it has provided. The democratic relation between the customer and the business con- cern has been indispensable, providing for the United States the best and most universal telephone service of any country in the world.
