THEY HAVE TO WORK Wilton Lackaye one of ot the foremost men on the tha American stage believes that it is a good thing men have to work He Ha seem to regard as a curse those words which the Lord pro pronounced pronounced pronounced upon Adam Just the gates of ot the Garden of at Eden Here Is Isa Isa isa a scrap from rom a recent monologue of ot the actor The Tha socialists are ara obliged to assume that a man will wUl work if It he have to and that is not hot true I for tor one will not I dm an the most indolent man in the world and yet I have had to work hard every day of ot my life Ute since I got big enough to do anything Why Because that was the only why way I could get got what hat hatI I wanted I want to beg belI and I 1 want to steal so I had to work Well It has been the dream of at my life Ute to lie under a tree and read a book and think lofty thoughts about the plays ys I Ishall Ishall Ishall shall produce and Just what Fm rm going to do if 1 the socialists pull it off otto And it a curse The working workingman man is the best man It is his only chance for tor health arid and happiness It Is his only sure road to get good out of the world If It he work he ha rots He deteriorates deteriorate in both body and mind And yet so strangely is humanity constructed that if It men could get what they want without working they would all be idle These young millionaires who make shipwreck of ot life Ufa are ara not so soc c 5 much to blame as are those thoS who permit them to live in For the very most part fortunately men have hav to work to get tet food tood and clothing and all the Joys they desire And there is fairness in the proposition because by working they can surely 8 rely get what they want So that whatever the work may be with plowshare or pencil or pen it comes as a blessing and not as a curse Be Ba glad you have work and do it so sowell wen well that you will receive the tha last vestige v of ot the blessing which means happiness for tor you here and Heaven hereafter
