Show Boys do You Hear That ? A New Orleans paper tells of a printer who, when his fellow workmen went out to drink beer put in the bank the exact amount he would have spent if he had gone out to drink. He kept this resolution for five years. He then examined his bank account and found ho had on deposit $521 S6. In five years he had not lost a day from ill health. Three out of five of his fellow fel-low workmen had, become drunkards, and were discharged. The water drinker then bought out the office went on enlarging en-larging his business, and in twenty years from the time he began to put by his money he was worth $100,000. 'ihe story, wether new or old, teaches a lesson which every boy and young mau should lay to heart. |
