Show Little Acts of Courtesy. .f Saturday, the Salt Lake Automobile club gave an .auto ride to the little -orphans who are being 'cared for in the fvo orphanages of Salt Lake. Jt was a little thing". for the members of this club to do and involved but a slight expenditure of time end money, yet the good it did is not to be measured by either of these. ( These little orphans are practically waifs of the world. " They aje homeless, , friendless little-cast awayg. True, they are warmly housed, well clad ' and fed and are cared for by warm-hearted men and - women, but their abiding place is not home. They - ' do not know what home is.' Many of them have never known a mother's love and'eare. J' . When it was made known to them that they were to go "automobile riding", many did not know . J what was meant until they were told they were to ride in a "buggy without any horse."' Imagine if you can the effect on these little waifs.! The joy and delight they exierienced as they were taken about the streets. of the city in one . of the mysterious wagons. It was a pleasure that will furnish these youngsters' with a topic of conversation con-versation for many days. And it was all accomplished at the-cost of a few cents' worth of gasoline and a possible slight in-. in-. convenience. , ' It is the little things of life that make this istence worth the living. The little amenities and courtesies, costing nothing, but far-reaching in their - effect. In this busy : working world, the average business man gives heed to little else than the al-. mighty dollar, yet if ho did, even this same almighty . dollar might not be so elusive. . x It pays to be courteous and thoughtful, and this " courtesy and thoug'htfulness should begin -at home, , and extend from there throughout all of the places : a man may be. Children raised in such an atmosphere atmos-phere can not but help carry ; it with them when they leave the home nest to make a new abiding - place, even though they may stray from the paths marked but for them. 'r - ' -The-smallest act of thougbtfulness will return an hundred fold. The kindness of the Salt Ifake k . 'Automobile club was of this character and : the world would be far brighter and better were, others - to follow the example set. ft MMMiBBaBaaaaaaiaaaBaiBSsassssssssssss1,1,,,1,,''''T |
