Show LUCK AND LABOR Luck whines: la.'ior whistles. Luck believes in chance: labor believes in elbow grease. Luck looks for something to turn up: labor turns it up with thought and spade. Luck lies in bed and dreams of a. rich relative dying and leaving It a legacy, or some great person, with favors fa-vors to give, suddenly discovering the dreamer to be a genius : labor rises before the sun and gets busy with saw or plow or pen, and lays a foundation for something worthwhile for Itself. Luck hit it off big yesterday, but spent it all while waiting for another hit to come along; labor stuck to Its chosen task and showed a margin of profit on every day. Luck finally died in the almshouse: labor won an independent competence for its old days. |
