Show Lesson of the Tug. There's nothing dishonorable in being be-ing a tug. In times of need a tug is worth a thousand pleasure boats. It's what a man is able to do and does that tells what his worth is. Good clothes are pleasant to look upon, but they are often a hindrance in times of distress. Kid gloves may have a place in the family pew and social functions, but the ways of the world demand tougher stock in labor. It takes overalls, corduroy and buckskin to stand the strain. They are not beautiful but they are mighty efficient when the right kind of power gets inside in-side of them. And you are no less a gentleman because they fit you. That man is honorable who makes himself respected by his conduct and the work he does. No amount of polish can atone for a mean ideal. And no amount of toil can lower the man of honor to the level of the beast. The tug may be insignificant beside the lines, but its work is just as honornble and often requires just as much brains and skill to accomplish it. Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania Grit. . |
