It's not their fault; thoy aoe their dads like drunken sailors blow tho scads; they're taught by every jH spendthrift dub that money grows IH on tree and shrub. They hear no par- jH ent wlso uplift his voice-' to preach jH tho creed of "thrift. And ' when jH they've grown to man's estate, and find It their's to pay the freight, the habits they have learned today will make them prematurely gray. Ere long these booming times must pass, fj tH and men must scratch to gain tho 'M brass; and youths who've learned to ' 'ciJH blow It in, but not to store it In., a 'vVI !)bln. will have a handicap so tall -tM that it will force them to tho wall. Do parents over pauso and think,- as thoy blow in tho shining chink,' for furbelows and costly lids, how they are bringing up the kids? Or don't they care a holy whoop if kids- of theirs should reach the soup? Oh". let's get back to frugal ways, and' savo against the rainy days. oo |
