Show GIVING NATURE FAIR CHANCE Sluggard Satisfied He Had an Admirable Admir-able Excuse for Refusing to Be Up and About. "Arise I" we said in a tone admirably adapted for declamatory purposes, addressing ad-dressing the sluggard, who was still slugging at an unconscionably late hour. "The lark Is up to meet the sun. The bee is "on the wing. Remember the manner in which the experienced school boy read aloud the admonition to Lucy. He had been taught that 'when be encountered two letters of the same kind he should pronounce them 'double-o,' or whatever they might be, Instead of 'o,' 'o.' So he sternly recited, but 'Double up, Lucy!' The sun is in the sky,' and so forth. Why do you not double up, and to your tasks away?" "That Is a very good story," replied the sluggard, "but it does not move me. We are told that nature does most of her repair work on us while we are in bed. It Is my Intention to lie here until she fixes me up so that I feel like going to work." Kansas City Star. |
