OUR TOWN.

My boy, you may uot like this little town — Perhaps it is uot big enough for you. You are afraid that it will keep you down — Deny the chance you are entitled tc. Of course, vour father hasn't found i*. bad. Here he and ma b’ve lived contentedly. But you’ie a bigger fellow than your dad, Or, if you aint, you think you ought to be. And yet, before you jump the town for good, Some plain advice I'd like to give you, son. Perhaps the town you haven’t understood— Perhaps the town’s alight and you’re the one. Fame finds a man, no matter where he’s at, So time has proved, and : will prove again ; And, if you want to rise, remember that The smallest towns have grown the biggest men. Success or failure, and to win or lose, Are not a consequence oi time or place. No matter what the goal that you may choose, No matter what the obstacle you face. Success will seldom find the wanderer, The prodigal who looks for pastures new. While through the world you wander seeking hkr She may be waiting here at home for vou. —American lumberman.
