AMONG OUR POETS
KEEP SCRATCHIN’
Said the little, old, red rooster,
“Gosh, all mighty, things are
tough;
Seems that worms are getting
scarcer _
And I cannot find enough.
What’s become of all those fat
ones
Is a mystery to me.
There were plenty in that wet
spell,
Now where can they be4”
The old black hen who heard
him
Didn’t grumble or complain.
She had been through many
dry spells
And just flew upon the grind-
stone
And gave her claws a whet.
She said, “I’ve never seen the
time
There were no worms to get."
The little rooster spent his time
Through habit in his ways
Where fat worms had passed
by in squads
Back in rainy days.
When nightfall found him sun-
perless,
He growled in accents rough,
“I’m hungry as a fpwl can be
Conditions sure are tough.”
He then said to the old black
hen,
“Well how are things with
you ?
You are not only hungry,
But must be tired, too.
I rested while I looked for
worms
So I feel fairly ‘perk’.
But how are you without
worms, too,
And after all that work.”
The old black hen hopped on a
perch
And closed her eyes in sleep.
She murmured in a drousy
tone,
“Young man, hear this and
weep.
I’m full of worms and happy,
too.
I have dined both long and
well.
The worms were there as al-
ways ,
But I had to scratch like' heii*u—“

THE “ON TIME” HABIT
One of the most irritating and inexcusable habits
one can fall into is that of being late to appointments.
When one agrees to meet a friend at a certain place, at
a certain time, he commits two sins if he fails to be
there on time, the sin of robbery and the ain of lying.
He robs his friend of valuable time which he loses by
the other being lute, and he fails to keep his word.
This habit also works havoc with organizations—
church, Sunday School, clubs, lodges and all public
gatherings. The hour is set fof’a certain time but it !s
generally taken for granted that it will be a few
mtoutes late starting. Some people have fallen into the
habit of thinking that the proper way to keep a 7:00
appointment to to commence getting ready at 7:30, then
show up at the appointed place from fifteen to thirty
minutes late. They think it is well enough to get in just
a few minutes after a program has started. But those
giving the program do not think so. They are irritated
“'•"Wy'yog’r tardiness.
A person who is habitually late at appointments is
perhaps mot very orderly in anything else they dqg A
laggard is not prised very highly as a member of any

“Mary remember that you are only a servant; I
