THE MAN WHO DESERVES THE 

 CHEER. 



Never admire a man just because he 

 has money. Any chump can get that, if 

 he is mean enough to scrape it up and go 

 without comfortable things to acquire it. 

 P»ut the man who thinks, strives, works, 

 and sweats to grind out something that 

 is of benefit to the whole race — that's 

 the chap for whom to cheer ! When I 

 think of the telephone, the phonograph, 

 and the electric light, I realize that all 

 men are not born equal ! Some get a 

 bigger share of energy. — Robert Lloyd.
