NEWS =—=—== OF INTEREST IN THE — SOCIAL REALM The man who wins is an average man, Not built on any peculiar plan, Not blest with any peculiar luck, Just steady and earnest and full of pluck. When asked a question, he does not “guess,” He knows, and answers “no” or “yes,” When set at a task that the rest can’t do, He buckles down till he’s put it through. Three things he’s learned! that the man who tries, Finds favor in his employer’s eyes; That it pays to know more than one thing well; That it doesn’t pay all he knows to tell. tSo he works and waits, till one fine day There’s a better job with bigger pay, And the men who shirked whenever they could Are bossed by the men whose work made good. For the man who wins is the man who works, Who neither labor nor trouble shirks, \V ho uses his nands, his head, his eyes, The man who wins is the man who tries. —The Optimist.
