He Tried Them
A yoting man went Into a local
drug store one day last week and saw
a woman buying some moth balls -old
of a jar. Thinking they were candies,
and liking the looks of them he said
to the druggist, "Give me tog cents'
worth of those, tbo." Going outside
he put a couple in his pionth, and ten
imirtutes later the drnggist had a tele -
Phone call from. a physician who lives
nearby asking what he had sold a
certain, patient of his for candy., the
said patient having rushed into his of-
fice in a highly- excited state, saying
be had been poisoned, The dreggist
" after a 'moment's cogitation, rememb-
ered the sale of moth balls to the
man, and the cause of the rumpus was
revealed. There was e. quick recovery
and the young man has stomach

Beside a giant printing press

With svitift and active hands!
He sometimes -Wishes that his arms
Wee -e strong as iron bands.
His mind is well informed and cmick
To know and think and, plan;
His heart is full of earnest care
To be an honest man;

Far more than any voice;
By what he tells about the choir
° He makes oad hearts rejoice.
Some eager are to criticize,
Some have kind things to say;
:Some ready are in all he does
'To show some better way;
And often he is cheered by those
Who always promptly pay.
Toiling,— rejoicing,— sorrowing,
He hrayely onward goes;
He seeks to make the, thorny path
As fragrant as a rose,
And seldom does the town perceive
How much_ to hine if owes'.
He merits all the grateful love
Of those he serves so well;
He does for every worthy cause
Far more thari words caii tell;
'He cheers the hearts of all the brave
And leads them to excel'.

In Billy's job, as in many positions where men have won fame and
distinetion, it is personality that counts. It is his mission in life'
to inspire confidence,. and to lure innocent sheep and lamps to their.
destruction with as great alacrity and lightness of gait as if they
were skipping to the fields of Elysium, and this he does to the Kines,
taste; he was born for his task. Though but two years old he has a,
substantial beard, and long white hoary locks. His mien is gentle
and there are no horns visible which miglat giVe rise to fatal sus-
picions. But in his eyes there is an air of command, backed by the
force cf a portly frame, which enables Billy to do what he will with,
the sheep and lambs which come within his ken, and even influences
calves to keep a straight path.. In the busy season he saves the
salaries of five men; in ordinary times he does the work of two,.
or three. .
Be was three months old when he arrived at the Canadian Pacific
- Stock Yards, Montreal, but he took to the work at once. He followed'
the heels of the men, and while other animals tried at the work had:
-to be coaxed to labor by rewards of cake and biscuits, Billy needed
no such spur, but in three months time would glance at the sheep,
comfortably, start off at a cheerful trot and without hesitation the,
doomed animals would surround him and hap.pily ascend the winding
• runway to the abattoir nearby. Then at a cosni-eand he would go
back and coax any stragglers, till he had all at hand ready to be1
slaughtered.
Now to look at Billy, it might seem that he did this work in all
-
innocence, and that he was quite unaware that he had led his charges
to any harm; but that would be doing an injustice to Billy's mighty
intellect, He leads the flock right to the edge of the platform where,
they are killed, but then he carefully edges to the wall, keeping as
far as possible from the danger point till he reaches the only spot
of safety, then he slides back from the helpless sheep, wriggles out -
and goes back for another lot. • 3
3, His treachery does not weigh on his spirits, he is utterly come;
pideent and self-salisfied, impatient to be on tile job,.
