Thousands of young mein who are

dollar for a rainy dday. They ,never
see anrytlung In their salaries but a
"g+ood tune," and they never develop

"Oh just getting alongi," 'Just mak-

whe, when he says he will ibe there
at a certain time, will he there, rain

he will deo something far a friend, can
be 'thoroughly relied ore to do it. The
thing we admire about, him: is ihlsj a+bii-
ity to keep a promise. Unfortunately
Inotvmany people treat their promises
in
aa easy-going sort of sways, keeping
them when it is easy to . do Iso and
neglecting them nvhem they pleases?
There• is a double .loss. In this way lief
dealing -.the loss of actual keeping of
the promise itself ter the cine \tvho
expected it, and -what is a geed deal
mare serious -the loss of that sense
of xel'iance in ,the one of whom the
fulfillment was expected. 'The ideal
for all to copy is the man t- whose
words and deeds coincide, the man
whose word is as' goad as his band.
