What A Chamber Of Commerce Does For A Man

The best description of what a local Chamber of Commerce does for a man was well voiced once by William Allan White, when he said:

"The Chamber of Commerce modifies the innate cussedness of the average selfish, hard-boiled, picayunish, pennypinching, namow-gauged human porker, lifts up his snout, makes him see farther than his home, his business, and, his personal interest, and sets him rooting for his community. A man, no matter how greedy or how squint-eyed he is, cannot work a year upon a committee of his town's Chamber of Commerce without being a better father, a better husband, a better citizen, and a better brother."

Eulogy To A Pie

An apple pie is not merely a vehicle for the exhibition of its components in their own nature. It is a glorious unity in which sugar gives up its nature as sugar and butter ceases to be butter, and each flavorsome spice gladly vanishes from its full nature that it may rise into a new life of an apple pie. Not that apple pie is no longer apple. It, too, is transformed. And the apple pie, though born of apple, sugar, butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon, is not like any of these, but the compound ideal of them all, refined, purified, and by fire, fixed in blissful perfection.-Henry Ward Beecher.

RILEY'S LIVING PHILOSOPHY

It's natchural enough, I guess, When some gits more and some gits less, For them-uns on the slimmest side To claim it ain't a fair devide; And I've known some to lay and wait, And git up some, and stay up late, To ketch some feller they could hate Fer goin' at a faster gait.

The signs is bad when folks commence, Afindin' fault with Providence, An balkin cause the earth don't shake At every prancin step they take. No man is great'til he can see How less than little he would be If stripped to self, and stark and bare, He hung his sign out anywhere.

My doctern is to lay aside Contentions, and be satisfied; Jest do your best, and praise er blame That follers that, count jest the same. I've allus noticed grate success Is mixed with troubles, more or less, And it's the man who does the best That gets more kicks than:hH;l
