A REAL REUBEN A family moves into a town and the first thing the people on the I street begin to ask are they in our set? Perhaps they are in the right set, pay their bills and become prime movers in efforts to make the community a better place in which to live. But they may be of that other class, the class which those of the average town does not learn how to handle. ! After years of experience with see| ing persons come and go it becomes patent that only the better class of people are really desirable, the class that wants to work and pay its way, or, being beyond the necessity of work still wants to pay its way. A family can move into a town and become its greatest burden, without breaking its ordinances or laws. The shiftless arc the first to beg for assistance when cold weather comes, they are more often the first to take contageous diseases and spread them. | If the fire whistle blows it is more | than likely that it will call the department out to fight a fire started [ by carelessness, ignorance or faulty I stoves. If the police siren is sound| ed, it is a nine-to-one shot that it is I calling the police to settle some difI borne of some poor, I shiftless person. When death comes, chanty is asked to put away a person of this class that has in all probaj O'my spent more money foolishly than those who have to dig up to | bury him. It is always the improvident and the shiftless who never try to save or do for themselves, who become the burden upon society. They always have a hand to hold out asking for something at the hands of others. Ignorance and lack of education, which are not always the same thing, are usually found to be factors in keeping this class of persons on the chanty roll. They may prosper for a time, but they never save a cent for the rainy day, they seem to know that those who work and who are educated will take care of them in some way, and yet it is the burden of their song that those who are able to help them are "keeping them down." "Charity suffereth long and is kind." Those who supply money for charity never seem to stop to consider that there might be some other way than doling out help to this class. It has never occurred to many that indolence is a disease, that shiftlesshess is a disease, and that these ills may be cured by colonization and segregation of the sexes and evan the families, until the individuals are cured so that they<jwill be willing, in order to hold the4r place in a home, to shift for themselves.?Monroe Enquirer. * I " I 1 I I ? 1 .
