No one would feed lain, no one would take him in, even though he uf feted to pay them. "For mercy's sake, a glass of water," he plead. "A charge . of shot," was the reply. The dogs even chased him away from their - '.kennels when he sought shelter with ' them. .He left the village, and would ' Jiavc slept in the open fields, but it seemed that even the elcmnts were hostile toward him, and the rain beat . down in torrents. . Becoming desperate, he entered a - liouse, announced that he was Jean vai jean, .trie convict, prouueeu iu yellow pass-port and expected to be turned away again." Instead, the man, -whose house he had entered, was the old bishop, and he was fed and kept for the night. The best silver was snread on the table for him and the choicest room in the .house given hraij Nineteen years of coid, hunger, toil; misery, and want! The silver would mean, temporarily at least, rood, cloth ing, rest, comfoit. In the small hours " -of the night he slipped out of the '.bedroom, betraying his benefactor, stole the silver and fled. In the morning he was arrested and when the silver was found upon him he explained that the bishop had given ,it to him. He was taken" to the bish op's house to see whether or not this was true. Now all hope was gone, for he knew that the most he could expect would be a life sentence in , Stead of the possible death penalty . for his theft. But to his utter atnaze "."

A small payment down and the balance over a period of three years, makes it possible for any one with even limited means to own a business lot in or near the center of Franklinan investment on which you can't lose. Ask any business man here his opinion. Lots just across the street from these have recently sold at $1.50 per square foot.

COURT HOUSE A as Lest he could, and that he now turned it out to them for the siyue purpose. The point that I am trying to il lustrate is this: Rotary teaches that our goods and our talents, those things thai the Creator in His wis dom has seen fit to endow us with for the term 'of our natural lives, are not our property, but are most as suredly our responsibility a responsi bility not to be treated lightly. There is not a man in this room that docs out have information and ideas stored away that would be a benefit to the others of us, and that would be of value to us in solving the ordinary problems of business and of living. And each would, no doubt, gladly give the others the benefit of this information and these ideas, if he only realized that the others needed it and wanted it. I know of, no better way lor the one possessing them to impart them than for that man simply to get up and tell it. In this way each of us will leave the club meetings feeling that he has gathered information, ideas, and ideals of value ; filing that he is better ac quainted with the vocation the other man pursues; feeling the importance of his crafe more keenly; and, above all, feeling that he knows the other man better; that he has a keener sympathy for him and the work that he is doing and that he is in better position to be of real service , to him or to be served by him. I wondered at first why the Rotary Code of Ethics was hot discussed in the second person instead of the first; why the word "my" was used in stead of "our." But after reflection I saw clearly why this was, and especially--astrr the first canon rf th cGodc "To-consider-rny vocat ion worthyr-and - asffordinE-iTieLa---(fe-4 tinct opportunity to serve society." It is because it is "I," not "We," who holds this vocation in trust, and be cause it is "I" who am responsible for making it serve society. Of course, the same rule applies to each of us, and if the rest of you are in the same fix that I am in, we all know very little about what the other fellow-is trying- to do to cause his vocation to serve society. As for me, if I cannot make you realize what I am trying to do, if I cannot make you see that my vocation is worthwhile to you as-well as to jne, I am not only doing my vocation an injustice, but am depriving myself of the oppor tunity to make this vocation serve society as it should as well as de- r,r mnr vnq nf SrttTJCtbillWSJlicH. VOll you as a member of society have a right to expect from that vocation. ' Dr. Furr could easily make ussce clearly theimportance of- the work that - he-isTtloing,- the-extent-to-which his vocation serves society, and per haps, save us many a toothache. We would gladly know just hoi it is that Dcvercau Kicc takes something from the earth that is doing no gooc to any one, and not only makes a use ful product of it, but furnishes many a Macon county citizen meat and raiment for his . family. Jess Conlcy would, no doubt, gladly tell of that most marvelous and most mysterious development of transportation, the NEW FOKD, since he has been able to get his eyes on one long enough to see what it looks like; and since we have a creamery in our community, we would not now be afraid to know just how and where the. butter that .we cat is made. If the Rotary club does nothing more than to get its members ac quainted with each other to the ex tent that we have' a mutual sympa thy for each other and each other's work, it will have accomplished a wonderful work.
