I DON'T CARE.

IRLS and boys, I Wish to tell you Of a foe you enterta*- ; I have seen you with him often, And the fact has caused m e pain. For he only seeks the ruin

Of your lives so young and fair — Re’s a foe, cool, sly and cunning, Ampftis naipe is “I don’t care.” Have you ever, thought dear children, That “I don’t care” is a thief. Taking from you time and order, Candor, friends, and all save grief? Don’t you notice the bold falsehoods That he daily tells to you, And that makes you say “I don’t care,” When at heart you really do. Break the habit, children, break it; Do not use the common phrase; Smaller things than this have started Many a life ‘i reckless ways. Guard your your thoughts, your actions, To yourselves be true and dare Not let the good life slip by you With a, reckless “I don’t care.” Flow Schoonmaker Armstrong in Pittsburg Press.
