Give Us More Like Jim

By C. H. Meiers

By C. H. Meiers, of the Pasadena "Daily News"

JIM PORTER is a quiet chap. Folks do not like him very well At first, because he doesn't talk Unless he has something to tell; But when they've known him for a while, They like his way, because they know That when he does say anything, He speaks the truth for weal or wo.

He is not hasty to decide Against his fallen fellow men; And when he sees one try to rise, Jim does not kick him down again, But lends a helping hand, and gives A word of cheer, to make the climb A little smoother; and, somehow, It helps the climber every time.

Jim hasn't climbed up very high, So far as fame or fortune goes; He's just climbed to the trust and love Of everybody that he knows. Still, he is glad that he has not Climbed up too high to understand His duty to his fellow men, Or how to lend a helping hand.
