overlapping. It. of no use to start such
stories in country where PEOPLE study ge-

LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT.

Let's often talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And not about the sad ones.
We were not made to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake it;
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men,
Or be believers in 1t;
q light there is in sTery soul
That takes the pains to win it.
Oh there's slum bering good in all,
And We perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we maksit.
Thsn here's to those whose loving hearts,
Shed joy and light about them,
Thanks be to them fer countless gems
Veneer had known without them.
oh this should he a happy world
To all who may psrtake it;
The faults our own if it is not
