SMILE WHENEVER yoU CAV

wben things dea't q tosnii you,
And the worial seeuss upside doan.
Don't waste your time In fre;ling.
But drive away that irown:
since life is Oft perpiesing,
IT'S much the wiscst plan
To bear all trials brayely,
And Eniie whcneyeT you can.
why should yeu dread tomorrow.
And thus despoii to-day?
For when you borrow trouble,
Ycu always have topay.
it's good old MAXIM
Which often should bs preached
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge Is reached.
You mightbe spared lauah sighing-
II you want to keepin mind
The thought that good aEd evil
Are always here combined.
There mast be something wanting
And though you roiiin wealth.
fou may miss from your casket
Thepreeious jeBel-heaith.
And though you're strong AMI sturdy
You may have an eiapty purse;
And earth has many trials
Which consider verse.
But whether JOY on soirpw
Fill up your mortal span,
rwiil make your pathway brighter
To smile whenever you can.

thereto, It says: s:The United States. may

to observe the treaty of Washington, but
even il the Russians succeed in cquipping
their little fleet it will hardly do much mis-
our cruisers than to inf1ct damage on our
