Bide Your Time

When fortune treats you slightingly
And everything goes wrong.
Remember that you still are free
To labor and be strong.
To him who bravely does his part
Misfortune is no crime,
Just hold your grip and keep up heart
And learn to bde your time
The sureSt road to greatness lies
Through hard and patient work
The glorious name that never dies
Comes not unto the shirk.
Fame sits u9on an eminence,
A pinnacle sublime;
He who would win must seek her thence
Strive on and bide his time.
The man of hope and energy,
Who keegS one goal in sight,
Who goes his way with constancy,
VIII some time win the fight.
The man whose life a glory lends
To every age and cline
Is he whose purpose never bends.
Who works and bides his time.
Co onward. Ger the futures hills
The dawn falls cool and sweet.
Go onward. He can win who willis
And bows not to defeat.
Go onward, through your path may lie
Through calumny and slime.
The way will brighten by and by.
Go on and b:de your time
And when the fight at last is DER
The toll at last is done:
When standing on life's farther shore
Beneath her setting sun;
Beyond the futures unbarred gate,
The bells of Heaven chime:
And Justice, love and glory wait
For him who bides his time

from rs cents per yard up. and as they

with fur capes. The REFER coat will
be used. however, for the majority.
This Is what we are coming to. For
the present moment we are wearing
combinations of plaid and plain, quite
the smartest of which is a plaid skirt
of a rather large and friant pattern
worn in conjunction with a saque coat
of plain cloth, whose color harmonizes
with that of the skirt. This is an En-
,glish fashion, and though it can hardly
be called a new mode, it is, for the mo-
