No Use.

It's mighty disappointing when you've
sat and fished all day,
And had to grin and bear it while the
hsh all got away.
You've done the very best you could with
hook and line and bait,
And nothing else remained except to trust
to luck and wait
You may as well take comfort in the Lazy
summer day
And feel the breeze and watch the shift
ing shadows in the bay,
And do your best to tell the truth when
you go home at night,
Cause there's no use kicking If the fish
refuse to bite.
And when the years are passing-'most
as swiftly as the days,
And you find the things you longed for
have all turned to other ways,
It's better to appreciate the laughter and
the song
Than take solemn vow that all the
world is going wrong.
It's hard to be convinced that you have
struck losing chance
No matter If the game be love- anibi-
ton. or finance,
But the days are full Of sunshine and the
stars all shine at night
And there's no use kicking If the fish
refuse TO bite.

Comte de Fersen, the gallant and
devoted adherent OF Marie Antoinotte,
while passing through italy called for
horses at the inn of Radicofani The
landlord refused to let him have
horses that night, so he had to sleep
where he was. He left his courier
stretched outside the door when he
retired and placed a couple Of loaded
pistols beside his bed In the middle
of the night he awolte with the con-
sciousness of another presence In the
room, He saw by the moonlight a
figure dressed as Masons are clad.
The figure informed him that he had
been murdered by his wife and that
his body had been placed beneath the
bed upon which the count lay. His
spirit could not rest, he said, until
his murder had been avenged. The
connt promised to see that justice was
done, and the apparition, after slip
ping a curious old ring upon his I'm.
ger, disappeared. The count went at
once to Rome, where he saw the
Swedish minister, Count Lowenjelm.
Lowenjelm Immediately recognized
the ring upon De Fersen's finger as
one worn by the peasants in the Rad
icofani district, and, upon hearing the
story, gathered military and police
and went with his informant back TO
the inn. They moved the bed and
found that the flags had been recent
ly upturned They took these up and
there found the body Of the Mason,
dressed just as he had appeared to
the count. The innkeeper and his
wife, seeing the evidence against
them, confessed their crime and were
taken to Rome, tried, convicted and
executed.
